On “Schemin' Up,” OB O'Brien, Drake, and Preme discuss their rise to success and how their beginnings were wildly different from the lavish lifestyle they live now.
Drake’s first verse is the same as his verse on Rich Homie Quan’s unreleased track “Tell Me Why,” which leaked in September 2014.
[Intro: Drake]
Reps Up, OVO, you already
[Verse 1: Drake]
All my niggas so hungry, man, they just eat what they kill
I like convertible Bentleys and houses deep in the Hills
I might tell the whole crew come through
My squad gotta roll through, come through
Tell the young high school kids keep dreamin'
Because they sure do come true
Then I say: this that fuckin' mob shit, this that fuckin' player shit
This that shake a bottle up and bust the top and spray the shit
Bitches gettin' dugout like where all the fuckin' players sit
And like you just got traded, girl, you don't know who you're playin' with
Aw yeah, aw yeah, and my sound is what up right now
I've been down, but I'm up right now
Nigga been backstrokin' and breaststrokin'
Through that lane that you left open, man, I don't give a fuck right now
Let a nigga swim in the pussy on the low
'Bout to go drown in the cup right now, holla at me
[Hook: Drake]
Yeah, I got two tings comin' through
And they do whatever I want 'em to
Yeah, we call that schemin' up
We call that schemin' up, we call that schemin' up for real
I used to drive the Acura to school
Now I don't touch the wheel unless it's new
Yeah, we call that schemin' up
We call that schemin' up, we call that schemin up for real
[Verse 2: OB OBrien & Drake]
Passin' up on pretty women everyday (We do that shit!)
I like getting money, I love getting paid (You knew that shit!)
Bitches tell me that I look like 40 everyday (For sho)
That's okay, I'll go and fuck them forty minutes straight (Hey!)
Hey, showin' up to 40 forty minutes late (Alright, alright)
Just send forty to The H and put forty in the safe (Alright, alright)
Damn, I got forty on my neck and wrist (Right!)
OVO Soundboy, got 40 on the mix (Sound, mix!)
Mix, all I do is mix (Mix!)
All my tings are mixed (Mix!) and I make 'em mix (Mix!)
That means I make 'em kiss, I make 'em pop, I make 'em strip
(Alright, alright!) TOPSZN, I just sprinkle with my fingertips
[Verse 3: Drake & OB O'Brien]
No Money Manziel, the game is at a stand still
How am I the man still? How am I the man still?
I, I might, I might call up Pam still
Tell 'em bring a can still- brrt, brrt, brrt!
Still, tell them bring the rider, get my roll on
Big Tymer ting, go get your roll on
Tell them basic bitches they can hold on
I'm at the Hazey in the lobby with my robe on
Bring you to Habibiz, get your smoke on
I been going Hamilton for so long, yeah
This ain't a joke ting, I want the whole thing
I want my new ting, to meet my old ting
Let them get well acquainted, let them get hella faded
I'm halfway through the race and I'm already celebrating
I'm on that Y shit, I'm back on my shit
I ran the game so long, I should be wearing Dri-FIT
Oh yeah, I'm poppin' again
And it kills me to yell out free Baka again
But free Baka again, and free Greezy one time
Shout out Sammy and Peezy one time, you know what it is
She's like "TOPSZN, is that a bad thing?"
I'm like "I don't know, are you a bad ting?"
[Hook: Drake]
Yeah, I got two tings comin' through
And they do whatever I want 'em to
Yeah, we call that schemin' up
We call that schemin' up, we call that schemin' up for real
I used to drive the Acura to school
Now I don't touch the wheel unless it's new
Yeah, we call that schemin' up
We call that schemin' up, we call that schemin up for real
[Verse 4: P. Reign]
Reps Up tell anybody, OVO, we ain't just anybody
Flight risk on my right wrist, I been cookin' up to feed everybody
I get a chicken, one night about it
We'll fuck your bitch and then write about it
Made a half a mill', went and bought a choppa
Cause nowadays you can't kill without it, bow!
We the stars, in the six, we the gods
Found the guns, I'll beat the charge
I left the court screaming "Fuck the law, these hoes and all!"
I'm a star, like that steak, nigga way too raw
Run the streets, I hate the beef cause I take that shit way too far
Yeah, OVO the clique, I told Drake when we were kids
I'll ride with the 45 until the day we run the 6
Tell them niggas don't play it
Someone tell Flex drop a bomb 'cause we made it
Hop on the jet and fly over to Haiti
Just so you know I was high when I made this, run up
[Hook: Drake]
Yeah, I got two tings comin' through
And they do whatever I want 'em to
Yeah, we call that schemin' up
We call that schemin' up, we call that schemin' up for real
I used to drive the Acura to school
Now I don't touch the wheel unless it's new
Yeah, we call that schemin' up
We call that schemin' up, we call that schemin up for real
[Bridge: Drake]
You know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know
We call that schemin' up for real
You know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know
We call that schemin' up for real
[Outro: OB OBrien]
We dreaming up
TOPSZN we that new regime, we schemin' up
OVO Sound, crank it up
TOPSZN we that new regime, we schemin' up
