THE MERCEDES SHOW
The scene opens up inside of Mercedes personal studio set for her show inside the MIL Headquarters. Inside the scene shows a packed audience, some jamming to the music while others play in their phones or have side conversations. Snippets from Mercedes 6th album 6 plays through the speakers and Mercedes makes her way out to a standing ovation from the crowd.
MERCEDES: I freaking love you guys, since day one you guys have been on my team. And I appreciate that so much, but first I want to thank everyone for joining us for another edition and season of The Mercedes Show.
The crowd cheers and Mercedes cracks a smile.
MERCEDES: As you all know we had a little break but we are back and boy do I have a lot of surprises in store for my studio audience every week. But let’s get right down to business, as you know usually I’ll announce HATER OF THE WEEK but this time I wanted to do it a little early, get it off my chest so I can move on to the next topic. Oh btw our special guest tonight is my sons father and big time rapper and producer Drake Andrews.
The audience claps.
MERCEDES: He will be joining us shortly, but back to the topic at hand and that’s this weeks HATER OF THE WEEK I sat and thought about this for a minute because I use to be a fan, but her attitude and ego just turns me all the way off. I don’t know if any of you guys watch Love and Hip Hop Hollywood but she was on this most recent season and let me say this I wasn’t impressed. So Kimberly aka K. Michelle. You are this weeks HATER OF THE WEEK.
MERCEDES: And the sad thing is this picture of her is really cute, but deep down inside she is a miserable soul and that’s just what it is. You can be wicked on the outside but we all know how in pain you really are on the inside. Switch your attitude up sis and maybe one day you can have more good happen in your life than bad, KARMA is a bitch.
Mercedes smiles and the crowd cheers.
MERCEDES: But moving onto something worth talking about. I just wrapped up my 6 tour and I had the greatest time, I think this was my favorite tour because of how successful the album was and how important this album was to me. I know I said I was done but after the success with the 6 album I’ve decided to release the album again but in a Deluxe form which will include 4 new songs and 4 remixes with some special guest. I won’t drop names but I’ll say this, you won’t be disappointed.
The crowd cheers.
MERCEDES: But let's get to the show, Again I wanna say how excited I am to do another season of my show and this season will be full of surprises, giveaways and some special guests. Speaking of guest I want to introduce a man who holds a special place in my heart, I met him a few years ago when my agent introduced me to him. Now in the beginning it was about the music, but feelings developed and I was blessed to give birth to my son Drexel who is turning 2 very soon. Now I’m sure everyone in this room knows the backstory of what happened with Drake and I but if you don’t then I’m sure after today you’ll know. Everyone please welcome Drake Andrews.
Victory by Drake Andrews plays in the background, the people in the audience stand and applaud Drake as he walks out. Drake walks over to Mercedes and greets her with a hug and a kiss on the cheek before sitting down.
DRAKE ANDREWS: What's up tho!
MERCEDES: First off I want to say thank you for stopping by today, I know you aren’t big on interviews and stuff but it’s appreciated that you put that hate for interviews aside for little ole me.
DRAKE ANDREWS: You know it's all love ma. Besides i couldn't say no anyway. You wouldn't let me.
He chuckles, running his fingers through his beard.
MERCEDES: Well it’s good to have you here and you know we’re going to talk about a lot of stuff and I’ll ask the questions that everyone else was scared to ask.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Let's get it! You know I ain't scared.
MERCEDES: So since #theLIFE wrapped what have you been up to? I know you're not on the show as a full cast member but we’re so use to not seeing you unless it’s on the show or if your out with Brandon. Now when I met you I knew you weren’t the type that wanted to be in front of the camera all the time but why is that when your career involves you being behind the camera.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Let me clear that up first. I definitely don't mind being filmed at all. But im about my music and pushing my artists. I just wasn't really feeling THAT show in particular forreal.
MERCEDES: What was it about the show you didn’t like?
DRAKE ANDREWS: Cuz all they wanted to show was the negative aspects of my marriage. Like niggas know me and B went through our shit. But we not all bad. We have good moments. But that's not what niggas wanted to see. Don't nobody wanna see us happy. We are everyone's favorite couple to hate. And i don't know why. I don't know none of them niggas outside of that show. Niggas know who i fuck with. And they want the best for us. They ain't out here tryna see us fail. But that show was. I ain't want no parts.
MERCEDES: Did you guys ever talk about what happens on the show before it airs? I’m sure there may have been stuff said or done that may make the other person uncomfortable or upset when it’s played back on television.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Some shit yea. But like the little shit. The big shit...Nah. i found out when yall did.
MERCEDES: So let's talk about this Iyanla special that aired a few weeks ago.
Drake rolls his eyes while letting out a huge sigh.
MERCEDES: I could tell you didn’t want to do it from watching your body language, so why do it? Usually you guys try and be private, well at least you do.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Y'all think niggas be joking when i say B gets what he wants.
He chuckles.
DRAKE ANDREWS: But nah, we were in a really bad place. Some stuff yall didnt get to see cuz we do try to keep some shit. But this was something he really thought would save us. The next option was divorce. I knew i had to do something, or everything we built would just be for nothing. So i did it..
MERCEDES: Seems like you really love this guy, coming from your background was this relationship different for you?
DRAKE ANDREWS: Every relationship is different. I can honestly say B ain't like nobody i ever been with. Nobody ever made me wanna put a ring on their finger. He did. So on that aspect i can say im becoming a better man.
MERCEDES: So are you still sleeping with woman? Are you still having the urge to still sleep with women?
Drake chuckles nervously
DRAKE ANDREWS: I love pussy. That aint ever gonna go away. But I'm happy where I'm at. Ain't nobody gonna hold me down like B.
MERCEDES: I always felt sometimes it's a struggle for men when it comes to the LGBT community, a lot of the stuff you guys have to hide your sexuality because of what people may say or think. Do you think you were pressured to come out because of your relationship with Brandon? You guys are like a high power couple.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Oh nah. That's one thing can't nobody say about me. There was never a moment I had to come out. It's always been known that I liked what i liked. The struggle for me has always been monogamy. I've always been able to have what i wanted. I didn't get tied down because i knew i couldn't be loyal. But i got four kids now. I got a career. I can't play forever. I got a family to think about now.
MERCEDES: Explain your relationship with your parents and how do you think your relationship with Brandon would affect them if they were still around?
DRAKE ANDREWS: You kinda know about my dad. We've had conversations about him. He ain't want no parts of that life. He wouldn't have came to the wedding. He would've sent bitches to the crib to try and change me. He hated it. I don't really know if that would be different, cuz he only had a change of heart on his deathbed. But my mom would've loved B. I can hear her now! She would be team B all the way. She just wanted somebody to keep me in line.
MERCEDES: And I know losing your parents is tough, do you think that’s the reason why your so big on having a huge family because of the death of your parents.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Absolutely. I was a teenager when my mother died. And my dad was never around. Me and my brother was basically just lost. We had to grow up on our own. And that even drew us apart. I never really knew what family was. The streets was my family. I remember when I met Keisha. I told her i was putting babies in her. I wanted all of that. We was gonna have the big house, all these kids, nust start a big ass family. That's always been something i wanted. Granted thongs didn't work out that way with us, and i went about building my family the wrong way. I'm grateful for it. Its dysfunctional a lil bit. But it's mine
MERCEDES: Well despite the drama you may have in your life, the one thing I will say about you is that you are a good father. Drexel loves you to pieces and the one thing I want for Drexel is for him to love and respect his father.
Mercedes chuckles.
MERCEDES: Well that’s makes two things but you get the idea. What is your status of your relationship now? Rumor is you guys have been living separately.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Yall be on it!
He chuckles
DRAKE ANDREWS: That's the one question i was hoping to avoid...But nah. We are still married. But B wanted a lil space after everything went down. And i kinda agreed. So he went back to Vegas for a lil while. And I'm still back in Cali.
MERCEDES: Now Drake you know I love you, but the one thing I will agree with when it comes to you and Brandon’s relationship that if it’s true what he said about the babies being brought into this world without his knowledge then I would understand his frustration.
Mercedes pauses, she turns and looks at the audience.
MERCEDES: Now as I said in the beginning I do have a baby by this man, and I have no regrets. But during our courtship I was unaware of his sexuality and his relationship with Brandon, now of course I don’t mind a bisexual man but at the time since feelings were involved I would have appreciated a heads up. But we’ve moved passed that!
Mercedes turns and looks back at Drake, she grabs ahold of his hand.
MERCEDES: But we have grown and our relationship is the best that it’s ever been. I forgave you Drake and I knew it wasn’t all your fault. But do you see how that situation could mess someone up mentally and emotionally?
DRAKE ANDREWS: I did a lotta fucked up shit. I'm a man. I can admit that. I hurt a lotta people. And the fact that y'all still here kinda opened my eyes. I never meant for shit to go down the way they did. But i was one hundred percent single when i was rocking with you. Me and B were done. At least that's what we thought. I didn't think we was getting back together. And i can't help what happened between me and you. And i can’t apologize for what went down cuz it brought me my son. I just wish shit could have played out differently
MERCEDES: Do you guys plan on having more kids together someway? Maybe a joint adoption or finding someone who could possibly carry the child for you or him.
DRAKE ANDREWS: I hope so. I tell B all the time, i need a basketball team. But he aint having it. Hopefully i can change his mind.
MERCEDES: Well whatever you two decide I wish you both luck, I actually like you two together and it saddens me to see you two fighting or mad at each other.
DRAKE ANDREWS: I fucks wit B. Forreal. I'm just hoping this time apart is enough. I want my family back. The kids love him. I want it back
MERCEDES: So let's switch gears, where is the album?
DRAKE ANDREWS: It's coming!
MERCEDES: I feel like you're always in the studio but working on other peoples songs and not your own. I know you drop little freestyles and tracks here and there but we need full length albums so we can enjoy that nice flow you got.
DRAKE ANDREWS: It's definitely coming. My first priority was my artists. And now thats out the way i can fully focus on picking the tracks i wanna put on the album. I recorded so many songs. I got enough to drop two albums. But some shit just don't work. So when it feels right, imma give it to yall. You know how it goes. Mrs grammy award winner. I'm tryna get like you. So I gotta make sure its right before i put it out.
MERCEDES: I’m still waiting on that collab with me, you, and Anthony. That would be cute, kind of like a Run This Town type a vibe.
DRAKE ANDREWS:I'm wit it! Let's get in the studio! Shout outs to my boy Anthony too man! Doing big things.
MERCEDES: So I know it’s been a few weeks since you’ve seen Drexel and I know when you came in earlier you asked me if he was here and I said no.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Yea man. You know you wrong for that. You shoulda brought him.
MERCEDES: Well I lied.
One of the producers walks out with baby Drexel in his arms, he walks up to Drake’s chair who is still facing Mercedes not knowing his son is behind him. Before Mercedes could tell him, baby Drexel lets out a cute giggle promoting Drake to turn around. Drake faces widen as he jumps up grabbing ahold of his son.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Ayyyyye! Wuddup tho lil man!
Drake sits back down still holding Drexel.
MERCEDES: You are excited, well just stay that happy because he’s going back with you for a week.
Mercedes smiles.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Maaaaan, that's fine wit me! He aint seen his brothers and sister ina minute anyway.
MERCEDES: I know you’ve been busy, but with you being here today I wanted to make sure you saw him immediately. I remember you telling me you had just landed and came straight here so I made sure he was here to see you. I appreciate the daily FaceTime calls because I know you want to be in his life, but that’s what it is. LIFE! You have to work so I get it.
DRAKE ANDREWS: we got mouths to feed man. No doubt.
MERCEDES: Facts. Now from my understanding #theLIFELAMIA is officially over and trust me when I heard the news I was upset.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Yes man.
MERCEDES: But the good news is it won’t be the last time you see Drake on TV. So both you and Brandon signed up for your own reality show but It's now that’s changed, can you go into detail of what’s going on. I know, but the people watching and listening may not know.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Yea. Originally they called us and was just like they had to have B on tv. They didn't want him to stop at just the life. And they wanted to see our relationship. All of it. Not just the bad shit. But later on down the line they were just like, what if it's other couples. And people we actually rock with. We fucked with the idea. Now here we are.
MERCEDES: So yes U Da Baddest has now been changed to a couple show basically, also joining the cast will be Y’layna Bryant and her man Majesty. So you heard it first here, I’m excited but what about you? You aren’t to big on reality tv so to leave one show and join another, what made you want to do that?
DRAKE ANDREWS: I'm big really against reality. I just want the shit to be real forreal
MERCEDES: I’m really excited about the show and I’m sure this show will give the viewers a positive outlook of your life, not the negative. It’s a family show so and we have been filming and so far no drama.
DRAKE ANDREWS: for real yeah it's a lotta love and i like that
MERCEDES: Now recently you have been involved in some online drama, it looks like some of Brandon’s enemies have been coming at you. How does that make you feel? I mean you have people like Jaser, and some of the other cast members getting involved in your relationship.
DRAKE ANDREWS: I don't pay attention to the shit. I could care less about any of them niggas have to say about us or our relationship. But i look like the bad guy too when i don't engage or go back and forth. But first just aint never been my m.o. aint none of em pullin up on me… and won't. But i feel. Bad cuz it gets to B. Im fucked either way.
MERCEDES: If I can give you any advice, I would say don’t let the outside world in because once their in then they’re hard to get rid of. I love you two relationship and I want to see you win, I’ll have Brandon stop by one day and I’ll talk with him. If there’s anything I can do to help then I will.
DRAKE ANDREWS: I don't know how that would go. But anything is worth a shot bihh
MERCEDES: Now when we come back, Drake Andrews will hit the stage and perform his hit single NOBU
OOC NOTE:Credit to Dave East for Lyrics”.
The beat drops for Nobu and Drake walks on stage wearing label clothes and drenched in diamonds. Mercedes walks on stage and dances alongside Drake as he starts rapping.
DRAKE ANDREWS: It's Holiday Season, bitch
I'm back
I really ain't going nowhere
Y'all niggas really want this shit again?
Luxury leather, nigga
Well fuck it, lets go
Audermar face, the car came with drapes
You bitch spent the night, she calling in late
The cameras was on us, we walked in so late
Nobu for dinner, got shark on my plate
Just come to my room, I'm not tryin' to date
Tryna book me, send me that bag, just pick a date
She ain't used to the stars, kick that hoe out the Wraith
Get money fuck bitches and get out of-
[DJ Holiday (Recording) & DRAKE ANDREWS:
I thought y'all niggas was good after the first one
I'm back
Shieet, DJ Holiday
Really ain't going nowhere
Drake Andrews!
Karma 2!
Legendary shit, niggaa!
Luxury leather, nigga
Audermar face, the car came with drapes
You bitch spent the night, she calling in late
The cameras was on us, we walked in so late
Nobu for dinner, got shark on my plate
Just come to my room, I'm not tryin' to date
Tryna book me, send me that bag, just pick a date
She ain't used to the stars, kick that hoe out the Wraith
Get money fuck bitches and get the way
The streets told me Drake , please just put out a tape
Gorillas in Louie, don't wear too much Bape
It's not my C-Day, but I got too much cake
Your shit not gon' work bro, you got too much hate
That jealousy came you, watch me get paid
Plot on niggas, I'ma watch them for days
Man got a Rover but you're not in my Wraith (skrt)
Nothing have you more nervous than buying cocaine
Audermar face, the car came with drapes
You bitch spent the night, she calling in late
The cameras was on us, we walked in so late
Nobu for dinner, got shark on my plate
Just come to my room, I'm not tryin' to date
Tryna book me, send me that bag, just pick a date
She ain't used to the stars, kick that hoe out the Wraith
Get money fuck bitches and get the way
I'm only thinking 'bout how much I can make
Take a trip and be right back in a day
I'm getting money, can't react off the hate
Don't care 'bout how you knew me back in the day
Never thought I'd be packing out shows
Don't get too close, this shit's strapped on my waist
Pick up bags on the road, then get back with the bros
Thinking I want a purge with no mask on my face
Audermar face, the car came with drapes
You bitch spent the night, she calling in late
The cameras was on us, we walked in so late
Nobu for dinner, got shark on my plate
Just come to my room, I'm not tryin' to date
Tryna book me, send me that bag, just pick a date
She ain't used to the stars, kick that hoe out the Wraith
Get money fuck bitches and get the way
Diamond feel like the winter
She never had Nobu for dinner
I just got some dome in a sprinter
Talking that tough shit, we know that you timind
Honestly, I ain't been broke in a minute
You started this shit, I just hope you can finish
Keep calling my phone, I just hope that it's business
On the block with my old heads just sipping the Guinness
In the game, you be nervous, to me it's a scrimage
Audermar face, the car came with drapes
You bitch spent the night, she calling in late
The cameras was on us, we walked in so late
Nobu for dinner, got shark on my plate
Just come to my room, I'm not tryin' to date
Tryna book me, send me that bag, just pick a date
She ain't used to the stars, kick that hoe out the Wraith
Get money fuck bitches and get the way.
The music stops and the crowd goes insane, Mercedes grabs Drake and the two hug, Mercedes grabs the mic.
MERCEDES: Thank you everyone for tuning in and thank you Drake for stopping by, we love you and the song and we can’t wait to hear more music and make sure you guys tune in for U Da Baddest: A Family United airing in February 2019. Y’layna Bryant and Majesty will be joining us next week after episode 2 of #theLIFEATL. SEE YOU SOON Y’ALL.
Mercedes blows a kiss towards the screen and the credits start to roll and the scene fades.

I didn't think we was getting back together. And i can't help what happened between me and you. And i can’t apologize for what went down cuz it brought me my son. I just wish shit could have played out differently
MERCEDES: Do you guys plan on having more kids together someway? Maybe a joint adoption or finding someone who could possibly carry the child for you or him.
DRAKE ANDREWS: I hope so. I tell B all the time, i need a basketball team. But he aint having it. Hopefully i can change his mind.
MERCEDES: Well whatever you two decide I wish you both luck, I actually like you two together and it saddens me to see you two fighting or mad at each other.
DRAKE ANDREWS: I fucks wit B. Forreal. I'm just hoping this time apart is enough. I want my family back. The kids love him. I want it back
MERCEDES: So let's switch gears, where is the album?
DRAKE ANDREWS: It's coming!
MERCEDES: I feel like you're always in the studio but working on other peoples songs and not your own. I know you drop little freestyles and tracks here and there but we need full length albums so we can enjoy that nice flow you got.
DRAKE ANDREWS: It's definitely coming. My first priority was my artists. And now thats out the way i can fully focus on picking the tracks i wanna put on the album. I recorded so many songs. I got enough to drop two albums. But some shit just don't work. So when it feels right, imma give it to yall. You know how it goes. Mrs grammy award winner. I'm tryna get like you. So I gotta make sure its right before i put it out.
MERCEDES: I’m still waiting on that collab with me, you, and Anthony. That would be cute, kind of like a Run This Town type a vibe.
DRAKE ANDREWS:I'm wit it! Let's get in the studio! Shout outs to my boy Anthony too man! Doing big things.
MERCEDES: So I know it’s been a few weeks since you’ve seen Drexel and I know when you came in earlier you asked me if he was here and I said no.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Yea man. You know you wrong for that. You shoulda brought him.
MERCEDES: Well I lied.
One of the producers walks out with baby Drexel in his arms, he walks up to Drake’s chair who is still facing Mercedes not knowing his son is behind him. Before Mercedes could tell him, baby Drexel lets out a cute giggle promoting Drake to turn around. Drake faces widen as he jumps up grabbing ahold of his son.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Ayyyyye! Wuddup tho lil man!
Drake sits back down still holding Drexel.
MERCEDES: You are excited, well just stay that happy because he’s going back with you for a week.
Mercedes smiles.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Maaaaan, that's fine wit me! He aint seen his brothers and sister ina minute anyway.
MERCEDES: I know you’ve been busy, but with you being here today I wanted to make sure you saw him immediately. I remember you telling me you had just landed and came straight here so I made sure he was here to see you. I appreciate the daily FaceTime calls because I know you want to be in his life, but that’s what it is. LIFE! You have to work so I get it.
DRAKE ANDREWS: we got mouths to feed man. No doubt.
MERCEDES: Facts. Now from my understanding #theLIFELAMIA is officially over and trust me when I heard the news I was upset.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Yes man.
MERCEDES: But the good news is it won’t be the last time you see Drake on TV. So both you and Brandon signed up for your own reality show but It's now that’s changed, can you go into detail of what’s going on. I know, but the people watching and listening may not know.
DRAKE ANDREWS: Yea. Originally they called us and was just like they had to have B on tv. They didn't want him to stop at just the life. And they wanted to see our relationship. All of it. Not just the bad shit. But later on down the line they were just like, what if it's other couples. And people we actually rock with. We fucked with the idea. Now here we are.
MERCEDES: So yes U Da Baddest has now been changed to a couple show basically, also joining the cast will be Y’layna Bryant and her man Majesty. So you heard it first here, I’m excited but what about you? You aren’t to big on reality tv so to leave one show and join another, what made you want to do that?
DRAKE ANDREWS: I'm big really against reality. I just want the shit to be real forreal
MERCEDES: I’m really excited about the show and I’m sure this show will give the viewers a positive outlook of your life, not the negative. It’s a family show so and we have been filming and so far no drama.
DRAKE ANDREWS: for real yeah it's a lotta love and i like that
MERCEDES: Now recently you have been involved in some online drama, it looks like some of Brandon’s enemies have been coming at you. How does that make you feel? I mean you have people like Jaser, and some of the other cast members getting involved in your relationship.
DRAKE ANDREWS: I don't pay attention to the shit. I could care less about any of them niggas have to say about us or our relationship. But i look like the bad guy too when i don't engage or go back and forth. But first just aint never been my m.o. aint none of em pullin up on me… and won't. But i feel. Bad cuz it gets to B. Im fucked either way.
MERCEDES: If I can give you any advice, I would say don’t let the outside world in because once their in then they’re hard to get rid of. I love you two relationship and I want to see you win, I’ll have Brandon stop by one day and I’ll talk with him. If there’s anything I can do to help then I will.
DRAKE ANDREWS: I don't know how that would go. But anything is worth a shot bihh
MERCEDES: Now when we come back, Drake Andrews will hit the stage and perform his hit single NOBU
OOC NOTE:Credit to Dave East for Lyrics”.
The beat drops for Nobu and Drake walks on stage wearing label clothes and drenched in diamonds. Mercedes walks on stage and dances alongside Drake as he starts rapping.
DRAKE ANDREWS: It's Holiday Season, bitch
I'm back
I really ain't going nowhere
Y'all niggas really want this shit again?
Luxury leather, nigga
Well fuck it, lets go
Audermar face, the car came with drapes
You bitch spent the night, she calling in late
The cameras was on us, we walked in so late
Nobu for dinner, got shark on my plate
Just come to my room, I'm not tryin' to date
Tryna book me, send me that bag, just pick a date
She ain't used to the stars, kick that hoe out the Wraith
Get money fuck bitches and get out of-
[DJ Holiday (Recording) & DRAKE ANDREWS:
I thought y'all niggas was good after the first one
I'm back
Shieet, DJ Holiday
Really ain't going nowhere
Drake Andrews!
Karma 2!
Legendary shit, niggaa!
Luxury leather, nigga
Audermar face, the car came with drapes
You bitch spent the night, she calling in late
The cameras was on us, we walked in so late
Nobu for dinner, got shark on my plate
Just come to my room, I'm not tryin' to date
Tryna book me, send me that bag, just pick a date
She ain't used to the stars, kick that hoe out the Wraith
Get money fuck bitches and get the way
The streets told me Drake , please just put out a tape
Gorillas in Louie, don't wear too much Bape
It's not my C-Day, but I got too much cake
Your shit not gon' work bro, you got too much hate
That jealousy came you, watch me get paid
Plot on niggas, I'ma watch them for days
Man got a Rover but you're not in my Wraith (skrt)
Nothing have you more nervous than buying cocaine
Audermar face, the car came with drapes
You bitch spent the night, she calling in late
The cameras was on us, we walked in so late
Nobu for dinner, got shark on my plate
Just come to my room, I'm not tryin' to date
Tryna book me, send me that bag, just pick a date
She ain't used to the stars, kick that hoe out the Wraith
Get money fuck bitches and get the way
I'm only thinking 'bout how much I can make
Take a trip and be right back in a day
I'm getting money, can't react off the hate
Don't care 'bout how you knew me back in the day
Never thought I'd be packing out shows
Don't get too close, this shit's strapped on my waist
Pick up bags on the road, then get back with the bros
Thinking I want a purge with no mask on my face
Audermar face, the car came with drapes
You bitch spent the night, she calling in late
The cameras was on us, we walked in so late
Nobu for dinner, got shark on my plate
Just come to my room, I'm not tryin' to date
Tryna book me, send me that bag, just pick a date
She ain't used to the stars, kick that hoe out the Wraith
Get money fuck bitches and get the way
Diamond feel like the winter
She never had Nobu for dinner
I just got some dome in a sprinter
Talking that tough shit, we know that you timind
Honestly, I ain't been broke in a minute
You started this shit, I just hope you can finish
Keep calling my phone, I just hope that it's business
On the block with my old heads just sipping the Guinness
In the game, you be nervous, to me it's a scrimage
Audermar face, the car came with drapes
You bitch spent the night, she calling in late
The cameras was on us, we walked in so late
Nobu for dinner, got shark on my plate
Just come to my room, I'm not tryin' to date
Tryna book me, send me that bag, just pick a date
She ain't used to the stars, kick that hoe out the Wraith
Get money fuck bitches and get the way.
The music stops and the crowd goes insane, Mercedes grabs Drake and the two hug, Mercedes grabs the mic.
