Parade on Cleveland Lyrics

[Part I]

[Intro: Drake]
Woah

[Verse: Drake]
How the f**k you out here going tit for tat?
(Tit for tat)
I should've saw the signs, how could I miss that?
(How could I miss that?)
Ayy, soon as I'm fresh out the box like a Tic-Tac
We having sex soon as I get my b!tch back
It ain't gone be sexy when I get my l!ck back
I'm about to mop up some boys, it's custodian time
Me and my thoughts is the loneliest time
Don't tell me 'bout loyalty, show me this time
Don't tell me 'bout loyalty, show me this time
Business is business, you owe me this time
Slime on your head, Nickelodeon time

[Chorus: Drake]
Oh, woah
Parade on Blevеland soon as I get home
I'm coming home
I'm coming homе
All the dawgs, all the lifers
All the pythons, all the vipers
Parade, parade on Bleveland soon as I get home
You already know, you already know

[Segue: Young Thug & Drake]
Hello, this is a prepaid call from Jeffery
An inmate at the Cobb county adult detention facility
To accept this call, press zero
To refuse this call, hang up or press one
Yo, what's up, my brother?
What's up, my brother?
Talk to me, what's the word?
Uh, I ain't doing sh!t, man
Just pushing more Peter, more sweeter, more completer
Than any Peter pusher around
See what I'm saying, twin? Ha (Ha-ha-ha)

[Part II]

[Verse: Young Thug]
Spider back, I'm a big dawg, you a cat
How is that you was ever in the format?
Honeybun, on the bed, yeah, hundred racks
Sun's up, I ain't sleep, I been counting stacks
Hands down, yeah, the big dawg coming back
Think you good? N!gga, pants down, you smoking crack
Michael Kors robe, mm-mm, nah, Michael Jackson
Back in like forty days, forty seconds
Backend after backend like I'm trapping
Actually, I been trapped in
But I took a black b!tch to Beverly Hills
Now she white, Michael Jackson
After we f**k, she told her friends, "B!tch, it's cracking"
Made a jail call to your b!tch, she say you down
You a bug in the grass, finna get ate by my cow
I'm just living my life on the jet, riding 'round
Two hoes with me, one white, the other one Bobby Brown

[Refrain: Young Thug]
Business is business, business is business, business is business
Business is business, business is business, yeah
Business is business, business is business, business is business
Business is business, business is business, yeah
Business is business, business is business, business is business
Business is business, business is business, yeah
Business is business, business is business, business is business
Business is business, business is business

[Outro: Young Thug]

[Verse]
Drake starts off by questioning someone's behavior, saying "How the fuck you out here goin' tit for tat?" He is criticizing this person for engaging in petty back-and-forth exchanges. Drake then reflects on his own naivety, admitting that he should have seen the signs and not missed them. He mentions coming out fresh like a Tic-Tac and having sex once he gets his partner back. However, he also warns that things won't be pleasant when he seeks revenge, using the phrase "get my lick back." Drake then uses metaphors to describe his dominance and readiness to confront his enemies. He mentions being like a custodian, ready to clean up or take care of business, and emphasizes the importance of actions rather than mere words when it comes to loyalty. Drake concludes by asserting that business is business, indicating that he expects what is owed to him, and makes a playful reference to the Nickelodeon TV channel with the line "Slime on your head, Nickelodeon time."
