Nice for What Lyrics
I wanna know who mothafuckin' representin' in here tonight
Hold on, hold on
I keep lettin' you back in (lettin' you back in)
How can I, explain myself?
Care for me, care for me, you said you'd care for me
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me (Lil Weezyana shit)
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me (Murda on the beat)
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me?
Care for me, care for me, I know you care for me
A song for y'all to cut up to, you know?
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me (yeah)
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me?
Everybody get your mothafuckin' roll on
I know shorty and she doesn't want no slow song
Had a man last year, life goes on
Haven't let that thing loose, girl, in so long
You've been inside, know you like to lay low
I've been peepin' what you bringin' to the table
Workin' hard, girl, everything paid for
First, last phone bill, car note, cable
With your phone out, gotta hit them angles
With your phone out, snappin' like you Fabo
And you showin' off, but it's alright
And you showin' off, but it's alright (alright!)
It's a short life, yeah
Care for me, care for me, you said you'd care for me
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me?
That's a real one in your reflection
Without a follow, without a mention
You really pipin' up on these niggas
You gotta, be nice for what, to these niggas?
I understand
You got a hunnid bands
You got a baby Benz, you got some bad friends
High school pics, you was even bad then
You ain't stressin' off no lover in the past tense
You already had them
Work at 8 A.M., finish 'round five
Hoes talk down, you don't see 'em outside
Yeah, they don't really be the same offline
You know dark days, you know hard times
Doin' overtime for the last month
Saturday, call the girls, get 'em gassed up
Gotta hit the club, gotta make that ass jump
Gotta hit the club like you hit them mothafuckin' angles
With your phone out, snappin' like you Fabo
And you showin' off, but it's alright
And you showin' off, but it's alright
It's a short life
Uh-huh! (Oh yeah!)
These hoes! (They mad!)
Your boy! (I had!)
I made! (Watch the breakdown)
Care for me, care for me, you said you'd care for me
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me?
Gotta make that jump, gotta make that, gotta, gotta make that
Gotta make that jump, gotta make that, gotta, gotta make that
Gotta, gotta, gotta g-g-gotta, g-g-gotta, gotta
Gotta, g-g-gotta, gotta, gotta make that jump, jump (let's go)
Bend it over, lift it up, bend it over, lift it up
Make that jump, jump
Bend it over, lift it up, bend it over, lift it up
Make that jump, jump
Bend it over, over, over, over, over, lift it up
Make that jump, jump
Bend it over, lift it up (make that jump, jump)
Bend it over, lift it up (make that jump, jump)
That's a real one in your reflection
Without a follow, without a mention
You really pipin' up on these niggas
You gotta be, nice for what, to these niggas?
I understand
Care for me, care for me, you said you'd care for me
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me?
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd cry for me
Gotta hit the club like you hit them, hit them, hit them angles
It's a short life, yeah
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me?
Watch the breakdown
Care for me, care for me, I know you care for me
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me, you said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me?
Care for me, care for me, I know you care for me

Care for me, care for me, I know you care for me
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me
Meaning of Nice for What
“Nice For What” by Drake is a deceptively complex exploration of attraction and the transactional nature of relationships, framed within the context of fleeting celebrity encounters. The core of the song revolves around Drake’s pursuit of a woman who embodies a certain brand of superficial success – a “real one” as he calls her, reflected in her material possessions like a Benz and a substantial bank account. However, this isn't a romantic ballad; it’s a shrewd assessment, almost a calculated move within the game of attraction. The repeated questioning – "Care for me, care for me, you said you'd die for me? Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me?" – reveals Drake’s awareness that this woman is primarily interested in his status and wealth rather than genuine affection. He’s not seeking a devoted partner; he’s observing her as a desirable accessory, someone who validates his success and provides an image of desirability.
The lyrics detail the superficiality with sharp precision: “High school pics, you was even bad then,” highlighting a past she’s trying to distance herself from, and “Hoes talk down, you don't see 'em outside” indicating a carefully curated social circle. Drake subtly critiques this woman’s manufactured persona, acknowledging her shallow pursuits while simultaneously being drawn to them. The song isn’t simply about lust; it’s about recognizing the value of appearances in contemporary dating culture and the strategic use of admiration – "nice for what" – as a tool to gain access to a certain lifestyle. Ultimately, Drake's message is cynical yet undeniably relatable, capturing the anxieties and calculations inherent in navigating modern relationships where status and validation frequently outweigh genuine emotional connection.
