Drake and Ton Oliver releasing the “Choose Texas Remix” brings us a song about wealth, romance, and Texas culture. The track focuses on Drake’s relationship with a woman from Texas. He likes her loyal personality and how she is willing to sit with him and listen to his deeply personal problems.
“She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way she grip on my wood grain
She’s down to take a hundred shots with me and talk about my pain”
Drake names several Texas cities and rich neighborhoods, like River Oaks and Sugar Land, to show how the woman’s lifestyle has changed. He believes he is the best man for her, saying that no superhero or regular guy could treat her better. By the end of the verse, he brags about his money, joking that he is so rich he never even needs to check his bank balance.
[Chorus: Drake]
Yeah, ayy
She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way she grip on my wood grain
She’s down to take a hundred shots with me and talk about my pain
It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see
A cowgirl ends up riding off on me
Drinkin’ Yak all by myself
She’s from Texas, I can tell, baby
[Verse 1: Drake]
Big wooden wheel, where should I go?
Johnny Manziel with hits that I throw
College Station nights you used to know
Now you’re getting fried down in River Oaks, I already know
Sugarland, Pearlland, Woodlands, you just need a good man, oh
Yeah
Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, they can’t save y’all like I want to
No
Salesman, businessman, postman, they can’t write it like thе notebook
You still can’t name me onе man that I should get overlooked for, what?
Yeah
It’s a solar eclipse tomorrow and your period hit in the morning
I hand you a joint when I rolled it, this the summer you say you quit smokin’
And you ask me ’bout cashin’ a check, and you ask me what’s in my account
And I don’t even know what that is, ’cause I don’t even check
‘Cause I don’t even check
[Chorus: Don Toliver]
(Big wooden wheel, that’s shit I know)
Four big texts, can’t text, bae, I can’t make this up (That it’s you, babe)
Sippin’ Yak all by myself (That it’s you, babe)
She’s from Texas, I can tell (That it’s you, babe, yeah)
[Verse 2: Don Toliver]
Lead me to OCTANE, yeah
It’s all on the house, it’s all on your blouse
It’s all over your mouth right now
Donny ain’t here for now
Pre-rolls in my house, it’s guns in my couch
Don’t touch unless you wanna find out
[Chorus: Don Toliver]
(Big wooden wheel, that’s shit I know)
Four big texts, can’t text, bae, I can’t make this up (That it’s you, babe)
Sippin’ Yak all by myself (That it’s you, babe)
She’s from Texas, I can tell (That it’s you, babe, yeah)
