Best I Ever Had Lyrics » Drake
[Intro]
You know, a lot of girls be
Thinkin’ my songs are about them
This is not to get confused
This one’s for you
[Chorus]
Baby, you my everything, you all I ever wanted
We could do it real big, bigger than you ever done it
You be up on everything, other hoes ain’t never on it
I want this forever, I swear I can spend whatever on it
‘Cause she hold me down every time I hit her up
When I get right, I promise that we gon’ live it up
She made me beg for it ’til she give it up
And I say the same thing every single time
I say, you the fuckin’ best (Ayy), you the fuckin’ best (Ayy)
You the fuckin’ best (Ayy), you the fuckin’ best (Ayy)
You the best I ever had (Ayy), best I ever had (Ayy)
Best I ever had (Ayy), best I ever had
I say, you the fuckin’
[Verse 1]
Know you got a roommate, call me when there’s no one there
Put the key under the mat and you know I be over there
(
Yup
)
I be over there, shawty, I be over there
I be hittin’ all the spots that you ain’t even know was there
And you don’t even have to ask twice
You could have my heart or we could share it like the last slice
Always felt like you was so accustomed to the fast life
Have a nigga thinkin’ that he met you in a past life
Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin’ with no make-up on
That’s when you’re the prettiest
I hope that you don’t take it wrong
You don’t even trip when friends say
“You ain’t bringin’ Drake along?”
You know that I’m workin’, I’ll be there soon as I make it home
And she a patient in my waiting room
Never pay attention to the rumors and what they assume
And until them girls prove it
I’m the one that never get confused with, ’cause

FAQs About Best I Ever Had
What did Drake say about “Best I Ever Had”?
This song was inspired by Drake’s ex
Nebby.
“Hotline Bling”
is also rumored to be about her.
Drake said she was the inspiration behind the hit “Best I Ever Had” on Toronto’s FLOW 93.5 radio station. He mentioned her on
Take Care
track
“Look What You’ve Done”:
It’s like ‘09 in your basement and I’m in love with Nebby
When asked about who “Best I Ever Had” was about,
“Who was ‘Best I Ever Had’ about? Was it about a specific person?” Drake said:
Yeah yeah it was, you’re going to get me killed up here (laughing) yo this is wild
Uh, yeah it was about a wonderful woman from the city by the name of Nebby and she was just the best, best woman that, that I’d ever had, period I guess. She represented everything about the city that I loved
What has the producer, Boi-1da, said about the track?
When I was making [‘Best I Ever Had’], I was living with my parents at the time. I forget my age, but I was just in the basement and a friend of mine had given me a folder of old-school samples and what not. So I ended up going through the folder and finding the ‘Fallin’ In Love’ sample. There was just something about the intro that stood out to me, which is what I chopped up and made the whole beat out of.
I remember making that beat really quick. It was simple, I thought it was kinda just a skeleton, but it was enough for Drake to make a massive record out of it. He wasn’t with me at the time when I was making that—he was on tour with
Lil Wayne
at the time. I had sent it over to him and Drake did what Drake does best, which is make a hit song. He killed it.
When I’m making beats, I always have Drake in mind first. Since we were young, I always thought Drake was going to be the greatest rapper ever. The majority of things that I make, almost all of them [are made with] Drake in mind because he doesn’t make mistakes. When he finds the right beat, you don’t even have to question what he does with it.
[‘Best I Ever Had’] changed my life. It started my career and made people take my craft seriously—and Drake seriously, too. That was the most successful song I ever had at the time. I was able to feed my family and myself because at the time I was working a few jobs and living with my mom still. Actually, I think when that song came out I had just quit my job. [Ed. note: Boi-1da was working at Winners, a discount store, in Toronto at the time.]
I knew it was an amazing song, but not having made a huge hit before, I didn’t know it would be as big as it would be. I knew it was a hit, but I’d never made a hit song so I couldn’t tell. I wasn’t like, ‘Oh yeah, this is gonna be a hit.’ I just knew it was a very special song and it took off.
Me and Drake met at a young age through a friend—a fellow producer named D10—and we’ve just been working together ever since we were 17 years old. I just understood the vision of what he was trying to do. Great guy, one of my best friends, and I just wanted to be a part of making him the biggest artist in the world.
