Drake – Madonna Lyrics

Madonna Lyrics by Drake

Drake named this song after the Queen of Pop, Madonna Ciccone. She later went on Instagram to express her approval.

The subject matter deals with Drake attempting to hook up with an unnamed ting. He claims that making his sexual acquaintance can make her famous, much like how Madonna fucked her way up to the top by sleeping around with influential songwriters and music producers. The original idea of “Madonna” comes from the Francis and the Lights track, “Get In the Car.” Drake basically gives him a shoutout. Francis produced Drake’s past track, “Karaoke”.

This song (and “Legend”) sample Ginuwine’s “So Anxious,” which can be heard towards the end of the track around 2:20. The specific lines sampled are:

Soon as your shift is over
And I’ll be waiting, ‘cause I can’t sleep for reminiscing

Which again echos Drake’s plea for his girl to submit.

Drake added a second verse to this song for the CD version of the album.

According to Quentin Miller when addressing the infamous ghostwriting rumors, Drake had freestyled Madonna.

[Chorus]
Breathe through, ride through
Damn, girl, oh man, I don’t know
Pilled up, filled up
Damn, girl, I’ll be gettin’ back to you for sure (Man, man)
Laced up, dripped up, sauced up
Damn, girl, I wanna ride with you
Waved up, goin’ up, glowin’ up, growin’ up
Had to get it poppin’ with you

[Verse 1]
What if I pick you up from your house?
We should get out, we haven’t talked in a while
We should roll to see where it goes
I saw potential in you from the go, you know that I did
I don’t know if you know, but I know who you are
You could be big as Madonna
Just get in the car and then let’s touch the road
Don’t make other plans
Say you get up early, you work for the man
Well, he’ll understand
Pull up, I’m pullin’ up on you in ten
Already on ten
Big as Madonna, I’ll say it again (Six-six-six!)
Soon as you get in (Oh no, no)

[Chorus]
Breathe through, ride through
Damn, girl, oh man, I don’t know
Pilled up, filled up
Damn, girl, I’ll be gettin’ back to you for sure
Laced up, dripped up, sauced up
Damn, girl, I wanna ride with you
Waved up, goin’ up, glowin’ up, growin’ up
Had to get it poppin’ with you
And I do

[Verse 2]
Plan this shit out on my own, the way it should go
Wrote it in code then wrote it in stone
So they’ll never know
But I might tell you one day you never know
We’ll see how I feel
We’ll see if you hold up your end of the deal
For now let me handle the wheel
And don’t worry about doing your hair
Or what you should wear
This not a video shoot I don’t care
Don’t over-prepare
Got to remind me again where you stay
Even though I think I know the way
But, you know, just in case I miss the road
Pulling up on you in ten just be ready to go

[Chorus]
Breathe through, ride through
Damn, girl, oh man, I don’t know
Pilled up, filled up
Damn, girl, I’ll be gettin’ back to you for sure
Laced up, dripped up, sauced up
Damn, girl, I wanna ride with you
Waved up, goin’ up, glowin’ up, growin’ up
Had to get it poppin’ with you
