For Free Lyrics
Would you fuck me for free?
Another one (Another one, another one)
We the Best Music! (Music, music) Major Key! (Major Key)
DJ Khaled!
[Verse 1: Drake]
Yeah, I go on and on
Can't understand how I last so long
I must have the superpowers
Last two-hundred twenty-three thousand hours
And it's 'cause I'm off of CC
And I'm off the Hennessy
And like your boy from Compton said
You know this dick ain't free
I got girls that I shoulda made pay for it
Got girls that I shoulda made wait for it
I got girls that'll cancel a flight back home
Stay another day for it
You got attitude on na-na
And your pussy on agua
And your stomach on flat-flat
And your ass on "What's that?"
And, yeah, I need it all right now
Last year I had drama, girl, not right now
I would never go and chat what we talkin' about
You the only one I know could fit it all in her— man
I always wonder if you ask yourself (Ask yourself)
Is it just me? (Just me)
Is it just me?
Or is this sex so good I shouldn't have to fuck for free?
Oh, is it just me?
Yeah, is it just me?
Or is this sex so good I shouldn't have to—
[Verse 2: Drake]
Fuck for free
I know you workin' day and night to get a college degree
Bet nobody that you've been with even know you a freak, right?
You know you only do that with me, right?
Yeah, double checkin' on you
You know I never put the pressure on you
You know that you make your own mind up
You knew what it was when you signed up
Now you gotta run it up
I be out of words, tryna sum it up
Girl, you throw it back like one love
Even let me slash on the tour bus
Yeah, I talk to her but she don't do enough
Even though you in the hood, I'm still pullin' up
Dip, dip, straight to your doorstep
This the real thing, can you feel the force yet?
I always wonder if you ask yourself (Ask yourself)
Is it just me? (Just me)
Is it just me?
Or is this sex so good I shouldn't have to fuck for free?
Oh, is it just me?
Yeah, is it just me?
Is this sex so good I shouldn't have to—
Would you fuck me for free?
[Outro: DJ Khaled]
Another one (Another one)
They don't want me to have another anthem
So I made sure I got another anthem (Another anthem)
It's We The Best OVO
Summer's ours
It always has been
Don't ever play yourself (Haha, haha)
One time for Future the Prince
One time for 40
One time for Drake
Yeah, another one
Bless up
About
“For Free” is DJ Khaled and Drake’s summer ode to good sex. In it, Drake references Kendrick Lamar’s 2015 song “For Free?” and intentionally keeps the hook ambiguous, playing with the idea of men and women paying for sex.
Earlier, on Khaled’s Snapchat, he talked about “the Drake vocals finally [being] in,” referencing the then unreleased song.
The song samples lyrics and cadences from Too $hort’s “Blow The Whistle” and interpolates Akinyele’s “Fuck Me For Free.” The funky guitar riff underpinning the beat is sampled from 17:30 in [|] by Majid Jordan.
“For Free” is the fourth collaboration between DJ Khaled and Drake, following “No New Friends,” “I’m On One,” and “Fed Up.” Khaled also put an ad-lib at the end of Drake’s “Summer Sixteen.”
The track was just certified gold by the RIAA, meaning it’s sold over 500,000 copies.

This is a real story: I was shooting my album cover, and I had a real lion on the album cover. I was sitting on the throne, and the lion was right here. Drake texts me with the second verse done. Mind you, I’m shooting my album cover, the lion is in front of me, and I’m on the throne. I swear on everything this is a true story. I even snapped and said, “The Drake vocals came in!” And the lion roars. This is all real. I’m not lying! You can go document and go find this.
I thought that was so powerful and spiritual and amazing. I couldn’t sleep at night until it was done. Because I knew I had the Jay Z record done. I just gotta finish this Drake record. I come with the Drake. Boom! I come with the Jay Z. Boom! And it’s gonna be like “Who does that?” My first two singles was Drake and Jay Z and Future! It’s unbelievable.
The guitar riff is sampled from “I” by Majid Jordan.
