When I See It (Demo) Lyrics

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell 'em what you know, what you seen
How I roll, how I get it on the low
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell your friends about it
I'm that nigga with the hair
Singin' 'bout poppin' pills, fuckin' bitches, livin' life so trill

[Interlude: Kanye West]
Let me get more volume
Nah, nah
Louder than my voice

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Roll some, think I’ll roll some
If you know some, let you know somethin’
You lie, yeah, you lie
Think it’ll hold nothin’ like a [?]
I know some’ when I see it
I know, I know, I know, I know when I see it
[?]
[?], baby, baby
When I pulled up to the light, tonight
I know love when I see it
Diamonds in the color of those eyes
[?], and I know the ride when I see it
I know the subject when I-
[?], I know the ride when I see it
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell 'em what you know, what you seen
How I roll, how I get it on the low
Go tell your friends about it (About it)
Go tell your friends about it
I'm that nigga with the hair
Singin' 'bout poppin' pills, fuckin' bitches, livin' life so trill

[Interlude: Drake]
With stories of truth and stories of sin
Yeah

[Verse 2: Drake]
Look, you remind me of Jane Birkin, your body insane in person
Wanna do special things for you, you deserve it
But you're too famous to buy you purses
That barely scratches the surface
This time is different, you give me purpose
Tell me you taking it serious, I gotta ask how serious?
'Cause your serious has just been not that serious
Got me on tour acting like I'm not that curious
Ignoring all the pussy that's thrown at me
Been thinking 'bout home actually
Where Roxx has Kim, and Mark has Ashley, and Niks has Ezee
And I, I don’t even know what I have anymore
[Outro: MIKE DEAN]
[Guitar Solo]

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
