Glow
Drake Kanye West Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Watch out for me, I'm 'bout to glow
You better watch out for me, I'm 'bout to glow

Your boy all glowed up
Every time we touch down, bet it go up
'Member doin' shows, ain't nobody show up
Pour your heart out, ain't nobody show love
They used to laugh when my whip was on the tow truck

'Til me and bein' broke finally broke up

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

Time to shake the dice, time to change the li-i-ight
No more 9 to 5, autopilot dri-i-ive
Used to work the fries, now we supersi-i-ize
We go suit and tie, we gon' touch the sky-y-y
We so certified, we so certifi-i-ied
Fuck you haters still, that's an F-Y-I-I-I
They gon' bang this here all summerti-i-ime

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

Yeah, yeah
Turn me way up, my voice is really low
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay

Watch out
Watch out, why nigga?
The cops out, cops out
It's all love when I ride top down
Top down
I started out way down low
Started from the bottom, now we here now

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

We about to get the whole nine
The whole nine, we just landed on a gold mine
We the new Abu Dhabi, this is our time

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

I just take the dreams I've been sold
And sell 'em for more
You already know

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

Hope I deal with karma 'fore my son do
'Cause I be drivin' round this bih with no sunroof
Man the glow got me feelin' like I'm gunproof

Watch out for me, I'm about to glow

I still have my guard up
Blame this thing I'm part of
Trying to avoid more confrontation
I just gotta try harder
Taking the time to clear my mind 'cause
Soon as I'm able to let that go

Watch out for me, I'm bound to glow

Through devotion
Blessed are the children
We love y'all too!
We believe if there's anything y'all wanna do in life
You need devotion
Can I hear right on?

Through devotion
Blessed are the children
We live for it
Clap your hands this evening
Come on y'all
I said it's alright

Clap your hands this evening
Come on y'all

Overall Meaning

In the song "Glow" by Drake and Kanye West, the chorus repeats the phrase "Watch out for me, I'm 'bout to glow" as a proclamation of confidence and success. The verses detail the journey of the two rappers from humble beginnings to their current status as successful artists. They both struggle with the lack of recognition and support they faced in the past, but they now revel in their newfound success.

In the first verse, Drake describes how he used to perform shows with no audience and how people used to mock him for driving a tow truck. He also reveals how financial struggles were a part of his early life. Nevertheless, he is now proud and confident of his stardom. Kanye follows in the second verse and asserts how his past hardships made him successful, and he is now living his own version of the American dream.

The song's bridge, which features a gospel choir, provides a moment of reflection and appreciation for life's blessings. One can assume that it is through their devotion to music that both West and Drake are now able to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
