Drake & Frank Ocean, Virginia Beach: The Lyrics & Their Meaning

The intro of “Virginia Beach” lyrics by Drake & Frank Ocean talks about how their romantic interest’s mother would be proud of their lovers. In the chorus of the song, Drake longs for an authentic relationship. He sings about his desire to lean into a relationship without having to compromise on anything. The rapper says he is willing to move mountains for his partner since he is so emotionally invested. However, he suspects that his lover is using him for “social climbing” only but he is seeking genuine love. He repeats the phrase “lean into me” as he yearns for a deeper connection and emotional intimacy with his lover.

In the first verse of the song, Drake reflects on his previous relationships. He regrets that he could have treated his ex-partner better but he did not. But he switched from this perspective and he says he treated her the best. He simply longs for the same days while describing the complexities of his relationship. He compares himself to contrasting facets of Virginia Beach itself, i.e. pretty yet rough. He yearns to go back to the days when love was genuine and it wasn’t overwhelmed by material possessions. Drake hints at feeling used as she uses his money to purchase a car for herself. So, he says he treated her the best despite her unappealing nature.

The second verse of “Virginia Beach” lyrics by Drake talks about a lack of communication in this relationship. He says his conversation with his romantic interest is filled with short tempers and unresolved issues. Also, he says he was annoyed as she used the word “period” to establish her opinions while rejecting his opinions simultaneously. Despite the problems, he wishes to introduce her to the girlfriends of his friends so they can build connections with each other. He says she cooks for him in a cryptic way as he praises her beauty by alleging that she knows how to bake. Then, Drake finds himself in a brawl with another guy who is interested in his partner. But as Drake is protective of her, he is willing to be in a conflict with her. The outro repeats the intro section.

Virginia Beach Lyrics

[Intro: Drake & Frank Ocean]
I bet your mother would be proud of you, ooh (You, you, you, oh)
I bet our mother would be proud of you, oh
I know what you say
You say I coulda treated you better or whatever, but
I don’t know, I think I did alright
Know what I’m sayin’?
And you know how you get
Drawin’ conclusions like you got a Parsons degree or somethin’
I coulda treated you better, that’s crazy
Nope

[Chorus: Drake]
Lean in, lean in soda, Fanta, fantasizin’
That’s not love you’re in, it’s more like compromisin’
I move mountains for you, f… that social climbin’
Lean into me, lean into me
Yeah, lean in, lean into me

[Verse 1: Drake]
Pussy ain’t makin’ me tweak, ended up stayin’ a week
She pretty but ghetto, pretty but rough, just like Virginia Beach
I wanna get back to the days that you love me for nothin’ but what you could see
You bust down the Jubilee, I swapped it and made you go factory, wait
You put some pain in me, I wanna get back to the major league
She wanna grab on the throttle, I wanna get back in the driver’s seat
That n… spend his last check on your car and you got it and drove it to me
Ask me if I coulda treated you better, but no

[Chorus: Drake]
Lean in soda, Fanta, fantasizin’
That’s not love you’re in, it’s more like compromisin’
I move mountains for you, f… that social climbin’
Lean into me, lean into me
Lean in, lean into me

[Break: Drake]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
Grr, grr
Yeah

[Verse 2: Drake]
Our texts feelin’ like a fencin’ match, your temper shorter and I’m sensin’ that
You keep talkin’ ’bout some, “Period,” but where you ’bout to end the sentence at?
‘Cause you been goin’ off on my a…, then I tell your a… where I’m at
And you act like I’m not supposed to mention that
I introduce you to my friends’ girlfriends, you ain’t interested in makin’ friends
Talkin’ ’bout you wanna cook for a n… in the kitchen, can you make amends?
Least we know you got the cakes on you, girl, you should prolly stick to bakin’ then
Workin’ this crop like the rubber chute, I swear that I’m not tryna smother you
I got to know a whole other you, but let’s not forget how I discovered you
We ain’t even gotta mention that, any n… try and trouble you
He gon’ find out that it’s on-site like W-W-W
On site like dot-com, put a baby in you, a hot mom
Yeah, ask me if I coulda treated you better, but no
Not at all, not at all

[Outro: Frank Ocean]
I bet our mother would be proud of you, ooh (Mother would be proud)
