T-Pain’s "Buy U a Drank" has been a certified club anthem for years now; however, there’s a good chance most of you were singing it wrong the whole time.
On Wednesday, T-Pain went to Twitter to finally clarify the song’s lyrics—specifically the lines in the hook. Many people have sang the song: "I'ma buy you a drank / (Ooh wee) I'ma take you home with me." But the actual lyrics are: "I'ma buy you a drank (And then) I'ma take you home with me."
In retrospect, this makes a lot more sense. But don’t feel too bad if you’ve been messing up the lyrics for the past decade. T-Pain insists the lyrics are "whatever you want it to be." He’s just grateful that you enjoy the record.
The news sparked shock and denial.
T-Pain wasn’t done. Shortly after he cleared up the lyrics for "Buy U a Drank," he turned his attention to the 2010 DJ Khaled track "All I Do Is Win," which featured him, Rick Ross, Ludacris, and Snoop Dogg. Many people misheard the hook’s lyrics as: "Everybody hands go up / And they stay there, and stay there." But T-Pain revealed that the actual line is: “And they stay there, and they say yeah.”
He apologized for the misunderstanding.
Twitter's mind was blown for a second time today:
