[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
All these bitches hate you
This is something I know
Because you're real enough to give it up
There ain't nothing wrong with groupie love
You're the only one I notice
It's really hard for me to focus, yeah
'Cause my body so numb
All I do is kill pain
All I do is smoke loud
Put you niggas to shame
I be rolling all day, mix it in the champagne
And these bottles all free, not a single drink paid
Because they want me, they want me in their club
But if you got the numbers, I'll be glad to show you love
'Cause, baby, I'm an XO nigga coming up
Every time they play my song, I'ma fill another cup
'Cause I'm down for whatever, I can always keep it up
All I need is some liquor just to keep a nigga up, oh yeah

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money
Said I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money, oh

[Verse 2: French Montana]
I be gifted when I'm faded (Ha), faded all the time
Thought they loved me when I made it (Ha)
Niggas hated all the time, it's a dirty game
Try to find a bitch, maybe get married (Ha)
That's like pissin' in a freezer, trying to make canaries
Hawk vision, L.A. heels right on Puff Terrace
Making wishes, now I'm French kissing your bitch in Paris (Paris!)
Come and find me, Da Gianni's, that's from '92
Heard you spoil her ass when I bought her a number two
Dipping and you know it, I be pimpin' like I owe it
Come and find me now, I got an army with me now
Turn your brains oodles and noodles
For thinking you got a screw loose
I tighten you up, them coroners will button you up

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money
Said I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money, oh

[Verse 3: French Montana]
Ayy, Tony Montana on his last batch (Last batch)
This that Wayne Gretzky on his last scratch (Last scratch)
This that Derek Jeter on his last catch (Last catch)
This that Whitney Houston on her last track (Last track)
This that Tiger Woods on his last swing (Last swing)
This that Jimi Hendrix on his last string (Last string)
This that Larry Davis on his last bang (Last bang)
You can call me Hugh Hefner on his last fling

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money
Said, I'm gifted when I'm faded
I'm faded all the time
Because I know that's when they love me
They love me when I'm high
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money
When they love me, I get money, I get money, I get money, oh

Born Karim Kharbouch in Casablanca, Morocco, 1984, French Montana’s pursuit of the “American Dream” began in 1996 when he and his family emigrated to the Bronx, New York.

He began by selling ‘Cocaine City’ mixtapes and DVD’s with his mentor Max B, and eventually garnered the attention of major label executives, signing a deal with Akon’s Konvict Music Label. The deal fell through in 2011 due to album delays, and as a result, French signed a joint deal with Bad Boy and Maybach Music in late 2011 early 2012.

He is possibly one of the hardest working rappers of the past era, releasing over 23 bodies of work along with many features, chart-toppers, and production credits.
