Canada
Canada (
/ˈkænədə/) is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Spanning over 9,900,000 km2 (3,800,000 sq mi), Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, and its common border with the United States is the longest land border in the world.
The land that is now Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French colonial expeditions explored, and later settled, along the region's Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy; the Canada Act 1982 severed the vestiges of legal dependence on Britain.

Houston
Houston ( /ˈhjuːstən/) (Alibamu: Yosti ) is the largest city in the state of Texas, and the fourth-largest city in the United States. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the city had a population of 2.1 million people within an area of 656.3 square miles (1,700 km2). Houston is the seat of Harris County and the economic center of Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown, which is the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the United States, with 6.08 million people as of July 1st, 2011.
Houston was founded in 1836 on land near the banks of Buffalo Bayou. It was incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837, and named after then-President of the Republic of Texas—former General Sam Houston—who had commanded at the Battle of San Jacinto, which took place 25 miles (40 km) east of where the city was established. The burgeoning port and railroad industry, combined with oil discovery in 1901, has induced continual surges in the city's population. In the mid-twentieth century, Houston became the home of the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located.

Toronto
Toronto (/təˈrɒntoʊ/, colloquially /ˈtrɒnoʊ/) is the largest city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. A relatively modern city, Toronto's history dates back to the late-18th century, when its land was first purchased by the British monarchy from the Mississaugas of the New Credit. The settlement was later established as the Town of York and proclaimed as the new capital of Upper Canada by its lieutenant-governor, John Graves Simcoe. In 1834, York was incorporated as a city and renamed to its present name. The city was ransacked in the Battle of York during the War of 1812 and damaged in two great fires in 1849 and in 1904. Since its incorporation, Toronto has repeatedly expanded its borders through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities, most recently in 1998.
With over 2.6 million residents, it is the fifth most populous city in North America. Its metropolitan area has over 5.5 million residents. Toronto is at the heart of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and is part of a densely populated region in Southern Ontario known as the Golden Horseshoe, which has a population of nearly 9 million people as of 2011. The census metropolitan area (CMA) had a population of 5,583,064, and the Greater Toronto Area had a population of 6,054,191 in the 2011 Census. Its cosmopolitan and international population reflects its role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada. Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities by percentage of non-native-born residents, with about 49% of the population born outside Canada. Toronto is also consistently rated as one of the world's most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Mercer Quality of Living Survey.

Larry Graham
Larry Graham, Jr. (born August 14, 1946, Beaumont, Texas) is an American bass guitar player, both with the popular and influential psychedelic soul/funk band Sly and the Family Stone, and as the founder and frontman of Graham Central Station. He is credited with the invention of the slapping technique, which radically expanded the tonal palette of the bass, although he himself refers to the technique as "Thumpin' and Pluckin'."
Graham played bass in the highly successful and influential funk band Sly and the Family Stone from 1966 to 1972. It is said that he pioneered the art of slap-pop playing on the electric bass, in part to provide percussive and rhythmic elements in addition to the notes of the bass line when his mother's band lacked a drummer; the slap of the thumb being used to emulate a bass drum and the pop of the index or middle finger as a snare drum. This style has become archetypal of modern funk. Slap-pop playing couples a percussive thumb-slapping technique of the lower strings with an aggressive finger-snap of the higher strings, often in rhythmic alternation. The slap and pop technique incorporates a large ratio of muted or "dead" notes to normal notes, which adds to the rhythmic effect.

Mystikal
Michael Lawrence Tyler (born September 22, 1970), better known by his stage name Mystikal, is an American rapper, and actor from New Orleans. A Persian Gulf war veteran who rose to stardom as a protege of the rap impresario Master P, Tyler combined powerful, passionate vocals that would range from a conspiratorial whisper to vein-popping screams in the course of a few words, and was constantly accelerating and decelerating his delivery. The sound was new, but not unprecedented, as Tyler's vocals were reminiscent of R&B screamers like Little Richard and James Brown, using piano and saxophone sounds to accentuate the delivery.
Mystikal's debut album, Mystikal, was released on New Orleans-based independent record label Big Boy Records in 1994. He found himself in conflict with fellow New Orleans rappers signed to Cash Money Records including U.N.L.V., Lil Wayne and B.G.. They dissed him on tracks like "Drag 'Em in Tha River" by U.N.L.V. and "Fuck Big Boy" by The B.G.'z. He struck back with the diss "Beware" which was on his sophomore effort Mind of Mystikal. Mystikal's sister, Michelle Tyler (whom he had close ties with), sang the chorus on "Not That Nigga" and her fate became a major influence on Mystikal's music after her untimely death. The songs "Dedicated To Michelle Tyler", "Murderer", "Murder 2", "Shine" and "Murder III" on the Mind of Mystikal, Unpredictable and Let's Get Ready albums, respectively, refer to her murder.

Till I get to shake the hand of the man that’s blessin’
Yeah, I know these niggas miss the mean lyrics
Kush got the room smellin’ like teen spirit
I asked kindly if no-one out here would bring there

Until I lose for now I’m the game’s single leader
I fly private so no-one tells me to bring my seat up
And book a suite when me and your favorite singer meet
Who you like, tell me who it is
Imma make sure that that women is the next one on my

You swear you're the last thing on my mind, yeah
There is nothing I can do to fix it
All you ever asked me for was time
When the lights don't glow the same way that they use to
And I finally get a moment to myself
I will realize you were everything I'm missing
And you tell me you're in love with someone else
So can you do me a favor if I pull it together
Make it sooner than later, we won't be here forever
And I realize I waited to know
But please don't move on
You don't need no one else
You don't need no one else, oh
You don't need no one else
You don't need no one else, oh
You don't need no one else
You just changed your hair and it looks perfect
Wish I was the first to let you know
Every chance I get to make it better
I just find a way to let it go
When the lights don't glow the same way that they use to
And I finally get a moment to myself
I will realize you were everything I'm missing
And you tell me you're in love with someone else
So can you do me a favor if I pull it together
Make it sooner than later, we won't be here forever
And I realize I waited to know
But please don't move on
You don't need no one else
You don't need no one else, oh
You don't need no one else
You don't need no one else, oh
You don't need no one else
The girl or the world, you see someone gotta lose
I thought I could have it all, do I really gotta choose
What good is all the cash if it doesn't buy time
And what good is bein' famous if I'm never on your mind
Nights fallen, light glowing
And I'm just tryna pay the price owing
And I don't wanna feel the comfort from my ice showing
And I ain't tryna be without you at the right moments
Nigga, nice goin', is it worth it, that decision
'Cause hearts break and I ain't tryna be in that collision
So I'ma dust my shirt and fix my pants
'Cause I better look good, girl, if this my chance, I swear
So can you do me a favor if I pull it together
Make it sooner than later we won't be here forever
And I realize I waited to know
But please don't move on
You don't need no one else
You don't need no one else, oh
You don't need no one else
You don't need no one else, oh

Ive been up for 4 days
Getting money both ways
Dirty and clean, I could use a glass of cold spades
Rolexes, chauffeurs, and low fades
I keep thinking how young can you die from old age
The always tell me no one is working as hard as you
And even though I laugh it off man its probably true
Cuz while all of my closest friends out partying
Im just here making all the music that they party too
But party on, party on, all night n-gga
I got these new rappers nervous prom night n-gga
I grow tired of these f-cking grown man liars
Story tellers, they aint even need a camp fire
Uhh, but I just wanna tell the truth
Before one of these haters load a couple shells and shoot
This sh-t feel like when fredro star was a sunset park stunting hard in his yellow goose
Ya, and ima motherf-cking missed target
But a target none the less, and I just started
Was that directed at Moi?
Cant be, they must be talking to themselves Hov, hands free
Yeah, and im just filling up this daily planner
Getting busy cuz im a star, no spangled banner
Jealous dudes get to talking in their music
And I just say I wrote it for yo girlfriends Kelsey Grammar
Yah, that’s what life becomes when you doing you
Welcome to Hollywood don’t let this town ruin you
And if you pillow talking with the women that are screwing you
Just know that she gon tell another n-gga when she through with you
Don’t get impatient when it takes to long
And drink it all even when it taste too strong yeah
I gotta feel alive, even if it kills me
Promise to always give you me, the real me
[Chorus]
Who would have thought
I’d be caught in this life?
Let’s celebrate with a toast
And get lost in tonight
And make it all light up
(Hey, Guru, tell hom’ to go to open that Ace right there),
Wait until the sun goes down
We gon’ make this bitch light up
Even when the sun goes down
I’m gon’ make this go
[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
OWWWWWWW, Hov turning heads like OWELSSSSS
Im the man of the hour
Triple entendre don’t even ask me how
Con-Edison Flo I’m connected to a high power
Bright lights will make your whole city light up
A trillion watt light bulb when im in the night club
I just landed in that G-450, caught the mayweather fight cuz his satellite was crispy
Uhh, yall can miss me with the money talk
The smart moneys on Hov, f-ck what the dummys talk
I don’t do to much blogging, I just run the town, I don’t do to much jogging
I aint gotta scar yet, you f-cking round with me and my dogs is far fetched
Drake, heres how they gon come at you
With silly rap feuds trying to distract you
In disguise in the form of a favor
The Barzini meeting, watch for the traitors
Uhh, and ive seen it all done it all
That’s why none of these dum dums could done him off
The summers ours, the winter too
Top down in the winter, that’s what winners do
And to these n-ggas im like windows 7
You let em tell it they swear that they invented you
And since no good deed go unpunished
Im not as cool with n-ggas as I once was
I once was, cool as the fonz was,
but these bright lights turned me to a monster
Sorry mama im promised they wouldn’t change me,
but I woulda went insane, had i remain the same ME
F-ck nggas, bitches too
All I got is this money, this will do
[The DREAM:]
I wanna see whats under there. Baby
[DRAKE:]
Who's that peeking in my window? (UHHH)
You should let some more skin show?
And if one of these websites get the info
We can work it out, no Nintendo
I just hit Alt....Tab
Switchin' in-between two convos
I should just call cabs
And bring em both here to the condo (Yeah)
Normally, it ain't a question
We would cross paths like an intersection
But she just too far away for affection
So I pray that we never lose the connection
'Cause I remember Stacy, she probably hate me
She used to threaten she had a man to replace me
She talked that shit, I just hit the escape key
And then she'd get mad and want to go and erase me
I remember Amy, she used to AIM me
She stayed up late, and used to blame me
She say I'm too wild, she wanna tame me
I told her 'Even Photoshop couldn't change me?
But you-you-you You got me open, girl, why lie?
We ain't even tryin' to settle, so why try?
End the night with a kiss and a bye-bye
No strings attached your love is so WiFi
Girl girl girl girl girl girl
She's my digital girl girl girl girl girl girl girl
She's my digital girl
[Jamie]
My homies never see you but I always got you right here for me (yeah)
Tucked in my Louis computer bag
Wherever you are I could be
I type you a message full of X and O
You shoot me a video and then upload
Even though I hate this distance, it keeps me persistent
One day I'll have your ass up in this kitchen
My digital girl girl girl girl girl girl girl
She's my digital girl girl girl girl girl girl girl
My digital girl
[The Dream:]
Not a day goes by shawty
Without you on my mind shawty
Donna Karen underwear, baby
(I swear you have nothing to worry about.
It's easy look, lemme explain)
I wanna see what's under there, baby
[Kanye]
When you see the picture cut off your face
And cover up the tattoo by the waist
Let the MC search till I reach third base
And when I get home imma hit home plate
Wait, could this be considered our first date
'Ye the picture just looks so trash
Your body make a baller spend ca-cold cash
Plus every good girl wanna go bad
And Playboy mags like Stacy Dash
Or Kim Kardash and be a lady aaaat it
You know what's the crazy thing
Some girls?ll make you wait longer than AC green
Passion of the Christ, 33 year old virgin
That's disrespectful baby don't encourage him
I like them brown yellow Puerto Rican or Persian
Dashiki kimono or turban
They say I dress white but my swag so urban
Tryin' my look
I hit her with the text said baby you up
Question mark
And she respond yes-s-s-i-r??.R?..Hard?Hard
Girl girl girl girl girl girl girl
Oh she is my digital girl girl girl girl girl girl girl
My girl, my girl, my girl etc?
Dream, Drizzy, J Foxx And Yeazy
How do it feel to run the world?
[Drake Talking]
I don't even need a note pad for this one right here man.
Shut the lights off
Let the mind work ya know
I like to uh
I like to take the time to dedicate this to a special somebody
Guess I'll call her one of my most recent addition to my collection of female disappointments you know
[Verse 1:]
Deceiving you are the reason that
I don't believe in finding the love that I need and
I'm Uncle Phil I switch wifey like every season
So I guess that makes u Ant Viv
Until u take from me till the point that u can't give.
And when I see u out I pass by it's offensive
But what u expect tho
Kinda direct yo
Cuhz all that Dolce and Gabana shit was expensive
I told ya
Mr. Edwards I tried to save your daughter
But she wasn't satisfied with none of the things that I bought her
And wasn't tryna show up none of the places that I brought her
And couldn't utilize none of the things that I taught her
So I was just tryna upgrade you
I ain't ya understudy that tryna upstage you
I was ya other buddy that tried to front page you
Crown you
Get to know the people that surround you
Funny to think that I woulda white gowned you
Cuz Now we sit around the studio and clown you
Oops did I let that slip oh my bad did I let that slip
I can't forget that quick
[Hook:]
Deceiving (you you you you deceiving)
Deceiving (you you you you are so deceiving)
[Speaking]
let me see what im gonna say for the second one yeah i got it hold on uh
[Verse 2:]
Deceiving you are the reason that
When it gets cold in November seems like it's freezing
And I fit every stereotype that ya'll believe in
Cuhz when I say I'm serious you claim u only Teasin
I plan a trip to the tropics that you missed
So when I'm speakin you only in topic when I'm pissed
And in a couple of years i guarantee you'll be thirsty
And by then I'll be lookin like Tropicana twist twist
What up Tessa I love you like my own mama
And ya daughters getting grown mama
And me I'm just here workin waitin patient
For her to be ready to love and leave her drama
Cuhz I don't really wanna fight no more
And I don't wanna diss niggas when I write no more
And I don't wanna bring chicks to the crib
To watch a flick in the basement on the bed with dim lights no more
Now I'm losin a feeling
U losin appealing
U need to step it up like prints from shoes on the ceiling
Oh damn did I let that slip oh my fault did I let that slip
I can't forget that quick
[Hook:]
Deceiving (you you you you deceiving)
Deceiving (you you you you are so deceiving)
[Verse 3:]
My first reaction was damn girl
How did I swing you?
I wanted you forever now I'm something you cling to
But u was my angel, Seems like ya wings grew
Unaware you was outta state doin ya thing to
Sayin to my self u deceiving
You are the reason that I don't believe in finding the love that I need
And fact I know you always be lyin when u be leavin
Goin to visit family promise me u ain't cheatin
A sure thing just might fail you
Women often conduct themselves just like males do
They huddle in a group and joke about the fact that u a soft nigga
How u think cuddling with its cute
They laugh at how u think u last when u really don't
And make u think u get the ass when u really wont
And dudes do that and why these hoes stealin it
They doin the same shit with a better job at concealin it
So sign your name on a pre-nup and in initials
She only messin with a rapper if it's beneficial
Opps did I let that slip oh my bad did I let that slip
[Hook:]
Deceiving (you you you you deceiving)
Deceiving (you you you you are so deceiving)
[Drake: talking]
Feel like uh
I feel like we back man (yeah)
Slacker It's like See, see the problem with these other brothers is that they makin love songs
We makin beyond and above songs you know what I'm sayin
We sayin real stuff we not bitter its just its life you know
If ya'll females would pull it together
Maybe we would have something better to talk about
ha ha ha you know what it is man
[drake]
i'm the stinkin man, you don't get it do ya?
type of money everybody acting like they knew ya
go uptown, tennesee peaks to the smokey moutain creeks
tell uncle luke i'm out in miami too
clubbing hard, freak the' women ain't much to do
wrist blancpain, got a condo up in biscayne
still getting brain from a thang, ain't stuff changed
how you feel? how you feel? how you feel?
twenty five sittin' on 25 mil uhh
i'm in the building and i'm feeling myself
rest in peace mac dre, i'mma do it for the bay, okay
getting paid well holla wen ever that stop
my team good, we don't really need a mascot
[Drake - Chorus]
You could thank me now
Uh, go 'head
Thank Me Later yeah I know what I said
But later doesn't always come so instead
It's okay,
You could thank me now
Uh, yeah, well alright, here I go
[Verse 1 - Drake]
Mahalo from the hardest act to follow
Lately I've been drinkin' like there's a message in a bottle
Aloha's to women with no ties
To men that I know well
That way there are no lies
You could thank me now for all the info I give to you niggas
I'm on the brink of influential
I'm here for you niggas I guess a hit doesn't add up to a career
For you niggas
I must have been hard to watch,
What a year for you niggas
It's December 31st and we in Miami just meditatin'
You got your resolutions, we just got reservations
Livin' out a dream, it feels like I stayed up
And we just wanna party Pat Ron straight up
Fuck that old shit, I'm on new things
O.V.O. Clique, Red Wing Boot Gang
Yeah we want it all, half was never the agreement
Who'd thought the route we chose would ever end up this scenic
I could relate to kids goin' straight to the league
When they recognize that you got what it takes to succeed
And that's around the time that your idols become your rivals
You make friends with Mike but gotta A.I. him for your survival
Damn, I swear sports and music are so synonomous
'Cause we wanna be them and they wanna be us
Yeah, so on behalf of the demanded
And the entertainment that you take for granted
You could thank me now
And oh my goodness you're welcome
You're welcome
At this point me is who I'm tryin' to save myself from
Rappers hit me up and I never know what to tell them
'Cause they think that I can help them get back to where they fell from
But drink up 'cause everyone here is good tonight
Except the niggas that I came wit', they good for life
Yeah, that's how you know it's goin' down
In case another chance never comes around
[Chorus]
[Drake - Verse 2]
Uhh, shallow nigga but deep enough to have gone swimmin'
I think I'm spendin' all my time with the wrong women
I think I have a chance at love but knowin' me I miss it
'Cause me dedicatin' my time just isn't realistic
Man the good girls went silent on me
They got a boyfriend or left for college on me
And all the bad ones I used to hit are friends now
That make me wish I had a little less mileage on me
But do I ever come up in discussion over double pump lattes
And low fat muffins, do I?
Or is missing what we had outta the question
I'm probably just the reason that you learned your lesson
I got flows for the Marilyn Monroes who was there before it all
I guess that's how it goes
They hear about your cons or focus on your pros
And love you for who you are from the bottom of they soul
But those same ones from your area will grow
Into women that are ready to get married at hello
Because of what they allow
Where are they all now
I know there somewhere watchin' so I'm trying to make them proud
Searchin' for the meanin'
You'll find it next to me
And tell me I'm the hottest, guess we finally get to see
I'm feelin' like Nas, who am I to disagree?
They say that doors'll open up as soon as you find the missin' key
It's probably why I'm in this bitch shinin'
Jump up in the sky and put the stars into alignment
I rep the ATF in case you need to be reminded
And the bandwagon's full you can try and run behind it
I'm sorry, poolside drinkin'
Margarita rounds
Shout out to my city though I hardly be in town
I'm the "Black Sheep", but Chris Farley wears the crown
And I know life is just a game in which the cards are facin' down
I'm in the world where things are taken, never given
How long they choose to love you will never be your decision
And I'm aware this could be the last time you listen
So while I'm still in this postion
Please make your long story shorter
Time is of the essence for the king of third quarter
Numbers do the talking I have nothing for reporters
I just hope we make these flights
and don’t get held up at the border
Yeah, and you can spare me the accolades
I’m the only reason you can find my city on the Atlas page
Half a million dollars later and my tax is paid
and I’m still spending money from my acting days
Man, I swear life is such a lovely thing
feel the perks that a seven figure budget bring
Tell your girlfriend that I can pull some f-cking strings
so were courtside when Lebron get a f-cking ring
yeh I’ll bet I’ll be there, I’ll be there
You see that 62 sittin outside, that’s me there
leapin to the top, that’s my leap year, prepare
Puttin it in overtime, I never said it’d be fair
I’m always left wishing that I could of done it in person
My apologizes to all of the ones I was hurting
I got new girls, but none of they love is for certain
I call old girls, but none of they numbers are workin’
Damn, what happened to us?
Life can always change, you have to adjust
How come when I got a party, you stare at me in disgust
they pay us just to have fun, you should see that as a plus
Especially when I come flyin’ through the door
And kindly ignore
The paparazzi outside trying to record
Why has every woman never dined here before?
Am I the only twenty-three-year-old wine connoisseur?
It’s always nice when you’re out with someone that notices
My condo got that art gallery openess
I’m just really hoping it isn’t what your motive is
They aint rooting for me
They aint clapping for me
I’m only saying can somebody just be happy for me
I really hate to say I told you so
So I bite my tongue..
Yesterday when we were getting high
You were invited, you woulda liked it
Uh, uh, nah, I know you all too well
We said that we can kiss the past goodbye
But your weren't excited, there's no way to fight it
You can stay but shawty, here I go
Should I spend the weekend in Vegas?
I'm living inside the moment, not taking pictures to save it
I mean how could I forget, my memories never faded
I can't relate to these haters, my enemies never made it
I am still here with who I started with
The game needed life, I put my heart in it
I blew myself up, I'm on some martyr shit
Carried the weight for my city like a cargo ship
I'm 23 with a money tree
Growing more too, I just planted a 100 seeds
It's ironic 'cause my mother was a florist
And that's how she met my pops and now my garden is enormous
It's happening Penny Lane, just like you said
I avoided the Coke game and went with Sprite instead
That's word to the millions that they putting up
I'm trying to do better than good enough
What am I afraid of?
This is supposed to be what dreams are made of
The people I don't have time to hang with
Always look at me and say the same shit, they say
You promised me you would never change
Oh, huh, huh, oh, huh, huh, oh, huh, huh
You promised me you would never change
Oh, huh, huh, oh, huh, huh
Am I wrong for making light of my situation?
Clap on, when 40 got something for me to snap on
Now that I'm on, I don't wanna worry about getting back on
I'm just trying to stay on, get my fucking buffett on
I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home
And I'll be acting like I don't know how to work a phone
But hit redial you'll see that I just called some chick I met at the mall
That I barely know at all and
Plus this woman that I mess with unprotected
Text us, saying she wish she woulda kept it
The one that I'm laying next to just looked over and read it
Man, I couldn't tell you where the fuck my head is
I'm holding on by a thread
It's like I'm high right now, the guy right now
And you can tell by looking in my eyes right now
That nothing really comes as a surprise right now
'Cause we having the time of our lives right now
What am I afraid of?
This is supposed to be what dreams are made of
The people I don't have time to hang with
Always look at me and say the same shit, they say
You promised me you would never change
Oh, huh, huh, oh, huh, huh, oh, huh, huh
You promised me you would never change
Oh, huh, huh, oh, huh, huh
I live by some advice this girl, Lisa told me
The other day Lisa told me that she missed the old me
Which made me question when I went missing
And when I start treating my friends different
Maybe it was the fast pace switch up
Or the 2 guns in my face during the stick up
Maybe 'cause the girl I thought I trusted
Was who set the whole shit up
But a fact I haven't seen 'em since they locked big rich up
I know, the same time, I'm quick to forget
'Bout to roll me a blunt with my list of regrets
Burn it all, burn it all, I'm starting it fresh
'Cause half the time I got it right I probably guessed
Did I just trade free time for camera time?
Will I blow all of this money? Baby, hammer time
Yeah, I just need some closure, ain't no turning back for me
[Drake]
Listen girl, you so bad and you single
What's this I hear, we aint met yet
My name Drake and I'ma take the world over, this my year
This I swear, had my share of women that I been with
I'm young, can you blame me
I know you feel like a lot of things off limits
At least let me describe what it can be
Be faithful, I do that, not really baby girl
I'll do that
Cause everybody break up when the cake up
We can be the couple that'll never go through that
Yeah and if we're ever falling off
I swear I'll remind you that we're not who they are
Now all I really gotta do is find you
Where you at?
[Chris Brown - Chorus]
From the east to the west, scream for me if your my number one lady
Take a lead in the race you can go fast speed it up for me baby
I'ma a G, what's next? One night with me would drive you crazy (crazy)
One night with me would drive you crazy.
Starters are you ready, take your marks and get steady
You know that it's about to get heavy
Cause she's a rider (a rider)
My Yamaha mama x4
Aye aye
[Drake - Verse 2]
Tell me how I locate you
I know satellites are a breakthrough
But they don't really lead me straight to
And I gotta arrive 'fore somebody take you
Know there's someone you don't mean a lot to
And you would hate to know that I got you
I even got a speech in my head that write
And recite at the moment I spot you
Hey there, your name is?
I like that, it suits ya
I'm young but I'm different
I'm not what your used to at all
If we stop at the same red light
I'ma celebrate the fact that I found you girl
And I'ma ride for ya too as soon as it turn green
Wanna hear from all my ladies from around the world
Where you at?
[Verse 1: drake]
I have to watch the road
I swear that every car that passes has you in it
I can't believe we're finished
My life is movin' fast
The time will often pass
And something will remind me
I can't put this behind me
I thought you would've called by now, by now
You could've had my all by now, by now
It's been too many years for you to disappear
And have me asking the question
[Hook]
I wonder whatever became of you
Although, it's not that I'm surprised, it's not I didn't try
It's not that I was frightened, of you
Although, I said all goodbyes
And, you had all your cries
I wonder whatever became of you
I wonder whatever became of you
I wonder whatever became of you
[Verse 2: dawn richard]
I swear I heard you call
But when I heard you'd gone
I hate that I looked desperate
You gone is like me naked
I'm staring at your (?)
Trying to make it last
Keep looking close behind me
My eyesight on a memory
I thought you would've called by now, by now
You could have all my love right now, by now
Gave into my fears
While you just disappeared
That's why I'm asking this question...
[Hook]
I wonder whatever became of you
Although, it's not that I'm surprised, it's not I didn't try
It's not that I was frightened, of you
Although, I said all goodbyes
And, you had all your cries
I wonder whatever became of you
I wonder whatever became of you
I wonder whatever became of you
[Verse 3: drake]
I can't go to bed
Thinking about my goals
And how we used to say a goal is just a dream with a deadline
Where did the other half of my heart go?
Why am I in bed alone?
How come when I drive by, it looks like you are never home?
Do you even live there?
Or did you take a u-haul?
Too far, move off and not even tell me that you're gone?
We were on fire
Somehow that fire cooled off, burnt out
I kept straight, but I wonder how you turned out
[Hook]
I wonder whatever became of you
Although, it's not that I'm surprised, it's not I didn't try
It's not that I was frightened, of you
Although, I said all goodbyes
And, you had all your cries
I wonder whatever became of you
I wonder whatever became of you
Ok there comes a time when you gotta be like
You know I've come this far on my own
Done a lot for myself
Where to now Ya know
But I just tell myself this one thing
It was worth it it was all worth it
And by this time I understand that I ain't perfect
There ain't a pair of Louis shoes I ain't purchased
And I was on some shit but they served they purpose
And I got verses I got verses
My 16's should be arriving in hearses
They get bodied You see how I murk this
I switch flows much as my girl switch purses
Yeah heartbreak Drake I'll put it on your wife
If I put it in a verse then I put it on my life
Liquor that's over ice and denim that's over priced
And tryna make all my goals for the future come over night
Got got got got damn how time soars
I'm tryna get that house in Toronto with pine floors
Come over watch a season of Flight of the Concords
And I try to put some lotion all over your contours
But uh tell me you surfin let me know you on board
You can't seal up the bottle once all of the dimes poured
Yes I swear to God girl I put it on Lord
I'm tryna show you life through the tint on these Tom Ford's
Ethiopian girl Ethiopian girl with yo long curly hair and yo big ass bootay
Reading all them pro black pro female books
Just let em let em know that you ain't no groupie
You need a prescription a vision correction
I'm young and successful I'm living perfection
And man if 09 is when I'm a see mine
[Drake]
People around you should really have nothing to say
Me I'm just proud of the fact that you've done it your way
And the weekends here started it right
Even if you only get part of it right
Live for today, plan for tomarrow
Party tonight party tonight

You got that shit that somebody would look for but wont find

But I wont know what makes her different
Or should I just be realistic
Lipstick on the glashy

[Drake]
You musta done this before this can't be your first time
We musta been here before it's still fresh on my mind
You got that shit that somebody would look for but wont find
You musta done this before this can't be your first time
[Verse 1]
Before I switched lanes for your ex and
I really wanna know where your head is
I just try to keep my eye on the road
But im moving closer and im waiting for the text that
Says you was hoping it would say that
Saying hit that redbox on the way babe
And grab a bottle of moscado
Cuz your pretty little body gotta miss these arms
So girl im patient
Oh baby don’t keep me waiting
This is my version of im sorry
Cuz these last few nights aint been so warm
So lets not fight and say we did
I just wanna remind you
What I know you miss, I know you miss
[Chours]
You say that breaking up
Is only good for making up
So baby what we waitin for
What we waitin for
What we waitin for yeah
You say that making up
Is better when you making love
So baby what we waitin for
What we waitin for
What we waitin for yeah
[Verse 2]
And so im here
Rollin in a whip reminiscing
You know im thinking bout your purple kisses girl
Im just tryna keep this car on the road
And girl I almost died driving
Thinking bout the way you taste
So im hoping that you text back
And if you never do then ill accept that
But im only human and im growing
And I really didn’t notice
That I broke your heart
So girl im patient
Oh baby don’t keep me waitin
Because the road is kinda lonely
When you act like you don’t know me
Baby please come on
So lets not fight and say we did

You say that making up
Is better when you making love
So baby what we waitin for

[Verse 3]
Ima keep it real

We lost it all when I took my hands off the wheel
Yeah girl im missing you forreal
But we could put it back on track
Because my baby’s ride or die
So ima ride too
And if you ever cry
Then girl I got you
Cuz I don’t wanna fight

Girl we gotta get used to the future
And over the past
Cuz right now, right now
Everybody say
[Chorus]
You say that breaking up

You say that making up
Is better when you making love
So baby what we waitin for

What if I kissed you right now

trying to imagine how it might sound
if I just yelled out
What if I kissed you right now
would it bring us any closer
take the weight off our shoulders

[Verse 1]
Yeah, never thoughts of suicide I'm too alive
But I still treat it likes it's do or die
Even though dying isn't in the plans, but neither was making it and here I am
In the presidential do you like your new room?
Always presidential and tonight's no blue moon
Since I saw Aaliyah's precious life go too soon, she deserve the credit for
How I'm about to get it
That's why I got a new dumb thing moving through the street
Got a new condo, move it to the beach
Heard Nicki just bought a brand new crib
Goddamn man she's beauty and the beast (Lord)
Seems like yesterday that I was up and coming
Still so young that I ain't had enough of nothing
The fam here, the drink here, the girls here?
Well fuck let's get it then
[Hook]
I'm trying to let go of the past. Should we make this one a double?
Ye ain't even gotta ask Ahh
Because it's hard to say no. (say no)
Yeah it's hard to say no
Are you down? Are you down? Yeah you all the way down, everytime
Am I down? Am I down? Yea I'm all the way down. We'll be fine
Are you down Are you down yeah you all the way down, everytime
Am I down Am I down? Yea I'm all the way down we'll be fine
[Verse 2]
Used to make us proud we had dreams of getting bigger man
Loved you until now, but now I'm the Nigga man
You keep talking that "You was this and you had this and you deserve some
Fucking credit how did anyone forget it."
Got a show up in your city, yo girl is in the line and the line around the
Corner it's my motherfucking time
You should take it as a sign, man I got it right now. I wouldn't doubt it
Because these bitches all about it right now
Let's be real about this shit, can I take you home? Or come to where you
Stay?
Do you live on your own? I heard you got your ways, I never would have
Known. She said "your such a dog" I said "your such a bone."
I've been everywhere, where you know me from?
These days women give it to me like they owe me one
But they crave attention though they always saying "Show me something."
But girl you ain't the only one that's trying to be the only one
At least I admit that, if you get that, and you with that
Then fuck let's get it then
[Hook]
I'm trying to let go of the past. Should we make this one a double? You
Ain't even gotta ask. Ahh
Because it's hard to say no. (say no)
Yeah it's hard to say no
Are you down? Are you down? Yeah you all the way down, everytime
Am I down? Am I down? Yea I'm all the way down. We'll be fine
Are you down Are you down yeah you all the way down, everytime
Am I down Am I down? Yea I'm all the way down we'll be fine

And when they call you the answer you are hardly question
I, I'm doin' classic shit in all my sessions

That's why I never follow y'all suggestions

Damn, where I get it from? These niggas always wondered who
Then they meet my pop and tell 'em, "Drake is just a younger you"
And shawty wanna party so don't let ya girl up out the house
Or there'll be shots on TMZ of me givin' her mouth to mouth
Now she's famous and the paparazzi starts to shoot her

I don't ever play but I'm in the game, lady
They just loose to love, those are tennis games, lady
Have you countin' money goin' duffel bag crazy
Sippin' on Pink Floyd and puffin' Wayne Brady
Damn, whose line is it anyway?
I'm in a daze, you been amazed
Y'all seem to be stuck on that beginner stage

You could run and tell my city it's on
Bun B, king of the trill also one of the dopest
Rep for the streets or on the mic, I'm dope and yes, I'm focused
The gangsta recognize me for my locc'ness
No joke, it's time to shake these haters off like the skin on a locust
Or maybe like a py-thon, that's the type of shit I'm on
I wrote this on my i-phone so let me drop this i-bomb
I-palm the game like it's a spalding ball and take flight
From the free throw line and slam it down like I'm the great mike
Bun and Wayne and Drake in here, Mayne, it's gon' be a great night
Look at all these posers bite, I swagger like a great white
Try to cross me over, I just fake left then I break right
Stupid animal tricks like David Lettermans late night
This that major moment you been waitin' on too long
The best that ever did it and doin' it on a new song
UGK and Young Money too strong
Bound to be in the green like a crouton, so what the fuck is you on?
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
You could run and tell ya friends that I'm on

You could run and tell my city it's on

'Cause I got that swag boy, the swag you never had boy
Hate and I will leave your chest the color my flag boy

[Verse 1] Drizzy
My name is Drizzy
And I ain't perfect
But I work hard
so i deserve it
and i belong right where you see me
i ain't on the fence about it
i ain't Mr. Feeny
Naw, i got a decent set of manners
and a job that fills up any empty schedule or planner
and i fall in love with girls caught up in superficial glamour
who dress like Sarah Jessica and
live like Princess Diana
So often they have addictions and
I'm no one that'll feed it
But truly you're bad enough
that you don't even really need it
You can show up at the party on dirty public transit
and i guarantee the camera man will still be snappin
candids of you and yo posse partying
drinking watch you get handed
with your virgin island tans
all lookin like you just landed
i dont really understand it
im not sure im comprehending it
but these girls are having fun with
whoevers money they spending screaming
[Chorus 2x]
I got to be unstoppable
I got to be unstoppable
Ey,ey,ey,ey
You don't lie
Ey,ey,ey,ey
You don't lie
[Verse 2] Weezy F. Baby
My name is Weezy
I'm almost perfect
and i work harder than hardworking bizarre circus
that's when my bars surface
therefore, i act a clown
even when i'm laying on my back,
im never backing down
so overstand me
i gotta condo in Miami and
my doormat is always sandy
And i run Louisiana
but i've never pull a hammy
and i gotta condo in Atlanta
and i always wear a bandana
and when it comes down to stuntin you boys
is just buntin
i'm swinging from the fence
yo girl hanging from my dick
yo girl singing to my shit
like a la,la,lollipop
she say i get that pussy wetter than a dasani shop
she say i beat that pussy better
better than her gynecologist
hoe just text me
everybody want some mo dick mo dick
old bitch
young bitch
but ill be like damnnnn
all i got is one dick
[Chorus 2x]
[Bridge] Santogold
I got the talk
The beats and bass
Give me one I'll take it
Make you lose your place,
Tell me I-I-I can play
So I speed up the pace
I break it break it you can't stop me
In this ra-race
Let me know, let me know
Ohhhhh, let me know, let me know
Let me know
[Verse 1 - Drake]
Uh, yeah
This is really one of my dumbest flows ever
I haven't slept in days
And me and my latest girl agreed to go our separate ways
So I'm single
Thinking about what we had and missing you
But I ain't Santa, I got something for these bad bitches too
I mean paparazzi on me trying not to get caught out
They always seem to catch me with the woman that I brought out
Baby don't hold on too long 'cause that's how them stories start out
And all the girls that played me eat your muthafucking heart out
It's Drizzy
Always gone but never hard to find
And since you can't escape me, do I ever cross your mind?
Because all this shit is new to me, I'm learning to behave
And still spending every dollar they encourage me to save
But I'm good
I know that niggas would kill for this lifestyle
I'm looking forward to the memories of right now
Never forgetting from where I came
And no matter where I'm headed
I promise to stay the same
[Chorus - Young Jeezy]
I'm just riding 'round the city with my hood on and my windows down
Ask your girl I'm the realest nigga she been around
I pull up in something new and park it by the haters
And when you get to talking 'bout the greatest
[Chorus - (Young Jeezy), Drake]
(I just really hope that)
You'll think of me
(I just really hope that)
You'll think of me
(I just really hope that)
You'll think of me
(I'm doin my thing 3x)
'Cause I'm tryna be unforgettable...
[Verse 2 - Young Jeezy]
This just might be my realest flow ever
When I say fo' life, y'all say fo'ever
It's hard but it's fair I told that girl life hurts
The closest you gon' get to this is a Pac T-shirt
The names Young, baby you know I live that thug life
The good die young so I'm gon' need a thug wife
Yeah, I'm talking his and her firearms
Know our jewelry probably louder than a car alarm
Yeah, I remember I used to have to sneak the car
Now my insides looking like a Snickers bar
Yeah, I'm talking caramel leathers
Damn right, so fly I need feathers
You say you sit in them streets, so what's the deal?
Young done everything in the A but fuck chillin'
So welcome to my life no two days the same
Like for y'all to meet the love of my life, her names the game
[Chorus]
[Outro - Young Jeezy]
Got my top dropped on this beautiful night
This beautiful night to live my beautiful life
The pain hurts like a cut from a beautiful knife
Just know she right here on my hip, my beautiful wife
Yeah, just when we got a little breath
Unforgettable, ya never forget this
You understand me?
[Trey Songz]
How about we just pull over and do it where we at?
How about you just pull your skirt up..
We could be bad

So you can come to my city
I take it all over, and hit you on the balcony
Please don’t fall over!
Send me your pictures, baby, you know I’d never leak it
I know you got something recent for someone decent
Why you laughing out loud? I’m serious!
Bring your girl if you a little bi-curious
Please don’t start telling the others

Might feel like I expected all the things you
Expected. You gonna know it when you bring your ass
To me
[Trey Songz]

I could give you more than the usual, the usual
When we touch, you gonna feel something unusual..

Yeah Man (Aye)
You already know what it is (Aye)
Trey called Trigga (Aye)
Aye man (Aye)
Show them why you rappin homie (Aye)

[Chorus]
I aint never been nothin but a underdog
And I aint gonna neva let a nigga hold me under dog
Still ride in the drop
With my mind on the knot
You niggas never take what I got
For my underdog
Just copped new shoes
Whip on two twos
Dick down you two
Throw it on youtube
Tell me what youd do
If I was to do you
Baby after one time
Sure to make you come back
Back like spinal
Stack like dominoes
Catch me out in Mexico
Hasta Manana though
Hasta la vista
Chest full of reefer
Rep for my set till the day I meet the reaper
Petersburg veteran
USA resident
In USA Today it aint a city I aint never been
Scared I aint never been
Yea I aint never been
Nothing but a underdog
But I'm never under yall
Still keep it under there
Right by the underwears
Still in the hood yeah
I aint talking outer wear
They be moving powder there
Which one of you out of there
Wanna get it
Cuz I'm with it
f**k yall the underdog
[Chorus x1]
Said I got my city buzzin
You should take a trip and view it
Shout out to Mr.Rogers
Cuz he's supposed to chop and screw it
And my liscense just expired
So I got to go renew it
Cuz I just bought a truck
And I am dying to debut it
And naw it aint a Buick
I never redezvous it
I'm just in the 'Burg with Trigga
And I'm faded off the fluid
I made alot of money
Then I went ahead and blew it
Now I'm trying to make it back
So how the f**k you want to do it
My nigga you better do it(Aye)...do it
I say this here's a practice song
And lately I been out in Hollywood
Just acting wrong
What up to Jackie Long
I f**k with Jackie Long
I clown other dudes on the low
I like to laugh alone
I get my cash alone
That's why I shop alone
This here's my uncle's car
I drive it and the top is gone
Your skin looks like you bathe in magnesia
And coppertone
And girl I heard your man's a fed
Don't bring that cop along
I'm running every single light
Aint one I'm stopping on
This here's a classic jump
That big things are popping on
So baby wipe me down
I sell a watch and swap a home
I'm in this solo
No I do not have a chaperone
I'm in a proper zone
That's right the doctor's home
This here's my time
And I don't even think your clock is on
I am a trader
And I'm telling you my stock is grown
I run my city
Got it mobile like the lock is gone
Keys out
I aint talking white though
Baby what you be's bout
I mean for tonight ho
If I break them trees out
Pull them Double D's out
So I can J Holiday that ass
Before I leave's out
Holla at me shawty
[1st Verse]
Bridge over troubled water,
Ice in my muddy water
Rich off a mixtape, got rich off a mixtape
Probably shouldn't be driving, it just got so much harder
Can't even see straight, I can't even see straight
F-ck with me, I buy the shots
Live a little, cause niggas die a lot, and lie a lot
But I'm the truth that's right I f-cking said it
The living proof that you don't gotta die to get to heaven
You Girl, you right there, you look like you like this shit
How'd I know, how'd I know? Thats me on some psychic shit
I can tell a lie you ask me about my where about
But I might talk that real if you ask me what I care about
Reppin' bitches, reppin' bitches bitches
And reppin' reppin' them bitches until all of us switches
I swear, it's been two years since somebody ask me who I was
I'm the greatest man I said that before I knew I was
That's whats important and what happened before this
When me and my crew as all about this rapper from New Orleans
Singing "walking like a man, finger on the trigger
I got money in my pocket, I'm a uptown nigga, ah"
With fame on my mind, my girl on my nerves
I was pushing myself to get something I deserve
That was back in the days, Acura days
I was a cold dude, I'm getting back to my ways
[Hook]
People always ask how I got my nice things
Take my crown to the grave, I'm an underground king
I bet we can make tonight the greatest story ever told
Cause I'm down to spend whatever, lately I've been on a roll
And I do it for the city, cause you know the city love it
Nigga, do it for the city, cause you know the city love it
Nigga, do it for the city, cause you know the city love it
Nigga, do it for the city, (UGK f-ck these other niggas)
[2nd Verse]
Sometimes I need that romance, sometimes I need that pole dance
Sometimes I need that stripper that's gon' tell me that she don't dance
Tell me lies, make it sound good, make it sound good
Do me like the women from my town would
Leather with that woodgrain, Persian rugs on wood floors
Talking all the good things, that's all I'm really good for
Memphis Tennessee no, see I start to go deep back
And rich crust with my seat back with Yo Gotti and E-Mack
And these niggas got them diamonds glowing in they mouth
And they rockin' furs like its snowing in the south
And every pretty girl tell me that's the shit that she like
So why am I in class, if this is who I'm trying to be like
So I drop out, lessons I was taught are quick to fade
As soon I realize that term-end papers they won't get me paid
If I don't nothing I'mma ball
I'm countin' all day like a clock on the wall
Yeah need that, making major changes to the life I'm living
I had no choice, I had to prove I made the right decisions
That was back in the days, Acura days
I was a cold dude, I'm getting back to my ways
[Hook]
People always ask how I got my nice things
Take my crown to the grave, I'm an underground king
I bet we can make tonight the greatest story ever told
Cause I'm down to spend whatever, lately I've been on a roll
And I do it for the city, cause you know the city love it
Nigga, do it for the city, cause you know the city love it
Nigga, do it for the city, cause you know the city love it
[Drake - Chorus]
All I care about is money and the city that I'm from
I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it till it's done
And I don't really give a f-ck, and my excuse is that I'm young
And I'm only getting older somebody shoulda told ya
I'm on one
Yeah, f-ck it, I'm on one
Yeah, I said I'm on one
F-ck it, I'm on one
A strong one
Two white cups and I got that drink
It could be purple, it could be pink
Depending on how you mix that shit
Money that we got, never get that shit
Cause I'm on one

They might, they might catch me slippin' and put in something different

Lets call up on drinkin, lets all get wasted
On drinkin', lets all get faded
Drizzy Drake, check me out
Coming live from the the muthaf-cking north side
Kick game, run game, run it real good
But never ever have my bitches sittin' courtside
Same nigga that you knew way back when
You actin' like it's somebody you don't know
Tell me how the f-ck we supposed to stay friends
When you got a bunch of feelings that you don't show
I can tell, I can tell, I can tell certain people don't like me no more
New shit don't excite me no more
Guess they don't really make 'em like me no more
Uh, you can look me in my eyes and see I ain't myself
Cause if I was what y'all created then I'd hate myself
But still, let them girls in,
And tell em all leave their cell phones on the table where we see 'em
I'm all day with it man, AM to the PM
Niggas hatin', I just wish they would say it when I see em all
That's that shit that drives me crazy
And it's all that I've been gettin' lately
And it's probably why I'm scared to put the time in
Women wanna f-ck like their me and I'm them
Looking for some things and I think I can find it in you, in you
Oh ooooh, trust issues
Oh ooooh, trust issues
Oh ooooh, trust issues
Oh oooo oooo oooo ooh
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Lets call up on drinkin, lets all get wasted
On drinkin', lets all get faded

[Verse 1]
I�m performin' tonight you know that shit gon' be packed
Pay me in advance and make sure that it�s exact
My ex girl�ll probably show up for the simple fact
That tomorrow she can tell all of her friends it was whack
But fuck that though, this about me
They say my whole fan base is missing I.D.
But the young trend setting musician I be
Got critics giving up the recognition I de-serve
Never bring yo' misses By me I�m it I�m it call me Mr. I.T.
If I get one wish I'ma wish to die free
They say gon' head, ball like Mrs. Ivory, And I do
The realest in my age group, no shit
SoHo, Cosmo, Bah Mar blow fish?
Let's make a toast, tell yo' friends come closer
Drinks on me like a coaster
[Chorus]
We doin' it big
Look at what I done
Look at where I�m is
It�s only just begun
'Cause I was staying home
When they was having fun
So please don�t be surprised when they announce that I won
And this is how my speech goes
I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit
That�s all I got to say, at the top is where I stay
And tell my haters never go away
The Winner
[Verse 2]
Long awaited, hated
Fans see me out and they holla happy belated
It�s about time that you made it
I was bumping yo' songs when nobody else played it
When I was up in Hot Beat in Atlanta steady giving daps
Fetching niggas drinks but I never got to rap
If anybody asked though I prolly woulda snapped
But I can�t sign nothing 'til my lawyer get the fax and
No one decides who the definition of talent is
And Mrs. Murry look at what my talent did
And what yo' business is
It's been a couple years
Guess it�s not about who you know, it�s just how you balance it
It�s always awkward to dummy a nigga artist
And get on someone song when you know you comin' the hardest
It's how you start actin' when nobody can reach ya
My plan just hatched, happy Easter
[Chorus]
I�m doin' it big
Look at what I done
Look at where I�m is
It�s only just begun
'Cause I was staying home
When they was having fun
So please don�t be surprised when they announce that I won
And this is how my speech goes
I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit
That�s all I got to say
At the top is where I stay
And tell my haters never go away
The Winner
[Verse 3]
Uhh, ok I do it for the love
Bunk bed flow, always one level above
If I�m in ya starting five you will never need a sub
And I�m neva looking down so I always know wassup.
A lot of people sayin' fuck me
Problem is they be telling everybody but me
But I always got a Starbucks verse
Being brewed too hot please please double cup me
They never gave me support like Chuck T�s
And I never trust a nigga sayin' trust me
Nick Cannon and Will neva did it this ill
So you tell don�t you dare interrupt me
Thanks to my mother for never giving up
You deserve the world, now gon' live it up
Thanks to uncle Steve my hero who always saved us
I could never give back everything you gave us
[Bridge]
And to my dad even though we was apart
I couldn�t leave you out, you forever in my heart
Yeah, and in the name of Evelyn Cher
I�ll forever forgive anybody that never was there
For me, no other woman could ever compare
My angel I hope Heaven�s prepared for whenever you there
[Verse 4]
Uhh, I got a revolutionary flow in every scenario coming through ya Stereo
Got a new chick, booty round like the merry go
Bitches like where he at, they be like there he go
And this verse deserve a burial
Don�t cry for me this ain�t mothafucking Mario
Yeah, and Polow isn�t at my session
It�s the anticipation keeping everybody guessing like
[Chorus]
Look at what I done
Look at where I�m is
It�s only just begun
'Cause I was staying home
When they was having fun
So please don�t be surprised when they announce that I won
And this is how my speech goes
I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit
That�s all I got to say
At the top is where I stay
[intro]
i hate when people say they feel me man, i hate that shit.
it'll be a long time before yall feel me, if ever
[verse 1]
you won't feel me til everybody say they love you, but it's not love
and your suit is oxblood and your girl f-ckin' hates you and your friends faded off shots of
what you ordered than forget about the game you on top of
your famous girlfriend ass gettin' thicker than the plot does
and when you forget it, thats when she pop up
and you got a drop but you ride around with the top up
i get 3 suv's for niggas dressed like refugees
and deal with the questions about all your excessive needs
and you do dinners at french laundry and napa valley
scallops and glasses of dolce, that shit right up your alley
you see a girl and you ask about her
bitches smiling at ya, it must be happy hour
they put the cloth across your lap soon as you sat down
it's feeling like you own every place you choosing to be at now
walking through airport security with your hat down
'stead of gettin' a pat down, they just keep on saying that they feel ya nigga
yeah,
it's been too long
been way too long
[hook - the weeknd]
i'm faded too long, oooh
still i'm faded too long, ooooh
still i've been faded too long
i feel like i'm faded too long
the ride
[drake - verse 2]
you wont feel me til you want it so bad you tell yourself you're in it
and tell the world around you that your paper work is finished
and steal your mothers debit cards so you maintain an image
and ride around in overpriced rental cars that aint tinted
you need a minute, you got it
you know its real when your latest nights are your greatest nights
the sun is up when you get home, thats just a way of life
apartment 1503, some couches and paintings
when you record with 2 others that want the same things
yeah, it start to feel better than home feels
and so you up there every night you swear you getting close
that champagne money was for gas and phone bills
but shit you bout to spend it on what matters most
you drop a couple songs and hopes that you can beat a nigga
and come out every night to let the city see the nigga
telling stories that nobody relate to
and even though they hate you they just keep on telling you they feel ya nigga
[hook - the weeknd]
[drake - verse 3]
i haven't been inside terminal 1 and 3 in so long
i'm driving right up to it now, make sure you got your coat on
that runway can be cold especially after summers rolled on
and all you knew is alcohol and city lights and slow songs
performance out the years, got you asking whats good at home
whats good at home?
the same hoes are still at it, i shoulda known
my young niggas poppin' m's and sippin' dirty jones
problem children that all be reppin' octobers own
brand new girl, and she still growing
brand new titties, stitches still showing
yeah and she just praying that the heals good
i'm bout to f-ck and i'm just praying that it feels good
i really don't know much but shit i know a secret
they say more money more problems, my nigga don't believe it
i mean sure there's some bills and taxes i'm still evading
but i blew 6 million on my self and i feel amazing
young money maker, season ticket holder
season switching over
i come through them bitches still scorching as if i didn't notice
you niggas gettin' older, i see no threat in yoda
i'm out here messing over the lives of these niggas
that couldn't f-ck with my freshman flow
look at that f-cking chip on your nephews shoulder
my sophomore they was all for it, they all saw it
my juniors and senior will only get meaner
take care nigga

[Rihanna]
I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself.
If you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take, I'll take)
I've loved and I've lost.
[Drake: verse 1]
I've asked about you and they've told me things
but my mind didn't change
I still the feel the same
what's a life with no fun, please don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours we both know, we know.
They don't get you like I will
my only wish is I die real
cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal
and you can't sleep thinking that he lies still
so you cry still, tears all in the pillow case,
big girls all get a little taste
pushing me away so I give her space
dealing with a heart that I didn't break.
I'll be there for you, I will care for you
I keep thinking you, just don't know
try to run from that, say you're done with that
on your face girl, it just don't show.
When you're ready, just say you're ready
when all the baggage just ain't as heavy
and the parties over, just don't forget me
we'll change the pace and we'll just go slow.
You won't ever have to worry,
you won't ever have to hide,
you've seen all my mistakes,
so look me in my eyes.
[Rihanna]
'Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take, I'll take)
I've loved and i've lost.
[Drake: verse 2]
It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to
can't deny that I want you, but I'll lie if have to
cause you don't say you love me
to your friends when they ask you
even though we both know that you do (you do).
One time, been in love one time
you and all your girls in the club one time
all so convinced that you're following your heart
cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes.
We all have our nights though, don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know.
You hate being alone
you ain't the only one
you hate the fact that you bought the dream
and they sold you one
you love your friends but somebody shoulda told you somin',
to save you, instead he said;
don't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
tell me a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
I don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
If you're hurt a-ha-ha-ha-ha.
I won't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
tell you a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
you don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
if you're true a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
don't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
tell me a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
I don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
If you're hurt a-ha-ha-ha-ha.
I won't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
tell you a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
you don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
if you're true a-ha-ha-ha-ha,
[Rihanna]
I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
if you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take, I'll take)
[Drake Talking]:
Yeah
Right
Ahhhhhh
Aiight
I'm bout to do my thing
You ready?
Here I go!
October's very own
Drizzy
Taz You aint even got nothin to worry about man
Check
Yeah
[Verse 1]:
Are you listening?
Is anybody listening?
Walk into a room and you can smell the Clive
Cristianson.
Alot of niggas is threatned by my positioning
Thrillin bars you think I'm writing with John Ghrisam
pen.
I need Rose, nevermind the pricing
Know we brought cake to the party, no icing
No ice on, big Phantom no license
Fuck if you're feelin me as long as your wife is
No one in my city gotta pocket like Drizzy
I can rock fitted Jeans cause my credit card skinny
It's pitch black and covers all incidentials
And Miss Wrong sorry you ain't notice my potential
Fuck ya rappers and your self-proclaimed status
I can only see green now happy St.Patty's
I know you waitin on a last quote
Check the soundscan and you can see that I'm the last
hope
[Verse 2]:
By the way I'm Jewish and turnin 22
Get's depressing when you see your favorite rappers
goin through it
Tryna re-invent themselves, showin' no improvement
Gettin' crushed by this light skinned young'n on some
new shit
40 just recorded and who dropped this here,
cos I'm tryna fuck Megan Fox this year
And if you got a style, it's to cop new gear
you are in my age bracket, you are not my peer
Fuck you really know about a ? couch
Fred ? sheets, perfect touch to a clean house
Wide awake put a nigga livin' ya dreams out
lookin like a photoshoot everytime the team's out
And is the realest nigga still I
A woman could love me to death but I'd still die
so I'm about us now
Smith and Wesson flow,
Money, money, cars, cars
Clothes, clothes, the hoes
I suppose, yeah
I want the money, money and the cars, cars
And the clothes, the hoes I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
Drizzy, ah yeah, Trey, I fuckin' feel you
They be starin' at the money like it's unfamiliar
I get it, I live it, to me there's nothings realer
Just enough to solve your problems, too much will kill ya
And when I leave I always come right back here
The young spit'a that everybody in rap fear
A lot of y'all are still soundin' like last year
The game needs change and I'm the mofucking cashier
Nickels for my thoughts, dimes in my bed
Quarters of the kush shape the lines in my head
Take my verses too serious, ya hate me
'Cause I'm the one to paint a vivid picture no HD
Yeah, I want it all, that's why I strive for it
Dis me and you'll never hear a reply for it
Any awards show or party I get fly for it
I know that it's comin' I just hope that I'm alive for it
I want the money, money and the cars, cars
And the clothes, the hoes I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
Yeah, I want things to go my way
But as of late a lot of shit been goin' sideways
And my mother tried to runaway from home
But I left somethin' in the car and so I caught her in the driveway
And she cried to me so I cried too
And my stomach was soakin' wet, she only 5'2
And forty eight hours was all before I showed up
And brought a thousand dollars worth of drinks and got pulled up
Damn, my reality just set in
And even when the Phantom's leased them hoes wanna get in
I do a lot of things hopin' I neva have to fit in
So tryin' to keep up with my progress is like a dead end
My girl love me but fuck it, my heart beat slow
And right now the tour bus is lookin' like a freak show
And life change for us every single week
So it's good but I know this ain't the peak though 'cause I want
I want the money, money and the cars, cars
And the clothes, the hoes I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
Wise words from a decent man
Back when I was tryin' to put a ring on Alicia Hand
This lost boy got fly without Peter Pan
And my delivery just got me buzzin' like the pizza man
In person I am everything and more
I'm everywhere these other niggas never been before
But inside I'm treadin' waters steady tryin' to swim ashore
I'm on a shoppin' spree to get whateva is in store
Yeah, just call me "Shop And Bag Drizzy"
And call me "Mr. Damn", he ain't copin' that is he
And fans of these freshman is about to get iffy
While this youngin' that you doubtin' is about to get busy
I'ma kill it, I promise this, I know you mad
I've always treated my city like some shoulder pads
To big homie use a flash if you must
And I swear I ain't askin' for much, all I want is
I want the money, money and the cars, cars
And the clothes, the hoes I suppose
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
I just wanna be, I just wanna be successful
It's like I know what I got to say
I just don't know how to say it to you
Pardon the swag but bitches cartate
Long bread, I don't eat shortcake
How come I can't miss a woman
Like I can't miss court dates
Cheese but she's not in this portrait
Life's fine but I do not portray
I'm on the other side but it is a sharp gate
I don't want the glow, I want the glo'ray
And I'ma fuck the world but this is just foreplay
Tired of hearing bullshit, bring her on to cow shit
Haven't met a smell that's stinkier than shit
That's word to Toronto
So high up I got birds in the condo
Ain't that a female dog
Ask her who I am to her and she yell, God
It's ten o'clock on a wednesday and I know your home
Driving up and down your street hoping that you come outside
Cause I just got paid and I went and bought the car you wanted
And I just need you to see me alone
Childish as it seems it'll make it all better... better
Selfish as it is this just ain't about you no...
Did me wrong eveytime we were together... gether
And that's why...
I'm gonna stunt on you
I'm gonna stunt on you
You let me go...
Little did you know...
Chorus:
I did it all on my own,
Turned a chair to a throne,
I'm a king in this world,
(Stunt hard)
I put my whole city on,
To some things that they never would've known,
If I didn't,
(Stunt hard)
And every night is a premiere,
If I ever disappear,
Best believe I'm comin' back.
(Stunt hard)
Got rich, went broke, and got rich again,
On that same shit again,
All I ever do is,
(Stunt hard)
Verse 1 (Drake):
I tell her.
I'm getting motherfuckin' busy.
So many spins my records is motherfuckin' dizzy.
Haters wanna turn to their girl and be like, "Who Is He",
But I bet a million she tell you that's motherfuckin' Drizzy.
And I'm focused on my survival.
Keep an eye on the door, focus on my arrival.
Who do you look up to when you're better than your idols.
And how you 'posed to look when you do it with your eyes closed.
I'm everything you just haven't become.
I spend my time trying to outdo what hasn't been done.
Now hopefully let them see,
What they say that I'm gon' be,
And if not our whole future does in the memory of me.
Get your team in order, assembly is key.
And all my niggas shutter at the mention of a plea.
They rather be apprehended and keep quiet then to be,
On the stand jeopardizing every inch of their loyalty.
Pick a lane pick a lane. That's all I ever heard.
But I'm just trying to swerve.
Without hitting the curb.
That's why I spend thousands on bottles so I can pop them.
And take photos wit hated niggas and crop them.
I am not them. I photoshop them, out.
'Cause they don't understand what I'm about.
Yeah.
The Chris Paul
Of this fall,
Sittin' this tall.
I float high,
Goodbye,
I will miss y'all.
Chorus:
I did it all on my own,
Turned a chair to a throne,
I'm a king in this world,
(Stunt hard)
I put my whole city on,
To some things that they never would've known,
If I didn't,
(Stunt hard)
And every night is a premiere,
If I ever disappear,
Best believe I'm comin' back.
(Stunt hard)
Got rich, went broke, and got rich again,
On that same shit again,
All I ever do is,
(Stunt hard)
Verse 2 (Lil' Wayne):
If I don't do nothin', Imma stunt my ass off.
Money sittin' in the pocket, 'bout to get a passoff.
And I smoke that shit that smell like when you take your cast off.
And I got them beach bitches, like David Hasselhoff.
Baby I'm an acrobat. Sweetie, I'm a stuntdevil.
You can't get on my level 'cause I am so unleveled.
Im a young rebel.
And I got a babyface.
I need a young pebbles.
I need a stuntdouble.
Yeah!
Me, Drake and Kid and you know it's trouble.
We got 'em drownin' in the flow, you see 'em blowin' bubbles.
Yeah!
I stick my landin' in a freak drawers.
I'll have her bouncin' back like Dominique Dawes.
Yeah!
But I ain't stuntin' these hoes
I been pimpin' since Hulk Hogan was N.W.O.
Yeah!
I'm wild, Drizzy tough, and the Kid vicious.
The three horseman, we just need Sid Vicious.
Yeah!
I'm on the cup of that tilt.
And if you hatin' on me
I'll say fuck you like wilt.
Yeah!
Im a wild-erbeast. You're just a wildebeest.
My two fingers make a gun, shoot and kill ya peace.
Yeah!
Talkin big big shit.
I am rude,
I take food,
From a kid picnic.
Nigga.
Yeah!
And we can bang like bumper cars.
You know I stunt shit 'cause I write all stunner bars.
Haha.
Chorus:
I did it all on my own,
Turned a chair to a throne,
I'm a king in this world,
(Stunt hard)
I put my whole city on,
To some things that they never would've known,
If I didn't,
(Stunt hard)
And every night is a premiere,
If I ever dissapear,
Best believe I'm comin' back.
(Stunt hard)
Got rich, went broke, and got rich again,
On that same shit again,
All I ever do is,
(Stunt hard)
Verse 3 (Nutt Da Kid):
I stunt hard. I stunt harder.
Boy they call me Jackie Chan in New Orleans.
I ball hard. So I'm a ball hogger.
And I go hard and I dunk like Vince Carter.
I hustle harder.
I live in the Carter.
I think forward,
All I see is tommorow.
I need me.
I'll turn your shop into a horror.
So if you trying to see more
Better feed me.
I'm back on my grizzy like Izzy Efeger.
Don't he look like a black grizzly in that black fur.
And the feds will never get me,
Like a backwards,
Password,
Black spur,
Go some like Pacman, cats first.
Vanilla Ice got 'em hangin over the banister
Ask her,
Am I their man,
Her answer,
Is yessir.
Shit.
I'm tourin states on stage,
I played the RTA
'Bout a quarter a day.
Now tell them bitches.
Chorus:
I did it all on my own,
Turned a chair to a throne,
I'm a king in this world,
(Stunt hard)
I put my whole city on,
To some things that they never would've known,
If I didn't,
(Stunt hard)
And every night is a premiere,
If I ever dissapear,
Best believe I'm comin' back.

Got rich, went broke, and got rich again,
On that same shit again,
All I ever do is,
Verse 1.
I Feel Good, I Got Some Time Off Girl It's Been So Long,
Did You Have Fun, Cause I'ma Need A Cab Just To Get Me Home,
And Maybe You Can Call In Sick, Then Bring It To The Crib And Get All This,
I Know, I Know I'm Blunt But How Real Is That, You Want That Feeling' Back,
Then You Should Know.
Chorus.
I Still Got It For Ya' (x6)
And Even Though We Let It Go, It's Better That You Know,
I Still Got It For Ya' (x6)
And Even Though We Let It Go, It's Better That You Know, I Still.

Hey, oh
These girls ain't got nothing on you
Say baby, I had to mention
That if you were a star you'd be the one I'm searching for
Other girls, they, they got attention
But I just always feel like there in need of something you got
Obvious you're pretty, heard that you're a student
Working weekends in the city, trying to take you out, girl
Hope you're not too busy, and if there's nothing wrong
Got this little song for you to get ready to
Put those fucking heels on and work it, girl
Let that mirror show you what you're doing
Put that fucking dress on and work it kind of vicious
Like somebody's taking pictures
Shut it down, down, down
You would shut it down, down, down
You be the baddest girl around, 'round, 'round
And they notice, they notice
You would shut it down, down, down
You would shut it down, down, down
You be the baddest girl around, 'round, 'round
And they notice, they notice, you would shut it
Hey, oh
These girls ain't got nothing on you
They ain't got nothing on you
They ain't got nothing on you
Killa, killa
Girl, you're the greatest
And if he say you ain't, girl, he's out his mind
You the finest
And if he say you ain't, that boy done lost his mind
Hey baby
Every time you come around, shut down like computers
Hey lady
Step into my heart, let me put you into Louboutins
What you want? What you need?
I can be your everything
Them other niggas just wanna hit it but if they had it
Wouldn't know what to do with it
And together we shut it down, down, down
They know you shut it down, down, down
You be the baddest girl around, 'round, 'round
And they notice, they notice
You would shut it down, down, down
You know you shut it down, down, down
Every time they come around, 'round, 'round
Well, all of them notice, they notice, you shut it down
MC Concrete Loop, you shut that motherfucker down, down
Ice cream conversations, they all want the scoop
You shut that motherfucker down, down, down, oh yeah
(Yes, indeed, you shut it down, down, Drizzy, the American dream)
Shooting stars all around her, fire, comets
I could bring her through and shut 'em down, honest
No you not imagin' it, they lookin' at you, long stares
Even though she standin', now she look like she belongs here
You feel the hours pass until you find somethin'
I feel like when she moves, the time doesn't
Yeah, baby you finer than your fine cousin
And your cousin fine, but she ain't got my heart beatin' double time
You just shut it down girl
Who told the cops where the party was?
Why do I feel like I found the one?
What's in these shots that you ordered us?
Damn, I mean, you sure know how to paint a town
Ever since you came around
It's obvious
You shut that thing down, down, down
You shut it down, you shut it down
You shut it down, you shut it down
You shut it, oh, oh
You looking good girl
Go, go, go get 'em girl
Go, go, go hit 'em girl
Go, go, go, go, go, go
You looking good girl
Go, go, go get 'em girl
Go, go, go hit 'em girl
Go, go, go, go, go, go
How did I end up right here with you
After all the things that I've been through
It's been one of those days, you try and forget about
Take a shot and let it out, let's get right, now that I'm here, baby
Show me a good time, oh yeah, oh yeah
Show me a good time, oh yeah, oh yeah
Show me a good, show me a good
Show me a good time, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I live for the nights that I can't remember
With the people that I won't forget
Spendin' all the money that I just worked my ass off for
Doing things that I won't regret
I've been waiting way too long, long, long, long
Tellin' everybody that I know
We about to be on, on, on, on
I ain't tryna look like I lied to these niggas that I came up with
That's my team
Never would I let a woman come between
What we doin' right now, this our dream
Wu-Tang Clan, niggas want that cream
I'm the Osiris to this shit right now
Go to God for the hits right now
Whatever you wanna drink, girl, pick right now
If you can't hold your liquor, better quit right now
How did I end up right here with you
After all the things that I've been through
It's been one of those days, you try and forget about
Take a shot and let it out, let's get right, now that I'm here, baby
Show me a good time, oh yeah, oh yeah
Show me a good time, oh yeah, oh yeah
Show me a good, show me a good
Show me a good time, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
How 'bout you and all your morals
In that outfit that you borrowed
Make the most out of tonight
And worry 'bout it all tomorrow
Understand girl, we fam, girl
Can't get me right and not do Wayne
Cash money, Young Money, pop champagne
Presidential suite, girl, Barack Hussein
Tell me can we kick it
Like Ali Shaheed and Phife Dawg
People really hate it when a backpack
Rapper get rich and start livin' that life, dawg
Feels like when you get into that paper
Hip-hop hates you
They would do it just like I do it if they could
It's in our nature
Young and rich and out of control
Out in LA throwin' clouds at the killa
I came up in the underground though
So I'ma spend another 10,000 for Dilla
Call me overrated or created or too jaded
Because anyway you put it, bitch I made it
How did I end up right here with you
After all the things that I've been through
It's been one of those days, you try and forget about
Take a shot and let it out, let's get right, now that I'm here, baby
Show me a good time, oh yeah, oh yeah
Show me a good time, oh yeah, oh yeah
Show me a good, show me a good
Show me a good time, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Show me a good time, oh yeah, oh yeah
Show me a good time, oh yeah, oh yeah
Show me a good, show me a good
I can see it in your eyes, you're angry
Regret got shit on what you're feeling now
Mad cause he ain't like me
Oh you mad cause nobody ever did it like me
All the care I would take, all the love that we made
Now you're trying to find somebody to replace what I gave to you
It's a shame you didn't keep it: Alicia, Catya
I know that you gon hear this: I'm the man
Yeah I said it
Bitch i'm the man
Don't you forget it
The way you walk, that's me
The way you talk, that's me
The way you've got your hair up, did you forget that's me?
And the voice in the speaker right now, that's me, that's me
And the voice in your ear, that's me
Can't you see that I made it? yeah I made it
First I made you who you are, then I made it
And you're wasted with your ladies
Yeah I'm the reason why you always getting faded
[2x's]
Take a shot for me
oh oh oh oooh
oh oh oh oooh
Take a shot for me
oh oh [6x's]
A shot for me
oh oh [6x's]
A shot for me
Ok look, I'm honest
Girl i can't lie, I miss you
You and the music were the only things that I commit to
I never cheated, for the record, back when I was with you
But you believe in everything but me girl, I don't get you
She says I know you changed, I never see you
Cause you're always busy doing things
I really wish she had a different way of viewing things
I think the city that we're from just kinda ruined things
It's such a small place: not much to do but talk and listen
The men are jealous and the women all in competition
And now your friends telling you stories that you often misinterpret
And taint all your images of your "Mr. Perfect"
I could tell that you been crying all night, drinking all summer
Praying for your happiness, hope that you recover
Uh this is one I know you hated when you heard it
And it's worse because you know that I deserve it
[2x's]
Take a shot for me
oh oh oh oooh
oh oh oh oooh
Take a shot for me
oh oh [6x's]
A shot for me
oh oh [6x's]
A shot for me
Yeah
May your neighbors respect you
Trouble neglect you, angels protect you
Why do I feel so alone
Like everybody passing through the studio
Is in character as if we acting out a movie role
Talking bullshit as if it was for you to know
And I don't have the heart to give these
Bitch ass niggas the cue to go
So they stick around kicking out feedback
And I entertaining as if I need that
I had a talk with my uncle and he agreed that
My privacy about the only thing I need back
But it's hard to think of them polite flows
Mr. fano poloto suits on your night clothes
And jordan sweat suits are your flight clothes
And you still make it even when they say your flight closed
Eyes hurting from the camera phone light shows
Life was so full
Now this shits just been light pole
Always said I'd say it all on the right track
But in this game u only lose when you fight back
Black diamond bracelets
Showing you the basics
I can't live and hold the camara
Someone gotta tape dis
I make hits and like a bitch
Just married I ain't miss
24 hours from greatness
I'm that close to
Don't ever forget the moment
You began to doubt
Transitioning from fitting in to standing out
Los angeles, cabanas or atlanta south
Watchin home shows
Embarrassed to pull my camera out
And my mother embarased
To put my phantom out
So I park about 5 houses down
She said I shouldn't have until I have the crown
But I don't wanna feel the need to wear disguises around
So she wonder where my mind is and counts in the minus
But yet I'm rolling round the fuckin city like your highness
Got niggas reactin without a sinus
Cause what I'm working with is timeless
And promoters trying to get me out to they club
And say I have fun but I can't imagine how
Cause I just see my ex-girl
Standing with my next girl
Standing with the girl that I'm fuckin right now
And shit could get weird unless they all down
And so I stay clear
We from a small town
And everybody talks and everybody listen
And somehow the truth just always comes up missing
I've always been something dat these lables can't buy
Especially if they tryin to take a peice of my soul
And still b only tellin tales "damn drake fly"
And he just be like "silly mother fucker I know"
That was your bad
How could you pass up on em?
He just take the records
And he gas up on em
Wayne will prolly put a million cash up on em
Surprised no one ever put your ass up on em
Oh they did pole
At least they try to
And that's what happens
When you spitting what's inside you
But slip up and shoot the wrong fucking video
And they think they can market you
However they decide to naww
Before they told me to do me
And don't listen to anybody that knew me
Cause who of known me would
Mean that there's a new me
And if you think I've changed in the slightest
Could of fooled me
Baa into my city I'm da 2-3
Drug dealers live vicariously through me
I quit school and is not because I'm lazy
I'm just not the social type
And campus life is crazy understand
I could get money with my eyes closed
Lost some of my hottest versus down at cabo
So if you find a blackberry with the sides scroll
Sell that mothafucka to any rapper that I know
Cause they need it much more than I ever will
I got new shit
I'm gettin better still
Little niggas put my name in their verses
Cause they girlfriend put my ass on a pedestal
Future said cause it's ye shit you better kill
And I think it's got them making of a legend feel
Problem with these other niggas they
Ain't never real
why do i feel so alone
like everybody passing through the studio
is in character as if we acting out a movie role
talking bullshit as if it was for you to know
and i don't have the heart to give these

Verse:(Drake)
Why Do I Feel So Alone,
Like Everybody Passin' Through The Studio
Is In Character As If He Actin' Out A Movie Role,
Talkin' Bullshyt As If It Was For You To Know,
And I Don't Have The Heart
To Give These Bitch Niggas The Queue To Go,
So They Stick Around, Kickin' Out Feedback,
And I Entertain It, As If I Need That,
I Had A Talk With My Uncle And He Agreed That,
My Privacy About The Only Thing I Need Back,
But, It's Harder Thinkin' Impolite Flows,
When Stefano Pilato Suits Are Your Night Clothes,
And Jordan Sweat Suits Are Your Flight Clothes
And You Still Make It Even When They Say Your Flight's Closed,
Eyes Hurtin' From The Camera Phone Light Shows
Life Was So Full, Now The Shyt Just Been Lipoed,
Always Said I'd Say It All On The Right Track,
But In This Game You Only Lose When You Fight Back,
Black Diamond Bracelets, Showin' You The Basics,
I Can't Live And Hold The Camera, Someone Gotta Tape This,
I Make Hits, Unlike A Bitch That's Married I Ain't Miss,
24 Hours From Greatness, I'm That Close,
Don't Ever Forget The Moment You Began To Doubt,
Transitionin' From Fittin' In, To Standin' Out,
Los Angeles Cabana's Or Atlanta South,
Watchin' Hov's Show, Embarrassed To Pull My Camera Out,
And My Mother Embarrassed To Pull My Phantom Out,
So I Park About 5 Houses Down,
She Say I Shouldn't Have It Until I Have The Crown,
But I Don't Wanna Feel The Need To Wear Disguises Around,
So She Wonder Where My Mind Is, Accounts In The Minus,
But Yet I'm Rollin' Round The Fuckin' City Like Your Highness,
Got Niggas Reactin' Without A Sinus,
Cause What I'm Workin' With Is Timeless,
And Promoters Tryna Get Me Out To They Club,
They Say I'll Have Fun But I Can't Imagine How,
Cause I Just See My Ex Girl, Standin' With My Next Girl,
Standin' With The Girl That I'm Fuckin' Right Now,
The Shit Could Get Weird, Unless They All Down,
And So I Stay Clear, We From A Small Town,
And Everybody Talks, And Everybody Listen,
And Somehow The Truth Just Always Comes Up Missin',
I've Always Been Somethin' That These Labels Can't Buy,
Especially If They Tryna Take A Piece Of My Soul,
And Sylvia Be Tellin' Tez, "Damn, Drake Fly,"
And He Just Be Like, "Silly Muthafucka, I Know,"
That Was Yo Bad, How Could You Pass Up On Him,
He Just Take Them Records And He Gas Up On 'Em,
Wayne Would Prolly Put A Million Cash Up On Him,
Suprise, No One Ever Put Yo Ass Up On Him,
Oh, They Did Poe, At Least They Tried To,
And That's What Happen When You Spittin' What's Inside You,
But Slip Up And Shoot The Wrong Fuckin' Video
And They Think They Can Market You However They Decide To,
Nah, But 40 Told Me To Do Me,
And Don't Listen To Anybody That Knew Me,
Cause To Have Known Me Would Mean That There's A New Me
And If You Think I Changed,
Then The Slightest Could Have Fooled Me,
Boy, And To My City I'm The 2-3,
Drug Dealers Live Vicariously Through Me,
I Quit School And It's Not Because I'm Lazy,
I'm Just Not The Social Type, And Campus Life Is Crazy,
Understand, I Could Get Money With My Eyes Closed,
Lost Some Of My Hottest Verses Down In Cabo,
So If You Find A Blackberry With The Sides scroll,
Sell That Muthafucka To Any Rapper That I Kno,
Cause They Need It Much More Than I Ever Will,
I Got New Shit, I'm Gettin' Better Still,
Little Niggas Put My Name In They Verses
Cause They Girlfriends Put My Ass On A Pedestal,
Future Said, "Cause It's Ye Shit, You Better Kill,"
And I Think This Got That Makin' Of A Legend Feel,
Problem With These Other Niggas, They Ain't Never Real,
Featuring: Timbaland
This shit was all I knew
You and me only
I did it all for you
Still you were lonely
We coulda worked it out, uh, but I guess things change
It's funny how someone else's success brings pain
When you no longer involved, that person has it all
And you just stuck standing there
But, I'm gonna need you to say something baby
Say something baby, say something baby, say something baby
I'm gon' need you to say something baby
I'm gon' need you to say something baby
Yeah, it really sucks, but ever since I've been long gone
I traded in my senorita for a microphone
I hate the way we fell apart, girl, it's sad to see
Your life was good, but me and you, we a catastrophe
If I was a success, oh, would you be satisfied?
I need a paramedic, girl, I'm feelin' paralyzed
If I could choose, you would always be a friend of me
The more money I made, you actin' like my enemy
It's crazy, I can't help it if you feelin' change
Thought the pressure would turn you to my diamond babe
How could somethin' so familiar be so strange?
Closest friends gettin' strange when your status change
Why is it my mistake that where I am and where you at
And my homeboy Larry Live is the only one that have my back?
We were the perfect pair, and now it seem that we don't match
Is it the money? Want me to give it back?
This shit was all I knew
You and me only
I did it all for you
Still you were lonely
We coulda worked it out, uh, but I guess things change
It's funny how someone else's success brings pain
When you no longer involved, that person has it all
And you just stuck standing there
But, I'm gonna need you to say something baby
Say something baby, say something baby, say something baby
I'm gon' need you to say something baby
I'm gon' need you to say something baby
Uh, I am the topic of conversation, this a celebration
Let's toast to the fact that I moved out my momma's basement
To a condo downtown 'cause it's all about location
I sit and drink wine and watch Californication of life
You shoulda been here to kick it with me
We coulda split this whole thing up 50/50
But now I'm at the 40/40 getting bitches tipsy
Killing shit, the ever so talented Mr. Ripley
How I go from being the man that you argue with
To me and Dwayne Carter putting out the hardest shit
I should wanna go back to the one I started with
But I'm addicted to this life, it's gon' be hard to quit
Yeah, just ask me how things are coming along
You can tell me that you never heard none of my songs
Long as you end up saying one day you plan to listen
'Cause what's a star when its most important fan is missing?
This shit was all I knew
You and me only
I did it all for you
Still you were lonely
We coulda worked it out, uh, but I guess things change
It's funny how someone else's success brings pain
When you no longer involved, that person has it all
And you just stuck standing there
But, I'm gonna need you to say something baby
Say something baby, say something baby, say something baby
I'm gon' need you to say something baby
[Drake - Verse 1]
Can I, can I save you from you
Cause you know there’s something missing
And that champagne you’ve been sippin’s
Not supposed to make you different all the time
It’s starting to feel like the wrong thing to do girl
Cause with all that recognition it gets hard for you to listen
To the things that I must say to make you mine
But live girl, have some fun girl, we’ll be fine
Trying to convince myself I’ve found one
Making the mistake I never learned from
I swear I always fall for your type, yeah (for your type)
Tell me why I always fall for your type (for your type)
I just can’t explain this sh-t at all (fall for your type)
I just can’t explain this sh-t at all (fall for your type)
(I believe in people like you)
[Drake - Verse 2]
So who am I to judge you on the past, girl
I think there’s a reason for it all
You say that you’re nothing like the last girl
I just pray that you don’t let me down right now
It’s too late, I’m already yours
You just gotta promise me, hearts won’t break
And end up like before
I swear I always fall for your type, yeah (for your type)
Tell me why I always fall for your type (for your type)
[Drake]
Look, dress hanging off your shoulder, barely sober
Telling me how you moving away and starting over
Girl, quit playing you just drunk, you just saying sh-t
Oh you dance, dance like how, like ballet and sh-t
Oh, wait, no, I get it girl, I’m with it
I’ve been down this road before and yeah I skidded but forget it
Damn, yeah, I wonder why I never why I learned my lesson
It’s feeling like the second chance and its the first impression
And I heard it’s nothing new except for someone new
But how you supposed to find the one when anyone will come with you
Talking to myself but I never listen,
Cuz man it’s been a while, and I swear that this ones different
That’s why I’mma take you anywhere you wanna go
Let you meet my friends so they can lecture me again about
How reckless I have been
And I’m slowly running out of all the time that I invest in
Making all the same mistakes
And I’m just trying to correct it and I fall..
[Drake]
I swear I always fall for your type, for your type
Tell me why I always fall for your type, for your type
I just can’t explain this sh-t at all (fall for your type)
I just can’t explain this sh-t at all (fall for your type)
Songwriters: N/A
Featuring: Trey Songz
[Trey Songz echoing]
Ladies make some noise if you wanna be my replacement...
[VERSE 1]
Let me show you what it is,
I was birthed up top,
I was raised at the bottom of the map,
Where the girls all thick,
And the hottest nigga rap ,
And if you lookin for the good and we got 'em,
In the trap like (ooh wee),
took 'em from white sneaks to (looeee),
This metaphor might sound a lil confusing but (ya'll already knoow if you know me),
I done come a long way from the days inn,
Another hotel that i stayed in,
I took my lifestyle from mediocre to good,
And now we see it's sitting at amazing,
Girls trying to ho lobby us,
Hear 'em all screaming and it's prolly us,
But i can't blame females,
Females can't really ignore something this obvious,
What you really expect when i strut through town,
Two or three days and i'll shut you down,
Chillin with the homie trey songz,
You call him the prince,
He rep two up, two down,
Anyone i know get used to me,
I'm far the man that i used to be,
And i don't ever really kick game,
And i know you find it impressing when you're introduced to me,
Cause imma good dude, take pride in that,
Need good loving i'm providing that,
Understand that i'm worldwide,
You get it how you want it wherever you be residing at,
Cause i do things from the M town to the UK from Spain back out to Texas,
This album for my fans but yo this hook is for my exes.
[CHORUS]
This one is for you girl,
You know who you are girl,
You only show your face,
Cuz you know that Im a star girl,
But ur trynna make it,
Dont ever mistake it,
Girl my time is limited,
And I aint trynna waste it (all on you),
You had your chance now its gone (so long for you),
You had a man now you dont (now you dont),
Back to da basics,
I think i made it,
Ladies make some noise if you wanna be my replacement girl.
[VERSE 2]
Aint you ever seen a youngin so fly,
Lookin for something yo type,
I been left behind the love of my life,
Trying to find another one tonight,
And if its you baby,
Let yourself be seen (dont mind the skirts),
Dresses and jeans (i got the work,
Know what I mean,
And I'm flexing on my ex,
If you know what I mean,
[CHORUS]
This one is for you girl,
You know who you are girl,
You only show your face,
Cuz you know that Im a star girl,
But ur trynna make it,
Dont ever mistake it,
Girl my time is limited,
And I aint trynna waste it (all on you),
You had your chance now its gone (so long for you),
You had a man now you dont (now you dont),
Back to da basics,
I think i made it,
Ladies make some noise if you wanna be my replacement girl.
[VERSE 3]
Wit' dem otha dudes she get picked up, for some take out
Till dey slip up, and then dey break out
But it's anotha story ova here at Drakes house
Cuz I'm dripped up, and I'm draped out
And I'm leaned back, scopin
looking for a woman that i should wife
Who got just a right amount of loyalty in her
But still anticipatin us livin' the good life
We go LA, VA, NY, TO, sunshine,
And that heat stroke, and them fur hoods, and that deep snow,
We have breakfast in da bedroom,
Or break bread downstairs in the basement,
Since Jay & Kelz aint doing they thang no more,
Guess me and the boy Songz the replacement.
[CHORUS]
This one is for you girl,
You know who you are girl,
You only show your face,
Cuz you know that Im a star girl,
But ur trynna make it,
Dont ever mistake it,
Girl my time is limited,
And I aint trynna waste it (all on you),
You had your chance now its gone (so long for you),
You had a man now you dont (now you dont),
Back to da basics,
I think i made it,
Ladies make some noise if you wanna be my replacement girl.
[Beat fades out]
(Drake intro)
It's Drizzy baby
You already know what it is
It's the first time I'm high
It's the first time I've smoked in like 3 months
I'm sorry mamma I had to do it to 'em
Forty I see you
Oh I see you homie
I stay late tonight right?
You know what happen when I stay late, heh
Boi-1da
I swear it's like this every single time
Toronto I got you
I got us
(Drake [Lil' Wayne] verse 1)
I'm a hard guy to get along wit'
Get on a song wit'
When shit be going right
Well I just flip it to the wrong shit
The team that I belong to
The artists I put on wit'
Don't ever ask for nothin' 'cause them niggaz got they own shit
Me 'n Weezy like a mouthful of hot peppers
Black Ferrari with the red seats
I call it Playin' Checkers
I'm never doing verses
I'm forever giving lectures
If you're tryna meet with money
I'd be happy to connect ya
Life is, better than it's ever been
Scheduling million dollar meetings with the president
Someone cut the lights on
Where is Thomas Edison?
Got a new condo watch me as I settle in
I deserve a MTV show for me and my people
And if you tryna zone I got a whole Swisha Sweet full
Rappers are liars and they women are deceitful
Adding till they subtract me I never be a equal
Last place Drizzy is the nigga in the lead now
Weezy told me just write every single thing you need down
Then he got it for me and I'm happy as can be now
'Bout to start ballin' like I'm coming offa rebound
And I should have the most braggin' rights
Because a nigga spit crack, bag it tight
Hate when rappers say they tryna get they swagger right
'Cause I done came wit mo' fire than a dragon fight
Fuck you pussy ass hater you should do you
You ain't heard of me then you should go and get a Blue's Clue
[Oops I mean a red clue
Wayne's here, su woo]
Bet he felt that like the end of a pool cue
But I ain't bangin' I ain't wavin' no flag
I'm ATF but they ain't seein' no badge
It's Heartbreak Drake I hate to see 'em so sad
I could son you, see a little me in yo' dad
I'm the same yellow boy that used to play up on Degrassi
Can pocket twenty thousand to be anywhere they ask me
"Cash" like Johnny, "Banks" like Ashley
Burning like a Camel like
Stupid hoe ash me
But don't ask me shit about me
And know the game really ain't shit without me
She might have to pay me but I dick her down free
Wanna know if it's the truth then pull the zipper down and see
No homo dogg
(Lil' Wayne verse 2)
Ummm
I'm goin' in
Drizzy I got us
This is my promise
I'ma bring that barrel to them bitches eye liners
And what I make up would fuck up your skin
I pick the buck up and buck buck then buck buck again
I will butt fuck your friend then suck up her twin
I put the buck up to him then buck buck and buck buck and buck buck Again
Suck nut you duck fuck your unlovin' kin
Now don't rub it in
Like Lubriderm on a new tattoo I had to
Kick my princess up out my castle dad who
Never had that dude
Always had a black tool
Even when I was at school 'cuz bullies aren't bulletproof
Red scarf hoodie too
Probably ain't as hood as you
Stupid motherfucker the only thing in the hood is you
I do everything good as you no I do everything better
I get paid for every letter ABC etcetera
Fetch a bone, like a dog motherfucker
I am gone for you neck in a sec. intercept
Bring it back like work in the trunk and my exit comin' up yup
Ya I am headed for the buck like
Buck buck again might fly to L.A. and just fuck Karrine
Nah I fucked Karrine let's get bucks again
And fuckin' spend them bucks and then just fuck Karrine
If I told you I'ma do it I did it
Got my city on my fitted
'Bout to pop out let's get it
Let's get it motherfucker what you waitin' on
It is about a minute past pissed and I'm 'bout to get shitted
I'm wit' it if money is the it you want me with
And I'll probably just spit on the chick you won't be with
And I hate a bony bitch only like 'em only thick
And I own hip hop if you don't spit I'm gon' evict
And I just sold a lot of property to a buyer
And I think his name was kinda like Drake Drizzy Rogers or
Drizzy Drake Rogers I'm too busy to play father
And when it comes to the game I'm to willing to play harder
So harder I go, there he go
They chant MVP when I shoot a free-throw, CEO
Jazz' what it do?
The haters on their face and their ass is the shoe
Faster than you
Badder than you
Radder than you, et cetera
I told you I get paid by the letter like
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY
ZZ Top, yes he rocks
And me and Drizzy both wrote on Detox
That was just a foot note
How long can he could go?
Wonderin' when he stop?
Bitch when the beat stop
So I'ma keep rockin'
Till the sheet rock bend
And the heat I send
Burn skin
(Drake intro)

THE END
[Bun B - Verse 1]
Now when it come to making money I'm a printing press
When it come to being Trill I'm a litmus test
I run it like a fitness test
And when it come to making history I'm like (?) son
A million ways to die you already chose one
A million dollars stacked it sounds like a good beginning
We on the top now go back and tell the hook we winning
And while ya there let em know we did it just for them
I made them cough the cash up and left them just the phlegm
Is that the King of the trill go tell em yes it's him
And his testosterone is up who's got the oestrogen
I like your girl and I think she like me even more
I hit her with that heave and ho and them I'm leaving bro
The dirty South's finest and dirty south's behind us
Now that's a plus on the report card not a minus
Keep your security blankets because I'm not your lighters
You got a problem with us you know it's just as hard to find us
[Drake - Chorus]
Uhhh, since your telling on me
Tell the World bout me
Ask your girl about me, she probably tell you
Put it down, put it down
You know how I put it down, put it down
Every time I come around
Just bought a car, the n-gga Pimp owned it
I threw some tints on it
He would have loved it
Put it down, put it down
You know how I put it down, put it down
[Bun B - Verse 2]
They know I'm on a Port Arthur state of mind southern superstar status
I elevate the crime
My time is money so I put some money on my time
Lightening on the Breitling so exciting when you see that shine
We on that leather (?) before it's never even thought of
I broke my bread and fed the team just like the Holy Father
I helped the blind to see and keep it G just like I oughta
The only thing that's left for us to do is walk on water
We playing all four quarters til the clock expire
So til I see the ref waving I will not retire
My flow is still official and I still got the fire
Can't take your eyes off me, like when you watch the wire
And in '0-10 we finna go in
So let the opposition know there is no win
And I am no friend so put your hand down
Tell em stand down before it's man down
[Drake - Chorus]
Uhhh, since your telling on me
Tell the World bout me
Ask your girl about me, she probably tell you
Put it down, put it down
You know how I put it down, put it down
Every time I come around
Just bought a car, the n-gga Pimp owned it
I threw some tints on it
He would have loved it
Put it down, put it down
You know how I put it down, put it down
[Drake - Verse 3]
I gotta hundred girls on each phone
Drissy Drake man, young sweet Jones
I never cheat unless you count the girls I cheat on
I know you can't bring every single one you meet home
Home sick just when I thought I was sick of home
Losing track of time everyday we switching zones
Drizzy Hendrix I'm just backstage getting stoned
Thank Me Later man, a million copies shipped and gone
Overboard n-gga I'm quoting more n-gga
Results are in I guess you should have voted more n-gga
Swimming in the money y'all just float ashore n-gga
Never drowning what the f-ck you think this boat is for n-gga
Yeah I'm quick to take an RnB diva out
I'll bring some friends she'll bring some friends that know what we about
And when it's done I'll put some slippers on and see them out
And tip the driver to make sure he take the scenic route
I swear these women living like they tryna write a book after
But I'm just trying to keep it G for my chapter
Listen to my words, see just what I mean
Rest in peace to Chad Butler everyday I'm riding clean
Ohhh
[Drake - Chorus]
Uhhh, since your telling on me
Tell the World bout me
Ask your girl about me, she probably tell you
Put it down, put it down
You know how I put it down, put it down
Every time I come around
Just bought a car, the n-gga Pimp owned it
I threw some tints on it
He would have loved it
Put it down, put it down
Yeah,Cash money sh*t,Cach money sh*t[Hook]

I got a certain lust for life,
And as it stands,
Everything is going as right,
As it can,
They tryin to shoot down my flight,
Before it lands,
Before it lands,
But you could miss me with all that,
Diss me then crawl back,
I really wish ya'll will fall back,
But gettin rich suppose to slove that,
And these days women make offers and who the hell am I to say,
No no no,
My ex send late night text cause she dont know how to let,
Go go go
She in love,
And as for them pretty light skinned models standin in the cold oh yea they with us,
Let them girls in for a drink,
And Im all in they ear,
Saying she should be the one I see,
Everytime that Im here but when am I really even here?
Black surburban wit the tent on it,
Fresher than a pillow with a mint on it,
The game got these old hand prints on it,
But ima be the one to pour cement on it,
And start over,
And show up in an Mars yellow tux,
I dont really give a fuck,
And we only getting older,
So what i tend to do is to think of today as the past,
Its funny when u coming in first but you hope that you last,
You just hope that it last,
that it last,
that it last,
that it last,

Instead, I ask myself "why do you hurt me?"
When know, you know I'm the same
And know, I know you don't love me baby
Time to take you away from me
Only over my dead body...
I think I killed everybody in the game last year, man
Fuck it I was on though
And I thought I found the girl of my dreams at a strip club mm mmm
Fuck it I was wrong though
shout out to all my niggas livin' tax free
nowadays its six figures when they tax me
Oh well, I guess you lose some and win some
Long as the outcome is income
You know I want it all and then some
Shout out to asian girls, let the lights dim sum
Shots came, I don't know where they was sent from
Probably some bad hoes about to take the hint from
yea, u know me well nigga, yea
I mean you ain't the only real nigga
They got me on these white women like seal nigga
Slave to the pussy
but I'm just playing a field nigga yea
All these people really discussing my career again
Asking if I'll be going platinum in a year again
Don't I got the shit the world wanna hear again?
Don't michael jordan still got his hoop earing in?
Man all of your flows bore me: paint drying
And I don't ever be trippin off of what ain't mine
And I be hearing shit you say through the grapevine
But jealousy is just love and hate at the same time
It's been that way from the beginning
i just been playing, didn't even notice I was winning
And this is the only sound you should fear
These kids wear crowns over here and everything is alright
I know you don't love me baby
Time to take you away from me
Only over my dead body...
You say I'm old news, well who the new star?
Cause if I'm going anywhere, it's probably too far
Just performed at a bar mitzvah over in the states
Used half of the money to beat my brother's case
Red wine over fed time
And shout out to the niggas that's doing there time
Shout out to the bitches there when its bedtime
And fuck you to the niggas who think it's their time
Yea, Don't make me take your life apart boy
you and whoever the fuck gave you your start boy
Or you wanna be a muthafuckin funny guy?
Don't make me break your Kevin Hart boy
Yeah, it's whatever. you know, feeling good, living better
I think maybe I was numb to it last year
But you know I feel it now more than ever
My city love me like mac dre in the bay
Second album, I'm back paving the way
The backpackers are back on the bandwagon
Like this was my comeback season back, back in the day
And I met your baby moms last night
We took a picture together - I hope she frames it!
And I was drinking at the palms last night
And ended up losing everything that I came with
Yea, Feel like I've been here before huh?
Still got 10 years to go huh?
This is the only sound you should fear
These kids wear crowns over here
And everything is all right
I know you don't love me baby
Time to take you away from me
Young Money
I know way too many people here right now
That I didn’t know last year, who the fuck are y’all?
I swear it feels like the last few nights
We been everywhere and back
But I just can’t remember it all
What am I doin'? What am I doin'?
Oh, yeah, that’s right, I’m doin’ me
I’m doin me
I’m livin’ life right now, mayne
And this what I’ma do ’til it’s over
‘Til it’s over
But it’s far from over
Alright bottles on me,as long as someone drink it
Never drop the ball, fuck are y’all thinkin’?
Makin’ sure the Young Money ship is never sinkin’
‘Bout to set it off set off in this bitch, Jada Pinkett
I shouldn’t've drove, tell me how I’m gettin’ home
You too fine to be layin’ down in bed alone
I could teach you how to speak my language, Rosetta
Stone
I swear this life is like the sweetest thing I’ve ever
known
‘Bout to go Thriller Mike Jackson on these niggas
All I need’s a fucking red jacket with some zippers
Super good smiddoke, a package of the swishers
I did it overnight, it couldn’t happen any quicker
Y’all know them? Well, fuck it, me either
But point the biggest skeptic out, I’ll make him a
believer
This wouldn't be the first time I done it, throwin’ hundreds
When I should be throwin’ ones, bitch, I run it Ahhhh!
I know way too many people here right now
That I didn’t know last year, who the fuck are y’all?
I swear it feels like the last few nights
We been everywhere and back
But I just can’t remember it all
What am I doin’? What am I doin’?
Oh, yeah, that’s right, I’m doin’ me
I’m doin me
I’m livin’ life right now, mayne
And this what I’ma do ’til it’s over
‘Til it’s over
But it’s far from over
Uh one thing ’bout music, when it hits you feel no pain
And I swear I got that shit that make these bitches go
insane
So they tell me that they love me, I know better than
that, it’s just game
It’s just what comes with the fame, and I’m ready for
that, I’m just sayin’
But I really can’t complain, everything is kosher
Two thumbs up, Ebert and Roeper
I really can’t see the end getting any closer
But I prolly still be the man when everything is over
So I’m riding through the city with my high beams on
Can you see me? Can you see me? Get your Visine on
Y’all just do not fit the picture, turn your widescreen
If you thinkin’ I’ma quit before I die, dream on
Man, they treat me like a legend, am I really this
cold?
I’m really too young to be feelin’ this old
It’s about time you admit it, who you kiddin’
Man, nobody’s never done it like I did it Ahh!
I know way too many people here right now
That I didn’t know last year, who the fuck are y’all?
I swear it feels like the last few nights
We been everywhere and back
But I just can’t remember it all
What am I doin’? What am I doin’?
Oh, yeah, that’s right, I’m doin’ me
I’m doin me
I’m livin’ life right now, mayne
And this what I’ma do ’til it’s over
‘Til it’s over
But it’s far from over
Yeah, that’s right, I’m doin’ me
I’m doin me
I’m livin’ life right now, mayne
And this what I’ma do ’til it’s over
‘Til it’s over
[Drake]
Look, I ain't never had a benzo
Nope, I pushed me an Ac wit the tintzo (Ac = Acura)
nosey n-ggas is peakin' in my window
have a hard time looking
I tell you second hand that's a hard grind cooking
cause my pop was in it so deep
if his son wanted in it these dealers would probably drop percentage
Instead, I drop bars like I'm two months sober
its my time now so them you months over
yeah if I want it I find me a way to get that
I’m trying to get to the point where I can sit back
took a lot of patience and action
I grind so I’m anticipating relaxing
I’m thinking bout replacing the Jacksons on top of the charts
I don't need brothers fillin' space in the back than.
so from the kid with the sun tan flow
the hottest ticket in town to this one man show
[Drake - Chorus]
I think that you know as well as I know
people checkin' for me every where that I go
what you gotta understand that it’s me I be
until the motherf-cking day that I D.I.E
(repeated)
[Verse 2]
they say im on of the best bet
I can easily make'em admit to bounce back
without knowing exactly where my accounts at
yeah you best believe that I often tenderly pass
what the rest achieve
so they don’t like me and throw parties and yet they never invite me
I can’t lie sometime it bother me slightly
either way the true fans yell
I'll pick'em and its obvious so who can tell
and no this aint Blu cantrell
this is like perfection though we both got the light complexion
couple things that I do that well
and the way that I Jack-son you think that Drake new Sam-el (As in Samual Jackson)
I’ve been real though, word out in memphis im lable as
Diz-zo
they stay kicking it with me like a field goal
see I’m humble but I live vain
with more deals on the table than a bridge game
[Chorus]
When he says "Benzo" he is talking about a Benz as in the Bentley cars.
And when he says "Ac" he is saying he drove an Acura.
Than when he says "I drop bars like I'm two months sober". He is referring it to someone that has stopped drinking and no longer goes to bars. Life if someone asks if you have a girlfriend/boyfriend and you say "No, I dropped her/him a week ago."
You had the part about the Jacksons right, He is just saying that he wants to top what the Jackson 5 have done by himself. He is basically saying that Micheal Jackson was the reason the Jackson 5 did so well, So since he is going to try and do it better, He doesn't need his "brothers" in the background filling in the empty space.
And I think there is a part before verse 2. I think he says something like
"They say it isn't a best bet."
But because of the DJ an "Evil Empire" you can't hear it...
It's the ones that smoke blunts with ya, seen ya picture
Now they wanna grab a gun and come and getcha
It's the ones that smoke blunts with ya, seen ya picture
Now they wanna grab a gun and come and getcha
One time for the homie DJ Screw
Already I'm feelin' throwed in this bitch
I'm so high even when I'm comin' down
Just met a girl, said she from the H-Town
I said my name is Drizzy and ain't nobody realer
A cup inside a cup smokin' ghost face killah
Got these boppers goin' crazy
Nigga, I'm the man, I sent your girl message
Said I see you when I can
She send me one back but I ain't never read it
'Cause pussies only pussy and I get it when I need it and
I'm tellin' you when homies runnin' down in the winter
And I be riding rims with tires in it thinner
Air force stun fly charters over seas full of Don Perian
And the water for the D's
Don't know why it happens every time we alone
But here we are again and I swear I'm in my zone
So I'ma sip this drink till that motherfucker gone
Than you go get undressed and we gon' get it on
I don't give you the time you deserve from me
This is something I know, I know, I know
So tonight I'll just fuck you like we're in Houston
Taking everything slow so slow, so slow but I do it to her
Draped up and dripped out know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Three in the morning get it poppin' in the parking lot
It's on once again and I never pretend
A nigga stay G till the end, yeah
I swear like every time we find ourself in this situation
I just get that feeling like I mean Houston candy paint
Switching colors in the light, it's about like 11 p.m.
And you just roaming through the city bumpin' that screw
Big Mo, UGK, Lil Keke
It feel like everything just moving slow
Let's take my time, I pace it, baby
We both wake up, staring at the sky
Don't remember how we got here but we don't wonder why
Right now we living life like there's no way we can die
But we bout to do our thing they couldn't stop us if they try
Keep the weapon for the haters if they try to blow our high
How the fuck would they stop us if we by each other's side
We were meant to be together we get inside
How the hell would they kill us when we're feeling so alive
Ooh girl I know you want a G
It's kinda hard not to notice me
Cause I'm right here where you wanna be
I can take you where you wanna go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Baby I can give what you want and everything you need
Put us both in a position where we can both succeed
And if it takes a sacrifice I promise I will bleed
All the blessings that I get I promise you'll receive
Fuck them other niggas all they do is deceive
Let me take away your pain, my job is to relieve
Ooh girl I know you want a G
It's kinda hard not to notice me
Cause I'm right here where you wanna be
[intro: rick ross]
all we wanted was opportunity
just blaze, lord knows!
[verse 1: drake]
it's your worst nightmare, it's my first night here
and this girl right here, who knows what she knows?
so i'm going through her phone if she go to the bathroom
and her purse right there, i don't trust these hoes at all
but that's just the result of me paying attention
to all these women that think like men with the same intentions
talking strippers and models that try to gain attention
even a couple pornstars that i'm ashamed to mention
but weezy and stunna are my only role models
heffer and jordan are my only role models
that's why i walk around with all this gold on
and every time i run into these niggas they want no problems
bottom sixes and chains, and some bracelets and rings
all of the little accents that make me a king
i never hear the disses they try and point out to me
but it's whatever if somebody wan' make it a thing
i'm more concerned what niggas thinkin' about christmas in august
do anything to buy gifts for they daughters
get some shake a brick in the press
and chef it like mrs. fields they're making the cookie stretch
i know it so well, i know the hustle so well
stunt like i'm workin' overnighters right by the motel
drug money, outfit record clean
spend it all on me and my fuckin' team
matchin' rollies for real, matchin' rovers for real
places they say they've been, we've actually going for real
i'm really killin' shit, fuck all the jiggy rappin'
i'm going trigga happy just to see my niggas happy
mixtape legend, underground kings
lookin' for the right way to do the wrong things
with my new bitch that's living in palm springs
young ass nigga, lifelong dreams
they take the greats from the past and compare us
i wonder if they'd ever survive in this era
in a time where it's recreation
to pull all your skeletons out the closet like halloween decorations
i know of all the things that i hear they be pokin' fun at
never the flow though, they know i run that
fuck you all, i claim that whenever
i change rap forever, the game back together, yup
ym, i remain that forever
in the same place my brother wayne that forever
i'm a descendent of either marley or hendrix
i haven't figured it out cause my story is far from finished
i'm hearing all of the jokes, i know that they tryna push me
i know that showin' emotion don't ever mean i'm a pussy
know that i don't make music for niggas who don't get pussy
so those are the ones i count on to diss me or overlook me
lord knows, lord knows, i'm heavy, i got my weight up
roll the ?, it's time that somebody paid up
a lot of niggas came up off of a style that i made up
but if all i hear is me, then who should i be afraid of?
bought a white ghost, now shit is gettin' spooky
very, very scary, like shit you see in the movies
in this bitch all drinks on the house like snoopy
that's why all the real soldiers salute me
trill nigga, for real
[interlude: rick ross]
you know i love this
yolo, you only live once
i'm going so hard my nigga, i swear homie
everyday is another opportunity to reach that goal
[verse 2: rick ross]
i fell in love with the pen, started fucking in ink
the hustle's an art, i paint it what i would think
still allergic to broke, prescription straight to the paper
destined for greatness, but got a place in jamaica
villa on the water with the wonderful views
only fat nigga in the sauna with jews
went and got a yacht, i'm talkin' carnival cruise
and these niggas talkin like hoes, they mad they not in my shoes
it's the red bottom boss, came to buy the bar
every by week, shit, i'm bound to buy a car
murder-cedes benz of that bubble double r
headlights flickin', lookin' like a fallin' star
everyday them hammers bang, with va like anime
i run the game but the ladies think i'm running game
mink coats making women wanna fornicate
[Verse 1]
It's like '09 in your basement and I'm in love with Nebbie
And I still love her but it fell through because I wasn't ready
And your back hurt, and your neck hurt, and you smoking heavy
And I sit next to you, and I lecture you 'cause those are deadly
And then you ask shit and we argue about spending money on bullshit
And you tell me I'm just like my father, my one button, you push it
And that's "Fuck you, I hate you, I'll move out in a heartbeat"
And I leave you and you call me, tell me that your sorry
You love me, and I love you, and your heart hurts, mine does too
And it's just words and they cut deep but it's our world, it's just us two
I see painkillers on the kitchen counter, I hate to see, it all hurt so bad
But maybe I wouldn't have worked as hard
If you were healthy and it weren't so bad
Uh, maybe I should walk up the street, and try and get a job at the bank
Cause leave it up to me, J, and neeks, we're probably gonna end up robbing
A bank
Then Wayne calls on my phone, conversation wasn't that long
Gets me a flight to Houston in the morning
Oh it's my time, yeah, it's on
He's thinking of signing me, I come home
We make a mixtape with seventeen songs
I almost get a Grammy off of that thing
They love your son and that boy gone
You get the operation you dreamed of
And I finally send you to Rome
I get to make good on my promise
It all worked out girl, we shoulda known
Cause you deserve it
[Hook]
This shit real, should I pinch you?
After all the things that we been through, I got you
Look what you've done, look what you've done
Look what you've done for me now
You know that I was gonna be something
We stressed out, and you need some, I got you
Look what you've done, look what you've done
[Verse 2]
It's like '06 in your backyard and I'm in love with Jade
And I'm still in love, just wasn't that real, so then it doesn't fade
And my father living in Memphis now he can't come this way
Over some minor charges and child support that just wasn't paid
Damn, boo-hoo, sad story, black american dad story
Know that I'm your sister's kid but
That still don't explain the love that you have for me
I remember sneaking in your pool after school dances
Damn your house feel like the Hamptons
For all of my summer romances
I never really had no one like you man this all new, She
Made the world I knew bigger, changed the way that I viewed it
Had all this fighting going on at the crib
You calm me down when I lose it
Told you I think I'm done acting, I'm more in touch with the music
You said either way I'll be a star, I could go so far
Talked to me, to you got to me you
You tossed the keys and loaned me your car
Yeah, just a young kid in a drop top
Lexus hopin' that I don't get arrested
Just another kid goin' through life
So worried that I won't be accepted
But I could do anything, you said that, and you meant that
You took me places, you spent that, they said no, we went back
Checks bounce but we bounce back
I put all the money in your accounts back
And I thank you, I don't where
I'd really be without that, it worked out man
You deserve it
[TALKING:]
Southern Smoke {echo}
It's Southern Smoke baby!
(Money) Frank [?]
(Money) My man Nickelus F
(Money) Ho! It's Drake. Southern Smoke
(Money) This is the remix right here
(Money) So if you got some (Money)
Put ya hands in the air
(Money) Southern Smoke
[VERSE 1:]
Now-a-days you sayin' that I should go Jermaine, I
should go Pharrell
Either or my nigga, make sure you don't get shelled
(Right) Make sure your money's right and they do a
promotion well
So you could get checks cut like Benedict in Ocean's
Twelve
This ain't Brad Pitt, I gotta admit
I'm sick of seeing chicks in that Louis V and that
Plaid shit, cause it's a bad fit
They say my father lives through me, so this is just
basically how my dad spit
I know my cash come quick when it's sunny
You know a girl is special if I stick with her honey
If it wasn't for dummies chick would still have money
And if it wasn't for money Nick would still have Skummy
So, guess it's kinda like a gift and a curse
To jip money is easier than liftin' a purse
If you pick the wrong mother who'll snatch you, run for
cover
A week later you might find ya click in a hearse, boy!
[CHORUS:]
I, take time arrange that (Money)
Some, kill just to claim that (Money)
Switch countries exchange that (Money)
You cannot get jack for freeee
And my, proceeds and cash right (Money)
There's, no need to stash right (Money)
Got the same, 4 g's from last night (Money)
You cannot take that from meeeee, homie
[VERSE 2: Nickelus F]
[CHORUS]
I, take time arrange that (Money)
Some, kill just to claim that (Money)
Switch countries exchange that (Money)
You cannot get jack for freeee
And my, proceeds and cash right
There's, no need to stash right
Got the same, 4 g's from last night
Featuring: Lil' Wayne
I said tell me what's really going on?
Drizzy back up in this thing I'm ready, what's happening?
Gone for surgery, but now I'm back again
I'm 'bout my paper like a motherfucking scratch and win
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life
Nothing ever changes, so tonight is like tomorrow night
I will have a model wife, your bitch is as hot as ice
Every time you see me, I look like I hit the lotto twice
Drake you got 'em right, yeah, I got 'em bun
I love myself 'cause I swear their life is just not as fun
Nic's got the weed, Hush got a gun
CJ's got my credit cards and a lot of ones
Yeah, I'm in the city of the purple sprite
Someone tell Malaya I'm on fire, she should work tonight
Call her King of Diamonds and tell China it be worth the flight
I'll be at my table, stacking dollars to the perfect height
Work something, let's work something basis
She just tryna make it so she right here gettin' naked
I don't judge her, I don't judge her, but I could never love her
'Cause to her I'm just a rapper and since she'll have met another
That's why me and Lil' Jazz 'bout to spaz, can you keep up?
I'm just feeling sorry for whoever gotta sweep up
Yeah, bills everywhere, trill everything
And Drake just stand for do right and kill everything
I love Nicki Minaj, I told her I'd admit it
I hope one day we get married just to say we fucking did it
And girl, I'm fucking serious, I'm with it if you with it
'Cause your verses turn me on, and your pants are mighty fitted
Uh, damn, I think you caught me in a moment
Like I catch 'em stealing flows 'cause I swear I never loaned it
And life ain't a rehearsal, the camera's always rollin'
So come and get a portion of this money that we blowin'
'Cause it's on, yeah, girl, it's on
You know what it is when I finally make it home
I just thought that you miss me a little when I'm gone
Yeah, that you miss me a little when I'm gone
Hey, you just tell me what you down for, anything you down for
I know things have changed, know I used to be around more
But you should miss a little when I'm gone
I just hope that you miss me a little when I'm gone
Oh shit, motherfucker, goddamn
Kicking bitches out the condo like Pam
Getting money everyday, I'ma groundhog
'Bout to scoop your girl up like a ground ball
I walk light so I don't piss the ground off
Man, I swear my bitches do it 'til they suck the brown off
Ew, that's nasty
Yes, I am Weezy, but I ain't asthmatic
Jae's buyin' cologne, honey I put on
Make 'em run and tell they friends like a marathon
Voice baritone, haters carry on
Beat the pussy up, call me Larry Holmes
Young Money, Jerry Sloan, I turn every stone
When she masturbate to me, that's how she learn every song
To women I condone, better write me when I'm gone
No I'm not that thuggish, not that ruggish but I do pack bone
I'm a love machine and I won't work for nobody but you
It's only me and her because the Bugatti a coupe
It's blood gang slime but I parlay with Snoop
I ain't lying I shoot, you don't need signs for proof
Turn you to a vegetable like you lining soup
And when I'm in the booth, bitch, the lion is loose
Man, I got so many styles, I am a group
Damn, I be gone 'til November
But fuck it, I ain't trippin', I know Drizzy gon' kill 'em
I'm sticking to the script like lint on denim
Mama said if the rules ain't bent don't bend 'em
Real nigga talking, shut the fuck up, ho
Gotta do it one time for Haiti, what up Zoe?
Weezy F baby and the F is for front do'
'Cause that's where I bring it, so if you bang it, motherfucker
Yeah, girl, it's on
You know what it is when I finally make it home
I just hope that you miss me a little when I'm gone
Yeah, I hope that you miss me a little when I'm gone
Hey, you just tell me what you down for, anything you down for
I know things have changed, know I used to be around more
But you should miss a little when I'm gone
I just hope that you miss me a little when I'm gone, gone, gone
Fab in the house, J.J., Lay Boy
H time
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
I just hope that you miss me, miss me, miss me, miss me
Miss me a little when I'm gone

[Woman on phone]
“Hello
Yeah i just walked in
Yeah i’m good you still working?
tonight, right now?
‘Did i go out’ yeah i went out
I went, i went to a couple of clubs
I never went to bed
shit… wine or water
you should see someone about a cold drink
I don’t know, i’m delirious… night”
[Drake - Verse 1]
Cups of the Rose
Bitches in my old phone
I should call one and go home
I’ve been in this club too long
The woman that I would try
Is happy with a good guy
But I’ve been drinking so much
That I’ma call her anyway and say
“F-ck that nigga that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had”
I say “fck that nigga that you think you found
And since you picked up I know he’s not around”
(Are you drunk right now?)
I’m just sayin’, you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately?
I’m just sayin’ you could do better
And I’ll start hatin’, only if you make me
Uh, cups of the XO
All my people been here
I see all of her friends here
Guess she don’t have the time to kick it no more
Flights in the morning
What you doing thats so important?
I’ve been drinking so much
That I’ma call you anyway and say
“F-ck that nigga that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had”
I say “f-ck that nigga that you think you found
And since you picked up I know he’s not around”
(Are you drunk right now?)
I’m just sayin’, you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
I’m just sayin’ you could do better
And I’ll start hatin’, only if you make me
I think I’m addicted to naked pictures
And sittin talkin’ ’bout bitches
that we almost had
I don’t think I’m concious of making monsters
Outta the women that I sponsor til it all goes bad
But shit it’s all good
We threw a party, yeh we threw a party
Bitches came over, yeh, we threw a party
I was just calling cause they were just leaving
Talk to me please, don’t have much to believe in
I need you right now, are you down to listen to me?
Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women thats living off me
Paid for their flights and hotels I’m ashamed
Bet that you know them, I won’t say no names
After a while girl they all seem the same
I’ve had sex four times this week I’ll explain
Having a hard time adjusting to fame
Sprite in that mixture, I’ve been talking crazy girl
I’m lucky that you picked up
Lucky that you stayed on
I need someone to put this weight on
[Drake and Woman on phone]
“Well I’m sorry” – Drake
“Are you drunk right now?” – Woman
I’m just sayin’, you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
I’m just sayin’ you could do better
And I’ll start hatin’, only if you make me
[Drake on phone]
“You’re not going to come?”
“Guess i’m bout to just kick it here then…”
Just throw up while I hold your hair back
Her white friend said “you niggas crazy”
I hope no-one heard that
I hope no-one heard that
[Verse 1: Drake]
Damn!
I done walked in here
Lookin' like the mothafuckin' man of the year
Think I had the mothafuckin' plan of the year
Which was simply to make groupie fans of my peers
And I get my girl whatever she desire
And my niggas get whatever they require
These rappers old, I'm the reason they expire
Plus I got a city that I Carey like Mariah
Damn!
That punch line was predictable
I still got you shittin' bricks, homie, quit the bull
And we don't need new members
To me the clique is full
And I be gettin' the same women that tip the pool
Believe or not
I receive a lot
So, I be wearing the same Gucci that Jeezy got
And I be buyin' the Louis that Kanyeezy cop
And I be rippin' the same reords that Weezy rock
This shit is easy Pop
That's why I'm ready, man
I'd never copy Norbit like Eddie, man
Did you get it? Eddie Murphy was in Norbit
Or was it way over your head?
Did you forfeit?
Yeah, I take a woman shopping in a store quick
Her ass big, she just tryin' to make a four fit
Yeah, they need to issue out a recall
I'm goin' up and they headin' into a freefall
The fundamentals are needed, you playin' streetball
And I was out at BET, but I didn't see y'all
These skee-low rappers wishing they could be tall
Lettin' all their fake friends use them like a free stall
Yep!
[Chorus: Lil' Wayne]
Damn!
I done walked in here
Lookin' like the mothafuckin' man of the year
My shades so dark
And my ice so bright
My buddies and my fans wanna fight your right
Like, round one, round two, round three
I told you not to ever bring a bitch 'round me
'Cause, ain't no nigga like a Young Money nigga
No, ain't no nigga like me
Ya dig?
[Verse 2: Drake]
I said I know you see me chillin'
Super low key
If I'm with the right niggas, you can scoop a O.Z.
All the hustlers and the bouncers
And the groupies know me
Fresh denim, fresh shades
In a group with no kids
It start up when I touch the door
And I encourage ladies to touch the floor
As soon as we finish cuttin', we can cut some more
Then after you get high, make 'em, get 'em, girl you finna get low
Lights dimmed down
Got alota dough
Plus a hit sound
What you mean you ain't heard?
I come highly recommended
Everybody my friend, even if they been offended
They ain't really got a choice, it's an obvious decision
You tryna make a come up in my city, it's a given
Plus a nigga famous
Plus I got a vision
Not to mention havin' bars like a mothafuckin' prison
They takin' too long
Their records on hold
They threatened by my presence
'Cause I make 'em feel old
Guaranteed if they drop, they braggin' 'bout what they sold
Just remember where I lived at, 50 thousands goin' gold
Holla at me when you see me, make yourself known
'Stead of hatin' on my music in the comfort of your home
Nigga, be a man
You actin' like a bitch
I ain't actin' like I'm rude
I'm just actin' like I'm rich, rich
Yeah, uh!
Ridin' with Weezy Fuckin' Baby
Are you the type of girl that me and Weezy fuckin', baby?
'Cause I don't waste time, can't you see a nigga lazy?
And I might need some help
But, you know, Weezy's fuckin' crazy
[Chorus: Lil' Wayne]
Damn!
I done walked in here
Lookin' like the mothafuckin' man of the year
My shades so dark
And my ice so bright
My buddies and my fans wanna fight your right
Like, round one, round two, round three
I told you not to ever bring a bitch 'round me
'Cause, ain't no nigga like a young money nigga
No, ain't no nigga like me
Ya dig?
[Spoken: Lil' Wayne]
Y.M., bitch!
Everybody!
Two time on Sunday!
Spit 'em!
Check ya blinkers, baby!
Check ya blinkers, baby!
'Cause, to me, look like you've been turning right all day! Yeah!

Wall Street gangsta!
Carter, y'all! Heh heh!
Why would I lie?

Young! I talk shit 'til I die!
Come kill me, nigga!
Fuck you!

[Chorus: Lil' Wayne]
I'm feelin' like...
Damn!
I done walked in here
Straight up lookin' like the mothafuckin' man of the year
My shades so dark
And my ice so bright
My buddies and my fans wanna fight your right
Like, round one, round two, round three
I told you not to ever bring a bitch 'round me
'Cause, ain't no nigga
Ain't no nigga
Ain't no nigga like a young money nigga
Damn!
I done walked in here
Lookin' like the mothafuckin' man of the year
My shades so dark
And my ice so bright
[Drake]
I like a woman with a future and a past
A lil attitude problem all good, it'll make shit last
Don't make it too easy girl, don't take it too fast
Yeah, thats it right there, thats it, do it just like that
Only you can do it just like that
And I love it when your hair still wet cause you just took a shower
Running on a treadmill and only eating salad
Sound so smart like you just graduated college
Like you went to Yale but you probably went to Howard
Knowing you, weekend in Miami tryna study by the pool
Couple things due but you always get it done
Might have been a time when I loved her too
But you take that away and you'll always be the one
One, I wonder why the moon looks nice, girl
Maybe it's just right for the night
You said niggas coming on too strong girl
They want you in their life as a wife
Thats why you wanna have no sex, why you wanna protest
Why you wana fight for your right
Cause you don't love them boys
P-ssy run everything, f-ck that noise
[Chorus - Drake]
I know things get hard girl but you got it girl
You got it there you go
Can't you tell by how they looking at you everywhere you go
Wondering whats on your mind, it must be hard to be that fine
When all these muthaf-ckas wanna waste your time
It's just amazing girl, all I can say is
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so proud of you
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so proud of you
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so proud of youEverything's adding
up, you've been through hell and back
Thats why you're bad as f-ck and you
[Nicki Minaj]
B-b-b-bet I am
All of them bitches I'm better then
Mansions in Malibu babblin
And I never mention everything I dabble in
And I always ride slow when I'm straddlin'
And my shit's so wet you gotta paddle in
Gotta ro-ro-row, gotta row ya boat
It's Pink Friday rappers and OVO
popped out, I'm the realest deal, best legal team so the deals is ill
It's Mac, OPI and a fragrance too
Apparel, I'm dominating every avenue
Copper stone, good view, lil gravel too
Gotta pay for the entourage travel too
Cause I'm fli-fli-flying high
Aint got time to talk, just Hi and bye
Baby you can ask me to take a break
I'll give it all away, don't care what the people say
I'll be a million, billion, trillion miles away
He asked my sign, I said a Sagg'
I'm a star, Sheriff badge,
Whats the point? If I'm guardin'
Double D up hoes, Dolly Parton
[Verse 1:]
Uh, when did you get like this
Least you coulda done is gone
an give me a warning
I don't regret like this
So I'll be right there when you
wake up in the morning
Saying, this just ain't my style
You can't say you're happy either
You don't even smile, for me
[Chorus:]
Did you agree, we should let it be
And did you agree, it's a must,
Let's call the whole thing off
We used to had enough of us
Let's call the whole thing off
We used to had enough of us
[Verse 2:]
When you decided to knock on my door
Did you remember what happened before
The look on your face said you
were expecting more
But some things look better inside of the store
[Chorus:]
Did you agree, we should let it be
And did you agree, it's a must,
Let's call the whole thing off
We used to had enough of us
Let's call the whole thing off
We used to had enough of us
[Verse 3:]
Leave me, leave me, I can't fuckin stand you
Wish I had the courage to say
everything I planned to
My girlfriend, my girlfriend,
call herself my girlfriend
Tell me that we posed to be
together til the world end
But, ion really feel that
I just really wanna turn the wheels back
Give you all ya sweaters and ya heels back
Convince you that time will heal that
Uh, you look for reasons for us to argue
I swear everytime I call
You jus tell me how I don't call you
Why you do that... do that... do that Yeah
[Chorus:]
Did you agree, we should let it be
And did you agree, it's a must,
Let's call the whole thing off
We used to had enough of us
Let's call the whole thing off
Uh huh, uh huh
Look
(Drake: Verse 1)
I let the beat bang
I don't claim colors
Honestly, the honesty is why the game love us
My women either centerfolds or on the main covers
Stunt so hard I make these niggas hate summer
And pray for winter
But when it's winter time
I'm still waitin' on these niggas at the finish line
We just took our first trip to the Amalfi Coast
Couple days on the beach
Then its adi�s
(Killa)
Just look at what I done alone
You would swear we planted trees the way the money's grown
We been busy like some bees, no honeycomb
And you could probably feel the breeze when the money's blown
Pardon my towel and flip flop phase
I never be the reason that a bitch got paid
Even when I'm not functioning in tip top shape
I could bench as much as hip hop weighs
Drizzy
(Drake chorus)
I'm tryina bring it home
Even if I gotta do it on my own
I'm a mufuckin
Killa
Killa
Killa
Killa
And I'm the one to blame
Now that I'm around
Shit'll never be the same
I'm a.
Killa
Killa
(Look)
Killa
Killa nigga
(Listen, look)
(Nipsey Hussle Verse 2)
Before rap,
My last name was my lifestyle
And when I visualize success
It look like right now
What was once gray skies
Is now white clouds
And I did it with the ones y'all said was not the right crowd
Follow my steps
And you see what I'm bout
I keep my money comin' in
And never goin' out
From Chuck Taylors on the pavement with the blammers out
Then I hit the league straight out the streets with no talent scout
And now my face bring the cameras out
That young nigga these industry bitches yap about
You know the one the cops bunk you up and ask about
All because I took my wildest dreams and then mapped 'em out
I go for mine like it's overtime
Me and my niggas had to struggle so we over-shine
Been fuck bitches
I been on my grind
'Cuz on a mission your worst enemy is idle time
Hussle
(Drake chorus)
I'm tryina bring it home
Even if I gotta do it on my own
I'm a mufuckin'
Killa
Killa
Killa
Killa
And I'm the one to blame
Now that I'm around
Shit'll never be the same
I'm a
Killa
Killa
Killa
Things have been so crazy and hectic, I should have got her back by now
But you know how much I wanted to make it, It's probably better anyhow
So if you gotta go, if there's anything I should know
If the spotlight makes you nervous
If you're looking for a purpose
You put the tea in the kettle and light it
Put your hand on the metal and feel it
But do you even feel it anymore?
I remember when you thought I was joking
Now I'm off singing karaoke
Farther than I've ever been
So if you gotta go, if there's any way I can help
Isn't it ironic that the girl I wanna marry is a wedding planner?
And tells me that my life is too much and moves to Atlanta?
Damn
Of all the places you could go
I just thought you'd choose somewhere that has somebody that you know
I'm always up too late, I worry about you there alone
And that place you call your home, warm nights and cold Patron
I hope you don't get known for nothing crazy
Cause no man ever wants to hear those stories about his lady
I know they say the first love is the sweetest
But that first cut is the deepest
I tried to keep us together, you were busy keeping secrets
Secrets, you were telling everybody but me
Don't be fooled by the money, I'm still just young and unlucky
I'm surprised you couldn't tell..
I was only trying to get ahead
I was only trying to get ahead
But the spotlight makes you nervous
And you're looking for a purpose
I was only trying to get ahead
I was only trying to get ahead
Now call me the joker
more like casanova, over
cause when i'm on the mic dude it's over
they say i'm off the chain
i'm more like of the meatier, the leader
i get these girls wet like aquafina
now stop, forget all the lies and the rumors
haters mad cause i'm on there mind like a tumor, for real
i stay on that 808 like kanye
game is like BK, cause i did it my way
fast like lightning,

stay on my cake like icing, bite me,
i might be the best musician that ever done it,
i run it like Usain Bolt i'm cold like i been buried in the snow with my
damn shirt on done killing these fools DJ cut the words off
ok my flows to sick,
somebody call a doctor
make real music and these others are imposters
life is like a movie dude i should win an oscar
got these rappers crying got 'em dreading like a roster
rap game master I will never fail cause this game is like school
my ryhmes are show and tell
these other rappers mute cause they ain't saying nothin
i'm superbad, get more action then Mc Lovin
try to start somthing y'all can never catch me i'm a hit up in the waist
till you peak in every class
get back when i rap fast cause you a backlash from the get past of a
get last like an outcast over my class and i'm so fast, so fast i'm on
top of my game that it make me mash
oh man, whos that,
best in the game with the (CLOTHE AND THE BAT)
i took a break but now i'm back
spit hot volume (SINCE HE'S BACK)
yall never never never never know
what the hell is going on
tell me who got better flow
i'm saying it i'll never go.
Alright the girls all screaming like when obama was elected
if girls are a disease then i must be i'm infected,
affected never been rejected,
girls say you got flaws but i am perfected
rhymes never stop it rappers want to top it
styles so clean Jay-Z want to jock me
what does it take for these rappers not to hate
been stuck to the game like i'm made of scotch tape
i don't mean to get you mad,
i'm just trying to state the truth
i'm attacking all of you, like i'm working for the troops
i don't mean to hurt you dude but i'm your boss now
all you haters stay back, cause it bin to go down
man i'm about to ride it anybody know me
i stay high off this game, til i'm about to OD
now call me a joker but this ain't no joke man so try to battle me,
[Gucci Mane]
I’m so fuckin dumb I wear diamonds on my thumbs,
there’s a diamond on my dick so there’s a diamond on her tongue,
i can’t feel you baby cause I romantically numb,
emotionally drained I came here just so I can come,
there’s nothing on the God son that I haven’t done,
I got a lot of problems, getting pussy just isn’t one,
girls are like buses every 15 min they run,
now they like potato chips I just can’t have one,
and I might like you for a minute,
but I don’t like your friends in my business,
and I feel like you don’t deserve a visit,
cause you ain’t in the kitchen when you want a whipping
[Drake] (Chorus)
uh, uh ahhhh,
I know you say you love me girl,
I know you say you love me girl,
problem is you prol tell that shit to everybody,
so we hear you talking boo but we just don’t believe you
uh, ok I’m all about it, all for it,
I’m all star team Jordan, small forward,
I’m never putting up a shot unless it calls for it,
no hesitation so I’m shooting if i draw for it,
how how (?) fuck is up, now man I’m in this hoe,
life is moving fast, where the fuck do all these minutes go,
mixtape dropped then I started getting 10 a show,
now I get a hundred what the fuck you think I’m in it for,
Young money forever, i bet Gudda, Jay and Mack agree,
fuck you to the haters that just spend their time attacking me,
shout out to your girlfriend nigga lately she distracting me,
wondering if I’m the best, Well-I-am, no Black Eyed Peas,
girls wanna f-ck your niggas, guy don’t wanna be you,
lining up around the block so that they can get to see you,
I feel like I find a wife exactly when I need to,
so you can say whatever girl but we just don’t believe you,
[Chorus]
[Sean Garrett]
Ain’t that your girl,
ain’t that your money,
ain’t you the same nigga that say she want you that you funny,
ain’t you a gangsta, yeah funny,
you gave em funny, gave you to you, fucking dummy,
classic line, bitches run like buses,
gucci say niggas asking why, why you with my girl,
she let me get it nigga,
she ain’t stupid, go turn up your radio,
I’m the next young Lionel Richie,
i gives a fuck about doing a fucking cameo,
we don’ love em, we don’ love em, we don’ love em, NO!
they just love us, they just love us, cos we stack them O’s
cos we whip it, watch her whip it when she whip it all
thats gon hit, once they mention catching feelings two word don’t go
[Drake]
Uh UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I know you say you love me girrrrrrrrrrl,
I know you say you love me girrrrrrrrrrl,
PROBLEM IS YOU PROL TELL THAT SHIT TO EVERYBODY,
Yeah, I appreciate your patience tonight
It’s been a moment since I done some public speaking
I find nowadays its best to keep quiet
But Uh
Sometimes you just gotta let it out
Young Angel and Young Lion
You know What I is
Ughh Look
I’m the property of October
I ain’t drive here
I got chauffeured
Bring me champagne flutes, rose and some shots over
I think better when I’m not sober
I Smoke goodie no glaucoma
I’m a stock holder
Private flights back home
No stop over
Still spittin’ that shit that they shot Pac over
The shit my mother looked shocked over
Haha Yeah
What a canvas
I’m the group of 7
Migraine, take 2 Excedrin
I’m the one twice over
I’m the new 11
And if I die
I’m do it reppin’
I never do it second
I swear niggaz be eyeing me all hard
And lying to their girls
And drivin’ the same cars
Sittin’ there,
Wishing their problems became ours
Cuz we have nothing in common
Since I done became star
I done became bigger
Swervin’ right into my peer’s lanes
Same dudes that used to holler my engineer’s name
One touch
I could make the drapes and the sheers change
And show me the city
That I without fear claim
What I set seems to never extinguish
Coolest kid out baby
Word to Chuck Inglish
Count my own money
See the paper cut fingers
My song is your girlfriend’s wakin’ up ringer
Haha
Or alarm or whatever
She be here 6 in the morn
If I let her
But I never get attracted to fans
Cuz a eager beaver
Could be the collapse of a dam
Always knew that I could figure
How to get these label heads to offer him good figures
And me doing the shows
Getting everyone nervous
Cuz them hipsters gone have to get along with them hood niggaz
Its all good
I’m going off like lights when the shows’ over
Make Pasta rent a movie called Hoes over
Rest in peace to Heath Ledger
But I’m no Joker
I’ll slow roast ya
Got no holster
Wet glass on your table nigga
No coaster
Burn bread everyday boy
No toaster
G & Terrence got a cig
But I’m no smoker
They just handed chips to me nigga
No poker
I’m with a young money cash money soldier
My cup runneth over
The same niggas I ball with
I fall with
On some southern draw shit
Rookie of the year
06, Chris Paul shit
D.R., CJ & Po
I see y’all
These cases don’t work out
I hope we can agree on
Makin enough to pay any judge Judy off
First thing I’m a do is
Free Weezy

And I’ll take probation
I don’t want that T.I. and Vick vacation
Private plane
Pick location
I’m going to the bank
To make a big donation
Yeah
I don’t stunt
I stunt hard
And If the food ain’t on the stove
I hunt for it
But in the mean time
You can call me Young Roy Jones Junior
Fightin’ the drugs and gun charges
Shit
Don’t leave me unguarded
And I’m a cheese head
Word to Vince Lambardy
Word to Marky Mark
Leave a snitch departed
All that blood like the red sea parted
My gun go crazy like its retarded
Red light on it like its recordin’
I ain’t recordin’
I’m Just C-4ing
My currency foreign
We are in
A league they aren’t
Better dig in your pocket
And pay homage
Better cover your eyes
Your face fallin’
Watch the game from the side
I’m play callin’
No, I didn’t say that I’m flawless

Damn sure don’t tarnish
My pistol got comments
For your garments

Her days are over. Baby she’s over
I’ve decided to give you all of me
Baby come closer, baby come closer
I’m ready for ya!
Kill ‘em all, switch it up
Put it on, zip it up
Let my perfume, soak in in your sweater
You say you’ll be here soon, sooner the better
No option for her, you sayin’ no
I run this game, just play your role
Follow my lead, whatchu waitin’ fo’?
Thought it over and decided tonight is the night
(Background voice)
Yeah I hear you talkin’, don’t know who you tryin’ to flatter
Got my mind made up. I-I-I’m ready for ya
I’m in control, but with you bein’ a man
You don’t seem to understand that I-I-I’m ready for ya
I-I-I’m ready for ya
I-I-I’m ready for ya
So keep thinkin’ you the man
‘Cause it’s all part of my plan
I-I-I’m ready for ya
Nothin’ on, I strut around
I do it big, I shut it down
I wonder if you’ll be able to handle me
Mental picture, no cameras please
(Background voice)
[Drake - Verse]
Uh, red lipstick on the wine glass cameras in my mind,
Flash, black lines aray white diamonds, what a contrast,
I know you get impatient as the time pass, you say you want it fast,
Define fast, cause I can speed it up, and make it last
And I could audition for this, and I could be part of the cast
And I could produce for your future, I could co-direct your past,
And make damn sure you never forget it, commited, im ready, im with it
Still here like a statue, pink champagne, green ink in your tattoos,
You say you got bagges, well im packed too, plus I got a sex pistol,
Pointed right at you “BAM!”, the baddest women ever in the heart of south,
Proven over and over again thats why im hard to doubt, plus im
Young money ’till the death, I took the carter out
Im more than ready too, hope of something that you thought about
(Drake: )
Kush roll,
Glass full,
I prefer the better things,
N***a's with no money act like money isn't everything,
I'm having a good time,
They just trying to ruin it,
Shout out to the fact that I'm the youngest n***a doing it,
Cap on,
Brim bend, Denzel every time,
She ain't trying pop that s**t for pimp,
Okay well never mind,
I... tried to told you drizzy still ain't nothing nice,
Braces saying you should quit, (?)
Cars saying f**k your life,
Okay, now we outta here,
Toddles to you bi****s,
And if you dolled up,
I got the vudu for you bi****s,
Yeah... I'm busy getting rich,
I don't want trouble,
I made enough for two n***a's
Boy, stunt double,
Famous like a drug,
That I've taking to much of,
But I never ever trip,
Just peace, happiness, and love,
I got money in these jeans,
So they fit me kind of snub,
Plus the game is in my pocket,
N***a, this is what i does
(Chorus: )
I'm about whatever man,
F**k what they be talking bout,
They ain't playing; doesn't count, (?)
We the only thing that matters,
So we do it how we do it,
All up in yo' face,
Man I hate to put you threw it,
I be up all night,
Whole crews in here,
Cause I don't really know who I'mma lose this year,
Oh...

(Nicki Minaj: )
Yo...

Which b**** you know made a million off of mixtapes,
That was just a keep sake,
Brought the president the louis presidential briefcase,
Never been a cheap skate,

Man for Pete's sake...
Scratch that sweep stakes,
F**k I look like h-e,

Y'all don't really like me,

I still fly, you can't float,

i write your favorite records are you seein' ghosts,
20 thousand for a verse is our routine quote,
I'm getting rich are you stayin broke,
chillin even if Im in a goose down coat,
I cant see you through a Mosley Tribes
soi don't even flinch when you throw me high fives,
they try to measure up but there is no one my size,
whatever 40 smoking about to lower my eyes,
beast mode on em, I never take a night off,
every single thing a n-gga purchase is a write off,
grounded as the runway pavement I take the flight off,
baby go ahead and cut the light off, cuz it's about to go,
[Chorus]
[Kevin Cossom]
I'm the rookie of the year (year)
about to get my dough on,
im about to take off, baby you should hold on,

Imma show off, like im supposed to,
yeah you can get lost, i don't know you,
[Drake]
i hear my phone ringing when you call,
i aint picking up an' entertaining them at all,
got your girl face down banging on the wall,
while you and all your homeboys hang at Lenox Mall
hmm, hmm, hmmm,
i cannot relate,
riding with some tags that i got from outta state,
riding with a swag that I got from outta space,
just show me who's the hottest imma knock em outta place,
call me homicide drizzy about to kill your ego,
im about my green puffing guddi like im Cee-Lo
you can go and take a glance at your hero,
while a Houston stripper dance pole dance in zero,
fantasy to you, reality to me,
and my g-pass is as valid as can be,
im, im so fresh the stylist would agree,
waving at your girl while she smiling back at me like..
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
Baby,

[drake]
all my exes live in texas like i'm george strait
or they go to georgia state where-
tuition is handled by some random nigga that live in atlanta
that she only see when she feels obligated
admitted it to me the first time we dated
but she was no angel, and we never waited
i took her for sushi, she wanted to fuck
so we took it to go, told them don't even plate it
and we never talk too much after i blew up
just only 'hello' or 'happy belated'
and i think i text her and told her i made it
and that's when she text me and told me she prayed it
and that's when i text her and told her i love it
and right after texting, told her i'm faded
she asked
what have i learned since getting richer
i learned working with the negatives could make for better pictures
i learned hennessy and enemies is one hell of a mixture
even though it's fucked up, girl, i'm still fucking wit ya
damn, is it the fall
time for me to revisit the past
it's women to call
there's albums to drop, there's liquor involved
there's stories to tell, we been through it all
interviews are like confessions
get the fuck up out my dressing room, confusing me with
questions
like:
[bridge: lil wayne]
do you love this shit?
are you high right now?
do you ever get nervous?
are you single?
i heard you fucked your girl, is it true?
you getting money? you think them niggas you with is wit' you?
and i say
(and i say) hell yeah
hell yeah, hell yeah
fuckin' right
fuckin' right, all right
(and we say) hell yeah
hell yeah, hell yeah
fuckin' right
fuckin' right, all right
[lil wayne]
so much for being optimistic
they say love is in the air, so i
hold my breath until my face turn purple
keep a few bad bitches in my circle
my nuts hang like ain't no curfew
bitch if you wave, then i will surf you
i flew jet, she flew commercial
but we still met, later that night
after my session, she came over
i was aggressive, and she was sober
i gave her pills
she started confessing and started undressing
and ask me to hold her
and so i did, but that was last month
and now she's texting me, asking for closure
damn
she say this shit gon' catch up to me
i keep tissue paper
we eat each other whenever we at the dinner table
she say she hate that she love me
and she wish i was average
shit, sometimes i wish the same
and i wish she wasn't married
promises, i hope i never break 'em
met a female dragon, had a fire conversation but
interviews are like confessions
get the fuck up out my bedroom confusing me with questions
like[bridge]
do you love this shit?
are you high right now?
do you ever get nervous?
are you single?
i heard you fucked your girl, is it true?
you getting money? you think them niggas you with is wit' you?
[hook]

damn right, all right
Hey there, pretty girl, you know exactly what you got
And I don't blame you at all, you can't resist it
Especially when the lights so bright and the money so right
And it's comin' in every single night
She don't wanna leave, she just stuck in
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlantavegas
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlanta, she just stuck in
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlantavegas
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlantavegas
And she dance to this song
And she dance to this song and it go
Hey, now, now, watch her go down, oh
She doesn't ever worry
If she wants it she'll get it on her own
She knows there's more to life
And she's scared of ending up alone
Throw your ones up in the air
Throw your ones up in the air for her
Throw your ones up in the air
'Cause the ones you throw will get her out of
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlantavegas
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlanta, she just stuck in
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlantavegas
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlantavegas
And she dance to this song
And she dance to this song and it goes
Hey, now, now, watch her go down, oh
We all got dreams and we all star reaching
All star peaking, all star weekend
One hotel room and all y'all sleeping
Housekeeping knock to see if all y'all decent
Young girls envy the life y'all leading
Never satisfied with a nice calm evening
You be at the games looking right all season
But you always with me on the night y'all leaving
Ass low, ass low, I always request you
You go get fucked up and we just show up at your rescue
Carry you inside, get you some water and undress you
I give you my all and the next morning you'll forget who
Or why or how or when
Tonight is probably about to happen all over again
And she live in a mindset that I could never move to
Until you find yourself it's impossible to lose you
Because I never had you although I would be glad to
I probably go and tattoo your name on my heart
I swear, I start to think that I'm going crazy
Throw your ones up in the air
Throw your ones up in the air for her
Throw your ones up in the air
'Cause the ones you throw will get her out of
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlantavegas
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlanta, she just stuck in
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlantavegas
Houstatlantavegas, Houstatlantavegas
And she dance to this song
And she dance to this song and it goes
[Verse 1]
I might be too strung out on compliments
Overdosed on confidence
Started not to give a fuck, and stop fearing the consequence
Drinking every night, because we drink to my accomplishments
Faded way too long, I'm floating in and out of consciousness
And they saying I'm back, I agree with that
I just take my time with all this shit, I still believe in that
I had someone tell me I fell off, ooh I needed that
And they want to see me pick back up, well, where'd I leave it at
I know I exaggerated things now I got it like that
Tuck my napkin in my shirt, cause I'm just mobbin like that
You know good and well that you don't want a problem like that
You gone make someone around me catch a body like that
No, don't do it, please don't do it
Cause one of us goes in, then we all go through it
Drizzy got the money, so Drizzy gone pay it
Those my brothers I ain't even gotta say it
That's just something they know
[Chorus]
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
Yeah, they know, yeah
That the real is on the rise, fuck them other guys
I even gave them a chance to decide, now it's something they know
They know, they know, they know
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I be yelling out money over everything, money on my mind
Then she want to ask when it got so empty
Tell her I apologize, happened over time
She says they miss the old Drake, girl don't tempt me
If they don't get it, they'll be over you
That new shit that you got is overdue
You better do what you supposed to do
I'm like why I got to be all that but still I can't deny the fact
That it's true, listening to you expressing all them feelings
Soap opera rappers, all these niggas sound like All My Children
And that's who you thinking is 'bout to come and make a killing
I guess it really is just me, myself, and all my millions
You know that they ain't even got it like that
You gonna hype me up and make me catch a body like that
Cause I live for this, it isn't just a hobby like that
When they get my shit and play it, I ain't even got to say it, they know
[Chorus]
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
Yeah, they know, yeah
That the real is on the rise, fuck them other guys
I even gave them a chance to decide, now it's something they know
They know, they know, they know
[Verse 3]
I be yelling out money over everything, money on my mind
(Mind, mind, mind)
Tell them I apologize, It happened over time
(Time, time, time, time)
She says kiss me like you miss me, f*ck me like you hate me
And when you’re fucking someone else just f*ck her like she ain't me
Damn, those words are scary, those words are scary virgin Mary
I just tell her to spare me
I was in love two years ago and gave the baggage to my ex
It’s all for her to carry, bags she deserve to carry
I hate that ho, I make it so hard just to talk, don’t I
I get off topic don’t I
I get it poppin’ don’t I
I’ll end up stopping won’t I
And by the time I end up stopping
You’ll be rocking one of the rings you pointed out while shopping with a nigga don’t lie
She’s losing it right now, cause if I wasn't who I am, she would've been moving in right now
But instead we're moving slow
I guess she's used to it by now
And she gives me all her trust and I'm abusing it right now
But this money coming in is just confusing shit right now
You just told me I ain't shit and I guess I'm proving it right now
[Hook]
I say I'd rather be with you but you are not around
So I'mma call somebody up and see if they be down
Cause I hate sleeping alone, I hate sleeping alone
Half the time we don't end up f*cking, I don't ask her for nothing
You leave me in the morning, I don't see her for months
But I just hate sleeping alone, I hate sleeping alone
So she’s here and we're both so gone
Hotel to hotel, girl
I could use your company
Full name and birthday, I book a flight, you come to me
But she don't want a weekend
She wants all of me or none of me
If she can't work with all of me then she say she done with me
You say that you over me you always end up under me
You know how it goes
Don't be crazy, don't play dumb with me
Don't start with yo shit
I put you back in yo place
She tells me "I bet you won't, you won't say that to my face"
And hang up yeah, how dare you tell me it's tougher for you
Like I don't hear about the niggas you fucking with, too
And whoever I be with, they got nothing on you
That's just something to do when there's nothing to do
Yeah, but she's losing it right now
She has choices she should make I think she's choosing it right now
One more chance to make it right, I think I'm using it right now
You just said I never learn I guess I'm proving it right now
[Hook]
I say I'd rather be with you but you are not around
So I'mma call somebody up and see if they be down
Cause I hate sleeping alone, I hate sleeping alone
Half the time we don't end up f*cking, I don't ask her for nothing
You leave me in the morning, I don't see her for months
But I just hate sleeping alone, I hate sleeping alone
Uh, I am a distraction,
comin from my spot and I dont signal as I back in.
If cash is beautiful then money is attraction
then I should be a motherfuckin’ centerfold of maxim.
Open to my page and admire my desire,
frequent flyer I aspire to retire,
my voice stands alone if I’m with the chior,
got a Cannon on my hip but nigga this is not Mariah.
Na, this the record killer for hire.
I sleep and eat with the weapon, the beat is all i require,
Look i created despite the nigga that hated, every single bar gettin first forty-eighted
in the state of euphoria feelin so sedated.
The me and bitch the same were feel so related,
foresthill in stated or denniscaded(?)
I put a thousand on it, I could prolly fuck the waitress.
So wait just take this,
One lie at a time, make sure it makes sense
White cup, orange pop Tennessee state shit
drop a four winning and then appreciate The Greatness, nigga haha
Yeah,
I wrote this verse sittin in my new car,
sometimes where you headed is too far,
It’s more about where you are.
and I am, everywhere where you wish you could be
Somebody somewhere just really understood me
lyrics courtesy of killer hip hop dot com
Yeah, I dream big, no false hope
My other niggas move keys, no off notes
But understand rich is a how were all ending up,
I’m at the label in the elevator,
I'on think they really ready for my wardrobe
I show up right before the store close
And blow the fee from my last four shows
I do one song and use four flows
She use to be a Christian before...
now all she wanna do is shop for Christian Dior clothes,
Like baby those are cute I adore those
Me and the salesman build a reproso
He understands tha fact that I'm spending off shore dough
Cash only transactions, homie,
And please no receipts the feds like to explore those
They can't audit if they don't know I bought it
I been doin'it for years homie, thoroughly I've thought it
Through, what it do, I am currently recorded on a track admitting most of my currency's imported
But too late now, too legitimate to hit 'em with
Lawsuits even if they're crimes that I did commit
Repeat offender, Anita Baker, playin' in the whip as they pull me over my sweet surrender
I got a Jewish lawyer as my lead defender
A mitchkeit as they say he's a legal bender
And ATF is present every regal memeber
The coalition, we so efficient
You have to be invited or there's no admission
We know tradition
We spend money so don't try to compete if you're in no position
I wish you would listen,
I take you back to this trial
Where I am about to be home again like New Edition
My foot is just solely meant for the shoe it fits in
Used to record in a basement that Rennie Grew was piffin'
When pops turned over keys like a new ignition
If Hov is Jordan, I guess I'm cool with Pippen
'til I mention that I wanna play a new position
No team playin', no screen settin'
Because I wanna win games, coach I'm through assistin'
The take over, the break's over, nigga
And I'm a keep killin' em until the day that Drake's over
The wait's over, the tape's coming
They bullshittin' but I am equipped with great plumbing
The human mentality so eager to hate something
I try to play it off like it ain't jumpin'
And this the predicament that you found Drake in
The condo that I just purchased sound vacant
'cause I have just been sittin' in this cell
Thinkin' what I coulda done to make my first video ground breaking
And whenever I'm flowing on the mic,
Aside from talkin' 'bout the d I'm throwin' in ya' wife
I treat this one session as if it were my last
And I pretend tomorrow is the day I'm going in for life, like that
(Drake speaking)
Uh yeah I tell you like sometimes i come in here
put a beat on i mean its just me and 40 you know what im sayin couple drinks,smokin some of that goodie
you know i come in here like im about to go away tommorrow,25-30 years im talkin bout
come in here like its the last rhyme im bout to spit and after this i never get to record again you know what im sayin
I think about what everybody's done for me and anything i ever accomplished myself and i just go and thats it,that why i called this joint Going in for life
thats how i feel sometimes,I don't even know what else to say
Yeahhh,
Tay you know, you know I told you many time you my favorite rapper right?
Ima start this off like you would do it
Shout out to DJ respect
Octobers Own!
Drizzy!
hehe
Here I go!
Look, I stands out
Dont think this aint some shit that I done planned out
And life is beatiful as ever when it pans out
And girls are beautiful until they want a hand out
But Huh-
Ask Apple how I get it though,
I be on the phone with a bitch that you will never know
So you can son me never,
I dont get bitter, I just get beetteer
And the Verse is just a verse of me,
I keep it generic and these niggas take it personally,
If I was in a room and someone yelled 'Hey Bitches'
I would never turn around cuz I just dont fit the descriiptiiiion (Breath)
But thats just me though,
Dont mind him girl that just freako
Please dont cuss girl, that dont suit ya'
His name forty and his name fuuutaaa'
All of us here and you know me hoe,
Im the cash count front man of O.V.O.
I am not doing features now no means no
And the hate starts building the more we grow
Damn shame am I over expressing the game
Should I hold back on addressing the lane
Cuz they becoming obsessed with my name
Im trynna clear up the mess and explain
And boy you know my progression insane
My engineer is the best in the game
And ever since I been messin wit wayne
People gettin jealous I can see they expressions have changed
They seemed to love me when the shit was goin no where
An now they gotta buncha feelins that they wont share
They just gimmie the "fuck it Im broke" stare
Drake was at the club an he balled like no hair
Livin life from a whole different angle
Only see the road through the wings of an angel
And I can see the heart on ya sleeve
And I know this shit is hard to believe
You gon have to get over it
And all you talking ass niggas get over it
And all you people that be hatin get over it
And all you women that I fucked get over it
And yeah Im turnin 22 get over it
You know you gotta hear my records get over it
My whole team gettin rich get over it
I got the city on my back get over it
get over it, get over iiittt
hahaha ehh

Here I go. Im a rapper turned singer. And you can tell that he smoke, but I don't need my vocal cords all I hit is C-Notes.
N.E.R.D flow, i spaz if im prevoked
I'm about to change the fuckin game, pass the re-mote.
Money is everythang, and its every other thing.
I'm part of the choir, its the motto that my brotha sang.
Cash is the right now, women are the post game.
Money-over-bitches dot com check the domain.
It's comin too soon, album on the way.
People ask me if I pray, I say yup, once in the blue moon.
Oops I mean a red moon... I did it again to 'em.
Let me leave a space in for your blood affiliation.
I say, heavy metaphors, flow so over weight.
I can rap around these other youngins like a cobra snake.
Frost bite drizzy nigga, no body as cold as Drake.
Keep yo ass in-line, don't be tryin to roller skate.
Fuck all the discreet shit, I get on some deep shit.
I am twenty-one tell me who do I compete with?
I'm on my elite shit, you can tell I'm real cause I'm getting hood lovin I ain't even talkin' street shit.
Young angel, young lyin and I'm done tryin.
I'm just doin, who's drinkin cause I'm buyin.
It's on meee, everything is on meee.
And my girl is still down like she's fuckin john B
And when I go dumb, I tend to do dumb shit
I just listen back and now I'm sounding like a trumpet.
This is for all the stripper cause I know that they gonna bump it tellem back it up and dump it, back it, back it up and dump it.
Ain't no pistols here, yo money will disappear.
My accountant will feed his family off my fiscal year.
Text brackets and back and forth faxes
My money comin full circle, get up on my axis.
Maybe Imma kill 'em, only cause I promised
They think I'm being cocky but I'm only being honest.
I'm swallowin the goose, got a model gettin loose, and I never party unless I got some bottles and a booth.
I just walk up on the scene, I'm about to take this, I'm just having patience cause I want it to make sense.
White cup, orange pop, Tennessee state shit, drop a fo in it and appreciate the greatness.. DRAKE!
Wayne: Yeah, p-p-pass the dro. I am such a beast and you ask them hoes. And they might even say you should leave me alone.
Homie scared. Cause they just like me
Stuntin' is a habit, get it from my daddy.
Just like Shaggy I toat dat boom bastic
I'm a rude bastard, I don't give a fuck bout ya'll
I ain't talkin moths but you can pluck my balls
And yes I'm falling but up I fall and if ya bitch in heat she can fuck my dog.
I went from penny pinchin to private planes.
Never sat on any benches, I got in games.
Starter carter ball harder, ten girls penthouse suit ya'll order.
Whatever ya'll please.. wine crackers and cheese.
They take off their clothes and put on my t's.
This supplement im on got me feeling mighty
My gun and money don't split call that shit Siamese.
My watch make the frickin' time freeze.
Yah girl bless me she suck my dick when I sneeze.
Cheap ass apartment, just the kitchen I need.
And eighteen G's is why the chicken cross the street.
Whatchya know about it my niggas so about it.
If we kill everybody they can't go to court about it.
Weezy I ignore the liars, baby I ignite the fire, I am like a Michael Myers, leave your body in the dryer.
Got the shoty on the side of me, my bad boys follow me.
Im a bad boy obviously, pop one at your ivy league
I dont have a rivalry if so you will have a casualty, oops I meant a casualty, oops I meant catastrophy, oops I meant actually.
You niggas is just ass to me, and big wet pussy is more like what I'm rathering.
Welcome to the gathering, welcome to the burying, or I hang ya on the wall like an art gallery.
You got short salary, and I got long money, I got cash money, I got young money.. bitch...
Dj Drama: See I told ya'll it'd be well worth the wait right?
Tat my name on you girl so I know its real
Tat my fucking name on you so I know its real
[Verse 1]
Tell a bad bitch girl, lets go hang
You know me, rolex, gold chain
Fuck my young niggas, XO gang
Get so drunk you forget yo name
Incense, burning, smoking out to my own shit
Got black wood in my white Range, Im taking off when that light change
Im Drizzy Drake to my old bitches, Voodoo child to my new hoes
I miss this and I want it back, So Im all in with these new flows
New flows, got new flows, rap is stress but it pays great
Pimp flows ‘n screw flows, my shit be sounding like grape tapes, now
Lemme go an hit that cup, 1 time before a nigga hit that road
These days keep going by too fast, so give anything that make shit go slow
Yea, money in my safe, but I’m living dangerous
They told me shit would change, but I don’t really see no change in us
[Hook]
Tat my name on you so I know its real
Tat my fucking name on you so I know its real
I know it hurts, But I aint tryna hear it
‘Cause when Im not around, I’ll still be there in spirit
You’ll still be mine, yea, you’ll still be mine
Tat my fucking name on you, when I go you’ll still be mine, yea
You’ll still be mine, yea, I’ll still be yours
Tat my fucking name on you, let em know you love the boy, wassup
[Verse 2]
I fondle the money, fornicate with a fortune
I play with her mind, she masturbate with my Porsche
Its simple love, it’s simple love
Her chest nice, not a wrinkle on her ass
Puffin’ purple hash welcome to my power circle
Sucker free, no snitching, and we know when cowards working
Rolls Royce rollin’, rose gold rollie’s
MBA accountants, amounts they get (?)
But mama still praying for her rubberband man
When them wheels land, Travis Barker drums playin’
Tap dance to my drum roll, I love a bitch that know to keep me one rolled
[Hook: Drake]
Tat my name on you so I know its real
Tat my fucking name on you so I know its real
I know it hurts, But I aint tryna hear it
‘Cause when Im not around, I’ll still be there in spirit
You’ll still be mine, yea, you’ll still be mine
Tat my fucking name on you, when I go you’ll still be mine, yea
You’ll still be mine, yea, I’ll still be yours
Tat my fucking name on you, let em know you love the boy, wassup
[Verse 3]
I dont have to work in the morning so I always stay for 1 more
Fuck what they say, Im telling you theres no side effects Im sure
Went from driving up on some old shit, to drivers opening doors
This is my town, if you need something just ask for its yours
Yea, ask for its yours, if you ask for it its done
I could Western Union some money, get your passport and then come
You’ll meet everybody I know, at first it might seem like a lot
But they’re all playing their role, Put that on everything that I got
And all I care about is my city, man I cant say it enough
I done heard things about y’all that they cant say about us
I just hold it down for my side, I just hold it down for my sect
I give everybody a piece of this, and I make due whats left
Yea I do this shit to the death, yea I do this shit till Im gone
Yea, I told you that its our world, and you’re foolish thinking Im wrong
Stop asking how the fucking needle feel, tat my fucking name on you, let these niggas know its real, wassup
[Hook]
Tat my name on you so I know its real
Tat my fucking name on you so I know its real
I know it hurts, But I aint tryna hear it
‘Cause when Im not around, I’ll still be there in spirit
You’ll still be mine, yea, you’ll still be mine
Tat my fucking name on you, when I go you’ll still be mine, yea
You’ll still be mine, yea, I’ll still be yours
Featuring: Lil' Wayne, Kanye West
It may not mean nothing to y'all
But understand, nothing was done for me
So I don't plan on stopping at all
I want this shit forever mine, ever mine, ever mine
I shutting shit down in the mall
And telling every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even planning to call
I want this shit forever mine, ever mine, ever mine, ever mine
Last name ever, first name greatest
Like a sprained ankle, boy I ain't nothing to play with
Started off local, but thanks to all the haters
I know G4 pilots on a first name basis
And your city faded off to brown, Nino
She insists she got mo' class, we know
Swimmin' in the money, come and find me, Nemo
If I was at the club you know I ball, chemo
Drop the mixtape, that shit sounded like an album
Who'd've thought a countrywide tour would be the outcome
Labels want my name beside the X like Malcolm
Everybody got a deal, I did it without one
Yeah nigga, I'm about my business
Killing all these rappers, you would swear I had a hit list
Everybody who doubted me is asking for forgiveness
If you ain't been a part of it, at least you got to witness
Bitches
It may not mean nothing to y'all
But understand nothing was done for me
So I don't plan on stopping at all
I want this shit forever mine, ever mine, ever mine
I shutting shit down in the mall
And telling every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even planning to call
I want this shit forever mine, ever mine, ever mine
Hey, ever, ever, Mr. West is in the building
Ain't no question who we're about to kill
I used to have hood dreams, big fame, big chains
I stuck my dick inside this life until that bitch came
I went hard all fall like the ball teams
Just so I can make it rain all spring
Y'all seen my story, my glory
I had raped the game young, you could call it statutory
When a nigga blow up, they come build statues from me
Old money Benjamin Button, what, nuttin'
Now super bad chicks giving me McLovin'
You would think I ran the world like Michelle's husband
You would think these niggas know me when they really doesn't
Like they was down with the old me, no you fucking wasn't
You are such a fucking loser
He didn't even go to class, Bueller
Trade the Grammy plaques just to have my granny back
Remember she had that bad hip like a fanny pack
Chasing that stardom would turn you into a maniac
All the way in Hollywood, and I can't even act
They pull their cameras out, and God damn they snap
I used to want this thing forever, y'all can have it back
It may not mean nothing to y'all
But understand nothing was done for me
So I don't plan on stopping at all
I want this shit forever mine, ever mine, ever mine
I shutting shit down in the mall
And telling every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even planning to call
I want this shit forever mine, ever mine, ever mine
Okay, hello it's da Martian, Space Jam Jordans
I want this shit forever, wake up and smell the garden
Fresher than the harvest, step up to the target
If I had one guess, then I guess I'm just New Orleans
And I would never stop like I'm running from the cops
Hopped up in my car and told my chauffeur, "To the top"
Life is such a fucking roller coaster, then it drops
But what should I scream for, this is my theme park
My mind shine even when my thoughts seem dark
Pistol on my side, you don't wanna hear that thing talk
Let the king talk, check the price and pay attention
Lil Wayne, that's what they got to say or mention
I'm like Nevada in the middle of the summer
I'm resting in the lead, I need a pillow and a cover
Shh, my foot's sleeping on the gas
No brake pads, no such thing as last
It may not mean nothing to y'all
But understand nothing was done for me
So I don't plan on stopping at all
I want this shit forever mine, ever mine, ever mine
I shutting shit down in the mall
And telling every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even planning to call
I want this shit forever mine, ever mine, ever mine
There they go, back in stadiums as Shady spits his flow
Nuts they go, macadamia, they go so ballistic, whoa
We can make them look like Bozos
He's wondering if he should spit this slow
Fuck no! Go for broke
His cup just runneth over, oh no
He ain't had a real buzz like this since the last time that he overdosed
They been waiting patiently for Pinocchio to poke his nose
Back into the game, and they know
Rap will never be the same as before
Bashing in the brains of these hoes
And establishing a name as he goes
The passion and the flame is ignited
You can't put it out once we light it
This shit is exactly what the fuck that I'm talking about when we riot
You dealin' with a few true villains
Who stand inside of the booth truth spillin'
And spit true feelings until our tooth fillings
Come flying up out of our mouths, now rewind it!
Payback muthafucka for the way that you got at me
So how's it taste?
When I slap the taste outta your mouth
With the bass so loud that it shakes the place
I'm Hannibal Lecter, so just in case
You're thinking of saving face
You ain't gonna have no face to save
By the time I'm through with this place, so Drake
It may not mean nothing to y'all
But understand nothing was done for me
So I don't plan on stopping at all
I want this shit forever mine, ever mine, ever mine
I shutting shit down in the mall
And telling every girl she the one for me
And I ain't even planning to call
Drake
Money just changed everything, I wonder how life without it would go
From the concrete who knew that a flower would grow
Lookin' down from the top and its crowded below
My fifteen minutes started an hour ago
Truth over fame, you know I respect the blatant shit
When I hear talkin, I just dont know what to make of it
Hate is so familiar to me, I'm slowly embracing it
Doesn't come natural, bear with me it could take a bit
Yeah, and my dreams are who I'm racing with
You can see Im pacin it so that Im always chasin it
Wayne put me right here, that's who I get the paper with
I hope that my success never alters our relationship
Yeah, this life is something I would die for
Octobers Own, but its lookin like July 4
I just wish they'd let you try it first
This time I'm really goin off, fireworks
Chorus
Drake
Oh, today it begins
I've missed them before, but won't miss them again
I keep having the same dream
And I think that I just realized what it means
Alicia Keys
All I see is fireworks,
All i see is fireworks
Every night it's fireworks
Every night it's fireworks
All i see is fireworks
All i see is fireworks
Taking off like fireworks
Taking off like oh-ah-oh-oh
Drake
I'm just such a gentleman you should give it up for me
look at how I'm placing all my napkins and my cutlery
I can tell it wasn't love I just thought you fuck with me
who coulda predicted love could strike now you stuck with me (?)
Damn I kept my wits about me luckily
what happened between us that night it always seems to trouble me
now all of a sudden these gossip brags wanna cover me
and you making it seem that it happened that way because of me
but I was curious and I'll never forget it baby
what an experience you coulda been the one but it wasn't that serious
their was smoke in the air before now its me clearing it
that felt good, all and all I learned a lesson from it though
you never see it coming you just get to see it go
yeah, I shoulda looked up in the sky at first
now I can see it in her eyes
Fireworks!
Chorus
Drake
Oh, today it begins
I've missed them before, but won't miss them again
I keep having the same dream
And I think that I just realized what it means
Alicia Keys
All I see is fireworks,
All i see is fireworks
Every night it's fireworks,
Every night it's fireworks
All i see is fireworks
All i see is fireworks
Taking off like fireworks
Taking off like oh-ah-oh-oh
Drake
Everything the same but it feels different
my dad called me up knowing that I still listen
and he's still got his foot out, guilt trippin'
It's been years, though, I just learn to deal with it
For real, me and my realtor we built up a better rapport
got my mother in a place with some better decor
she searched the entire city I let her explore
ant now she's sayin' she more lonely than every before
How many of our parents' marriages lasted?
I was only 5, I bet I barely reacted
I'm flying back home for the heritage classic
searchin for that feeling, tell me where is the magic?
let's stay together 'til we're ghosts
I want to witness love, I never seen it close
yeah, but I guess I gotta find it first
that's why I'm really going off, Fireworks
Chorus
Drake
Oh, today it begins
I've missed them before, but won't miss them again
I keep having the same dream
And I think that I just realized what it means
Alicia Keys
All I see is fireworks,
All I see is fireworks
Every night it's fireworks,
Every night it's fireworks
All I see is fireworks
All I see is fireworks
Taking off like fireworks
I'm more than just an option, hey, hey, hey
Refuse to be forgotten, hey, hey, hey
I took a chance with my heart, hey, hey, hey
And I feel it takin' over
I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
I bet if I give all my lovin', nothin's gonna tear us apart
I'm than just a number, hey, hey, hey
I doubt you'll find another, hey, hey, hey
So every single summer, hey, hey, hey
I be the one that you remember
I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
I bet if I give all my lovin', nothin's gonna tear us apart
It's more than just a mission, hey, hey, hey
You hear but you don't listen, hey, hey, hey
You better pay attention, hey, hey, hey
And get what you been missin'
I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
I better find your lovin', I better find your heart
I bet if I give all my lovin', nothin's gonna tear us apart
Too many times, I've been wrong
I guess bein' right takes too long
I'm done waitin', there's nothin' left to do
But give all I have to you
I better find your lovin'
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin'
I bet if I give all my lovin', nothin's gonna tear us apart
(Drake talking)
This is why I do this shit.
I think they call this, umm, venting.
(Verse 1)
Look
Uhh.
This is me.
Still the same.
They want the hits.
I play the game.
No auto tune, but you can feel the "Pain".
It all comes spilling out like I hit a vein.
What up lil' Bruh?
What up SlumVille?
I hope you know that y'all the reason I have fun still.
The fans thinking that we all signed for one mill'.
Equal opportunity rapping, that shit is unreal.
That ain't how it works.
That ain't that how it goes.
And I been getting high just to balance out the lows.
And I could use a writer just to balance out my flows.
But I never share my thoughts,
This is all a nigga knows.
And every time I try, it opens up my eyes.
These verses are a chance to be remembered and reprised.
And I would be performing this as long as I'm alive ,
So every word I utter will be mine.
(Chorus)
Dont believe the lies.
Look me in my eyes.
Please don't be scared of me.
Please don't be scared of me.
I remember you.
This feeling isn't new.
So please don't be scared of me.
Please don't be scared of me.
Oh oh oh oh ooh yah.
(Verse 2)
(Don't take this the wrong way but uhh)
I never cried when Pac died.
But I probably will when Hov does.
And if my tears hold value, then I would drop one for every single Thing he showed us.
And I'll be standing in a puddle.
I stay away from niggas that could land me in some trouble.
And I'ma keep it honest.
I'm so tired of being subtle.
It's just me, Forty, O, and Nek standing in a huddle.
Staring at the members of my team.
Who get questioned about they profit from this million dollar scheme.
Just know that am in debt for you defending all our dreams.
I hope you tell your families this shit ain't what it seems.
But y'all the reason for a lot of my devotion.
You know I spend money because spending time is hopeless.
And know I pop bottles 'cuz I bottle my emotions.
At least I put it all in the open.
(Chorus)
Don't believe the lies.
Look me in my eyes.
Please don't be scared of me.
Please don't be scared of me.
I remember you.
This feeling isn't new.
So please don't be scared of me.
Please don't be scared of me.
Oh oh oh oh ooh yah.
(Verse 3)
Look.
Fuck all y'all.
We ignore feelings here.
Premature millionaires.
Welcome to my realest year.
Yeah.
I swear that we making a killing here.
I should be on top of the world here just chillin' here.
But it's funny having fans.
Who find you before anybody ever has the chance, and build you up so You could be the biggest in the game.
And realize when you're there,
Sometimes the shit don't feel the same.
Yeah.
And plus things are just surreal at home
People think I've changed just because my appeal has grown
And now security follow me everywhere so I never actually am alone, I just always feel alone.
I think I'm scared of what the future holds.
I was wishing for some things and now am used to those.
Every girl I meet thinks I'm fucking groupie hoes.
The honesty of my music has left me too exposed.
All my old friends think I got a new crowd.
And people seem to notice every time I do smile.
I guess that mean they come few and far between.
Even though am living out what you would call the dream.
Yeah.
And my uncle ain't even messaging me.
And him missing in my life is kind of messing with me.
I hope this isn't one of those forever things.
It's funny how money can change everything.
(Chorus)
Don't believe the lies.
Look me in my eyes.
Please don't be scared of me.
Please don't be scared of me.
I remember you.
This feeling isn't new.
So please don't be scared of me.
Please don't be scared of me.

You getting ready so I know we gon' be here awhile
In the bathroom, flat irons and nail files
Spending hours in salons on your hairstyles
In the mall steady racking up the air miles
Hit the gym, step on the scales stare at the number
You say you dropping 10 pounds, preparing for summer
And you don't do it for the man, men never notice
You just do it for yourself, you're the fucking coldest
Intelligent too, ooh, you're my sweetheart
I've always liked my women book and street smart
Long as they got a little class like half days
And the confidence to overlook my past ways
Time heals all and heels hurt to walk in
But they go with the clutch that you carry your lip-gloss in
And look, I really think that nobody does it better
I love the way that you put it together

Well, aren't you a breath of fresh air?
From all these superficial gold digging bitches in here
They get a baller, think that they ain't got to pick a career
Guess they plan on sucking dicks until some millions appear
Like voila, you do it right, he just might buy you a car
Unless you play these suckers just like B.O.B play the guitar
Now here you are with your girls having drinks at the bar
I say I'm buying, you decline, that is kinda bizarre
Independent with the demeanor of an R 'n B singer
Make it ring finger, M3 beamer
Champagne Range, triple white Jag
Closet full of brand new clothes and handbags
Alexander McQueen, Prada, Gucci, Chanel
D&G;, BCBG, Versace, Louie and Bebe
Ya ain't needy, greedy or easy as these other breezies
Who fuck for bottles of Riesling or beaus that beg zeebee

Wave 'em at them bitches hating on you with their friends
Girl, you got it, let 'em know everything big
Nails done, hair done, everything big
And my NY girls, let me see your hands
Wave 'em at them bitches hating on you with their friends
Girl, you got it, let 'em know everything big

Wave' em at them bitches hating on you with their friends

Say go Cinderella, go Cinderella
Orgasm blush, lipstick and concealer
Devil in a tight dress, girl, you a killer
And ain't nobody realer and ain't nobody realer
Go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go
(Showtime)
As we proceed
5 and a half in boys, ass is off the hook
Cinderella 'bout to lose the glass off her foot
And when I find it, is when I find you
And we can do the things we never got the time to
Better late than never, but never late is better
They tell me time is money, well, we'll spend it together
I'm down for whatever, you just lead the way
We go to dinner, you all don't even look at me to pay
Mature women with more than me were the first to tempt me
And Jason had this girl Tammy with a purple Bentley
How she got it, I ain't never get to ask
I just knew that she was fine like a ticket on the dash
Yeah, but shout out to the homeowners
The girls that got diplomas and enough money to loan us
A little something extra, should we ever need it
If it sounds like you, then let me hear you repeat it

Can I, can I save you from you (yeah)
Cause you know there's something
Missing and that champagne you've
Been sipping not suppose to make you
Different all the time.
It's starting to feel like the wrong thing
To do (yeah); cause with all that recognition
It gets hard for you to listen to the things
That I must say to make you mine.
But live girl, have some fun girl. We'll be fine
Trying to convince myself I found one
Making a mistake I never learned from!
[Chorus:]
I swear, I always fall for your type (yeah)
For your type.
Tell me why, I always fall for your type (ohhohh)
For your type.
I just cant explain this shit at all!
I just cant explain this shit at all!
I just cant explain this shit at all!
I just cant explain this shit at all!
Never believed in people like you!
Cause who am I to judge you on the past, girl
I bet there's a reason for it all
You say that you're nothing like the last girl
I just pray that you don't let me down right now
But it's too late 'cause I'm already yours
You just gotta promise me hearts won't break
And end up like before
[Chorus]
Look
Dress hangin' off your shoulder, barely sober
Telling me how you're moving away and starting over
Girl, quit playin' you just drunk, you just saying shit
And you dance, dance like high like ballet and shit
Oh, wait, no I get it girl I'm wit' it
I been down this road before and yeah I skid-ed
But forget it, damn, damn
I wonder why I never learned my lesson
It's feeling like its second chance and it's the first impression
And I heard there's nothing new except for someone new
But how you supposed to find the one when anyone don't come with you
Talking to myself but I never listen
Cause, man, it's been a while and I swear that this ones different
That's why I'ma take you anywhere you wanna go
Let you meet my friends so they can lecture me again
About how reckless I have been
And I'm slowly running out of all the time that I invested
Making all the same mistakes
And I'm just trying to correct it, and I fall
Please
DDDDamn what did i comsume
something spinning fast either me or the room it bet you its the room cause i dont do no drugs or maybe its that tron cause i do have a buzz baby either way im thowd and im on a mission so if your ears a virgin i advise you not to listen

[Drake]
Went from my nigga serving it by the tele
To venues in Manchester just swerving with Balotelli
The fuck are you trying to tell me?
Bothers me when you got to play therapist
That shit’s embarrassin’
They even bring up these niggas make the comparison
They just got to forgive me, this watch is a 150
Still ain’t got the time for a bitch to be acting iffy
Running through the city with niggas I’d give a kidney
Selling under 150 you niggas gotta be kidding
Is this even still a discussion?
Don’t you ever wake up disgusted?
Every million I gain an enemy or a cousin
And people’s feelings have changed ever since I became somethin’
Girls that becoming ladies
And my friends are having babies
And babies are dropping dead in my city
This shit is crazy
And I don’t know if speaking on it helps
This the shit that’s on my mind I just keep it to myself
You know
Can’t you talk to me
Lets talk about it, talk about it
Tell me what you need
Just tell me baby, tell me baby
[Chorus]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeaaaah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeaaaah
(wassup)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeaaaah
(wassup)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeaaaah
(Yea wassup)
Came too far to give up
Gotta try, cause I can’t do it on my own
Can’t you talk to me
Tell me what you need
Can’t you talk to me
(Verse 1)
All right!
She'll be jumping up and down,
Trying to fit that ass in.
Took her half an hour just to get that...
All she wanna talk about is party and the fashion,
I don't know where she's going and I do not plan on asking at all
Cause her spirit is free,
And she lets nobody else in except for me
If her basement is locked, then I swear she would agree
I'm the only one she loves, there's no copy of the key
Homie that's a guarantee
(Verse 2)
Don't forget that fendi purse that you put all your cash in,
Kinda' hard to concentrate when cameras are flashing.
Other dudes will suffocate her, I don't want her gaspin,
Don't know where she's going, and I do not plan on asking at all
I've never been the type felt a like my connection
With niggas that wanna fight over women, that's not right,
There's too many in the world, homie you could have yo pick
Don't f-ck with me, don't f-ck with me
Don't f-ck with me, don't f-ck with me
[Drake - Verse 1]
I got car money, fresh start money
I want Saudi money, I want art money
I want women to cry and pour out their heart for me
And tell me how much they hate it when they apart from me
Yeh, and lately I do bitches the meanest
Tell em I love em and don't ever mean it
We go on dates I send the Maybach out the neighboorhoods, they never seen it
That shit is dangerous but it so convenient
I aint lying, yeah
And comfortable I sit
That manual Ferrari Italian, some fly shit
It's sittin' at the house like I bought it in '9-6
Cause honestly I'm too f-cking busy to drive stick
I swear, too f-cking busy, too busy f-cking
This nigga girl, but to me she wasn't
Been hot before they open doors for me
Preheated oven, I'm in this so
But I aint finished though
It's been a minute though
My newest girl back home, got issues with parents
And some charges, how the f-ck can I get her to Paris
Luckilly, I'm the greatest my country's ever seen
So chances are I get the border to issue me clearance
Dreams money can buy
Everybody yelled surprised I wasn't surprised
That's only cause I been waitin' on it, nigga
So f-ck whoever hatin on a nigga
Of course
Don't f-ck with me, don't f-ck with me
Dont, don't f-ck with me, don't f-ck with me
Dont, don't f-ck with me, don't f-ck with me
Dont, don't f-ck with me, don't f-ck with me
Don't
Food from India, she in Charlotte Olympia's
We talked music for hours she never mentioned ya
Can't tell you how much I love when niggas think they got it.....
And I love the fact that line made 'em think about it
YMCMB these niggas make it so hard to be friendly when I know part of it's envy
Tryna fill the shoes, nigga so far these are empty
I take 'em off in the house because the throw carpets are Fendi
Ohh, I never seen the car you claim to drive
Shit I seen it, you just aint inside
And I feel like lately I went from top 5 to remaining 5
My favorite rappers either lost it or they aint alive
And they tryna bring us down me, Weezy and Stunna
We stayed up, Christmas lights in the middle of summer
And if the girl standing next to me got a fat ass
Then I'll probably give her my number
Yeah, I throw my dollas up high
And they land on the stage, dance on
We got company coming over
Would it kill you to put some pants on
Dreams money can buy
They told me it's like a high, it wasnt a lie
Yeah, just have some good p-ssy waiting on a nigga
And f-ck whoever hatin' on a nigga
ah yea
Don't f-ck with me, don't f-ck with me
Dont, don't f-ck with me, don't f-ck with me
Dont, don't f-ck with me, don't f-ck with me
Dont, don't f-ck with me, don't f-ck with me
Don't you have a man?
(Don't you got a man?)
Why are you trying to be my girl?
(Yeah)
I can't believe
Don't you have a man?
(Don't you got a man?)
It's alright with me my girl
We can do anything
Why you over there looking at me?
Why your man standing right beside ya?
The temporary happiness he might provide ya
But you know and I know
That nobody gon' do you like me
Tryin to say your like a goalie in line of sight
I kno that I feel her
but slowly I'm kinda like
I don't really wanna
Hit this girl
And so she want the chap stick
Like Napolian Dynamite
Well, Ima give it to you hunny bunches
You feelin all under your ribs like some tummy crunches
All my other girls all up on some Suddle shit
They don't wanna cut it
They wanna rapper and cuddle with
Consequences keep weighing me down
So whenever she think I'm serious
I'm playing around
It gets deeper and colder
And funny thing is
I'm *writing this* in my head
And she asleep on my shoulder
Don't you have a man?
(Don't you got a man?)
Why are you trying to be my girl?
(baby)
I cant believe
Don't you have a man?
(Don't you got a man?)
It's alright with me my girl
We can do anything
Look, we had a little thing
A winter time fling
Used to get back to my man (my street team?)
But that was then
You know,
Some hush hush
I ain't ever really see a future in us
Plus your man still there
Let's be fair
You'll do the same things to me
My feelings never did go past
Some late night smash
I don't wanna take the place of he
Late nights 85 south
On my way to the crib
And somebody got a song for me
I already know what you about
Cause I been the other man
And you not gunna trap me
With your silly little plan
It's my bad
Should have chose a woman
But now I'm in a mix
With this lil' girl playing
I'm saying
You need to do what you do
I'm not trying to take it
Any further with you
Don't you have a man?
Why are you trying to be my girl?
I cant believe
Don't you have a man?
It's alright with me my girl
We can do anything
I met her at the bar
Sippin' on patrone and
Now it's been three years off and on
Cause the same page, we are really
Often on
Cause when im in, she out
And when she in, I'm gone
We lost contact like falshon laun
But regained it when she was building
A house and home with this new cat
Saying that he doing her right
It just proves that,
She dont know
What to do with her life
Cause if so,
She wouldnt have to change her strategy
and wouldnt need me to recharge her
Batteries..
One minute she mad at me
Next minute it's all good
And I'm in her body like grays anatomy
I dont understand why
God sent me to you
And I can't try to justify the *fowl* shit
We do
All I know is that each time I'm
Stickin you, I think to myself
Damn
If only her nigga knew
Don't you have a man?
(Don't you got a man?)
Why you trying to be my girl?
(Yeah, yeah)
I cant believe
Don't you have a man?
(Don't you got a man?)
It's alright with me my girl
We can do anything
Don't you have a man?
(Don't you got a man..)
Why are you trying to be my girl?
(baby)
I cant believe..
Don't you have a man?
(Don't you got a man?)
It's alright with me my girl
[Verse 1]
When a good thing goes bad
Its not the end of the world.
Its just the end of a world
That you have with one girl.
And she's the reason it happened,
But she's overreacting.
And its all because she don't want things to change.
[Hook]
So cry if you need to,
But I can't stay to watch you.
That's the wrong thing to do.
Touch if you need to,
But I can't stay to hold you.
That's the wrong thing to do.
Talk if you need to,
But I can't stay to hear you.
That's the wrong thing to do.
Cause you'll say you love me,
And I'll end up lying,
And say I love you too.
[Chorus]
But I need someone different.
You know it, oh oh you know it.
Oh oh you know it, we both know it.
I need someone different,
You know it, oh oh you know it.
Oh oh you know it, we both know it.
Something's been missing,
you know it, oh oh she knows it.
Oooh I know it, we all know it.
I need someone different.
Ooohh ooohh.
[Verse 2]
We live in a generation of not being in love,
And not being together.
But we sure make it feel like we're together,
Cause we're scared to see each other with somebody else.
[Hook]
So cry if you need to,
But I can't stay to watch you.
That's the wrong thing to do.
Touch if you need to,
But I can't stay to hold you.
That's the wrong thing to do. Oooh.
Talk if you need to,
But I can't stay to hear you.
That's the wrong thing to do.
Cause you'll say you love me,
And I'll end up lying,
And say I love you too.
[Chorus]
But I need someone different.
You know it, oh oh you know it.
Oh oh you know it, we both know it.
I need someone different,
You know it, oh oh you know it.
Oh oh you know it, we both know it.
Something's been missing,
You know it, oh oh she knows it.
Oooh I know it, we all know it.
I need someone different.
[Chorus]
Somebody remind me where I am
thats right I’m at home, Yeah I’m right where I belong
girl you say you feeling faded well me too
the smoke is getting blown and the drinks is super strong
I know they aint getting money like we do
so it’s on. I was looking for the one
now I’m feeling dumb for thinking it was you
I was wrong now I’m back up in this bitch going harder than I did
watch me do it
and I’mma do it all
feeling like the old me
you don’t even know me
I’mma do it all
I’mma do it all
Probably why I’m back up in this bitch going harder than I did
watch me do it..
[Drake - Verse 1]
tonight I’m into breaking up
somebody’s home
I’m drunk as ever
I’m not alone, I’m with my people
I know you love it
I don’t jus do it
I over does it
I be getting money so long
its just paper to me
take all my memories with you and just erase it for me
you can never reminisce when you forget it all
careful what you wish for, you just might get it all
Now my life is angel hair and pignot grigio
baby forget about it
Im headed wherever this muthf-cking jet is routed
you can’t have my heart the doctor told me I’d be dead without it
my judgements never clouded
that’s why I’m steady yelling weatherman weatherman
I’m bout whatever man
I’m tryna fuck with tinkerbell in never neverland
but I’m polite about it
baby after you
I’ve had a glass or two so somebody remind me where I am
[Chorus]
-thats right I’m at home, Yeah I’m right where I belong
girl you say you feeling faded well me too
the smoke is getting blown and the drinks is super strong
I know they aint getting money like we do
so it’s on. I was looking for the one
now I’m feeling dumb for thinking it was you
I was wrong now I’m back up in this bitch going harder than I did
watch me do it
and I’mma do it all
feeling like the old me
you don’t even know me
I’mma do it all
I’mma do it all
Probably why I’m back up in this bitch going harder than I did
watch me do it
[Drake - Verse 2]
Tryna get the green like I’m waiting at a long light
broke just doesn’t suit me girl and every night is prom night
Where’d I put my bow tie
millionnaire multi
Rest in peace to B.I.G and praises to the most high
getting stupid paid off of smart decisions
I’m the man now, I guess that parts a given
Someone please tell me the problem with my competition
I ask whats up and they just always say the cost of livin'
I live from it though, I’ve been down and I got up
bring a hundred thousand to the club and light your spot up
and me falling and landing in love i don't think should happen
because everythings easier to get into than get out of
but someone show me to the owner of this city
cause the owners always seem to be the only people with me
I’m still the mafia, still run the commitee
NY forever nigga, Diddy,
[Chorus]
Somebody remind me where I am
thats right I’m at home, Yeah I’m right where I belong
girl you say you feeling faded well me too
the smoke is getting blown and the drinks is super strong
I know they aint getting money like we do
so it’s on. I was looking for the one
now I’m feeling dumb for thinking it was you
I was wrong now I’m back up in this bitch going harder than I did
watch me do it
and I’mma do it all
feeling like the old me
you don’t even know me
I’mma do it all
I’mma do it all
Probably why I’m back up in this bitch going harder than I did
[Verse 1 - J Cole]
Baby you summertime fine
I let you get on top, I'll be your underline
Trying to get beside you like the number 9, dime
You fine as Hell, I guess I met you
For a reason, only time could tell...
But well, I'm wondering what type of shit you on
Do you like the finer things or you a simple woman?
Would you drink with a nigga, do you smoke weed?
Don't be ashamed, it ain't no thang...
I used to blow trees, getting lifted
I quit the shit but I might get high with you...
It's only fitting because I'm getting superfly with you
Girl, you powerful, you do something to me
Girl, I caught the vibe like you threw something to me
So I throw it back
Now my niggas hollering: "who is that?
What you planning nigga? What you about to do with that?"
I'm finna take you home, sip a little Patron
Got me zoned, yeah, baby you so fine
[Hook - J Cole]
Can I hit it in the morning?
Can I hit it in the morning?
Sun rising while you moaning
Can I hit it in the morning?
Can I hit it in the morning?
Sun rising while you moaning
[Verse 2 - Drake]
The night is still young
Drink that dinner wine slow
I'm trying to make the goosebumps
On your inner thigh show
I'll let you beat me there
As far as finish lines go
And if you gotta leave for work
I'll be here in the same bed
That you left me in
I love? equestrian
I used to go to the stables and
Get those kids to bet me
I always ride the stallion
Whenever she let me
I'm joking, I mean that thing is poking
I mean you kinda look like that girl
That's in the US Open
I mean I got this hidden agenda
That you provoking
I got bath water that you could soak in
Things I could do with lotion...
Leave the towel, we could dry off in the covers
When you think you like it
I promise you gonna love it, yeah
When lights coming through the drapes
And we both yawning, I roll over and ask:
"Can I hit it in the morning?"
[Hook - Drake]
Can I hit it in the morning?
Can I hit it in the morning?
Sun rising while you moaning
Can I hit it in the morning?
Can I hit it in the morning?
Sun rising while you moaning
[Verse 3 - J Cole]
God bless the child that can hold his own
God bless the woman that can hold Patron
God bless the homegirl that drove us home
No strings attached like a cordless phone
You see my intentions with you was clear
I'm learning never judge a woman by
The shit that she wears
Before you sit and judge a nigga off
The shit that you hear
You're defensive, apprehensive all because
Of my career. Be fair
I know we barely know each other, and yeah
Somehow I ran up in your gear
So where we headed from here?
Just say you're scared if you're scared
But if you're through fronting
We can do something, and you know just
What I'm talking about, tomorrow you'll be calling out
Cause I be getting right until the wee morn
Breakfast after sex is like a reward
Then I go my own way, you think about me all day
That's just a warning
[Hook - J Cole]
Can I hit it in the morning?
Can I hit it in the morning?
Sun rising while you moaning
Can I hit it in the morning?
Can I hit it in the morning?
[the weeknd]

and really, i think i like who i'm becoming
there's times where i might just do it just to do it
like it's nothing
there's times when i might blow 50k on a vacation
for all my souljas just to see the looks on all they faces

i got a lot of friends to come up off the strip for me
the same ones that'll come up off the hip for me

Wayne if your on Mars

phone blowing up
so I'm cutting off my cellular
I'm a superstar
know that on to my nebula
I will break a leg
break a arm and a fibula
when I break it down
when I when I break it down
I hug and kiss the drum kick
I put the beat in my back pocket
and just sit
you can never be my ass
pause

again ya'll pretend
and we are some men
that get it on and in
I die before I lose
cause I was born to win

then don't bother him
and yes I fuck this game
but I won't father them
right
it's like, these days
man I'm booked and I'm busy
Dad named me Drake
Foots named me Drizzy
they try and tell me
I'll never be nothin' but a protege
but if you watched the VMA's
there's nothin' more to say
I got the key to happiness
and all the copies
remember this day
like you bought a poppy
and damn how I get so nice
I done spent it all once
bout to get rich twice
surprise party bitch
now it's on and poppin'
I always choose dough

cause money always knows best
chain snatch flow

Wayne:

"congratulations it's crack"

congratulations
[Verse 1]
They say that all of yo old girls got somebody new
I say, “damn really? even Rosemary? even Leanne Seely?”
They said, “fuckin right, they were the 1st to go
Its nothing personal
It’s just that all of them women you slept on were working though,
They was saving up
New niggas came around, they’ve been waking up with,
I swear, you don’t know this city anymore
They might’ve loved you before
But you’re out here doing your thing
They don’t know you..”
Sure they do they’re just not as sincere
It’s crazy all the emotions forgot in a year
She like, “why you even give a fuck you not even here”
Well out there there aint nothing for me, and I think I need to come home,
[Chorus]
Tell me, who did I leave behind?
You think you got to me
I can just read your mind
You think I’m so caught up in where,
I am right now
But believe I remember it all
[Verse 2]
I be with my nigga chubbs
He in love with street shit
No wonder why I feel awkward at this fashion week shit
No wonder why I keep fucking up the double cheek kiss
Along for that ignorant Young Money, Miami beach shit
A couple of artists got words for me , that’s never fun
They say its on when they say me, that day never come
Im never scared, they never real, I never run
When all is said and done, more is always said than done
And I was told once, things will change,
By a nigga named tip when my deal came
Told me its all good, even when it feels strange
Now I’m the guy that know strippers by they real names
Rochelle, Jordanne, thick bitches, they just talked me out of 4 grand
How did a pile of kush become the mountain of truth
How did a bottle of wine become the fountain of youth
Damn, my biggest fear is losing it all
Remember how I used to feel at the start of it?
And now I’m living a muthafuckin fairy tale
And still trying to keep you feeling a part of it
Yea, just lie to my ears,
Tell me it feel the same, its all I’ve been dying to hear
Lights get low, and thats when I have my brightest ideas
And I heard my city feel better than ever,
That’s why I gotta come home,
[Chorus]
Tell me, who did I leave behind?
You think you got to me
I can just read your mind
You think I’m so caught up in where,
I am right now
But believe I remember it all
[Verse 3]
My mother is back to who she was years ago
Its like a new page me and her are beginning on
I wish she stopped checking up on women I cant stand
’cause I got new girls I could use her opinion on
She thinks I’ve become a slave to the wealth
But I’ll never break the promises I made to myself
And I would never make up names for myself
Then change the names, that I just gave to myself
Certain rappers would call me to say, “wat up tho”
I used to brag about it to my friends, and now Im feeling like all of these niggas cutthroat
And maybe thats all they do, is just pretend, damn
But I bought it though, I believed it
Yea, I thought it, and I achieved it
Yea, so show me love, show me fucking love!
’cause I thought it was all I needed
Yea, Clearly I was wrong about it all along
And this will be the year that I wont even feel shit
They trip about the amount of people I brought along
But Im just trying to be surrounded by some real shit
Need credentials for everyone of these Toronto kids
I promise they see it with me, we just tryna live
I told ‘em we bout to get it, and we finally did
Listen closely to my shit I swear it sounded like home
[Chorus]
Tell me, who did I leave behind?
You think you got to me
I can just read your mind
You think I’m so caught up in where,
I am right now
[Verse 1]
This the record that my backpack underground fans get to get to Skippin'
Back back, Southern town fans get to tippin'
Chasin' fat stacks, runnin' down grands and submission
I don't back track, every single sound for me different
I don't own no ice, just got clean rap
Don't ever two step, I just rock, lean, snap
We could take it out to Houston where the rides all glossed up
Anybody I'm standin' beside's all bossed up
Burgular a miner they say I'm servin' them rhymers
And me and Nickel F. go together like burgers and diners, yes
I'm like a waiter and you something like a hater
With trays in both hands, place an order I can cater uh
I got the diamonds in my teeth flow
Memphis is the reason that my rhyming and my speech slow
Peep though, when I get fed up, it's sped up
Riding through the streets, just reclining in my seat hoe
Uh, them city lights is looking brighter, its 3 a.m. in the morning An' the pen is like a lighter
I'm just a writer flaming pages of a notebook, my Rachel McAdams get At 'em when I ignite her
Yup, soon as a couple plan a trip, you smell gasoline I'm burning All up and down the strip, strip
I done said it, I give you the unleaded, just tip me, if your tank Is empty come get me
[Chorus]
Yo, the city is mine (Which one?)
T-O-R-O-N-T-O
D-R-A-K-E that's me
You know how the story goes
Pull up, Range Rove, yo' chick, wanna roll
And I play myself in the stereo
And I make 'em wanna
Shake it shake it, drop it drop it, bounce it bounce it, wop it wop It
Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college, go!
Shake it shake it, drop it drop it, bounce it bounce it, wop it wop It
Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college after that
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down
Break it down
[Verse 2]
Break it down like you working for your tuition at Howard
Mama, get it how you live, that thang that you working is power
Tryna be generous, so honey here's a tip
Now-a-days it's gettin' cheaper to put 20's on the whip
So if you a opportunist look for 20's in the clip
And if you find 'em attractive and funny, that's when you dip, dip
And it's a trip, my city broke into sections
Up North I got me a couple of troubles, couple connections
And it's nothing that I created on purpose, there's people that Gotta problem
But they scared to let it surface, uh
Ya boy say this, that, and the third to 'em
See me out and they never utter a word to 'em
Expect me not to draw a card from the deck
Anybody in my city going hard I respect but,
You gotta debt and you choose not to pay that
I'ma hop ya fence, come into your yard and collect, 'lect uh
It ain't a problem of concern bruh, I always end up with exactly What I earn bruh
This ain't last year, money like a cashier, so hand your receipt if You tryna make a return bruh
Yessir, I live in a city where a lot of people don't get shine, shine
And, I be on by the fence as soon as anybody stepping out of line, Line
And I got way too much love, for the city I can never get too much of
And if anybody hatin' on me, I deport 'em, the city is mine boy
[Chorus]
Yo, the city is mine (Which one?)
T-O-R-O-N-T-O
D-R-A-K-E that's me
You know how the story goes
Pull up, Range Rove, yo' chick, wanna roll
And I play myself in the stereo
And I make 'em wanna
Shake it shake it, drop it drop it, bounce it bounce it, wop it wop It
Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college, go!
Shake it shake it, drop it drop it, bounce it bounce it, wop it wop It
Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college, after that
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down (After that)
Break it down, break it break it down
All night I've been staring,
Can you tell I want you?
Can't be too wide open,
But there's nothing I wont do,
Oh... Just thought you should know,
That's when you start to laugh,
See, I just want what I can't have,
Won't even give me a chance,
Claiming I'm just not as serious as you,
Shawty if you only knew,
This is serious.
I wish I... wasn't famous,
I wish I... was still in school,
So, that I could have you in my dorm room,
I would put it on you... Crazy,
Cause when you start to laugh,
See, I just want what I can't have,
Won't even give me a chance,
Claiming I'm just not as serious as you,
Shawty if you only knew,
This is serious.
Chorus:
I might fly and lose it all
I'm a cannonball
Maybe I'll walk away
Maybe I'll walk away
Set me up and light me off
I'm a cannonball
Maybe I'll walk away
Maybe I'll walk away
CANNONBALL (I'm a cannonball)
Verse:
Like my big bro say I'm going in
Olympic pools of money, I'm just glad I learned to swim
Cannonball bitch, I hope your diving board sturdy
And I hope when dinner's cold my niggas do not dessert me
And these haters like damn 'em
I gave a lot of women their first ride in the Phantom
And yeah I got a deal now, and I'm secure with it
And yup my life is so exciting i get bored with it
I'm the best one out of my peers, and everybody pray I'm running out of ideas
Past my mosley's, its all so bright
And I'm the result of when it all goes right
So many pictures man the flow is a callouge
But critics have a hard time pointing out the flaws
All this slick talk I just hope I dont fall
Right out of the sky, through the roof of your garage
[verse 1]
word on road, it's the clique about to blow
you ain't gotta run and tell nobody they already know
we've been living on a high, they've been talking on a low
but it's cool, know you heard it all before
[hook]
that's why i asked you are you me, are you me
thought you knew about the team, (ay)
that's why i asked you are you me, are you me
thought you knew about the team, (ay)
[verse 2]
are you me, are you me, what you know about the team
man these niggas got to stop it they be crowding up the scene
baby girl you need to stop it all that pride and self esteem
got you angry about this girl i'm with in all them magazines
baby she look like a star, but only on camera
only on camera, only on camera
it look like we in love, but only on camera
only on camera, only on camera
don't listen to the lies, i swear they all lies
you know i could be your knight in shining armor all tires
trying to tell you i'm the one, come and holla at me
before i'm on the next thing, ymcmb (ah)
[hook]
[verse 3]
are you me, are you me, what you know about the team
you just know what you get told girl i see behind the scene
she spilled whiskey on her shirt, she gonna have to get it cleaned
she been going way to hard, someone has to intervene
baby she look like a star, but only on camera
only on camera, only on camera
it might look like i care, but only on camera
only on camera, only on camera
don't listen to the lies, i swear they all lies
you know i could be your knight in shining armor all ties
girl they love me like i'm prince, new kid with the crown
bunch of underground kings, thought you knew how we get down (ah)
[outro]
are you me, are you me, thought you knew about the team (ay)
This here is on some truthful shit
It seems like everything I do you're used to it
And I hate hearing stories 'bout who you've been with
That's when I gotta hide, what I'm feeling inside
So you still think I'm confident and damn
Is this gonna last? You're up on a pedestal
Are we moving too fast?
Feel like I'm in crazy competition with the past
That's why I gotta ask
Is anything I'm doing brand new
Brand new, brand new
Is anything I'm doing brand new
Brand new, brand new, brand new, oh
This here is something personal
Highly doubt this feeling is reversible
Knowledge is pain and that is why it hurts to know
That you attempt to hide and put mistakes aside
So I don't ever question you and damn
I can't even find the perfect brush
So I can paint what's going through my mind
Racing against myself but I'm a couple steps behind
That's why I gotta ask
Is anything I'm doing brand new
Brand new, brand new
Is anything I'm doing brand new
Brand new, brand new, brand new, oh
Is anything I'm doing brand new
No, no, no, no, no
Is everything I'm doing too late
Late, late, late, late
Did he take off your clothes off just like this
Did he give you loving just like this
Did you spend the night in his bed on the very first date
Tell me, baby, am I too late
Is anything I'm doing brand new
Brand new, brand new
Show me if this is brand new
Aight, I say err,
who else really tryin' to mess with Hollywood Cole
I'ma a marley G bro treating Birmingham just like my
Hollywood shows
I'm tryin to tell you something that you probably
should know
this that slumdog millionnaire Bollywood flow
and ahhh, my real friends never hearing from me
fake friends write the wrong answer on the mirror for
thats why I pick and choose, I don't get sh-t confused
I got a small circle I'm not with different crews
we walk the same path but got on different shoes
live in the same building but we got different views
I got a couple cars I never get to use
I don't like my women single, I like my chicks in two's
and these days all the girls is down to roll
we hit the strip club and all them girls find a pole
so...thats when I say I live fast die young never take
it slow
tell your girl to tell her friend it's time to go
and tell me today's weather
I know they say they good but trust me I'm better
I sound like the coldest miami night ever
I'm cold but still hot you can't decide on a sweater
really this whatever and I am murdering and this is so
amusing
if their a sight to see than I am an illusion
I tell you I'm the man baby what is the confusion
and if they still sleeping on me someone hit the snooze
then
and keep sleeping while I sell a couple million
I'm headed for the moon I aint bout to hit the ceiling
I'm about to hit the club women tell me I'm appealing
but f-ck what thye say let me tell you how I'm feeling
I'm drinking these London street lamps got a real glow
Dizzee playin' driving fast but it feels slow
and ask ya man he a hater baby he'll know
I could kick a punt and turn that sh-t into a field
goal
I say this here was meant to get buried
I got a lot of things I mention those barely
I aint lying to the kids like the dentist aint scary
Im what Lebron was to St Vince and St Mary
but I aint palying high school games
pulling McClarens througha McDonalds drive through lane
I say Im too fly
I keep it hip hop like afu raa
Babygirl on that McClaren you gotta lift the doors
blades chopping through the streets liquid swords
I do it better than the best could
You know a lot of girls be thinkin' my songs are about them
This is not to get confused, this one's for you
Baby, you my everything, you all I ever wanted
We can do it real big, bigger than you ever done it
You be up on everything, other hoes ain't never on it
I want this forever, I swear I can spend whatever on it
'Cause she hold me down every time I hit her up
When I get right I promise that we gonna live it up
She make me beg for it till she give it up
And I say the same thing every single time
I say you the fucking best, you the fucking best
You the fucking best, you the fucking best
You the best I ever had, best I ever had
Best I ever had, best I ever had, I say you the fucking
Know you got a roommate, call me when it's no one there
Put the key under the mat, and you know I'll be over there
I'll be over there, shawty, I'll be over there
I'll be hitting all the spots that you ain't even know was there
Ha and you all ain't even have to ask twice
You can have my heart or we can share it like the last slice
Always felt like you was so accustomed to the fast life
Have a nigga thinking that he met you in a past life
Sweat pants, hair tied, chillin' with no make-up on
That's when you're the prettiest, I hope that you don't take it wrong
You don't even trip when friends say you ain't bringin' Drake along
You know that I'm working, I'll be there soon as I make it home
And she a patient in my waiting room
Never pay attention to them rumors and what they assume
And until them girls prove it
I'm the one they never get confused with
'Cause baby, you my everything, you all I ever wanted
We can do it real big, bigger than you ever done it
You be up on everything, other hoes ain't never on it
I want this forever, I swear I can spend whatever on it
'Cause she hold me down every time I hit her up
When I get right I promise that we gonna live it up
She make me beg for it till she give it up
And I say the same thing every single time
I say you the fucking best, you the fucking best
You the fucking best, you the fucking best
You the best I ever had, best I ever had
Best I ever had, best I ever had, I say you the fucking
Sex, love, pain, baby, I be on that tank shit
Buzz so big, I could probably sell a blank disk
When my album drop, bitches will buy it for the picture
And niggas will buy it too and claim they got it for they sister
Magazine, paper, girl, but money ain't the issue
They bring dinner to my room and ask me to initial
She call me the referee 'cause I be so official
My shirt ain't got no stripes but I can make your pussy whistle
Like the Andy Griffith theme song
And who told you to put them jeans on
Double cup love, you the one I lean on
Feeling for a fix then you should really get your fiend on
Yeah, just know my condo is the crack spot
Every single show she out there reppin' like a mascot
Get it from the back and make your fucking bra strap pop
All up in yo slot until the nigga hit the jackpot
Baby, you my everything, you all I ever wanted
We can do it real big, bigger than you ever done it
You be up on everything, other hoes ain't never on it
I want this forever, I swear I can spend whatever on it
'Cause she hold me down every time I hit her up
When I get right I promise that we gonna live it up
She make me beg for it till she give it up
And I say the same thing every single time
I say you the fucking best, you the fucking best
You the fucking best, you the fucking best
You the best I ever had, best I ever had
Best I ever had, best I ever had
I say you the fucking best, you the fucking best
You the fucking best, you the fucking best
You the best I ever had, best I ever had
Best I ever had, best I ever had
Uh, uh yeah, see this the type of joint
You got to dedicate to somebody
Just make sure they that special somebody

Featuring: Lloyd
Spending every moment in the studio
I never said it'd be fair
But when you're all alone
I hope you truly know
How bad I wanna be there
Come right in
Set your bag down
I took a night off for you
Go ahead and turn the lights off
But keep your heels on
They're fittin' for what I'm about to do
Know you hate explaining how you want it done
Just be quiet I'll do fine without your help girl
And you work without a second for some fun
Now you finally got a moment to yourself girl
And I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
I know what to do with it
(Drake)

(Lloyd)
Yeah, its drizzy baby
Ah Ha uhh I’m ready, alright J fresh I gottem
Look, I’m really the heir to the fortune of a millionaire
Talking money with me is really unfair
At the border like 'I swear
I have nothing to declare
I am nothing like these other niggas coming out this year'
Even if you never meet me you can tell I’m on the same shit
Loyal as a mother fucker nobody be saying shit
Dope boys know me cause I often speak they language
So well spoken man I should have went to Camebridge
y-o-u-n-g ho
women they can be so
motivated by money that’s why they be on me for
ask your favorite rapper homie guarantee that he know
if he is the one I’m the zero, Pshh damn
please comprehend I am a surf club general
I’m mr consistent I have never come in intervals
you don’t want be caught in the middle like a center fold
im comitten suicide if we ever identical
click clack pow how u like a nigga now?
in control of my domain
they can do what I allow
and I know Toronto miss me imma be home in a minute
that's my city and I run it you just run around in it
they see me out in person and say I aint herd you sing yet
the world is my playground dont fuck with my swiiiing set
we get the pitching then thats when it gets to piling
im calling your bluff don’t act like you can’t see me dialing
im in, low cut Louis with them hard denim jeans an a beige jacket
hands down the best in my age bracket
Turning now she caught his eye
For all he knows he cannot see
Pleasures smoulder inside
Cover seasons that fell from view
Long ago
Blame on your heart
But then you know that now
What do you do
You hide lies inside
Why do you do that
I don't know why
How long did i know you
For i don't know why you had to go
If only you had told her
The words to enfold her
Long ago
She took a breath and she never spoke
The words that tasted like to know she told a matinee
There was an odour/Unannounced anyway
But you can take and you can see
There's never enough of love for destiny
Don't look back from day to day
What i noticed wasn't me
Strangers they'll part again
They'll never know
For all the years they've disguised inside
Knowing their years of loss remain
How long did i know you
For i don't know why you had to go
If only you had told her
The words to enfold her
Turning now she caught his eye
For all he knows he cannot see
Pleasures smolder inside
Cover seasons that fell from view long ago
Blame on your heart
But then you know that now
What do you do, you hide lies inside
Why do you do that, I don't know why
How long did I know you for
I don't know why you had to go
If only you had told her
The words to enfold her long ago
She took a breath and she never spoke
The words tasted like
To know she told a matinee
There was an odor [Inaudible] anyway
But you can take and you can see
There's never enough of love for destiny
Don't look back from day to day
What I noticed wasn't me
Strangers, they'll part again
They'll never know
For all the years they've disguised inside
Knowing their years of loss remain
How long did I know you for
I don't know why you had to go
If only you had told her

The album was released on June 15, 2010, and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.[4] The album has since gone platinum. He released his second studio album on November 15, 2011 titled Take Care. Drake was set to release an R&B mixtape sometime in the future along with a collaboration album with Lil Wayne, however, both have been postponed for various reasons.[5][6]

Biography[link]
Early life and career beginnings[link]
Aubrey Drake Graham was born on October 24, 1986, in Toronto, Ontario. He is the son of Dennis Graham, a drummer who worked with Jerry Lee Lewis, and Sandi Graham, an educator. Two of his uncles, Larry Graham and Teenie Hodges, are also musicians.[11][12][13] Drake's father is an African American from Memphis, Tennessee, and Drake's mother is a Jewish Canadian. He attended a Jewish day school and had a Bar Mitzvah.[14][15][16] His parents divorced when he was five years old, and he was raised by his mother in Toronto's wealthy Forest Hill neighborhood.[17][18] Drake attended high school at Forest Hill Collegiate Institute, where he began acting,[19] but did not graduate.[20] He spent most summers with his father in Memphis.[21] Drake stated that his parents' divorce greatly affected him as a person, saying, “I had to become a man very quickly and be the backbone for a woman who I love with all my heart, my mother."[22]
Acting career[link]
In 2001, Drake began his acting career, playing the role of Jimmy Brooks, a character on Degrassi: The Next Generation. In the show, Brooks is a basketball star who became physically disabled after he was shot by a classmate. His role on the show ended in 2009, when his character graduated from Degrassi. He appeared in 138 episodes. He also appeared in the 2008 television movie Degrassi Spring Break Movie. Drake is mentioned in the 2010 television movie Degrassi Takes Manhattan, making him one of two Degrassi actors (along with Shenae Grimes) who exist within the series' fictional universe independently of their characters.
[edit] 2006–09: Room for Improvement, Comeback Season and So Far Gone
In February 2006, Drake released his first mixtape Room for Improvement. It was made available via his website and official MySpace page. In 2007, he released another mixtape, Comeback Season, spawning a single and a music video for "Replacement Girl" featuring Trey Songz. Also in 2007, Drake became the first unsigned Canadian rapper to have his music video featured on BET when his first single, "Replacement Girl" was featured as the "New Joint of the Day" on April 30, 2007.[23] It also contained a freestyle over a song with Lil Wayne, a remix of "Man of the Year" originally by Brisco and Flo Rida. In 2008, Lil Wayne was given some of Drake's music from Rap-A-Lot founder, J. Prince's son, Jas Prince, and he immediately called Drake to invite him to fly to Houston and tour with him. Drake and Wayne recorded a couple of songs during this time, including "Ransom", the original version of "I Want This Forever", and the remix to Drake's song, "Brand New". Though now part of Lil Wayne's crew, Young Money, Drake was not signed. On February 13, 2009, Drake released his third official mixtape, So Far Gone, for free download on his blog site which included Drake's mentor Lil Wayne, Bun B, Omarion, Lloyd and his friend, Trey Songz. It received over 2,000 downloads in the first 2 hours of release. It was extremely successful in the underground and eventually made its way to radio. Due to the success of the mixtape's two singles, "Best I Ever Had" and "Successful", it was released as an EP featuring only five songs from the mix tape and one new song. MTV named it "The Hottest Mixtape of 2009 (So Far)".[24] Since So Far Gone, Drake worked with DJ Khaled, Young Money, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Young Jeezy, Mary J. Blige, Timbaland, Birdman, Trey Songz, and Jamie Foxx. Drake has also written for Alicia Keys, and Dr. Dre.
He achieved success before signing to a major record label, according to his management Hip Hop Since 1978.[25] In June 2009, it was revealed that an unauthorized album entitled The Girls Love Drake and credited to Drake was up for sale on iTunes. A lawsuit was planned against the label.[26] On the Billboard Hot 100 chart of July 4, 2009, both "Best I Ever Had", and "Every Girl" by Young Money Entertainment entered the top ten at positions 3 and 10 respectively. Drake is only the second artist to have his first two top ten hits in the same week. The first was fellow Canadian Nelly Furtado who entered the top ten in 2001 with "I'm Like A Bird" the same week as Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On", a remix of which included a credited contribution from Furtado. On June 29, 2009, it was confirmed, that Drake signed a record deal with Young Money Entertainment.[27] This followed what Billboard purported to be "one of the biggest bidding wars ever".[28] Drake toured with Wayne and other rap artists on the America's Most Wanted Tour. On July 31, 2009, Drake, who was performing on an already injured knee, fell on stage while performing "Best I Ever Had", with Lil Wayne in Camden, New Jersey.[29] Drake underwent surgery on September 8, 2009 for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee. He underwent rehabilitation and was soon able to walk.[30] On September 15, 2009, So Far Gone was released as a seven-track EP in which five of the tracks were from the original mixtape. It debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200. Since then the album was certified gold by the RIAA with over 500,000 copies sold in the United States. On April 18, 2010, the album won Rap Recording of the Year at the 2010 Juno Awards.[31]
[edit] 2010–present: Thank Me Later, Take Care and feud with Common
Drake planned to release his official debut album, Thank Me Later, in late 2009, but the album's release date was postponed, first to March 2010,[32] then May 25, 2010.[33] Universal Motown then stated the album had been pushed back three weeks for a June 15, 2010, release.[32][34] The album has collaborations with the likes of Kanye West, Jay-Z[35] and Lil Wayne while forgoing planned duets with Trey Songz[36] and Danny!.[36] On March 9, 2010, Drake released the first single from his Thank Me Later album, also known as "Over".[37] It reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.[38] On March 12, 2010, a version of K'naan's "Wavin' Flag" recorded by a collective of Canadian musicians known as Young Artists for Haiti was released. Drake is featured in the song, performing a solo verse near the end of the song. In June 2010, it was announced that Drake would have a prominent role in the video game Gears of War 3. He was scheduled to play the part of Jace Stratton, but a scheduling conflict meant it went to someone else.[39] On April 29, 2010, it was announced that Drake had finished Thank Me Later. According to reports, Drake announced the completion of the album to a crowd during his April 26, 2010, show at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. His camp has since confirmed that Drake was finished with the final track to the album and the next single from the album would be titled "Find Your Love".[40] "Find Your Love" was released as the second single on May 5, 2010, and became the most successful single from the album, peaking at number 5 on the Hot 100.[41] The third single from the album, "Miss Me", featuring Lil Wayne, was released on June 1, 2010,[42] and reached No. 15 on the Hot 100.[43] Thank Me Later was finally released on June 15, 2010. On that day, 25,000 fans gathered at New York's South Street Seaport for a free concert by Drake and Hanson. A near riot ensued after police canceled the show due to over-flowing crowds.[44] The record sold 447,000 copies in its first week, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200, his first release to do so.[45] Due to his first week sales, Drake had sold the most records for any hip hop artist in one week in 2010.[46] Eminem surpassed that accomplishment a week later.[47] Drake hosted the first annual OVO (October's Very Own) Festival. In that festival he brought out the VIP list of rap stars including Jay-Z, Eminem, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Bun B and Fabolous.[48] Drake kicked off his "Lights Dreams and Nightmares Tour" on September 20, 2010 in Miami, Florida.[49] The tour traveled to major cities in the United States, winding down on November 6 in Las Vegas.[50]
On November 17, 2010, Drake revealed the title of his next studio album to be Take Care.[51] In late January 2011, Indiewire announced that Drake was in negotiations to join Eva Green and Susan Sarandon in the cast of Nicholas Jarecki's forthcoming feature-film "Arbitrage.".[52] However in April 2011, it was announced that Drake will no longer be starring in the movie as his plan is to focus fully on his sophomore album Take Care instead.[53]In late January 2011, Indiewire announced that Drake was in negotiations to join Eva Green and Susan Sarandon in the cast of Nicholas Jarecki's forthcoming feature-film "Arbitrage.".[54] However in April 2011, it was announced that Drake will no longer be starring in the movie as his plan is to focus fully on his sophomore On June 9, 2011, it was unveiled that Drake's second studio album will be released on October 24, 2011.[55] He 'sought beats' from DJ Premier[56] and some collaborations and background vocals from TLC members Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas for his sophomore album. In a November 17, 2010, interview, rapper and producer Q-Tip said that he's "cheffing up some stuff for him right now".[57] It is unclear whether the tracks Q-Tip produced will be on Take Care. Drake posted a new track, "Dreams Money Can Buy", on his October's Very Own blog on May 20. On June 9 another track from the album, "Marvins Room" was made available.[55] "Marvins Room" was officially released on July 22, 2011, via iTunes.[58] On June 28 he released a music video for "Marvins Room".[59] The first single from Take Care is "Headlines", which reached as high as 13 on the Hot 100.[60] Drake's latest single from Take Care is the album's title track, "Take Care" featuring Rihanna. In January 2012 Drake performed "Headlines" on ice during the second intermission of the NHL All Star Game in his home country of Canada.[61] During the Take Care era, Drake had numerous attacks from other rappers. Common was amongst a few. Common made a subliminal diss record entitled "Sweet" (See The Dreamer/The Believer) and later confirmed it was aimed at him.[62] He also made a controversial remix to Rick Ross's song "Stay Schemin'" featuring French Montana and Drake from the mixtape Rich Forever.[63]
Personal life[link]
Drake is a fan of the Kentucky Wildcats and a friend to head coach John Calipari. On October 16, 2009, Drake made an appearance at the University of Kentucky men's basketball event, "Big Blue Madness" at Rupp Arena. On January 2, 2009, Drake also attended Kentucky's game against the University of Louisville and accompanied Calipari to his post game radio show.[64] Drake returned to the University of Kentucky on April 27, 2010, to perform a concert.
He was featured in the February–March 2010 issue of Complex magazine, in which he discussed his professional relationship with Lil' Wayne, competition with up-and-coming artists, getting inspired by ex-girlfriends, and the details on his debut studio album, Thank Me Later.[65]
In July 2010, Drake postponed his entire European tour due to his mother's illness.[66]
