  • Yeah
    More
    Yeah

    More time with family and friends, more life
    More time to get it right
    It's only me but I'm seeing four shadows in the light
    My demons visit me every night
    To the most high I'm forever indebted
    I know I gotta pay something, I know that day's coming
    I put it all in the music
    Because if I don't say it here then I won't say nothing
    Could feel my hand getting tired from holding the grudges
    Two birds, one stone, my aim is amazing
    I need to start losing my shit
    Just to show you niggas who hatin'
    Too reserved like I called ahead for me and my lady
    Free C5, how the fuck we got the boss waiting
    Ever since the blue basement I found God and I lost patience
    Between rocks and hard places of all places
    Spotted everywhere like Dalmatian
    Cops snoop around now 'cause all my dogs famous
    Please welcome the October fall baby
    Vaughan Road Academy, star player, my mind's not all there
    Used to carry a lot of dead weight like a pallbearer
    People too scared to tell the truth so it's all dares
    Counted us all there and we all square
    Quick money, I'm in and out
    My dad used to use a soap bar 'til it's thinning out
    But shit, look at Dennis now
    All Stacy Adams and linnen'd out
    More blessings for Sandy and him, more life
    My parents never got it right, but
    God bless 'em both, I think we all alike
    We all wide awake late at night, thinking on what to change
    If we do get to do it twice in a another life
    Scared to go to sleep now
    'Cause being awake is what all my dreams were like
    Back when the bar I set for myself was out of sight
    Tell me how I went and did chin ups
    On this shit when I can't see it
    Pin ups of Meagan Good and Pam Grier, soul sisters
    Inspired my old scriptures
    Now that feeling gone like them old pictures
    Mixing liquors got us both twisted
    Words get so vicious, you just stare at me
    While you roll Swishers
    Girl I love you, but I don't miss you
    And no matter what year it is I'm an 06'er
    Go figure, cold nigga, stay in school man
    Fuck the rap game, it's all lies and it's all filthy
    2 percent of us rich and the rest of these niggas all milk it
    Got two of my niggas off with a not guilty
    Gave back to the city and never said it
    If I didn't live it but still they try to tell you I'm not the realest
    Like I'm some privileged kid that never sat through a prison visit
    Or like it was just handed to me tied with a ribbon
    I never worked to get it
    But really it's you with all the drug dealer stories
    That's gotta stop though
    You made a couple chops and now you think you Chapo
    If you ask me though you ain't lining the trunk with kilos
    You bagging weed watching Pacino with all your niggas
    Like "this what we need to be on," but you never went live
    You middle man in this shit, boy you was never them guys
    I can tell 'cause I look most of you dead in your eyes
    And you'll be trying to sell that story for the rest of your lives
    Can't show us where the cash is
    Me, I don't judge, I'm just going off what the math is
    Numbers inflated
    They all look at me like, "What have you done for me lately?"
    I like your older shit but wasn't in love with the latest
    Aw baby, stop debating, I'm just a creative
    My numbers out of this world
    No wonder they got me feeling so alienated
    You were the man on the moon
    Now you just go through your phases
    Life of the angry and famous
    Rap like I know I'm the greatest
    Then give you tropical flavors
    Still never been on hiatus
    You stay xanned and perked up
    So when reality set in you don't gotta face it
    I'm down 200 in Vegas but winning life on a daily basis
    It seems like nobody wants to stay in my good graces
    I'm like a real estate agent, putting you all in your places
    Look what happens soon as you talk to me crazy
    Is you crazy? Writer/s: Aubrey Drake Graham, J. Francis, Joey Castellani, Kanye West, Noah James Shebib
