1. SAY WHAT IS 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
bitch ass niggas the cue to go
so they stick around kicking 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
its hard to think of them polite flows
mr. Fano Poloto suits are 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 shit just being lipo'd
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
showing 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
transitioning from fitting in to standing out
los angeles, cabanas or Atlanta south
watchin whole 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 rolling round the fuckin' city like your highness
got niggas reactin without a sinus
cause what i'm working with is timeless
and promoters try to get me out to they club
they say i have fun but i can't imagine how
cause i just seen 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
everybody talks and everybody listen
but somehow the truth just always comes up missing
i've always been something that these labels can't buy
especially if they tryin to take a peice of my soul
and sylvia be tellin tez "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 them 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 po
at least they tried to
and thats what happens
when you spitting whats inside you
but slip up and shoot the wrong fucking video
and they think they can market you
however they decide to nahh
but forty told me to do me
and don't listen to anybody that knew me
cause to have known me would
mean that theres a new me
and if you think i changed in the slightest
could of fooled me
boy in my city i'm da 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 side 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 they verses
cause they girlfriend put my ass on a pedestal
future said cause this ye shit you better kill
and i think this got this "making of a legend" feel
problem with these other niggas they
ain't never real
yea ... thats all i can say

2. LUST FOR LIFE

I'm tryin' to do it all tonight,
I got plans,
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 would fall back,
But gettin' rich suppose to solve that,
And these days women make offers and who the hell am I to say,
No no no,

My ex sendin' late night text cause she don't know how to let,
Go go go
Uh, She in love,
And as for the pretty light skinned models standin' in the cold ah yea they with us,
Let them girls in for a drink,
And I'm all in they ear,
Saying she should be the one I see,
Every time that I'm 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 I'ma be the one to pour cement on it,
Uh, and start over,
And show up in a Mars yellow tux,
I don't really give a fuck,
And we only getting older,
So what I tend to do is to think of today as the past,
It's funny when you comin' in first but you hope that you last,
You just hope that it last,
that it last,
that it last,
that it last,
that it last
......
......
......
......
Throw your ones up in the air,
Throw your ones up in the air for her,
Oh oh, throw your ones up in the air,
Throw your ones up...

3. MISS ME

Tell me, whats really goin' on
Drizzy back up in this thang, I'm ready
Whats happenen?
Gone for surgery but now I'm back again
Im bout my paper like a muthafucken scratch n win
World series attitude, champagne bottle life
Nothing ever changes so tonight is like 2morrow night
I will have a model wife
Yo bitch is as hot as ice
Every time you see I look like I hit the lotto twice
"Drake you got em right?"
Yea I got em bun
I love myself cuz I swear their life is just not as fun
Neets got the weed, hush got a gun
CJ got my credit cards and a lot of ones
Yea,im in the city of the purple sprites
Some one tell meliah I'm on fire,
She should work tonight
Call up king of diamonds and tell china it'll be worth the flight
I be at my table stacken dollars till the perfect height
Work somethin, twirk something basis
She just trynna make it
So shes right here gettin naked
I dont judge her I dont judge her
But I could never love her
Cuz to her I'm just a rapper
And since she'll have met another
Thats why me and lil jazz bout to spazz
Can you keep up?
Im just feelin sorry for who ever gotta sweep up
Yea, bills every where, trill everything
And drake just stand for "Do Right And Kill Everything"
I love nicky minaj
I told her I'll admit it
I hope one day we get married just to say we fucken did it
And girl I'm fucken serious
Im with it if you with it
Cuz yo verses turn me on and your pants are mighty fitted
Ugh, damn, I think you caught me in the moment
Like I catch em stealing flows cuz I swear I never lowned it
And life aint a rehearsal
The camera is always rollin'
So comeand get a portion of this money that we blowin
Cuz its on
You should come with me
If you got some time this is where you wanna be
We could go all night long
This could last all night long
Bet its goin' down
We gon'make it right
This is what they mean when they talk about the life
We could go all night long
This could last all night long
Im with it if you with it

4. SAY SOMETHING

[Songwriters: Clayton, Timothy; Graham, Aubrey Drake; Harmon, Jerome; Maultsby, John; Mosley, Timothy;]

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
I'm gon' need you to say something baby

5. FIND YOUR LOVE

[Songwriters: Bhasker, J; Graham, A; Reynolds, P; West, Kanye;]

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

I bet if I give all my lovin', nothin's gonna tear us apart

6. I AM LOST WITHOUT YOU


(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...
Man I love my team (x2)
I would die for them n****a's

(Nicki Minaj: )

Yo...
If drizzy say get her...
I'mma get her,
I got that kind of money,
Make a broke b**** bitter,
I got that kinda (sniff),
Wait... wait fix sate (?),
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,
We got the hawks,
I ain't talking bout the peach state,
Man for Pete's sake...
Scratch that sweep stakes,
F**k I look like h-e,
I look like yes, and you look like no,
I'mma bad b****,
I ain't never been a mixed breed,
On a diet, but I'm doing donuts in it

7. I AM READY FOR YOU

[10]
[Drake]
R.I.P. to the girl you used to see
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 array 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

VIDEO



8. STUNT ON YOU

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 every time we were together... gether
And that's why...

10. UNFORGETTABLE

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?
Timeless homie, unforgettable
