[00:19.51]Why do I feel so alone?
[00:22.78]Like everybody passing through the studio
[00:25.12]Is in character as if he acting out a movie role
[00:27.80]Talking ******** as if it was for you to know
[00:30.61]And I don't have the heart
[00:31.74]To give these ***** ****** the cue to go
[00:33.33]So they stick around kicking out feedback
[00:36.02]And I entertain it as if I need that
[00:38.94]I had a talk with my uncle and he agreed that
[00:41.65]My privacy about the only thing I need back, but
[00:45.26]It's hard to think of them polite flows
[00:47.25]When Stefano Pilati suits are your night clothes
[00:50.02]And Jordan sweat suits are your flight clothes
[00:52.73]And you still make it even when they say your flight closed
[00:55.66]Eyes hurting from the camera phone light shows
[00:58.29]Life was so full, now this **** just being lipo'd
[01:00.98]Always said I'd say it all on the right track
[01:03.76]But in this game you only lose when you fight back
[01:06.67]Black diamond bracelets, showing you the basics
[01:09.23]I can't live and hold the camera, someone gotta tape this
[01:12.06]And make hits like a ***** that's married, I ain't miss
[01:14.93]24 hours from greatness, I'm that close
[01:17.90]Don't ever forget the moment you began to doubt
[01:20.66]Transitioning from fitting in to standing out
[01:23.28]Los Angeles Cabanas or Atlanta South
[01:26.25]Watchin' Hov's show, embarrassed to pull my camera out
[01:29.01]And my mother embarrassed to pull my Phantom out
[01:31.73]So I park about five houses down
[01:34.03]She say I shouldn't have it until I have the crown
[01:36.92]But I don't wanna feel the need to wear disguises around
[01:39.73]So she wonder where my mind is, accounts in the minus
[01:42.63]But yet I'm rolling round the ****in' city like your highness
[01:45.66]Got ****** reactin' without a sinus
[01:48.19]'Cause what I'm working with is timeless
[01:50.55]And promoters try to get me out to they club
[01:52.91]And say I have fun but I can't imagine how
[01:55.71]'Cause I just seen my ex-girl, standing with my next girl
[01:58.63]Standing with the girl that I'm ****in' right now
[02:01.30]And **** could get weird unless they all down
[02:04.11]And so I stay clear, we from a small town
[02:06.95]And everybody talks and everybody listen
[02:09.76]And somehow the truth just always comes up missing
[02:12.57]I've always been something that these labels can't buy
[02:15.27]Especially if they tryin' to take a piece of my soul
[02:18.07]And Sylvia be tellin' Tez, "Damn, Drake fly"
[02:20.67]And he just be like, "Silly mother****er, I know
[02:23.59]That was your bad, how could you pass up on 'em?
[02:27.03]He just take them records and he gas up on 'em
[02:29.86]Wayne will prolly put a million cash up on 'em
[02:32.55]Surprised no one ever put your ass up on 'em"
[02:35.62]Oh, they did, Po, at least they tried to
[02:38.47]And that's what happen when you spitting what's inside you
[02:41.24]But slip up and shoot the wrong ****ing video
[02:44.00]And they think they can market you however they decide to
[02:46.83]Nah, but 40 told me to do me
[02:49.38]And don't listen to anybody that knew me
[02:52.37]'Cause to have known me would mean that there's a new me
[02:55.17]And if you think I changed in the slightest, coulda fooled me
[02:57.92]Boy, and to my city I'm the 2-3
[03:00.76]Drug dealers live vicariously through me
[03:03.38]I quit school and it's not because I'm lazy
[03:06.16]I'm just not the social type and campus life is crazy
[03:08.97]Understand, I could get money with my eyes closed
[03:11.86]Lost some of my hottest verses down in Cabo
[03:14.58]So if you find a Blackberry with the side scroll
[03:17.33]Sell that motha****a to any rapper that I know
[03:20.18]'Cause they need it much more than I ever will
[03:22.99]I got new ****, I'm gettin' better still
[03:25.83]Little ****** put my name in they verses
[03:28.43]'Cause they girlfriend put my ass on a pedestal
[03:31.42]Future said, "'Cause this 'Ye ****, you better kill"
[03:34.13]And I think this got this Making-of-a-Legend feel
[03:37.03]Problem with these other ******, they ain't never real
[03:40.06]Yeah, that's what I'm bout to say
