[Intro: Cryptic Wisdom] Life, sometimes it feels like she treats other people better then you And you want her to treat you better sh**, treat that b**h right man And she will [Verse 1: Cryptic Wisdom] The money, fame, and power, I ain't seen it yet But people linin' up like "I wonder what we can get" It ain't a problem, but when I know this my friends Coming back when there's some ends and running back when that sh** ends It's kinda funny, I guess the money makes them act a little strange It don't change the person with it, just the people in yo space I'm spacing out, my brain is orbiting I stare up at the galaxy at night like I'm absorbing it Cause that's my only pal, there ain't a doubt in mind The only one that I can turn to when I'm out of time You treat your life well, that b**h will treat you fine There's always silver-lining, just read between the signs The great divine rest upon my shoulders I was meant for higher purpose those of us who wear ? I'd live forever if she let me hope she will Cause this life is just to good to be this real [Hook: Drake] Uh, she just started to pop it for a n***a And looked back and told me baby it's real And I say I ain't doubt you for a second I squeeze it and I could tell how it feel I wish we could take off and go anywhere
But here, baby you know the deal Cause she bad, so maybe she won't Uh, but sh**, then again, maybe she will Do it for the realest n***as in the f**ing game right now, she will Do it for the realest n***as in the f**ing game right now, she will Maybe for the money and the power and fame right now, she will Do it for the realest n***as in the f**ing game right now, she will [Verse 2: Cryptic Wisdom] It's hardwired in my brain, the music thang That's the gift that life has given to me like a fuel to flame And see my gift back is what I am because of it The game is waitin' on me cause they know I'm on some other sh** Sometimes you gotta take a step back and ask yourself "Is it my time yet, what am I after?" Well, I'm after wealth but that's the big picture forever So meanwhile I've been playing chess up on your checkerboards I'm breaking all the rules I'm in the fast lane holding up the traffic moving carefully and past games They say the one's that have it all, they took the time for it I want the world in my palms, I've got the time for it Cause this is my life, I'm in control of it She's worked all of the pain and all the years that I was broke for this I'd live forever if she let me hope she will Cause this life is just to good to be this real [Hook]
