[Verse: Drake]
Why do I feel so alone?
Like everybody pa**ing through the studio
Is in character as if we acting out a movie role
Talking bullsh** as if it was for you to know
And I don't have the heart to give these
b**h n***as 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
It's hard to think of them polite flows
When Stefano Pilati 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 sh** 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
And make hits like a b**h that's married, I ain't miss24 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' Hov's show
Embarra**ed to pull my camera out
And my mother embarra**ed
To pull my Phantom out
So I park about five 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 f**in' city like your highness
Got n***as 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 f**in' right now
And sh** 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 piece of my soul
And Sylvia be tellin' Tez, "Damn, Drake fly"
And he just be like, "Silly motherf**er, I know
That was your bad, how could you pa** 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 a** up on 'em"
Oh they did Poe, at least they tried to
And that's what happens
When you spitting what's inside you
But slip up and shoot the wrong f**ing video
And they think they can market you
However they decide to nahh
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 in the slightest could've 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 mothaf**a to any rapper that I know
Cause they need it much more than I ever will
I got new sh**, I'm gettin' better still
Little n***as put my name in they verses
Cause they girlfriend put my a** on a pedestal
Future said cause this 'Ye sh** you better k**
And I think this got this "Making of a Legend" feel
Problem with these other n***as they ain't never real
Yea ... that's all I can say
