I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember," you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Yeah
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday, it was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over, yeah
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember," you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Yeah
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I remember," you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember," you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

I might be too strung out on compliments
Overdosed on confidence
Started not to give a fuck and stop fearing the consequence
Drinking every night because we
Drink to my accomplishments
Faded way too long, I'm floatin in and out of consciousness
And they sayin I'm bad, I'd agree with that
I just take my time with all this shit
I still believe in that
I had someone tell me I fell off, ooh I needed that
And that they want to see me pick it back up
Well, where'd I leave it at?
I know I exaggerated things, now I got it like that
Stuff my napkin in my shirt cause I'm just mobbin like that
You know good and well that you don't want a problem like that
You gonna make someone around me catch a body like that
No, don't do it, please don't do it
Cause one of us goes in, and we all go through it
And drizzy got the money, so drizzy gonna pay it
Those my brothers, I ain't even gotta say it
That's just something they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
That the real is on the rise
Fuck them other guys
I even dra in the chance to decides
Now, that's something they know
They know, they know, they know
I be yelling out money over everything
Money on my mind. then she wanna ask
When it got so empty. tell her I apologize
Happened over time. she said she miss the old drake
Girl, don't tempt me
If they don't get it, they'll be over you
That new shit that you got is overdue
You better do what you supposed to do
I'm like "Why I gotta be all that?"
But still, I can't deny the fact
That it's true, listening to you expressing all them feelings
Soap opera rappers, all these niggas sound like all my children
And that's who you thinkin is about to come and make a killing
I guess it really is just me, myself and all my millions
You know that they ain't even got it like that
You gonna hype me up and make me catch your body like that
Cause I live for this, this isn't just a hobby like that
When they get my shit and play it, I ain't even gotta say it
They know. they know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
That the real is on the rise
Fuck them other guys, and I even gave 'em
A chance to decide, now that's something they know
They know, they know, they know
I be yelling out: money over everything, money on my mind
Tell them I apologize, happened over time
They know

You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
For a second you were here
Why you over there?
It’s hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Never had a love
When you was just a young'un you're looks but so precious
But now you’re grown up
So fly, it’s like a blessing
But you can't have a man look at you for five seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself so when you got older
It's seems like you came back ten times over
Now you're sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder
See, you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
See, you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
For a second you were here
Why you over there?
It’s hard not to stare the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Had a love
You had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn't your fault
Wasn't in your intentions
You the one here talking to me
You don't wanna listen
But I admire your poppin’ bottles and dippin'
Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping
Baby, so don't be mad
Nobody else trippin’
You see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crook
See, you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
See, you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
Ooh
See, I just want you to know
That you deserve the best
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
Yeah
And I want you to know, you're far from the usual
Far from the usual
You see, you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love
See, you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love

See, you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love

See, you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
It’s bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I’ll leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it’s bring me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one of you
And I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
‘Cause mine sure won’t be shared
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it to the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it with a beating
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
It all, it all, it all
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
But you played it, you played it, you played it
You played to the beat

Young Money
I tell her, “Now, go on, pop that pussy for a real nigga”
I already know that life is deep but I still dig her
niggas is jealous, but really, I couldn’t care less
I’m in hell’s kitchen with an apron and a hair net
Devil on my shoulder, the Lord as my witness
So on my Libra scale, I’m weighing sins and forgiveness
What goes around, comes around like a hula hoop
Karma is a bitch
Well, just make sure that bitch is beautiful
Life on the edge, I’m dangling my feet
I tried to pay attention but attention paid me
Haters can’t see me, nose bleed seats
And today, I went shopping and talk is still cheap
I rock to the beat of my drum set
I’ve been at the top for a while and I ain’t jump yet
But I’m Ray Charles to the bullshit
Now jump up on that dick and do a full split
She just started to pop it for a nigga
And look back and tell me, “Baby, it’s real”
And I say, I ain’t doubt you for a second
I squeeze it and I can tell how it feel
I wish we could take off and go anywhere but here
Baby, you know the deal
And she bad, so maybe she won’t
Uh, but shit, then again, maybe she will
Yeah
Do it for the realest niggas in the fuckin’ game right now
She will, yeah
Do it for the realest niggas in the fuckin’ game right now
She will, she will, she will
Maybe for the money and the power and the fame right now
She will, she will, she will
Do it for the realest n****s in the fuckin’ game right now
She will, she will, she will
Yeah, I tell her, “Now go on, pop that pussy for me”
Haters can’t see me, but them bitches still looking for me
And you could take that to the bank and deposit that
Put your two cents in, and get a dollar back
Some people hang you out to dry like a towel rack
I’m all about “I”, give the rest of the vowels back
I like my girl thick, not just kinda fine
Eat her ‘til she cry, call that “wine and dine”
Try to check me and I’m a have ‘em checkin’ pulses
They say choose wisely, that’s why I was chosen
Rocking like asphalt, it’s the cash fault
Looked in the face of death and took it’s mask off
Now I like my house big and my grass soft
I like my girl face South and her ass North
But I’m Ray Charles to the bullshit
Now hop up on that dick and do a full split!
She just started to pop it for a nigga
And look back and tell me, “Baby, it’s real”
And I say I ain’t doubt you for a second
I squeeze it and I can tell how it feel
I wish we could take off and go anywhere but here
Baby, you know the deal
And she bad, so maybe she won’t
Uh, but shit, then again, maybe she will
Yeah
Do it for the realest niggas in the fuckin’ game right now
She will, yeah
Do it for the realest niggas in the fuckin’ game right now
She will, she will, she will
Maybe for the money and the power and the fame right now
She will, she will, she will
Do it for the realest niggas in the fuckin’ game right now
She will, she will, she will
(Ladies and gentleman, Drizzy)
She just started to pop it for a nigga
And look back and tell me, “Baby, it’s real”
And I say I ain’t doubt you for a second
I squeeze it and I can tell how it feel
I wish we could take off and go anywhere but here
Baby, you know the deal
And she bad, so maybe she won’t
Uh, but shit, then again, maybe she will
Yeah
Do it for the realest niggas in the fuckin’ game right now
She will, yeah
Do it for the realest niggas in the fuckin’ game right now
She will, she will, she will
Maybe for the money and the power and the fame right now
She will, she will, she will
Do it for the realest niggas in the fuckin’ game right now
She will, she will, she will

Robert's got a quick hand
He'll look around the room
He won't tell you his plan
He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth
He's a cowboy kid
Yeah, he found a six shooter gun
In his dad’s closet, hidden in a box of fun things
I don't even know what
But he's coming for you
Yeah, he's coming for you
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
Daddy works a long day
He be coming home late
He's coming home late
And he's bringing me a surprise
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice
I've waited for a long time
Yeah, the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger
I reason with my cigarette
And say your hair's on fire
You must have lost your wits, yeah
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
Run, run, run, run...
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet

Got stacks on deck like he savin' up
And he ill, he real, he might gotta deal
He pop bottles and he got the right kind of build

If you ever leave me, baby
Leave some morphine at my door
Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have
We don't have it anymore
There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor, oh
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm making
Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walking out the door
Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain
Rain, rain
I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Ooh if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Saying there goes my little girl
Walking with that troublesome guy
But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Oh well little darling watch me change their minds
Yea for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine
Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain
Rain, rain
Oh don't you say
Goodbye, don't just say, goodbye
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right
Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain
Rain, rain
