Fireworks
Drake Lyrics

Money just changed everything
Financial success has brought significant change in my life.

I wonder how life without it would go
I contemplate what my life would be like without financial success.

From the concrete who knew that a flower would grow
I reflect on how unexpected success can be, much like a flower growing in concrete.

Looking down from the top and it's crowded below
From a position of success, I observe the chaos and struggle of those below.

My fifteen minutes started an hour ago
My moment of fame has already begun, and time is fleeting.

Truth over fame, you know I respect the blatant shit
I prioritize honesty over fame and appreciate those who speak their minds freely.

When I hear 'em talking, I just don't know what to make of it
I struggle to understand the conversations and opinions of those around me.

Hate is so familiar to me, I'm slowly embracing it
I am familiar with hate and am gradually learning to accept it.

Doesn't come natural, bear with me, it could take a bit
Accepting hate is difficult for me, but I ask for patience as I work through it.

Yeah and my dreams are who I'm racing with
My biggest competition is myself, and I am racing towards my dreams.

But you can see I'm pacing it so that I'm always chasing it
I am managing my approach to ensure that I am always working towards my goals.

Wayne put me right here, that's who I get the paper with
Lil Wayne helped me achieve success, and we continue to make money together.

I hope that my success never alters our relationship
I value my relationship with Lil Wayne and hope that our financial success never impacts it negatively.

Yeah, this life is something I would die for
My life and the success it has brought is extremely important to me.

October's Own but it's looking like July 4
My label, October's Own, is thriving like the Fourth of July.

I just wish they'd let you try it first
I wish people had the opportunity to experience success before judging it.

This time I'm really going off, fireworks
I am determined to make a big impression and achieve great things.

Oh, today it begins
A new chapter in my life is starting.

I've missed them before
I have missed opportunities like this in the past.

But won't miss them again
I am committed to making the most of this opportunity.

I keep having the same dream
I keep dreaming about this same moment and what it means for me.

And I think I just realized what it means
I believe I have finally understood the significance of this moment.

All I see is fireworks
This moment is exciting and overwhelming, like fireworks in the sky.

Every night it's fireworks
I am constantly reminded of this exciting moment.

Taking off like fireworks
My career is taking off and gaining momentum, just like fireworks in the sky.

I'm just such a gentleman, you should give it up for me
I pride myself on being a kind and polite person, and believe I am worthy of recognition for it.

Look at how I'm placing all my napkins and my cutlery
I am highlighting my attention to detail and good manners.

I could tell it wasn't love, I just thought you'd fuck with me
I knew our relationship wasn't based on love, but I thought we were just having some fun.

Who could of predicted Lucky Strike would have you stuck with me
I am surprised that something as simple as smoking could lead to a relationship with this person.

Damn, I kept my wits about me luckily
I am grateful that I was able to handle the situation with composure.

What happened between us that night? It always seems to trouble me
I am haunted by the details of that night and our relationship.

Now all of a sudden, these gossip rags want to cover me
The media is suddenly interested in me and my life.

And you making it seem that it happened that way because of me
This person is blaming me for our relationship, even though it was a mutual decision.

But I was curious
I was interested in exploring my feelings for this person.

And I'll never forget it, baby, what an experience
Our relationship was a memorable experience for me.

You could've been the one but it wasn't that serious
I had feelings for this person, but the relationship was not meant to be.

There was smoke in the air before, that was me clearing it
I was the one who caused tension in the relationship, and I am now trying to resolve it.

That felt good, all in all, I learned a lesson from it though
Resolving the tension in our relationship felt good, and I learned a valuable lesson from it.

You never see it coming, you just get to see it go
It's hard to predict the end of a relationship, you just have to watch it happen.

Yeah, I should've looked up in the sky at first
I should have been more aware of the potential consequences of our relationship.

Now I can see it in her eyes, fireworks
I am now able to see the excitement and passion in this person's eyes, like fireworks.

Everything's the same but it feels different
Things haven't really changed, but they feel different after my recent experiences.

My dad called me up knowing that I still listen
My father knows I still value his input and called to offer me advice.

And he's still got his foot out, guilt trippin'
My father is still trying to control my decisions and make me feel guilty.

It's been years though, I just learn to deal with it
I've learned to manage my relationship with my father, even though it can be difficult.

For real, me and my realtor, we built up a better rapport
My realtor and I have a good working relationship and have achieved success together.

Got my mother in a place with some better decor
I was able to provide my mother with a nicer living space.

She searched the entire city, I let her explore
I allowed my mother to take charge of finding a new place to live, and she searched the entire city.

And now she's saying she's more lonely than ever before
Even though my mother has a nicer place to live, she still feels lonely.

How many of our parents marriages lasted?
I am reflecting on how long-lasting marriages used to be.

I was only 5, I bet I barely reacted
I was too young to fully understand the impact of my parents' divorce.

I'm flying back home for the Heritage Classic
I am returning home to attend a sporting event with historical significance.

Searching for that feeling, tell me where is the magic
I am looking for a feeling of excitement and passion, and questioning where it has gone.

Let's stay together 'til we're ghosts
I want to maintain relationships with the people in my life until the very end.

I want to witness love, I never seen it close
I am searching for examples of true love and have never experienced it firsthand.

Yeah, but I guess I gotta find it first
I need to find true love before I can fully understand it.

That's why I'm really going off, fireworks
I am determined to achieve success in love and life, just like fireworks in the sky.
