Too Much
Drake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Cool)
Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much
There's no need for us to rush it through
Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much
This is more than just a new lust for you
(Oh, don't think about)
Done sayin' I'm done playin'
Last time was on the outro
Stuck in the house, need to get out more
I've been stackin' up like I'm fundraising
Most people in my position get complacent
Wanna come places with star girls
And they end up on them front pages
I'm quiet with it, I just ride with it
Moment I stop having fun with it, I'll be done with it
I'm the only one that's putting shots up
And like a potluck, you need to come with it, don't run from it
Like H-Town in the summertime, I keep it 100
Met a lot of girls in my times there
And word to Paul Wall, not one fronted
I was birthed there in my first year
Man, I know that place like I come from it
Backstage at Warehouse in '09 like, "Is Bun coming?
Fuck that, is anyone comin' 'fore I show up there and there's no one there?"
These days, I could probably pack it for like twenty nights if I go in there
Back rub from my main thing, I've been stressed out
Talkin' to her like back then they didn't want me, I'm blessed now
Talkin' to her like this drop, bet a million copies get pressed out
She tell me, "Take a deep breath, you're too worried about being the best out"
Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much
There's no need for us to rush it through
Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much
This is more than just a new lust for you
(Oh, don't think about)
Uh, someone go tell Noel to get the Backwoods
Money got my whole family going backwards
No dinners, no holidays, no nothin'
There's issues at hand that we're not discussin'
I did not sign up for this
My uncle used to have all these things on his bucket list
And now he's actin' like, "Oh, well, this is life, I guess"
Nah, fuck that shit
Listen man, you can still do what you wanna do, you gotta trust that shit
Heard once that in dire times when you need a sign, that's when they appear
Guess since my text message didn't resonate, I'll just say it here
I hate the fact my mom cooped up in her apartment
Telling herself that she's too sick to get dressed up and go do shit
Like that's true shit
And all my family from the M-Town that I've been 'round
Started treating me like I'm "him" now
Like we don't know each other, we ain't grow together, we just friends now
Shit got me feeling pinned down, pick the pen up or put the pen down
I'm writing to you from a distance like a pen-pal, but we've been down
Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much
There's no need for us to rush it through
Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much
This is more than just a new lust for you
Oh, don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much
There's no need for us to rush it through, oh
Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much
This is more than just a new lust for you, oh, oh
Don't feel like, you give up
And your heart's done
And your love's done
Don't give up

Heard once that in dire times when you need a sign, that's when they appear
In tough times, a sign or solution may present itself when least expected
Guess since my text message didn't resonate, I'll just say it here
Since his message wasn't received via text, he is saying it aloud
I hate the fact my mom cooped up in her apartment
Feeling upset that his mother is isolated and not enjoying life
Telling herself that she's too sick to get dressed up and go do shit
His mother is convincing herself that she's too ill to go out and have fun
Like that's true shit
Emphasizes that this is a real issue and not just an excuse
And all my family from the M-Town that I've been 'round
Refers to his family from Memphis, Tennessee, where he grew up
Started treating me like I'm "him" now
His family treats him differently now that he's famous
Like we don't know each other, we ain't grow together, we just friends now
Feels like his family is acting like they're just acquaintances, not close family
Shit got me feeling pinned down, pick the pen up or put the pen down
Feeling trapped and stuck, but trying to decide if he wants to continue writing music
I'm writing to you from a distance like a pen-pal, but we've been down
Feels like he's writing to his family as if they're strangers, but they have history together
Don't feel like, you give up
Don't lose hope or give up
And your heart's done
Even when you feel defeated emotionally
And your love's done
Even when you feel like you've given up on love
Don't give up
Keep pushing through and don't lose hope

Wanna come places with star girls, and they end up on them front pages
I'm quiet but I just ride with it
Moment I stop havin' fun with it, I'll be done with it
