Too Much
Drake Lyrics

Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, too much
Stop overthinking and stressing about it excessively

There's no need for us to rush it through
No need to hurry or rush things

This is more than just a new lust for you
This relationship is more than just physical attraction

Done sayin' I'm done playin'
Done pretending, done with the games

Last time was on the outro
The last time things did not end well

Stuck in the house, need to get out more
Feeling claustrophobic, need to go out and have fun

I've been stackin' up like I'm fundraising
Accumulating wealth like a fundraiser collects funds

Most people in my position get complacent
Many successful people become content and stop striving for more

Wanna come places with star girls
Wants to hang out with famous girls

And they end up on them front pages
Refers to paparazzi taking photos of celebrities for front-page news

I'm quiet with it, I just ride with it
Stays low-key, goes with the flow

Moment I stop having fun with it, I'll be done with it
If it stops being enjoyable, will quit doing it

I'm the only one that's putting shots up
Only one taking action, making things happen

And like a potluck, you need to come with it, don't run from it
Like a potluck meal, everyone needs to contribute, not back down

Like H-Town in the summertime, I keep it 100
Keeps it real all the time, like Houston during summer

Met a lot of girls in my times there
Has met many girls during visits to Houston

And word to Paul Wall, not one fronted
Acknowledges Houston rapper Paul Wall and how the girls don't pretend to be someone they're not

I was birthed there in my first year
Referring to his Houston roots, where he was born and spent his first year of life

Man, I know that place like I come from it
Feels a special connection to Houston like he grew up there

Backstage at Warehouse in '09 like, "Is Bun coming?
Recalls being backstage at a venue in 2009 and wondering if rapper Bun B will show up

Fuck that, is anyone comin' 'fore I show up there and there's no one there?"
Concerned about attendance and not wanting to perform to an empty crowd

These days, I could probably pack it for like twenty nights if I go in there
Now, he could easily sell out that venue for twenty nights in a row

Back rub from my main thing, I've been stressed out
His significant other is giving him a massage to relieve his stress

Talkin' to her like back then they didn't want me, I'm blessed now
Reflecting on his past struggles and appreciating his success now

Talkin' to her like this drop, bet a million copies get pressed out
Predicting that his new music will sell millions

She tell me, "Take a deep breath, you're too worried about being the best out"
His partner reminds him to calm down and not worry about being the best all the time

Uh, someone go tell Noel to get the Backwoods
Requesting someone to go get cigarillos for smoking marijuana

Money got my whole family going backwards
His newfound wealth is causing problems and changes within his family

No dinners, no holidays, no nothin'
His family is missing out on important events and gatherings due to money issues

There's issues at hand that we're not discussin'
Family problems are not being talked about but still affecting everyone

I did not sign up for this
Didn't expect or plan for these problems to arise

My uncle used to have all these things on his bucket list
Uncle had dreams and goals he wanted to accomplish before he died

And now he's actin' like, "Oh, well, this is life, I guess"
Uncle has given up on his bucket list dreams and just accepts life's struggles

Nah, fuck that shit
Does not want to accept defeat or give up on dreams

Listen man, you can still do what you wanna do, you gotta trust that shit
Encouraging uncle to keep striving for his dreams and trust in himself

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
