Uptown
Bun B Feat. Drake Lyrics

Yeah, uh huh
Expressing agreement or affirmation

Uh, hardly home but always reppin',
I may not be home often, but I always represent and show loyalty

You hardly on and always second,
You're rarely present and always in a secondary position

When I'm awake you always restin',
When I'm active, you're always inactive or lazy

And when they call you the answer you will hardly question,
You rarely question or challenge when you're referred to as the answer

I, I'm doin' classic shit in all my sessions,
I'm creating timeless and influential work in all my creative sessions

Other nigga's situations they are all depressin',
The situations of other individuals are all disheartening or discouraging

That's why I never follow y'all suggestions,
I don't listen to or follow the advice or suggestions of others

I just always did my own thing,
I always followed my own path or pursued my own interests

Now I run the game, you stupid mudda-suckas
I am now in control and dominating the industry, addressing those who doubted me

I see all this money through my Ohio State buck eyes,
I have a clear vision of the wealth and success I've achieved, referencing Ohio State's mascot, the Buckeyes

Shit been goin' good, but good can turn to better,
Things have been going well for me, but there is always room for improvement

Cause you the type to lose her, and I'm about to get her
You're the type of person to lose the girl, but I'm about to win her over

Yeah, wrong way down a one way,
Going against the norm or doing things unconventionally

Women don't get saved 'round me even on a Sunday,
I don't commit or settle down with women, not even on a day traditionally associated with rest or repentance

Damn where I get it from, these niggas always wonder who,
Others are always curious about the source of my talent or success

Then they meet my pop and tell 'em, "Drake is just a younger you"
Once they meet my father, they understand that I inherited his skills and qualities

And shawty wanna party so don't let yo girl up out the house
A woman wants to have fun, so make sure your girlfriend doesn't leave the house

Or there'll be shots on TMZ, of me givin' her mouth-to-mouth,
If she gets into trouble, I'll be there to save her, and it will be captured by paparazzi

Now she's famous and the paparazzi starts to shoot her,
Now that she's in the public eye, the paparazzi are eager to take her photos

I drive two black cars I named 'em Malcom X an' Martin Luther
I own two black cars, which I've named after influential civil rights leaders Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr.

I don't ever play but I'm in the game lady,
I don't engage in meaningless or frivolous activities, but I'm still involved in the game (music industry)

They just loose to love, those are tennis games lady,
Others may play games in their relationships, but I take love seriously and don't play games

Have you countin' money goin' duffle bag crazy,
I'll have you overwhelmed with the amount of money we're making

Sippin' on Pink Floyd an puffin' Wayne Brady,
I'm enjoying luxurious experiences, smoking marijuana, and drinking expensive champagne

Damn, who's line is it anyways,
I'm uncertain about who has control or authority in a situation

I'm in a daze, you been amazed,
I'm in a state of confusion or surprise, while others are impressed by me

Y'all seem to be stuck on that beginner stage,
Others appear to be stagnant or inexperienced in comparison

I'm on fire, yup I've been a blaze,
I'm incredibly successful or talented and have been for a long time

I got dough to blow, but I wanna blow it right,
I have a lot of money to spend, but I want to make sure I spend it wisely

You look nice, and yo' frame, makes me wanna bowl a strike
You look attractive, and your body makes me want to make a perfect or impressive move

Well alright, guess I might, know what? Fuck it, yes I will,
Okay, I think I will take action or pursue something without hesitation

I am more than what you bargained for and nothin' less than real
I exceed your expectations and I'm always authentic

Put it to you like
Let me explain it to you

I am the leather jacket, black glasses, All-American bad boy
I embody the rebellious and cool image of an All-American bad boy with my leather jacket and black glasses

I own the swagger supermarket an' you, you just a bag boy
I possess immense confidence and style, while you are simply a subordinate or inferior

Cause I got that swag boy, the swag you never had boy
I possess a unique and unparalleled swag or style that you could never match

Hate an' I will leave ya chest the color of my flag boy
If you hate on me, I'll leave you bruised or harmed, resembling the color of my flag (symbolic of loyalty and pride)

Soo woo bitch, I do this shit, I'll erase you like I drew you bitch
I represent a specific gang affiliation (soo woo), and I excel at what I do, so I can eliminate you effortlessly if necessary

An' I keep that toaster you can come an be my strudel bitch
I possess a weapon (toaster) and you can become a victim if you mess with me

I'm so uptown, and motherfucker look at Wayne
I'm from an upscale or affluent area, and look at how successful and influential Wayne is

Don't go uptown yeah
Don't try to compete with or emulate our success

And now I'm on this rock shit,
I'm focusing on and excelling in the rock genre of music

But why they let me in I'm a start shootin' in a mosh pit, ha ha
However, even though I'm new to this genre, I will make a huge impact and cause chaos in a mosh pit (energetic crowd)

Fuck is you talkin' bout, Weezy in ya mouth now
What are you even talking about? Lil Wayne is now involved and will silence you

Weezy whatchu talkin' bout
Lil Wayne is addressing someone who is questioning or doubting him
