Hype
Drake/Musicfire.in Lyrics

Man don't live off of the hype huh
One should not rely on superficial attention and meaningless praise.

Real ting eh
This is the truth.

Yeah
Affirmative response.

I pull up in Lexus' like it's '07
I arrive in a stylish and classic car.

I just hit a lick
I recently struck it rich.

I got to hit a next one
I need to keep my momentum going and make more money.

Last year I know you learned your lesson
You should have learned from your mistakes last year.

I could GPS you if you need some addressing
If necessary, I can give you directions to my location.

Boss up, I'm the bigger homie
I am the more successful and respected person in this relationship.

But I'm one year older than my little homie
However, I am only slightly older than my less experienced associate.

'09 they was biddin' on me
In 2009, people were competing to work with me.

But I'm Young Money, got it written on me
I represent the Young Money record label and have their name tattooed on my body.

Ok now we got some action
Things are starting to happen for us.

Everything I said, it happened
Everything I predicted came true.

That boy light as Michael Jackson
That person is very pale or weak.

But on verses he been blackin'
However, he raps with passion and energy.

Chasing women a distraction
Pursuing romantic interests is a waste of time and focus.

They want be on TV right next to me
Other people desire to be seen with me on television.

You cannot be here right next to me
You are not allowed to be physically close to me.

Don't you see Riri right next to me?
Can't you see that Rihanna is standing next to me?

I hate a rapper especially
I particularly dislike other rappers.

They feel the same but they hide it
They share my opinion but conceal it.

They just discuss it in private
They only talk about it when they are alone with each other.

Don't get along man, we tried it
We attempted to have a good relationship, but we failed.

What's the point in even trying
It is pointless to continue making an effort.

I hate a goofy especially
I particularly dislike silly or ridiculous people.

They always dying to mention me
They are always eager to bring up my name.

They gottao die out eventually
They will eventually be forgotten.

I could not give you the recipe
I cannot tell you how to achieve my level of success.

You know the game is so separately
You understand that there is a distinct way of doing things to be successful in this industry.

Swear I just had an epiphany
I just had a moment of sudden realization or insight.

It cost my 50 at Tiffany's
I spent $50,000 at Tiffany's jewelry store.

Shoutout to Tiffany's Stephanie
I am giving a shoutout to a specific employee at Tiffany's.

They used to always come check for me
People used to frequently visit or contact me.

My enemies want to be friends with my other enemies
People who dislike me are trying to ally with others who also dislike me.

I don't let it get to me
I do not allow it to bother or affect me.

Done
I am finished.

Look what I done in my life
Reflecting on my accomplishments.

I had to count it then count it again
I had to check and double-check my earnings.

To make sure the money was right
To verify that my income was accurate.

They love to talk
Other people enjoy gossiping about me.

Me, I'm just done in the hype
I am finished with relying on superficial fame and attention.

Me, I'm just done in the hype
I am finished with relying on superficial fame and attention.

Me I'm just done, done, done, done
I am completely finished with it all.

I don't take this shit for granted
I do not underestimate or undervalue my success.

I do my own propaganda
I control the messages and image that I project.

I feel like Juelz Santana
I feel as confident and charismatic as rapper Juelz Santana.

Leg hangin' out the Phantom
I am hanging my leg out of my Rolls-Royce Phantom car.

6 cold like Alaska
My album 'Views' is very cool and popular.

VIEWS already a classic
My album 'Views' is already a revered and beloved work.

Roy outta here like NASA
Roy Woods, a fellow artist signed to my label, is becoming very successful like NASA's spacecraft.

Bustin' 1's out the plastic
I am taking out stacks of $1 bills from plastic wrapping.

A gram, two poppin' to fuck
I have a gram of drugs and two condoms for sexual activity.

The chain too heavy to tuck it, I'm serious
My necklace is too big and heavy to be hidden; my desire for these items is genuine.

I feed my family with this
My success provides for my entire family's well-being.

So don't play with my money this summer I'm serious
Do not mess with my finances; I am not joking.

I don't run out of material
I am always able to come up with new and fresh content for my music.

You shouldn't speak on me, period
You should not talk about my achievements at all.

You tried to give 'em your side of the story
You attempted to share your perspective and explanation of events.

They heard it, but they wasn't hearing it
They listened, but did not understand or believe you.

They feeling a way and won't hide it
They are emotional and will not suppress their feelings.

Niggas done being silent
People are no longer willing to stay quiet about their opinions.

They got to go, they got to go
Those who do not support me or fail to understand me need to leave.

They gotta die out eventually
They will eventually be forgotten and irrelevant.

I cannot give 'em no empathy
I do not have the ability to sympathize with them.

I'mma have b's when I'm 70
I will still have millions of dollars when I am 70 years old.

They cannot fuck with the legacy
They cannot compare to my influential and lasting career.

I don't know what else is left for me
I am not sure what else I can achieve or do to surpass my success.

After this, no one a threat to me
I will have no competition or challengers after this accomplishment.

Done
I am finished.

Look what I done in my life
Reflecting on my accomplishments.

I had to count it then count it again
I had to check and double-check my earnings.

To make sure the money was right
To verify that my income was accurate.

They love to talk
Other people enjoy gossiping about me.

Me, I'm just done in the hype
I am finished with relying on superficial fame and attention.

Me, I'm just done in the hype
I am finished with relying on superficial fame and attention.

Me I'm just done, done, done, done, done
I am completely finished with it all.
