Ah man, fresh up out the sand
I've just come back from vacation feeling energized

February 10, it's the boy, but I'm still the man
It's my birthday, but I'm still the same guy

Come and get your mans
Go take care of your people

I don't know, first you caught the hands then you took the stand
I don't understand why you fought back and then testified

It's a joke, but you say you real
You are fake, but you claim to be authentic

On a yacht, me and all the dogs actin' like some dogs
I'm on a boat with my friends having a good time

We evolved, used to think vacation meant Niagara Falls
We've come a long way and now we go on more luxurious vacations

Swear to God, shout to Buffalo
I'm telling the truth and giving a shoutout to my hometown

Never duckin' low
I'll never back down or be scared

I don't stop, man I'm stuck on go
I'm constantly moving forward and pursuing success

Always hug the row, fuck a opp
I stick with my people and don't give my enemies any attention

Make his body roll, yeah a lot of those
I've taken down a lot of people in the past

Started out doing college shows, Calipari flow
I began performing at college venues with a style like John Calipari

Then I popped like you never seen
Then I became incredibly successful and famous

We with everything
We have everything we could want

I went off in the '16, give me '17
I did well in 2016 and am expecting an even better year in 2017

Want a lot, can't have everything
I desire a lot, but I can't have everything I want

Bad attitude, tellin' who to calm down?
Why do you have a bad attitude and tell others to calm down?

Tryna cool it all down
Trying to pacify the situation

Who's callin' my name? Who's involved now?
Who is trying to get my attention? Who is causing problems?

Tell me who I gotta down
Tell me who I need to take down or fight

I'll do a song now, man even though there's way less to prove to y'all now
I'll still create music even though I have less to prove to my fans and critics now

Man, everything that went around is comin' back around
Karma is involved and what goes around comes around

Y'all better hit the ground, god damn
You should be scared and take cover

Be forever unfinished
Always have room for improvement and never be satisfied

Yeah, it's all open ended
The future is uncertain and there are many possibilities

Had me all for a minute
You had my attention for a short time

Had you all since beginning
I've been interested in you from the start

Damn, I must be coaching 'cause I'm not playin' with them
I must be leading because I'm not joking around with these people

Can you not see the difference?
Why can't you see the contrast?

I mean, I keep the fuckin' lights on in the building
I keep things running and I'm in charge

Man, my record deal should be five-hundred million, god damn
I deserve a huge amount of money for my music

Finally got my mind in a free state
I've cleared my mind and have a fresh perspective

Niggas tried to serve me up a cheese steak
People tried to present something unimpressive as a valuable item

I gave 'em back a clean plate
I declined and left empty-handed

Same niggas preein', 'cause they hate to see the team straight
The same people are jealous of our success

Same niggas beakin' always duckin' my release date
The same people always try to interfere and delay my projects

That's when the phone starts ringin', like, "Are we straight?"
That's when they reach out trying to make amends

Two-faced nigga back around with the three face, damn
Someone who was dishonest before is back now and has revealed yet another side

Ol' triple double, Russ face
A reference to the basketball player Russell Westbrook and his competitive face

Watch with the bust face
A poor quality watch with a broken face

Never met the plug, but I rap about the plug face
I've never met a drug dealer, but I rap about drug dealing

Never met myself, I don't remember who I was face
I don't recognize my old self and don't remember who I was

Y'all fuckin' hilarious
You guys are humorous, but not in a good way

Y'all really think y'all niggas teamin' up and scarin' us
You guys think that you can join forces and intimidate us

Y'all niggas is arrogant
You guys are egotistical and overconfident

Y'all sleep at the Sheraton
You guys stay at a basic hotel and aren't impressive

All that shit embarrassing
All of that is shameful

Tell your big homie I'm all for going there again
Tell your boss that I wouldn't mind fighting again

He ain't even die and I ball with his inheritance
He's not even dead and I'm already benefiting from his wealth

All that's in my account at the Bank Of America
All of my money is in my Bank of America account

All that Drake hysteria
All of the intense interest in Drake and his music

6 side, east side, all that for my area
I represent my neighborhood and my city

"You know hon' I'm a bit concerned about this negative tone That I'm hearing in your voice these days And I, I can appreciate where your uncertainty stems from And you have reason to question your anxieties And how disillusioned you feel As well as feeling skeptical about who you believe you can trust But that attitude will just hold you back in this life And you're going to continue to feel alienated Give some thought to this because I'm confident in you And I know that you can reach your desired destination and accomplish your goals Much more quickly without this confrontation That I'm hearing in your tone these days When others go low, we go high"
A voice of reason telling Drake to think positively and avoid negative attitudes, while lifting him up and motivating him to pursue his goals.
