Furthest Thing
Drake Lyrics

Somewhere between psychotic and iconic
I'm walking a fine line between madness and greatness

Somewhere between I want it and I got it
I'm struggling to balance wanting more and being content with what I have

Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifted
I'm struggling to find a balance between sobriety and getting high

Somewhere between a mistress and commitment
I'm struggling with the choice between having a mistress and being committed to someone

But I stay down, girl I always stay down Get down, have her lay down Promise to break everybody off before I break down
I may be struggling, but I promise to keep going and take care of everyone in my life

Everyone just wait now So much on my plate now People I believed in they don't even show they face now What they got to say now? Nothin' they can say now
I'm overwhelmed with responsibilities and people who have let me down are not worth my time anymore

Nothin' really changed but still they look at me a way now What more can I say now? What more can I say now?
Despite nothing changing, people's perceptions of me have changed and there's little I can do to change it

You might feel like nothin' was the same
Things have changed so much, it's like nothing is the same anymore

I still been drinkin' on the low Mobbin' on the low Fuckin' on the low Smokin' on the low I still been plottin' on the low Schemin' on the low The furthest thing from perfect Like everyone I know
I'm doing all these things secretly and I, like everyone else, am far from perfect

And I hate that you don't think I belong to ya Just too busy runnin' shit to run home to ya You know that paper my passion Bittersweet celebrations, I know I can't change what happened
I hate that you don't think I'm loyal to you, but my career is important and I can't change the past

I can't help it I can't help it I was young and I was selfish I made every woman feel like she was mine and no one else's And now you hate me
I couldn't help myself, I was young and selfish, and now you hate me for it

Stop pretendin', stop that frontin' I can't take it Girl don't treat me like a stranger Girl you know I seen ya naked Girl you know that I remember, don't be a pretender Gettin' high at the condo, that's when it all comes together
Stop pretending and treating me like a stranger, I know you and I have been intimate before, stop pretending otherwise

You know I stay remniscin' And makeup sex is tradition But you been missin' girl And you might feel like nothin' was the same
I keep thinking back to when we used to have makeup sex, but things haven't been the same since you've been gone

This the life for me My mama told me this was right for me I got em worried, like make sure you save a slice for me
This life is what I was meant for, my mother told me so, and it has others worried that I may not save a place for them in my success

I should have Spoons, serve you up with a fork and knife for me Your actions make us doubt you Your lack of effort got me rappin' different
I should have all the fineries, and your actions make us doubt your allegiance and loyalty, they affect how I write my raps

This the shit I wanna go out to Play this shit at my funeral if they catch me slippin'
This is the music I want to be remembered by, and to play at my funeral if I die tragically

Naked women swimming that's just how I'm living Donate a million to some children, that's just how I'm feeling A nigga filling up arenas, who the fuck can see us I had to Derrick Rose the knee up before I got the re-up Yours truly the boy I just build and build more Y'all niggas build and destroy You niggas party too much, man I just chill and record No filler, you feel it now if you ain't feel it before Yes Lord, this the shit I wanna go out to, yeah This the shit I wanna go out to
I'm living lavishly with naked women swimming around me, but I also want to give back and donate to children. I'm a successful artist who can fill arenas, but I had to overcome obstacles to get there. I just keep building while others destroy. I prefer to chill and make music rather than party excessively.
