Pipe Down
Drake Lyrics

Said you belong to the streets but the streets belong to me
You may be associated with the streets, but ultimately, they are under my control and protection

It's like home to me (she belongs to the streets)
Being on the streets is comfortable and familiar to me, even if it means being associated with promiscuity

I tatted your passport up Now it's lookin' like a arm sleeve Just know that was all me
I heavily marked and changed your identity in order to keep you, and it was completely my doing

And when you see Chanel, I wish that's how you saw me That shit you tell Chanel, I wish that's how you called me That raw shit, that honesty, yeah You know I love you more than all them niggas put together And it's a lot of niggas' trust, I put the list together And it's a lot just to assume we're meant to be together You gotta live that shit for real, you can't just say whatever
I want you to love and treat me like you do Chanel, with raw honesty and respect, because I love you more than anyone else ever could. But, it takes more than just talking about it, we actually need to live our love.

You could never tell nobody that you held me down If it was ride or die then you should've been dead right now
You are not allowed to talk to anyone about how you've been there for me, because if you truly had my back, you would have put your life on the line for me.

So I don't get how you're yelling at me How much I gotta spend for you to pipe down? (Pipe down) How deep I gotta dig for you to pipe down? (Pipe down) All the things I've done up until right now (right now) I need a thousand pages just to write it down (write it down) Writing down these feelings, it's been overdue (overdue) Don't know how many pens it's gonna take to get over you How much I gotta pen for you to pipe down? (Pipe down) How deep I gotta dig for you to pipe down?
I don't understand why you're getting upset with me. How much money do I need to spend on you to make you stop talking? I've done so much for you and it's overwhelming to remember it all. I don't know how many more pens it will take for me to process my feelings and move on from you.

Tried to run it back a hundred times The world is yours, but the city's mine I can't believe you put it on your mother's life I can't believe you told me it was ride or die 'Cause you're not here, somehow you're still alive True enough I know you're from the other side I set my expectations way too high Yeah, and I would listen to the lies that you would tell all night Angel eyes, but you've been giving me hell all night I know the book that you would write is a tell-some, not a tell-all Just to make sure you well off, you would sell all rights Why does your ex think we beefin', is that man alright? That nigga can't even look at me, he fell off twice And I'm back poppin', I still remember the day I saw you I was on your ass like back pockets Niggas love to hate, but what is that stopping? So much shit I wanted to say, straight to your face But you're so two-faced, that I don't know which face You're the reason we'll be going separate ways You're the reason we cannot communicate It's not the things you say, it's what you don't say I'm not in your way, you're in your own way
I tried numerous times to reconcile with you, but the betrayal and dishonesty was too much to handle. You claimed to be loyal, but you aren't even present in my life. I understand that you come from a different background, but I had high hopes for our relationship. You lied to me all night and caused me great distress. I know that the book you would write about us would only reveal selective information. Your ex seems to think we have a conflict, but that man is no longer on my level. I came back stronger than ever and saw right through your facade. There were so many things that I wanted to say to you, but it's difficult when you have so many different sides. Our relationship has ruined any chance of effective communication between us, and I believe you are getting in your own way.

Baby, pipe down Ooh, ooh, ooh
Please stop talking and calm down
