Uptown
Drake & lil wayne Lyrics

Yeah, uh huh
Agreement with something being said

Uh, hardly home but always reppin',
I am often traveling, but I never forget where I come from.

You hardly on and always second,
You don't put in as much effort as me and you're always in second place.

When I'm awake you always restin',
I'm working hard while you're lazy and unproductive.

And when they call you the answer you will hardly question,
You are quick to accept what you hear without questioning it.

I, I'm doin' classic shit in all my sessions,
I am creating timeless music in all of my recording sessions.

Other nigga's situations they are all depressin',
The situations that other people are in are all depressing.

That's why I never follow y'all suggestions,
I make my own decisions and don't take advice from others who are not on my level.

I just always did my own thing,
I have always pursued my own interests and goals, without letting others influence me.

Now I run the game, you stupid mudda-suckas
I am at the top of my game and in charge, while others are left behind.

I see all this money through my Ohio State buck eyes,
I see all of the money I make through the perspective of someone from Ohio State, where I went to school.

Shit been goin' good, but good can turn to better,
Things have been going well, but they could be even better if I work harder.

Cause you the type to lose her, and I'm about to get her
You are the type to let people slip away, while I am able to keep them close.

It's okay
It's okay, no need to worry.

You can run and tell your friends that
You can go tell your friends that something happened.

I'm on
I am successful and doing well.

Best believe I understand
You can believe that I know what's going on.

You can run and tell my city
You can go tell everyone in my city what's going on.

You can run and tell my city it's on
I am doing great things for my city and everyone should know about it.

Yeah, wrong way down a one way,
I am going the wrong direction on a one way street.

Women don't get saved 'round me even on a Sunday,
Women can't rely on me to save them, even on a day of rest like Sunday.

Damn where I get it from, these niggas always wonder who,
People wonder where I got my talent and skills from.

Then they meet my pop and tell 'em, "Drake is just a younger you"
When people meet my father, they tell him that I am just like him, only younger.

And shawty wanna party so don't let yo girl up out the house
This girl wants to party, so make sure your girlfriend doesn't leave the house and get caught up in it.

Or there'll be shots on TMZ, of me givin' her mouth-to-mouth,
If your girlfriend leaves the house and something happens to her, the media will blame me for it.

Now she's famous and the paparazzi starts to shoot her,
If something happens to your girlfriend, she will become famous and the paparazzi will start taking pictures of her.

I drive two black cars I named 'em Malcom X an' Martin Luther
I named my two black cars after two historical figures who fought for civil rights.

I don't ever play but I'm in the game lady,
I take everything I do seriously, even when I'm just playing a game.

They just loose to love, those are tennis games lady,
Other people are shallow in their love, it's like a game of tennis where they always lose.

Have you countin' money goin' duffle bag crazy,
I will have you earning so much money that you'll be going crazy with duffle bags full of cash.

Sippin' on Pink Floyd an puffin' Wayne Brady,
I like to drink and smoke while listening to Pink Floyd and Wayne Brady.

Damn, who's line is it anyways,
I don't know who is in charge here.

I'm in a daze, you been amazed,
I am in a trance-like state and people are impressed with my abilities.

Y'all seem to be stuck on that beginner stage,
Other people seem to be stuck at the beginner stage, while I have moved on to greater things.

I'm on fire, yup I've been a blaze,
I am on a roll and have been for a while.

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

You look nice, and yo' frame, makes me wanna bowl a strike
You look good and I am attracted to you.

Well alright, guess I might, know what? Fuck it, yes I will,
I am giving in to my temptation and will pursue you.

I am more than what you bargained for and nothin' less than real
I am a valuable and authentic person, worth more than what you expected.

Put it to you like
Let me explain it to you this way.

Bun B King of the Trill also one of the dopest,
Bun B is one of the greatest rappers and considered the king of the Trill genre.

Whether the streets or on the mic, I'm dope and yes I'm focused,
I am great both in the streets and on the microphone, and I am focused on my craft.

That gangsta recognize me for my locc ness no joke it's,
Other gangsters recognize me for my authenticity, it's not a joke.

Time to shake these haters off like the skin of a Locus,
It's time to shake off the haters like a Locust sheds its skin.

Or maybe like a python that's the type a shit I'm on,
Maybe more like a python that is ready to strike at any moment, that's how I am feeling.

I wrote this on my iPhone so let me drop this iBomb,
I wrote this on my iPhone, so let me drop this explosive verse.

I palm the game like its a Splading ball and take flight,
I control the game like a basketball, and I am taking off like I'm flying.

From the free throw line and slam it down like I'm the great Mike
I am making an amazing move similar to the classic dunk from the free throw line by Michael Jordan.

Bun an Wayne an Drake in here man this goin' be a great night,
Bun B, Lil Wayne, and Drake are all here, so it's going to be a great night.

Look at all these posers bite, our swagger like a great white,
All of these people are copying us, our swagger is like that of a great white shark.

Try to cross me over I just fake left then I break right,
If you try to fool me, I will see it coming and outsmart you.

Stupid animal tricks like David Letterman's Late Night,
People who are less talented than us resort to silly tricks, like on David Letterman's Late Night show.

This that major moment you've been waitin' on for too long,
This is the major moment you have been waiting for, for too long.

The best that ever did it an doin' it on a new song,
I am the best person at what I do, and I am doing it on this new song.

U-G-K an Young Money too strong
The combination of UGK and Young Money is unbeatable.

Bound to be in the green like a crouton,
We are going to make a lot of money, like a green crouton.

So what the fuck is you on?
What are you doing or what are you thinking?

I am the leather jacket, black glasses, All-American bad boy
I am the cool, rebellious type, with a leather jacket and black glasses, representing American youth culture.

I own the swagger supermarket an' you, you just a bag boy
I have all the swagger and confidence, while you are just a follower.

Cause I got that swag boy, the swag you never had boy
I have a special kind of swagger that you could never possess.

Hate an' I will leave ya chest the color of my flag boy
If you hate on me, I will physically harm you until your chest matches the color of my flag.

Soo woo bitch, I do this shit, I'll erase you like I drew you bitch
I am a member of the Bloods gang and I can take you out just as easily as I created you.

An' I keep that toaster you can come an be my strudel bitch
I have a gun and you can be the unlucky target, like a strudel in a toaster.

I'm so uptown, and motherfucker look at Wayne
I am so cool and on top of my game, and Lil Wayne is with me.

Don't go uptown yeah
Don't try to be as cool as me, because you can't.

And now I'm on this rock shit,
I am now making a rock music track.

But why they let me in I'm a start shootin' in a mosh pit, ha ha
Even though I don't typically make rock music, people are still letting me in and I'm ready to party in the mosh pit.

Fuck is you talkin' bout, Weezy in ya mouth now
Stop talking nonsense because Lil Wayne is here now.

Weezy whatchu talkin' bout
Lil Wayne is asking you what you're talking about.
