My Side
Drake (www.Rap3da.net) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This shit sound like what being rich feel like, fo real
This life shit is everywhere, you can't control it
Too much going on
Too much, too much, too much
Too much, too much, too much
You, you, you
Make me wanna take you down through there
I'll take it there
Why you never come to where I stay?
Always hiding out in your New York condo
Why you never come to where I stay?
If anybody knows, girl, you know, I know
Why are we wasting our relationship on a relationship?
Why are we rushing and forcing it?—this isn't making sense
Why are we focused on things
That don't even mean nothing, girl?
Why can we not find the time
And sit down and discuss it, girl?
Let me at least tell you my side of things, man
Aw, man, aw, man, aw, man
Me and you are playing house
Start thinking that I'm losing touch
Got a tight grip on you now
Maybe I should loosen up
When I leave you and I go home
I start forgetting what it is
Start to think I got to get it how I live
We too busy for a wedding or a kid
If I'm working then I know you working
Keep in touch with other women
Cause you make me nervous
I empower girls that don't deserve it
I don't mean to do that shit on purpose
It's just that when I go home
I start forgetting what it is
The dream is over, I get lost up in the 6
And you don't ever come to where I stay
You just rather stay up in your New York condo
You don't ever come to where I stay
If anybody knows, girl you know, I know
Why are we wasting our relationship on a relationship?
You know how sticky these situations get
You go up higher than me some days
You know what I think we could be some day
Let me at least show you my side of things, man
Aw, man, aw, man, aw, man
The song "My Side" by Drake is a reflection on the complexities and challenges of a modern relationship. The first verse sets the tone for the song, describing the feelings of being rich and powerful, yet at the same time overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life that cannot be controlled. The chorus is repeated twice, emphasizing the disconnection between the two partners in the relationship, who keep missing each other and not finding the time to communicate and discuss their issues.
The second verse is more introspective and reveals the insecurities and doubts that plague one of the partners. Drake portrays himself as someone who is too preoccupied with work and the pursuit of success, to the point where he forgets what truly matters in life. He admits to feeling nervous about his partner's interactions with other people and acknowledges his tendency to empower girls who do not deserve it. The final chorus is a plea for understanding and empathy, as Drake wishes to communicate his side of things and find a way to reconcile with his partner.
Overall, "My Side" is a poignant and honest exploration of the difficulties that arise in modern relationships, where success and ambition sometimes clash with love and intimacy.

You always prefer to stay in New York instead of coming to visit me in Toronto
You go up higher than me some days You know what I think we could be some day
I sometimes feel like you have more success than me, but I also believe that we could be a great team
Let me at least show you my side of things, man
I want to share my perspective, so you can better understand me and our relationship
