Drake - No Tellin' Lyrics

Envelopes coming in the mail, let her open em'
I receive mail with envelopes, and I let my woman open them for me.

Hopin' for a check again, ain't no tellin'
I hope to receive a check, but I am unsure if it will happen.

Yeah, she invite me to the telly
She invites me to her place.

Keep the blade with me when I go to check a bitch, ain't no' tellin
I carry a weapon with me when I go to see a woman because I am unsure of the situation.

Yeah, police comin' round' lookin' for some help on a case they gotta solve, we never help 'em
The police come to us for help with a case, but we never assist them.

Yeah, I stay up late at night, thinkin' bout' my life
I stay up late at night contemplating my life.

Want a lot, will I get it all? Ain't no tellin'
I have many desires, but I am uncertain whether I will attain them.

Ain't no tellin', yeah, ain't no tellin', Yeah, no tellin', Ain't no tellin'
There is no way to accurately predict what will happen.

Suitcase, I been living outta' suitcase
I have been living out of a suitcase.

Still drinkin' Henny, if it's done, I'll take the D'usse
I still drink Hennessy, but I will switch to D'usse if it is the only option.

Oops, aye, fuck it, all you niggas two-faced
I realize that some of my peers are two-faced, but I do not care.

Got the club going up on a Tuesday
I am popular enough to make the club lively on a Tuesday.

True say, I been going hard but then again
It is true that I have been working tirelessly, but it is nothing new.

They think I'm soft, think I'm innocent
Some people believe that I am weak or naive.

I'm just lookin' in the mirror like I'm really him
I am looking in the mirror and seeing the person I truly am.

Man, I'm really him, you just fillin' in, man
I am the real deal, and others are just imitating me.

I gotta blunt, can I get a light?
I have a blunt and need a lighter.

Yeah, I took the summer off to get it right
I took a break over the summer to improve myself.

Yeah, I gave these boys a shot and they fuckin' failed
I gave some people an opportunity, but they did not succeed.

Niggas like 'you took the summer off? we couldn't tell'
Peers are surprised that I took a summer break because they cannot tell I have changed.

Dog, just bought a island gotta sail to it
I just purchased an island that I need to sail to.

You pick the casket, I'll put the nail through it
I am not afraid to put anyone to rest.

I ain't gotta do it, but fuck it someone gotta do it
I do not have to complete a task, but I will do it anyways.

Hate if someone else did it, fuck, I may as well do it
If someone else did something, I would hate it, so I might as well do it myself.

I had to switch the flow up on you niggas
I changed my flow to surprise my peers.

The shit was gettin' too predictable
My previous style of music was too predictable.

The new shit on steroids, I would never pass a physical
My new music is so intense that it would not pass a physical exam.

I got it rollin' in all kinda ways, lump sum and residual, yeah
I am making money from all different sources and in various forms.

I mean we hear about the money you be gettin' but we just never see a visual
People hear about my earnings, but they have never seen what I have purchased with it.

It's our year (aw yeah), Aw yeah
This year is significant for me and my peers.

I mean besides Ricky Ross, Aubrey the biggest boss here (grunt)
Other than Rick Ross, I am the most successful in my field.

What's the word these days?
What is the current conversation among people?

Buncha' niggas chasing after all these woman they don't even know
There are men pursuing women whom they do not know personally.

Buncha' out of season woman fuckin' off-season niggas to get last season wardrobe
Women are engaging in activities with men just to acquire outdated clothing.

All the rappers that you vouch for need to get out of the house more, they washed up
The rappers that you endorse need to be more active and are no longer relevant.

And even if the team was religious with it, I can't really see another squad tryna' cross us, nah
Even if other teams are devout, I doubt they could defeat our squad.

OVO unruly
My music group, OVO, is chaotic and aggressive.

One shot to make it in a life
There is only one opportunity to succeed in life.

From the six to the fucking 876
My success spans from Toronto (area code 416) to Jamaica (area code 876).

I gotta' keep watchin' for Opper's cause' anything's possible, yeah
I need to be alert because anything could happen, even from supposed allies.

There's no code in ethics out here, anyone will take shots at you, yeah
There are no rules or ethics in this environment, and anyone is willing to attack you.

Niggas think they can come take what I got, let's be logical, yeah
Peers believe that they can take what I have, but that is not realistic.

V-Live, I order that Alfredo pasta then eat in the kitchen like i'm in the mafia
At the strip club V-Live, I order Alfredo pasta and eat it in the kitchen like a mob boss.

Houston, they get me though
People in Houston appreciate me.

European, my vehicle
I drive a European car.

How much it hit me fo'?
What was the cost?

Ain't no tellin', yeah
It is uncertain.

What am I willin' to give her to get what I want tonight?
What am I willing to sacrifice for temporary pleasure?

Please don't speak to me like I'm that Drake from four years ago
Do not talk to me like I have not grown and changed in the past four years.

I'm at a higher place
I am in a better position now.

Thinkin' they lions and tigers and bears, I go huntin'
People believe they are fierce like animals, but I am the one who hunts them down.

Put heads on my fire place, oh my, take time
I have a collection of heads on my fireplace, and it takes time to acquire them all.

Oh my, take time, ain't no tellin'
It is shocking but uncertain what will happen next.
