Say Something
Drake Feat. Lupe Fiasco Lyrics

This shit was all I knew
My whole world revolved around you

You and me, only
We were each other's everything

I did it all for you
Everything I did was for your benefit

Still, you were lonely
Even with all my efforts, you still felt empty

We could've worked it out
We had the potential to resolve our issues

Uh, but I guess things change
Unfortunately, circumstances are different now

It's funny how someone else's success brings pain
It's ironic how another person's triumph could hurt you

When you're no longer involved
Once you're not a part of someone's life anymore

That person has it all
They seem to have everything together

And you just stuck standin' there
You're left feeling helpless and stuck

I'm gon' need you to say something, baby
I need you to communicate with me

Say say something, baby, say something, baby, say something, baby
Please don't stay silent, speak up

Yeah, it really sucks but ever since I've been long gone
I understand that things haven't been the same since I left

I traded in my senorita for a microphone
I gave up my life with you to pursue my music career

I hate the way you fell apart girl, its sad to see
It hurts me to see you struggling without me

Your life is good but me and you we're a catastrophe
Although your life seems fine, our relationship was a disaster

If I was unsuccessful would you be satisfied
If I had not made it big, would you have been content?

I need a paramedic girl, I'm feeling paralyzed
I feel trapped by our past and need help moving forward

If I could choose, you will always be a friend to me
I still care about you and want a positive relationship

The more money I made you actin' like my enemy
As I became more successful, our relationship turned sour

It's crazy, I can't help it if you feel ashamed
I can't control your feelings of embarrassment or inadequacy

All the pressure would turn you into my diamond babe
The stress and expectations would have brought out your best qualities

How can something so familiar be so strange?
Our once close relationship now feels unfamiliar and distant

Closest friends get estranged when your status change
Even the strongest friendships can suffer due to success or circumstance

Ah, is it my mistake, think that where I am and where you at?
Did I make a mistake by assuming we could still be together despite our different paths?

And my homeboy Larry Live is the only one that had my back
My friend Larry is the only one who supports me without judgment

We were the perfect pair, and now it seems that we don't match
We were once compatible, but now we don't seem to fit together

Is it the money, want me to give it back?
Is your indifference towards me due to my financial success?

Uh, I am the topic of conversation
People are talking about me and my success

This is celebration
I'm proud of my achievements and want to celebrate them

Let's toast to the fact that I moved out my mama basement
Let's applaud my progress and moving out of my mother's house

To a condo downtown, 'cause it's all about location
I chose a residence in a prime location

I'm sitting, drink wine and watch Californication of life
I'm enjoying a good life, watching the TV show Californication

You shoulda been here to kick it with me
I wish you were here to enjoy this with me

We coulda split this whole thing up fifty-fifty
We could have been partners in my success

But now I'm at the 40/40 getting bitches tipsy
I'm partying at the 40/40 club and having a good time

Killing shit, the ever-so talented Mr. Ripley
I'm killing the game, like the character in the movie Talented Mr. Ripley

How I go from being the man that you argue with
How did we go from lovers to enemies?

To me and Dwayne Carter putting out the hardest shit
Now I'm collaborating with Lil Wayne and making great music

I should want to go back to the one I started with
I should want to be with you, my original partner

But I'm addicted to this life, it's gon' be hard to quit
I'm too invested in my music career to give it up now

Yeah, just ask me how things are coming along
I'm happy to discuss my progress

You could tell me that you've never heard none of my songs
You could be honest and say you haven't listened to my music

Long as you end up sayin' one day you plan to listen
I hope you'll eventually give my music a chance

'Cause what's a star when it's most important fan is missing?
What's the point of success if the person who mattered the most isn't there to support you?
