Uptown
Drake Ft. Bun B & Lil' Wayne Lyrics

Uh, hardly home but always reppin',
Although I'm almost never at home, I still represent my city and my people.

You hardly on and always second,
You're rarely around and never really leading the way.

When I'm awake you always restin',
I'm hustling and grinding while you're sleeping and taking it easy.

And when they call you the answer you will hardly question,
You're too afraid to ask questions and challenge the status quo, unlike myself.

I, I'm doin' classic shit in all my sessions,
I'm creating timeless music and delivering my best work every time I step into the studio.

Other nigga's situations they are all depressin',
I don't let the problems of others get to me because they can be draining and demotivating.

That's why I never follow y'all suggestions,
I take my own path and don't rely on other people's advice to make decisions.

I just always did my own thing,
I'm a true individual who doesn't conform to the standards of others.

Now I run the game, you stupid mudda-suckas
I'm at the top of the game and my haters are now beneath me.

I see all this money through my Ohio State buck eyes,
I have a clear view of all the money and success that's coming my way, just like Ohio State's mascot, a buckeye, has a clear view of everything around it.

Shit been goin' good, but good can turn to better,
I've been successful, but I know that there's always room for improvement.

Cause you the type to lose her, and I'm about to get her
You're the type to lose out on opportunities, while I'm about to take advantage of them and come out on top.

You can run and tell your friends that I'm on
Spread the word that I'm succeeding and doing big things.

Best believe I understand
Trust me, I know what's going on and I'm fully aware of my success.

Women don't get saved 'round me even on a Sunday,
Women know not to rely on me to be their savior, even on a day of rest like Sunday.

And shawty wanna party so don't let yo girl up out the house
This girl wants to party with me, so if you don't want your girl to come with us, keep her locked up at home.

I drive two black cars I named 'em Malcom X an' Martin Luther
My cars are named after two influential leaders, Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr., showing that I'm also making a positive change and leaving a lasting impact.

I don't ever play but I'm in the game lady,
I'm not messing around, I'm serious about my success and my career.

Have you countin' money goin' duffle bag crazy,
I'm making so much money that it's driving you crazy to count it all up.

Sippin' on Pink Floyd an puffin' Wayne Brady,
I'm enjoying my success with a drink inspired by the band Pink Floyd and smoking with my friend Wayne Brady.

Y'all seem to be stuck on that beginner stage,
You guys are still new to this and haven't reached the level of success and experience that I have.

I got dough to blow, but I wanna blow it right,
I have a lot of money to spend, but I want to spend it wisely and make smart investments.

Well alright, guess I might, know what? Fuck it, yes I will,
Okay, I might as well spend it, why not? Actually, yes, I definitely will.

Put it to you like
Let me explain it to you simply.

The best that ever did it an doin' it on a new song,
I'm the best in the game and I continue to prove it with each new song I release.

So what the fuck is you on?
What are you doing? Why aren't you on my level or keeping up with me?

I own the swagger supermarket an' you, you just a bag boy
I have all the swag and style, while you're just a lowly bag boy at the store.

Cause I got that swag boy, the swag you never had boy
I have a unique and unmatched sense of style and confidence that you'll never be able to replicate.

Hate an' I will leave ya chest the color of my flag boy
If you hate on me, I'll leave you bruised and beaten, like the colors of my flag.

Soo woo bitch, I do this shit, I'll erase you like I drew you bitch
I'm a part of a gang and I'm not to be messed with. I'll defeat you as easily as I draw you.

An' I keep that toaster you can come an be my strudel bitch
I carry a gun and you could be my target, so be careful around me.

And now I'm on this rock shit,
I'm trying out a new genre of music, rock.

But why they let me in I'm a start shootin' in a mosh pit, ha ha
I don't fit in with the rock crowd, but I'm still going to enjoy myself and start a mosh pit.

Fuck is you talkin' bout, Weezy in ya mouth now
What are you saying? Lil Wayne is on top of the game now.

(Young mula baby!)
This is a signature catchphrase of Lil Wayne's label, Young Money.
