SAY SOMETHING
Wale Ft. Drake Lyrics

This shit was all I knew
My life used to revolve around you and me together

You and me, only
Our relationship was exclusive and special

I did it all for you
Everything I did was to make you happy and successful

Still, you were lonely
Despite my efforts, you still felt alone and unhappy

We could've worked it out
It was possible for us to fix our relationship issues

Uh, but I guess things change
Unfortunately, circumstances change over time

It's funny how someone else's success brings pain
Seeing another person succeed can cause emotional pain

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

That person has it all
The person now has everything they've ever wanted

And you just stuck standin' there
Meanwhile, you're still stuck in the same place

I'm gon' need you to say something, baby
I need to hear from you about how you feel

Say say something, baby, say something, baby, say something, baby
Please speak up and express your thoughts and feelings

Yeah, it really sucks but ever since I've been long gone
It's unfortunate, but since I left our relationship behind

I traded in my señorita for a microphone
I gave up my romantic life to pursue music

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

Your life is good but me and you we're a catastrophe
Although your life is good now, our relationship was troubled

If I was unsuccessful would you be satisfied
If I hadn't made it in music, would you be happy?

I need a paramedic girl, I'm feeling paralyzed
I'm in a bad place and need help to get through it

If I could choose, you will always be a friend to me
If it were up to me, we'd still be friends

The more money I made you actin' like my enemy
As I became more successful, you started treating me like an enemy

It's crazy, I can't help it if you feel ashamed
It's unfortunate that you're ashamed of me for pursuing music

All the pressure would turn you into my diamond babe
The pressure of my success would have made you shine like a diamond

How can something so familiar be so strange?
It's weird how our relationship has become strange, despite how familiar it used to be

Closest friends get estranged when your status change
My closest friend became distant once I became successful

Ah, is it my mistake, think that where I am and where you at?
Is it my fault that I've moved on and you haven't?

And my homeboy Larry Live is the only one that had my back
My friend Larry is the only one who supported me through my journey

We were the perfect pair, and now it seems that we don't match
We used to be a great couple, but now it seems like we don't fit anymore

Is it the money, want me to give it back?
Is it my success that's causing these problems, do you want me to go back to how things were?

Uh, I am the topic of conversation
I'm the one everyone's talking about

This is celebration
This is a time to celebrate

Let's toast to the fact that I moved out my mama basement
Let's raise a glass to my success and independence

To a condo downtown, 'cause it's all about location
I moved to a nice condo in the city because of its prime location

I'm sitting, drink wine and watch Californication of life
I'm relaxing, drinking wine, and enjoying the show of my successful life

You shoulda been here to kick it with me
You should have stayed with me to enjoy my success

We coulda split this whole thing up fifty-fifty
We could have shared my success equally

But now I'm at the 40/40 gettin' bitches tipsy
Now I'm at a fancy club partying with beautiful women

Killing shit, the ever-so talented Mr. Ripley
I'm killing it in my music career and feeling proud

How I go from bein' the man that you argue with
How did I go from being your partner to someone you argue with?

To me and Dwayne Carter putting out the hardest shit
Now I'm making music with a famous rapper and producing great work

I should want to go back to the one I started with
I should want to go back to my roots and my old relationship

But I'm addicted to this life, it's gon' be hard to quit
But I'm addicted to my new lifestyle and it will be tough to give it up

Yeah, just ask me how things are comin' along
Ask me how my life and career are doing

You could tell me that you've never heard none of my songs
You could admit that you haven't listened to any of my music

Long as you end up sayin' one day you plan to listen
As long as you plan to listen to my music someday

'Cause what's a star when it's most important fan is missing?
What's the point of being a star when my most important fan is absent?
