Where do we belong? Caught up in the game and it's one I can't postpone Meanin' if it rains, I'm the one it's rainin' on When my diamond chain is on, still nothin' set in stone Women borrow sweaters that I spray with my cologne And tell me don't forget 'em and I promise that I won't Feelin' so distant from everyone I've known To make everybody happy I think I would need a clone Places we get flown, parties that we've thrown I've done more for this city than these rappers that have blown It's only been three years Look at how I've grown I'm just in my zone I call this shit the calm Yeah, but I'm the furthest thing from calm Dedicated to my mom and I swear my word is bond Everything will be okay and it won't even take that long You can see it in my face or even read it on my palm Leader of the new school, it's proven and it's known I'm sittin' in a chair but in the future it's a throne I know you like to worry, it'll be better if you don't 'cause [Break] You know everything gon' be all right, I promise I apologize to you know, put y'all in this position, vent to y'all but 40 Mama always say don’t ask permission Just ask forgiveness you know so uh, forgive me, yeah, yeah Say [Verse 2] Uh And life is so insane Look what I became trying to make a name All my first dates are interrupted by my fame Because every picture taken is a fan that you can gain They love it when you smile, unaware that it's a strain It's a curse you gotta live with when you born to entertain Women need attention, therefore, women will complain Develop hatred for men and say that you're the one to blame Tryin' to enjoy myself with Tez in Miami at the game I just wish he knew how much it really weighed like Dwayne It's a weight that's on my chest whoever spotting me is playing So I'm lifting all alone trying not to get a sprain Hoping Western Union doing currency exchange 'Cause my dad called and got me feeling guilty and ashamed Like, how I had a Rolls and I went and got a Range And he paying for his cigarettes with dollars and some change Damn, and I can only feel his pain 'Cause in Memphis, Tennessee there's only so much to attain So I'm filling out the form at the counter once again He say he love me, I just hope he doesn't say that shit in vain I'm why your girl heart is in a sling Call me "Heartbreak Drake", I'm the hardest one to tame As a man, I'm just honest, as an artist I'm a king With my own set of problems that be sitting on my brain Yeah, and see, this is the thang What they viewing as bragging is the way that I maintain The shit I write while staring out the window of a plane Is the single-handed reason I remain me, yeah [Outro] Uh I said I call this shit the calm But I’m the furthest thing from calm Swear I’m putting on But they always wanna ask what type of act you putting on, like Man
