Forever (Album Version Explicit) Songtext
von Drake

This is why I do this shit
I think they call this, venting

Look
This is me, still the same
They want the hits, I play the game
No auto-tune, but you can feel the pain
It all comes spilling out like I hit a vein

What up, Lil′ Bruh? What up, Slum Ville?
I hope you know that y'all the reason I have fun still
The fans thinking that we all signed for mil
Equal opportunity rappin′, that shit is unreal

That ain't how it works, that ain't how it goes
And I been gettin′ high just to balance out the lows
And I could use a writer just to balance out my flows
But I never share my thoughts this is all a nigga knows

And everytime I try, it opens up my eyes
These verses are a chance to be remembered and reprised
And I will be performin′ this as long as I'm alive
So every word I utter will be mine:


Don′t believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please, don't be scared of me
Please, don′t be scared of me
I remember you
This feeling isn't new
So please, don′t be scared of me
Please, don't be scared of me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah

I never cried when Pac died
But I probably will when Hov does
And if tears hold value
Then I will drop one for every single thing he showed us
And I'll be standing in a puddle
I stay away from niggas that could land me in some trouble

And I′mma keep it honest, I′m so tired of being subtle
It's just me, Forty, O and Neek standing in a huddle
Staring at the members of my team
Who get questioned about they profit

From this million dollar scheme
Just know that I′m in debt for you defending all our dreams
I hope you tell your family this shit ain't what it seems
But y′all the reason for a lot of my devotion

You know I spend money because spending time is hopeless
And know I pop bottles 'cause I bottle my emotions
At least I put it all in the open


Dont believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please, don′t be scared of me
Please, don't be scared of me
I remember you
This feeling isn't new
So please, don′t be scared of me
Please, don′t be scared of me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah

Look
Fuck all y'all, we ignore feelings here
Premature millionaires
Welcome to my realest year
Yeah, I swear that we making a killing here
I should be on top of the world just chillin′ here

But it's funny having fans
Who find you before anybody ever has the chance
And build you up, so you could be the biggest in the game
And realize when you′re there

Sometimes the shit don't feel the same
Yeah, and plus things are just surreal at home
People think I′ve changed just cause my appeal has grown
And now security follows me everywhere

So I never actually am alone, I just always feel alone
I think I'm scared of what the future holds
I was wishing for some things and now am used to those
Every girl I meet thinks I'm fucking groupie hoes

The honesty of my music has left me too exposed
All my old friends think I got a new crowd
And people seem to notice every time I do smile
I guess that mean they come few and far between

Even though I′m living out what you would call the dream
Yeah
And my uncle ain′t even messaging me
And him missing in my life is kind of messing with me
I hope this isn't one of those forever things
It′s funny how money can change everything

Don't believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please, don′t be scared of me
Please, don't be scared of me
I remember you
This feeling isn′t new
So please, don't be scared of me
Please, don't be scared of me
