Drake - The Remorse(2021)

[00:23.14] Yeah
[00:25.42]
[00:29.19] Yeah
[00:31.41]
[00:34.39] Look, me and Lil Sandra bagging CDs in the bubble wrap
[00:38.25] People recognize me from the TV, but I'm done with that
[00:40.94] People don't wanna see me succeed, this shit come with that
[00:43.61] Even when I come back, I don't know if it's me that's gonna be coming back
[00:47.13] Soon as I left, I had to make peace with that
[00:49.16] Dropped out of school 'cause nobody was teaching that
[00:51.45] The Best Western is where a nigga was sleeping at
[00:54.45] Daemen College booking me to pull up and speak the facts
[00:57.00] Even if they make a movie 'bout us, this shit'll be hard to re-enact
[01:00.66] Dislocated shoulder, it's hard to be always reaching back
[01:03.10] All these IOUs, it's hard for me to be keeping track
[01:05.99] Friends that dedicated they life to just keepin' me intact
[01:08.86] Hard to pay 40, pay Noel, pay Niko back
[01:11.38] All the nights I needed to vent to someone and CJ sat
[01:14.17] All the nights Chubbs was pulling up where I need him at
[01:16.73] All the times Mark was making sure that my luggage packed
[01:19.12] At times he had to double back
[01:21.27] I mean, even with his salary, you can't put no prices on that
[01:23.96] There is no salary cap, there is no payin' him back, for real
[01:26.36]
[01:29.44] I wonder what it could've been if I had snakes in the mix
[01:32.36] Actually, I never wanna know 'cause we made it like this
[01:34.91] Shots gotta fly either way, now I make it or miss
[01:37.66] Overtime, I was all good, we take it in shifts
[01:40.38] What would you do if it wasn't this? That's a hard one
[01:42.76] The finish line is where I like to pull up and start from
[01:45.85] Pain is just a place that I go to get the bars from
[01:48.13] Anxiety's a drug that I use to get the job done
[01:50.84] Delusional's a space I like to think that I'm far from
[01:53.60] My son is the one thing I hate to be apart from
[01:56.48] Bet against me, don't know where they getting their odds from
[01:58.94] I know that when it's done, I'm going wherever God's from
[02:02.19] But I still don't know where I get the calm from
[02:06.13] Yeah
[02:12.31]
[02:28.98] Yeah
[02:31.26]
[02:33.81] Look, gotta hold my head high with two dry eyes
[02:37.36] I told you everything is fine, dawg, but I lied
[02:39.95] I be tryna draw the line, but it's a fine line
[02:42.76] And I'm drownin' out the noise from the sideline
[02:45.02] Sometime it's louder than the voice I got in my mind
[02:47.95] I can't even hear myself when I get quiet time
[02:50.83] Like, how they tellin' me I'm done, when I'm in my prime?
[02:53.52] They've been tryna push a narrative since '09
[02:56.04] And they even had my ass convinced a couple times
[02:58.80] But that ain't even the half, I had tougher times
[03:01.40] Only look for sympathy inside my mother's eyes
[03:04.31] And it's whatever with them niggas on the other side
[03:06.92] We got problems we could never really put aside
[03:09.53] I cracked the door 'fore I saw her put my foot inside
[03:12.19] I tried to kill them boys with kindness, but they wouldn't die
[03:14.78] So now I kill 'em all for acting like they couldn't die (yeah)
[03:19.67] My hard work doesn't just pay off, it pays all the family debts off
[03:22.85] I'm taking heads off, Future out here like Irving Azoff
[03:26.00] Houses paid off, label paid off
[03:27.93] My soul for the money wasn't the trade-off
[03:30.14] Unlike most of you boys that fade off
[03:32.06] I feel guilty taking some days off
[03:34.19] Please don't google my net worth, the numbers are way off
[03:36.88] I mean, if you comparin' it to what I really made off with
[03:40.10] I'm more like Bernie with all the earnest that they came off
[03:42.99] Trust me it was nothin' light, homes
[03:44.66] They tried to give me a slice of the pie and I took the knife home
[03:47.44] I know you love me
[03:48.79] Can't picture being a hubby, finger too stubby to fit a ring on
[03:52.09] Unless Kawhi wanna run it back
[03:53.93] Other than that, the strings'll be unattached
[03:55.80] Certified Lover Boy, I'm not the one for cuddling or none of that
[03:58.86] Y'all music is watered down, will you love 'em back?
[04:02.19] And you know what I'm on, blowing past ya, owning masters
[04:05.97] Said you're like a father figure to me
[04:07.59] But now daddy's not around, so I'm a bastard
[04:10.04] Oh, of course
[04:10.70] The only villain that show remorse when I owe you more
[04:13.51] Soft spot for all the ones that came before, I can't ignore it
[04:17.20] I'm always tryna rekindle
[04:18.32] From the bottom to the top, man, what's it like in the middle?
[04:21.03] From the lemon faced radio host that love to be bitter
[04:23.81] To my dogs in the game who wasn't pick of the litter
[04:26.63] For the young Gs out here starting from the beginning
[04:29.35] Nobody praying for you when you winning
[04:31.30] Don't forget it
[04:33.65]
[04:45.33] Said it's hard when it starts to fade away
[04:49.82] Said it's hard when it starts to fade away
[04:52.14]
[04:55.65] Yeah (ooh, yeah)
[04:59.92] And it's hard when it starts to fade away
[05:02.27]
[05:08.76] Hard when it starts to fade away
[05:13.11] It's hard when the memories start to fade away
[05:17.49] And it's hard when the memories start to fade away
[05:19.98]
[05:23.46] (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[05:25.95]
[05:40.88] So beautiful
[05:41.26]
