Safe to say Drake will run 2013 as we have another classic on our hands


[Intro]
Yeah
This song's from old Tommy Campos Dice Raw shit
For my niggas, though

[Verse 1]
You underestimated greatly
Most number ones ever, how long did it really take me
The part I love most is they need me more than they hate me
So they never take shots, I got everybody on safety
I could load every gun with bullets that fire backwards
You probably wouldn't lose a single rapper
Niggas make threats, can't hear 'em over the laughter
Yeah, that's cause I'm headed to the bank, nigga
Sinatra lifestyle, I'm just being Frank with you
I mean, where you think she at when she ain't with you
Wildin', doin' shit that's way out of your budget
Owl sweaters inside her luggage, you gotta love it
Damn, this shit could go on a tape
Bitches lovin' my drive, I never give it a break
Give these niggas the look, the verse, and even the hook
That's why every song sound like Drake featuring Drake
Tr8, Y pree? Why is it always me?
Got us watchin' our words like there's wire taps on the team
Cause I show love, never get the same outta niggas
Guess it's funny how money can make change outta niggas
For real
Some nobody started feelin' himself
A couple somebodies started killin' themself
A couple albums dropped, those are still on the shelf
I bet them shits would have popped if I was willin' to help
I got a gold trophy from the committee for validation
Bad press during the summer for allegations
I ain't lyin', my nigga, my time is money
That's why I ain't got time for a nigga who's time is comin'
A lot of niggas PR stuntin' like that's the movement
And I'm the only nigga still know for the music
I swear, fuck them niggas this year
I made Forbes list, nigga
Fuck your list, everything's lookin' gorgeous
Without me, rap is just a bunch of orphans
But if I stay in the shit, there's a bunch of corpses
And me and my dread nigga from New Orleans
Stashin' money like hoarders off multi-platinum recordings
Eat it like I’m seated at Swiss, Sotto, and Joso's
Nothin' was the same, this shit for Easy and Cocoa
This shit for Kareem, this shit for Jaevon
This shit for Julius, Milly Mill
We do this shit for real
All them boys in my will
All them boys is my wheel
Anything happen to pop and I got you like Uncle Phil
Weezy been on that edge, you niggas just need to chill
If anything happen to poppy, might pop a nigga for real
Comin' live from the screwface, livin' out a suitcase
But I'm feelin' good, Johnny got me pushin' two plates
My weight up, I refuse to wait up, I started a new race
It's funny when you think a nigga blew up after Lupe
Niggas treat me like I've been here for 10
Some niggas been here for a couple, never been here again
I'm on my King James shit, I'm tryin' to win here again
A young nigga tryin' to win here again
Man, what's up

[Outro]
Yeah
A young nigga tryin' to win here again
If I like her, I just fly her to the city I'm in
I got her drinkin' with your boy
I got her fucked up, shorty
Aww yeah

I wish rappers wouldn't talk about themselves, but talk about ME. Why do I care about what some dude from the ghetto did? Who will feed MY procrastination and fantasies, never to be achieved?
 
Does his upbringing really matter?

Most rappers have been brought up in middle class homes went to fairly good schools and seriously overplay their 'hood' credentials. Drake isn't the first and he won't be the last to do so.

As long as the beat is banging and their lyrics are half decent I'll listen.

How many other rappers grew up on a nationally recognizable TV show? Unlike 'most rappers', he can't hide behind the veil of not having had cameras on him constantly contradicting his 'thug' lifestyle he's portraying now.

Gotta say, I do love some of Drake's tracks. This one is a hit. Really liked his last album and thought I'd hate it, looks like the new album could be decent too.
 
i think the real question is who takes drake seriously

he's like a carebear

he also tries very hard, makes me want to pat his head
 
I agree with you on that, no one trying to look like him, but everything else in that line was the truth though

only the hook part.

Drake and Wayne cop on each other as far as rapping style is concerned. Dude primed to release a good to monster album for sure. But really that line wasn't holy ghost inducing
 
Every rap related thread is filled with GAF-HOP appreciators and the other half mainstream rap haters who criticize dumb shit.

it was one of few holy ghost inducing lines, been on repeat on all day

The beat is dope.. and he spits with passion but nothing holy ghost inducing outside of him kissing Weezy's ass all of a sudden after trying to sue them

That's his problem, dude is trying too hard to appease...I don't know who. Honestly if I were Drake I'd be like yea my childhood was good, no I'm not from the hood, eat a bag of dicks I make more money than you ever would.

I'd embrace the fuck outta my upscale upbringing.

/shrug
 
it's amusing how good this is. i crack up listening to it because drake is just ripping it, line after line. so many quotables, so many etherous darts. he is cutting folks on this shit. tbh he reminds me of jay-z on this shit.

drake is about to go in on this album. it's gonna be the best thing he's ever done. it's amazing how much good music this cornball makes.

I don't think he's running 2013. When Em drops his album this year, it's going to sell more and probably get more awards.

Well if the past is anything to go by that is.

I'm not a fan of Drake but the song is nice. That's the type of Drake people like hearing. I dunno what people are talking about. Lol. That simping shit gets old. I wanna hear barssss.

but then he'd be a hipster rapper
