Drake (Herocratic Pad Mix)

Leaves turned into white, we closing in on winter

Love can be a bitch, a bitch can treat you bitter

Life can be so sweet if you on top and listen

Any given moment things becomin' something different.

 

I had a lady who was down for the ride

I was switchin' lanes quicker than she thought I could drive

Of that i could presume, over glasses of wine

That we could stand the test of time, make and lead some beautiful lives

But surprise surprise - that's just a beautiful lie

But not a horrible thought, just an individual climb

 

Now I'm more focused then I've ever been

Sometimes it takes weakness to turn recruits into veterans -

the weak into reverends

 

And now im nothing better then

What i used to be

And who i used to see

But take it to my idiology

And you could read

The article which i could seed

Into a miracle of life called the tree

The holy plea's

 

Ive withstood the test of time, fore its not a test - its just another rhyme

And i made sure of it by tying it down with a zip tie

But why? though everyone said it was just another lie

It needed to be grounded so then it could never fly

Again, into people's hearts and minds

Still stuck with a passion that could still go high

But I've tried, what else now could peacefully thrive?

Ive explained it all but only got crimes

So i ask my one mother "why do we cry?"

And still she doesn't say anything but a "hi"

Thats fine

But honestly lets put it aside and abide

 

I picked up this girl, she was a hell of a freak

When i took her to the car, she was a little too hesitant to speak

And all i ever got was a kiss on the cheek

But why could it be

Could it be the intense heat? That she was older than me?

Or maybe my bank account had less than a G

Or for i split the bill because no woman eats for free?

But these were the questions that were going through my mind

But time after time, i found a fine line

Between the rich and the poor, ladies and whores

And girls that only date guys with grammy awards

But its not my time so i cant hit the cords

It tells me the signs that this was all from before

 

But life is alright

And it could be better

Wishing for better times and for better weather

So ima dedicate these bars like they in a damn letter

So dear society, what the hell is up?

All these damn politics make me feel stuck

They make me feel sick

So just make me a fig

Because nowadays people judge and be negative

They talk about your looks and think you have a shiv

Or "what the fuck's on his face"

And judged by their race

Just break a vase

As I'd say in this case

 

America ranking 17th in science

With 16 other countries above? Thats defiance

So be smart and form an education alliance

Instead of sittin' on your ass, try be a lion

A lion that wont start cryin'

Because his brother ryan just started fuckin' dyin'

I see that as flyin'

Run into a kitchen that started fryin'

 

Four years old and he still knew his fight

Old Jonathan still knows how to really bite

But is he animal or human? Can he take flight?

Thats what he wants to dream of when he goes to bed at night

Hes tired of always dreaming

And screaming

But ol' johnny knew

That he could be reaching

His goals past the kite

And to all you folks out there...

I hope i did this right

 

But wait it's not done yet

Still tryin' to figure the girl next to me

It's the morning after so i best write an apology

She got a boyfriend but of course i dont know him yet

Only to find out with my roll up cigarette

So i'll try to not doubt myself and dread

The day my heart stops beatin' and gives out dead

And now i must say that it's time to croak

Good lord i aint nothing but a man thats broke

Ive proven to myself that i could picture

A broken ass tat that says "Well fuck if i miss her"

Still tryin the game of life

As if it was a game out of spite

All along its not quite right

So i sit and be patient on my patio with my new lights

And of course it all aint ever turn out good

Thats why i moved out the fuckin' hood

I mean, after all, I am a damn ghost

But i'd nail ya'll to the ground like a damn post

And NOW it's time for me to boast

About how i've come up with enough lines to string coast to coast

And now its farewell, after all like hell

I pray with my mouth, and listen with my ears

To make sure i don't fuck up in my future years

Hopefully i see you all again

As if i dont get caught up in another trend

Or a bend

That my send me off on my head

Good night to me? No, good night to the feds
