The Resistance

DRAKE

6

Yesterday when we were getting high

You were invited, you would′ve liked it

Uh-uh I know you all too wellI said that we could kiss the past goodbye

But you weren't excited, there′s no way to fight it

You could stay, but shawty here I go

Uh, should I spend the weekend in Vegas?

I'm living inside the moment, not taking pictures to save it

I mean, how could I forget? My memory's never faded

I can′t relate to these haters, my enemies never made it

I am, still here with who I started with

The game needed life, I put my heart in it

I blew myself up, I′m on some martyr shit

Carry the weight for my city, like a cargo ship

Uh, I'm 23 with a money tree

Growing more too, I just planted a hunna seeds

It′s ironic 'cause my mother was a florist

And that′s how she met my pops

And now my garden is enormous

It's happenin′ Penny Lane, just like you said

I avoided the Coke game and went with Sprite instead

Uh-uh, that's word to the millions that they puttin' up

I′m tryna do better than good enough

What am I afraid of?

This is supposed to be what dreams are made of

But people I don′t have the time to hang with

Always look at me and say the same shit

They say, "You promised me you would never change"

You promised me you would never change

Am I wrong for making light of my situation?

Clap on, before they got some shit for me to snap on

Now that I'm on, I don′t really wanna worry 'bout gettin′ back on

I'm just tryna stay on, get my fucking buffet on

I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home

And I be actin′ like I don't know how to work a phone

But hit re-dial, you'll see that I just called

Some chick I met at the mall, that I barely know at all

And, plus this woman that I messed with unprotected

Texted saying she wished she would have kept it

The one that I′m layin′ next to just looked over and read it

Man, I couldn't tell you where the fuck my head is

I′m holding on by a thread

It's like I′m high right now, the guy right now

And you can tell by looking in my eyes right now

That nothing really comes as a surprise right now

'Cause we just having the time of our lives right now

What am I afraid of?

This is supposed to be what dreams are made of

But people I don′t have the time to hang with

Always look at me and say the same shit

They say, "You promised me you would never change"

You promised me you would never change

Uh, I live by some advice this girl Alyssa told me

The other day Alyssa told me that she missed the old me

Which made me question when I went missing

And when I start treating my friends different

Maybe it was the fast-paced switch up

Put up two guns in my face during the stick up

Maybe 'cause the girl I thought trusted

Was who set the whole shit up

But in fact I haven't seen ′em, since they locked Big Rich up

I know, the same time I′m quick to forget

I'm ′bout to roll me up a blunt with my list of regrets

Burn it all, burn it all, I'm startin′ it fresh

'Cause half the time I got it right, I probably guessed

Did I just trade free time for camera time?

Will I blow all of this money baby, Hammer Time?

Yeah, I just need some closure

Ain′t no turning back for me, I'm in it 'til it′s over
