| Yeah I remember me and, me and D used to talk about this kind of stuff all the time | |
| Like what it's gonna be like when you get closer to your dreams | |
| I didn't know much then but, probably tell you a lil' somethin' now | |
| [Verse 1: Drake] | |
| Mr. Big Dreams no tolerance | |
| Cut you at the house and haven't hollered since | |
| Get bored quickly | |
| He stay grown | |
| So the p-a-trãn had to get poured quickly | |
| Ex girl strippin' | |
| I can't stop her | |
| New girl trippin' but I can't drop her | |
| 'Cause I need somethin' to balance out the fact | |
| That it's hard to find a woman when you' talented and black | |
| When you hollerin' at labels | |
| And they silencing you back | |
| 'Cause you fail to thoroughly discuss some violence in ya track | |
| Well | |
| Gunshot for the young yacht owner | |
| See there's everybody else then there's one top loner | |
| First place is often the worst place | |
| But ***** it I love it here I call it my birthplace | |
| Whenever I walk in they makin' the worst face | |
| Surrounded by Fillipinos I think of the worst case | |
| Watch blue and green diamonds I call it the earth face | |
| I'm gettin' ya cake I tell you how ya dessert taste | |
| I get a dessert plate | |
| Y'all eat pedigree as ya meal | |
| I've been Urkel for some years it's better bein' Jaleel | |
| Though I rock lean snap it's better bein' this real | |
| It's better drivin' a car with the letter B in the wheel | |
| Seat back | |
| Light sayin' tank on E | |
| I got the drank on me | |
| You better bank on me | |
| To be the one and only ***** that you ain't gon' see | |
| In the club with a model spillin' drinks on me | |
| Nah | |
| Gimme 20 in the tank on 3 | |
| I'm in the Range bumpin' Key*****a Cole | |
| Singin' off-key like | |
| [Andreena harmonizes] | |
| I'mma spare y'all | |
| Why you wanna judge me | |
| I don't ever compare y'all | |
| The city is mine | |
| I know it because I'm there y'all | |
| It ain't even started I'm really tryna prepare y'all | |
| Spring '07 second quarter I'm droppin' | |
| With or without a label man I'm committed to poppin' | |
| And take over the summer | |
| Tour to tour hoppin' | |
| I'mma meet a lot of women I'mma do a lot of shoppin' | |
| Really no other option | |
| Spend a lot of money just to make it back | |
| Anybody I dissed in a song I don't take it back | |
| Same rappers that's all in ya face sayin' Drake is wack | |
| Are checkin' my availability just to make a track | |
| I promise mama | |
| I'mma do it 'cause I know I put you through it (I know I put you through it baby) | |
| And I just want you to sit around with ya friends at a dinner table | |
| And say "my baby's famous and I knooow it" (yeah) | |
| And it wasn't nothin' tooo it | |
| I've drawn it and drew it 'til the pen was out of fluid | |
| The ballpoint run out | |
| Then all joints come out classic | |
| Rappers are fake we can all point one out | |
| [Drake Talking] | |
| Yeah | |
| I'd like to introduce you to the first lady of the ATF (uhh) | |
| Miss Andreena Mill | |
| [Chorus: Andreena Mill] | |
| Closer to my dreams I'm gettin' higher | |
| Yeah I feel it in my sleep | |
| I said I'm gettin' higher | |
| Yeah | |
| And closer to my dreams | |
| Whoa | |
| Sometimes it feels like I'll never move on | |
| Closer to my dreams | |
| [Verse 2: Drake] | |
| Look | |
| I took a plane to Hawaii with D | |
| And we was trippin' off of the speed at which life progressed | |
| From meetin' Trey in Atlanta to doin' a cameo in his video | |
| Which made everything right with X (Songz) | |
| I got too many records and not enough shows | |
| For too many rappers and not enough __ | |
| Well | |
| You can fill the blank in | |
| They tryna be the best | |
| Just tryna place in the rankin' | |
| Day care play pen drop out | |
| To grade ten drop out | |
| To summer '05 with the grey Benz drop out | |
| Charcoal Charger | |
| Racin' through back streets | |
| On my (Craig David) *****t the (Artful Dodger) | |
| Shola Ama | |
| I told her I'mma | |
| 'Bout to get my run on so hold the commas | |
| Times've changed now I'm older mama | |
| And these *****s ain't solid they fold in drama | |
| And that's the realest *****t I ever wrote | |
| A compilation of mental thoughts that I never note | |
| And hi, haters | |
| I'm back off of hiatus | |
| How ya album doin'? | |
| I'm gettin' cake off of my latest | |
| Anticipated like the iPhone | |
| Respected in any city that I roam | |
| Summertime | |
| Wintertime | |
| Dinnertime | |
| Anytime | |
| Bet I am the ***** in my town when I arrive | |
| Home | |
| [Outro: Drake talking] | |
| Yeah one more time 'fore we turn the lights out ladies and gentleman | |
| (Sing it to' em 'Dreena) lights 'bout to go down, curtains 'bout to close but | |
| I want y'all to enjoy yourself on the way out, yeah man | |
| (Yeah man) | |
| [Chorus] |
| Yeah I remember me and, me and D used to talk about this kind of stuff all the time | |
