I remember listening to the album drop on OVOSound Radio i guess it was 4 am at my place and vibing with the KTT1 bretheren.
I remember when this came on in the last. Man blew every song out the water. This was on another level
40, did you get the message?
I thought you wanted yours like I want mine.
I say hats off for a solid effort
But we didn't flinch for a second, we got our s*** together
40 did you get the message?
I just listened to closer to my dreams
Wide eyed and uneducated at 19
I can't rap like that, all young and naive
Not after all of the s*** I've seen and the things I believe
Drastically changing, thank you for all your patience
I'm just in a different space and I choose to embrace it
4, 000 Square feet just isn't as spacious
You loved me back in the basement
Guess it is what we make it
I'm tired of awkward exchanges
And nigga's crooked ways
Tired of champagne toasts with people that look away
Peyton and eli when niggas
Called me they brother the season start
And I don't wanna see you end up with nothing
Y'all throw the word "family"
Around too much in discussion
Rookie season, I would've never thought this was coming
They knees give out
And they passing to you all of a sudden
Now you the one getting buckets
They put their arm around you
Now you becoming the crutches
Kids got on your number
Cause you the one they look up to
greatest of all time.
I never understood why this song is never mentioned when it comes to Drake's pen. The lyricism and flow in this song is amazing. One of his best no hook stream of consciousnesses songs.
This was my favorite Drake song for a while. It's always going to be dripped in sweet nostalgia for me. It's amazing how introspective he can get under all of the pressure. A lot of people would've lashed out or hid. He stuck to his guns and made some great music during that period. Also, this feels like the spiritual successor to 'Charged Up'.
