Album: Thank Me Later

Track No: 10

Uh
I've been up for four days, getting money both ways
Dirty and clean, I could use a glass of cold Spades
Rolexes, chauffeurs and low fades
I keep thinking, "How young can you die from old age?"
They always tell me, "Nobody's working as hard as you"
And even though I laugh it off, man, it's probably true
'Cause while all of my closest friends out partying
I'm just here making all the music that they party to
But party on, party on all night, ****
I got these new rappers nervous, prom night, ****
I grow tired of these fucking grown man liars
Storytellers, they ain't even need a campfire
Uh, but I just wanna tell the truth
Before one of these haters load a couple shells and shoot
This shit feel like when Fredro Starr was at Sunset Park
Stunting hard in his yellow Goose
Yeah, and I'm a motherfuckin' missed target
But a target nonetheless and I just started
Was that directed at moi?
Can't be, they must be talking to themselves, Hov, hands free
Yeah, and I'm just filling up this daily planner
Getting busy 'cause I'm a star, no spangled banner
Jealous dudes get to talking in they music
And I just say I wrote it for your girlfriends, Kelsey Grammer
Yeah, that's what life becomes when you're doing you
Welcome to Hollywood, don't let this town ruin you
And if you pillow talking with the women that are screwing you
Just know that she gon' tell another **** when she through with you
Don't get impatient when it takes too long
You drink it all, even when it tastes too strong
Yeah, I gotta feel alive, even if it kills me
Promise to always give you me, the real me
Who would have thought
I'd be caught in this life?
Let's celebrate with a toast
And get lost in tonight
And make it all light up
Aye, Guru, tell, tell homegirl to open that Ace right there
Wait until the sun goes down
We gon' make this bitch light up
Even when the sun goes down, I'ma make it go
Oww, hoes turn they heads like owls
I'm the man of the hour
Triple entendre, don't even ask me how
Con Edison flow, I'm connected to a higher power
Bright lights'll make your whole city light up
A trillion-watt light bulb when I'm in the night club
I just landed in that G450
Caught the Mayweather fight 'cause the satellite was crispy
Uh
Y'all can miss me with the money talk
The smart money's on hold, fuck what the dummies talk
Uh, I don't do too much blogging
I just run the town, I don't do too much jogging
Uh, I ain't got a scar yet
'Cause you fucking 'round with me and my dawgs is far fetched
Drake, here is how they gon' come at you
With silly rap feuds, trying to distract you
In disguise, in the form of a favor
The Barzini meeting, watch for the traitors
Uh, I done seen it all, done it all
That's why none of these dum-dums could done him off
The summer's ours, the winter too
Top down in the winter, that's what winners do
And to these ****, I'm like Windows 7
You let 'em tell it, they swear that they invented you
And since no good deed go unpunished
I'm not as cool with **** as I once was
I once was cool as the Fonz was
But these bright lights turned me to a monster
Sorry, Mama, I promised it wouldn't change me
But I woulda went insane had I remained the same me
Fuck ****
Bitches, too
All I got is this money and this'll do
Who would have thought
I'd be caught in this life?
Let's celebrate with a toast
And get lost in tonight
And make it all light up
Wait until the sun goes down
We gon' make this bitch light up
Even when the sun goes down
I'ma make it go
