Album: So Far Gone

Track No: 15

Uh, I'm just so far gone
October's own, please leave me alone
Drunk off champagne, screamin' in the phone
See, my house is not a home, fuck is going on?
Where did we go wrong? Where do we belong?
Caught up in the game and it's one I can't postpone
Meanin' if it rains, I'm the one it's rainin' on
When my diamond chain is on, still nothin' set in stone
Women borrow sweaters that I spray with my cologne
And tell me don't forget 'em and I promise that I won't
Feelin' so distant from everyone I've known
To make everybody happy I think I would need a clone
Places we get flown, parties that we've thrown
I've done more for this city than these rappers that have blown
It's only been three years, look at how I've grown
I'm just in my zone, I call this shit the calm
Yeah, but I'm the furthest thing from calm
Dedicated to my mom and I swear my word is bond
Everything will be okay and it won't even take that long
You can see it in my face or even read it on my palm
Leader of the new school, it's proven and it's known
I'm sittin' in a chair, but in the future it's a throne
I know you like to worry, it'd be better if you don't 'cause
You know
Everything gon' be alright, I promise
Apologize to, you know, put y'all in this position, vent to y'all, but
40 Mom always say, "Don't ask permission, just ask forgiveness, you know?"
So forgive me, yeah
Yeah, say
Uh, and life is so insane
Look what I became, tryna make a name
All my first dates are interrupted by my fame
Because every picture taken is a fan that you can gain
They love it when you smile, unaware that it's a strain
It's a curse you gotta live with when you born to entertain
Women need attention, therefore women will complain
Develop hatred for men and say that you're the one to blame
Try enjoy myself with Tez in Miami at the game
I just wish he knew how much it really weighed like Dwayne
It's a weight that's on my chest, whoever's spottin' me is playin'
So I'm liftin' all alone, tryin' not to get a sprain
Hoping Western Union doing currency exchange
'Cause my dad called and got me feeling guilty and ashamed like
How I had a Rolls and I went and got a Range
And he payin' for his cigarettes with dollars and some change
Damn, and I can only feel his pain
'Cause in Memphis, Tennessee, there's only so much to attain
So I'm fillin' out the form at the counter once again
He say he love me, I just hope he doesn't say that shit in vain
I'm why your girl heart is in a sling
Call me "Heartbreak Drake", I'm the hardest one to tame
As a man, I'm just honest, as an artist, I'm a king
With my own set of problems that be sittin' on my brain
Yeah, and see, this is the thing
What they viewing as bragging is the way that I maintain
The shit I write while starin' out the window of a plane
Is the singlehanded reason I remain me
Yeah
Uh, I said I call this shit the calm
But I'm the furthest thing from calm
I swear I'm putting on
But they always wanna ask what type of act you putting on like
Man
