Drake - The Calm

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 nothing set in stone,
Women borrow sweaters that I spray with my cologne,
And tell me don't forget them, 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 then 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 ok 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'll be better if you don't.

You know, everything gon' be alright, I promise.
Apologize to, you know, to put y'all in this position
And vent to y'all but...
40's mom always say, "Don't ask permisson, just ask forgiveness".
You know, so... forgive me.

And life is so insane,
Look what I became tryin' to 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.
Tryin' to enjoy myself with Tez in Miami at the game,
I just wish he knew how much it really weighed like Dwyane.
It's a weight that's on my chest whoever spottin' me is playin',
So I'm liftin' all alone, try not to get a sprain.
Hopin' Western Union doing currency exchange,
‘Cause my dad called and got me feelin' 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 could 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 slang,
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 thang,
What they viewin' as braggin' is the way that I maintain;
The shit I write while starin' out the window of a plane
Is the single-handed reason I remain me.

I said, I call this shit the calm,
But I'm the furthest thing from calm.
That's why I'm puttin' on,
And everybody wanna ask
What type of act you puttin' on?
