make them cry

Drake

Yeah
Ice
Yeah

I m an only child, no one could ve made another
I have to father my mother
And treat my son s grandfather like my older brother
The skies are grey in Toronto, they not a golden color
I m feeling like BTS cause it took the whole career
For me to be so discovered
I know for sure that my parents,
They look at me and see an overcomer
I m looking back at them and these days,
I see an older couple
I see my only uncle
Lookin like that shit that I ain t ownin up to
And if he said the way he really felt,
I d probably see his side because I m old enough to
I m looking at all my niggas, they say, Bro, we love you
But all my words really the shit that they be goin up to
Feel like 40 won t even listen to my words
When he knows I m in a load of trouble
I m in the cut just loadin rebuttals
And I got a bunch of hits on my hand,
See the swollen knuckles?
I try to tell him
It s working out for me now,
He say, Then show your muscles
Prove to me that you re still as strong
When it s only us two
They know you thorough with bread,
But there s some shit you gotta pony up to
Basically he s sayin
I got growin up to do, I gotta dig deep
I really hate those two words, they never bring peace
I m at the Bulgari in Turkey with my bitch
And we ain t come here for no big teeth, nah
I came here to turn a new leaf
And maybe finally get some sleep
But all I can think about
Is the mountain to climb
And the conversations surrounding my music
Like they re Twin Peak
With Dot back in 2024 was a big piece
So it s like, this shit is me,
But it isn t me
Y all keep on asking me what it did to me,
That s what it did to me
When I dig deep, they say dig deeper
Tell us how it felt to meet the grim reaper
This album better have some big features
Well, sorry to burst your bubble,
But I m all alone for my mental
And I ve been tryna end so many people,
I almost forgot the intro
Been so sure of my words that I haven t used a pencil
Been so paranoid that nothing
In this world seems coincidental
Yeah
Our brother sold his chain the other day
And said that someone snatched it
I m still processing that shit, it got me so distracted
I think he s so desperate
And our life is goin fantastic
He don t have the heart to come
And tell us he pawned it for cash
Even his baby mama been sayin he been movin backwards
To me, he sold the only thing that has ever mattered
I could never forgive such a nefarious action
I m still healin my own traumas,
I ve barely adapted
This new toxic shit I m dropping
Is gon spin til I m radioactive, yeah
I really make the roughest days in life look very relaxing
I don t do psychedelics because
I m too scared of unpacking
Sometimes I only see myself
In my therapist glasses
But I m not taking it serious cause she s very attractive
I know it s a heavy-ass decision to bury the hatchet
It ll take more than six pallbearers
To carry that casket
I put the man in manipulation
When I pay your rent
And that is an obligation to our attachment
Then I sprinkle in a little Mercedes and fashion
If that s not enough for you, well, baby, go back then
You fuckin dude at the spot
That I got for you, Jesus
You gave him reason to speak on my name,
That s some weak shit
They textin proof to my phone
And my heart is in pieces
You keepin your options open,
For real, that s some me shit
Sis, you gotta be kiddin like nephews and nieces
I keep on rescuin leeches,
I can t believe it, I really can t believe it
I can t believe it, yeah
Too many wire transfers bound
To have a good girl s morals tangled
The rent-free penthouse and the Van Cleef floral bangles
And plenty more examples that had you goin
Dora the Explorer outside
While I turned a blind eye
Cause it s more than painful, yeah
I think I also put the man in manifestation
Either I m too numb to this shit
Or the city is changin
I bump into people and they act like we literally strangers
Random intrusive thought,
But what happened to Taz s Angels?
So many people that s not around from that generation
Niggas wanna talk about a battle,
I m battlin patience
Nigga, I battle frustration,
I m bout to turn forty, dawg, I m battlin agin
I m battlin the fact that the album ain t even drop
And already they asses complainin
Fuck it, I ll battle the label,
Fuck it, I ll battle the majors,
I ll battle the stations til my ass is back in rotation
Shoutout to the real fans
That knew what I had in the basement
Shoutout to the fake fans,
I thought we had an arrangement
How many times have you tried
To tell me I had a replacement?
How many times are you bout to ask if I had a vacation?
How many artists I ve had to witness do bad imitations?
Niggas want me all bent out of shape, rattled, and shaken
My dad got cancer right now,
We battlin stages
Trust me when I say there s plenty things
I d rather be facing (For real)
And this time, ask me to dig deeper,
I ll gladly explain it (Yeah)
