  • Yeah, yeah
    Man

    It's like '09 in your basement
    And I'm in love with Nebby
    And I still love her but it fell through because I wasn't ready
    And your back hurt and your neck hurt
    And you smoking heavy
    And I sit next to you and I lecture you
    Because those are deadly
    And then you ash it and we argue
    About spending money on bullshit
    And you tell me I'm just like my father
    My one button, you push it
    Now it's, "Fuck you, I hate you, I'll move out in a heartbeat!"
    Then I leave out and you call me, you tell me that you sorry
    You love me and I love you
    And your heart hurts, mine does too
    And it's just words and they cut deep
    But it's our world, it's just us two
    I see painkillers on the kitchen counter
    I hate to see it all hurt so bad
    But maybe I wouldn't have worked this hard
    If you were healthy and it weren't so bad
    Uh, maybe I should walk up the street
    And try and get a job at the bank
    'Cause leave it up to me, J, and Neeks
    We'll probably end up robbing the bank
    Then Wayne calls up my phone
    Conversation wasn't that long
    Gets me a flight to Houston in the morning
    Oh it's my time, yeah, it's on
    He's thinking of signing me, I come home
    We make a mixtape with 17 songs
    And almost get a Grammy off of that thing
    They love your son, man, that boy gone
    You get the operation you dreamed of
    And I finally send you to Rome
    I get to make good on my promise
    It all worked out, girl, we shoulda known
    'Cause you deserve it

    Is this shit real? Should I pinch you?
    After all the things that we been through, I got you, yeah
    Look what you've done, look what you've done
    Look what you've done for me now, yeah
    You knew that I was gon' be something
    When you're stressed out and you need something, I got you, yeah
    Look what you've done, look what you've done
    Look what you've

    It's like '06 in your backyard
    I'm in love with Jade
    And I'm still in love, 'cause when it's that real
    Is when it doesn't fade
    And my father living in Memphis now, he can't come this way
    Over some minor charges and child support
    That just wasn't paid, damn
    Boo-hoo, sad story, black American dad story
    Know that I'm your sister's kid
    But it still don't explain the love that you have for me
    I remember sneaking in your pool after school dances
    Damn, your house felt like the Hamptons
    For all of my summer romances
    I never really had no one like you man this all-new, shit
    Made the world I know bigger
    Changed the way that I viewed it
    Had all this fighting going on at the crib
    You would calm me down when I lose it
    Told you I think I'm done acting
    I'm more in touch with the music
    You said, either way, I'll be a star, I could go so far
    Talked to me, you got to me
    Then you'd toss the keys and loan me your car
    Yeah, just a young kid in a drop top
    Lexus hopin' that I don't get arrested
    Just another kid that's going through life
    So worried that I won't be accepted
    But I could do anything, you said that, and you meant that
    You took me places, you spent that
    They said no, we went back
    Checks bounced but we bounced back
    I put all the money in your accounts back
    And I thank you, I don't know where
    I'd really be without that, it worked out
    Man, you deserve it

    Is this shit real? Should I pinch you?
    After all the things that we been through, I got you, yeah
    Look what you've done, look what you've done
    Look what you've done for me now, yeah
    You knew that I was gon' be something
    When you're stressed out and you need something, I got you, yeah
    Look what you've done, look what you've done
    Look what you've

    Hi Aubrey, I'm here sitting with my son having a little talk
    And he knows how to get in touch with you now
    To let you know how grateful I am for your help in keeping me in this, in this comfortable place
    All I can say, Aubrey, is I remember the good times we had together
    And the times I used to look after you
    And I still have wonderful feelings about that
    So God bless you, and I hope I'll see you Writer/s: Aubrey Drake Graham, Jawann D Peacock, Jesse IV Woodard, Noah James Shebib, Stephen Ellis Garrett
