The Calm

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

**** 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 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 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 **** 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'll be better if you don't, 'cause

You know, everything gon' be all right

I promise

I 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 uh, forgive me, yeah

Yeah

Uh, and life is so insane

Look what I became

Trying 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's spottin' me is playing

So I'm lifting 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 paying 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 filling out the form at the counter once again

He say he love me, I just hope he doesn't say that **** 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 sitting on my brain

Yeah, and see, this is the thing

What they viewing as bragging is the way that I maintain

The **** I write while staring out the window of a plane

Is the single-handed reason I remain me

Uh, I said I call this **** 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
