"The Resistance" lyrics - DRAKE
Yesterday when we were getting high, you were invited
You woulda liked it
Uh uh nah, I know you all too well
I said that we can kiss the past goodbye, but you weren't excited
There's no way to fight it, you can stay but shawty here I go
(Drake - Verse 1)
Should I spend the weekend in Vegas
I'm living inside the moment
Not taking pictures to save it
I mean how could I forget
My memories never faded
I can't relate to these haters
My enemies never made it
I am... still here with who I started with
The game needed life, I put my heart in it
I blew myself up, I'm on some martyr shit
Carried the weight for my city like a cargo ship
Uh, I'm 23 with a money tree
Growing more too, I just planted 100 seeds
It's ironic 'cause my mother was a florist and that's how she met my pops and now my garden is enormous
It's happening Penny Lane, just like you said
I avoided the Coke game and went with Sprite instead, uh ah
That's word to the millions that they putting up
I'm trying to do better than good enough!
What am I afraid of
This is supposed to be what dreams are made of
The people I don't have the time to hang with
Always look at me and say the same shit
(They say)
You promised me you would never change oh, huh huh oh, huh huh, oh
You promised me you would never change oh, huh huh oh, huh huh, oh
(Drake - Verse 2)
Am I wrong for making light of my situation
Clap on, when 40 got some shit for me to snap on
Now that I'm on I don't want to really worry about getting back on
I'm just trying to stay on
Get my fucking buffet on
I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home
And I'll be acting like I don't know how to work a phone
But hit redial you'll see that I just called some chick I met at the mall
That I barely know at all and...
Plus this women that I mess with unprotected
Text us saying she wish she woulda kept it
The one that I'm laying next to just looked over and read it
Man I couldn't tell you where the fuck my head is
I'm holding on by a thread it's like I'm high right now
The guy right now, and you can tell by looking in my eyes right now
That nothing really comes as a surprise right now
'Cause we just having the time of our lives right now
What am I afraid of
This is supposed to be what dreams are made of
The people I don't have the time to hang with
Always look at me and say the same shit
(They say)
You promised me you would never change oh, huh huh oh, huh huh, oh
You promised me you would never change oh, huh huh oh, huh huh, oh
(Drake - Verse 3)
I live by some advice this girl Lissa told me
The other day Lissa told me that she missed the old me
Which made me question when I went missing
And when I start treating my friends different
Maybe it was the fast pace switch up or the two guns in my face during the stick up
Maybe 'cause a girl I thought I trusted was who set the whole shit up
But a fact I haven't seen 'em since they locked big Rich up
I know, the same time I'm quick to forget
About to roll me a blunt with my list of regrets
Burn it all burn it all, I'm starting it fresh
'Cause half the time I got it right I probably guessed
Did I just trade free time for camera time
Will I blow all of this money baby, Hammer time
Yeah, I just need some closure, ain't no turning back for me
I'm in it till it's over
