Drake

[Intro]
Yeah
(Con-Con—)
And we back at it, back at it
(Conductor)
For real
Shout out Ref1
Yeah, alright

[Parte 1]
You think I didn't see that you stayed silent
That's like you endorsing it all, may as well stand behind him
I stood beside you, thought there was some good inside you
Situations like these, they force you to notice the difference
Look at me and Neeks for instance
We know we live different lives and we've been on our separate missions
Look at how time flies, twenty yеars passed, he's still the samе guy

[Coro]
But I get it, you all wanna be the main guy
It explains why most people die not knowing who would've stuck by they side
It doesn't even cross they mind, they just go along for the ride
They'll never know they friends' decision, friends never had to decide

[Parte 2]
What does somebody do after doing everything you could've done for everyone?
You just do what you should've done since day one, you stick with your day ones
I'm not the villain or the victim, I am the author
My right hand guides the pen along the page until the chapter's done
What would they do to me if they ever caught me riding dolo?
Would they take my chain and my watch or would they take my photo?
f*ck that, I'm in the stu' with Noel, the sun went down, we couldn't tell
It's so many opportunities, but we still here by ourselves
It's been nearly fourteen years, he aingt work with no one else
And I aingt go to no one else, that's cause there's no better team, yeah
Trust me, the owl's glistening more than it's ever been
And trust me, I'm the highest that I've ever been
The greatest that they've ever seen
I've been alternating from being overseas and listening to beats
Strong opinions from the weak for four hundred-something weeks
They deep-seated resentment is what's filling up they seats
I've seen GOATs act like sheeps, coworkers turn to enemies
Damn, I got enemies, got a lot of enemies
Lot of niggas tryna drain me of my energy
Right now, me and Conductor, we got more f*cking chemistry than MIT
Two hours, Gstaad for some peace and serenity
Then it's back to Zurich for the OVO supremacy and the hotel amenities
They try to have all of my precious memories
Laying in my girl's lap like she Jackie Onassis and I'm John Kennedy
But I am not Jonathan Kennedy
Rest in peace, but I really can't bloody up the triple-button Giovanni suit because I'm OCD
I don't want no "Drake, my apologies, I'm tripping, you're top three"
My group chat was bumping those oppy guys, but not me
Like begging to get out a ticket, now they wanna cop pleas
My son is taking corner kicks in front of Luis Enrique at PSG
And y'all are talking 'bout inflating the numbers on DSPs
And me having better perspective on life doing DMT
Nigga, KYS ASAP, that's some shit that you could do for me
Like it was my first Chanel, I could've posted receipts
That would've made niggas read 'em and weep
Reporting live from the scene where I wasn't supposed to be revived by the EMTs, yeah
I did not break up a happy home, baby, you pulled up on me
Tell 'em why you really hate me and what year did she date me
I know niggas going crazy as I cop all the items you niggas put up for sale
And start a museum in my house called "Try Someone Else"
Your friends never had to decide if they wanna stay
The strength of your bond has never been tested in any way
I've been on the longest run, I don't know how to walk away
It's baby steps for you boys, y'all walking before y'all run
Secluding me might've been the worst thing that they ever done
I'm a product of where I'm from, one sound, one band
The orders make they way through the proper chain of command
And if everything goes to plan
I will be making the name change from The Boy to The Man
But y'all just wouldn't understand, damn
From mass distribution to leading my own version of the revolution
Private arbitration leads to resolution
Beat the game so many times, this shit has got abusive
f*ck you artists and producers
I don't wanna hear excuses of your plans for future truces
I am so far gone that a thank-me-later is useless now
CTE from trying me and still they want another hit
Made a living off of oh-no-he-didn'ts, bitch, yes I did
Skeletons in your closet, well, trust this aingt the bone to pick
They say, "What we doing, Ice?" We running it back
What has Iceman ever done other than that?
Even when under attack
Y'all don't know the stamina it takes to run up the stats
My numbers are humbling facts
Mistaking my sons for brothers, but it won't happen again
You better check your tone, I'm not one of y'all lil' friends
I got shots about to fly at some of y'all heads again
Man, shots about to fly
Even though some of my friends still talk about you guys like they leaning towards your side
I think karma's taking too long, an eye for both of your eyes
That'll show you love is blind for real

[Coro]
You all wanna be the guy
It explains why most people die not knowing who would've stuck by they side
It doesn't even cross they mind, they just go along for the ride
They'll never know they friends' decisions, friends never had to decide
