Fireworks (feat. Drake)

[Drake ]

Money just changed everything, I wonder how life without it would go

From the concrete who knew that a flower would grow

Lookin' down from the top and its crowded below

My fifteen minutes started an hour ago

Truth over fame, you know I respect the blatant sh-t

When I hear talkin, I just dont know what to make of it

Hate is so familiar to me, I'm slowly embracing it

Doesn't come natural, bear with me it could take a bit

Yeah, and my dreams who Im racing with

You can see Im pacin it so that Im always chasin it

Wayne put me right here, thats who I get the paper with

I hope that my success never alters our relationship

Yeah, this life is something I would die for

Octobers Own, but its lookin like July 4th

But I just wish theyd let you try it first

This time Im really goin off, fireworks

[Alicia Keys - Chorus]

When I go off like July 4th

feels like a fire, Got to go higher

Its your revelation(?) my sweet celebration

light me like a rocket, cause nothing can stop it

all I see is fireworks,

all i see is fireworks

every night its fireworks

every night its fireworks

all i see is fireworks

taking off like fireworks

taking off like fireworks

[Drake ]

I got this one girl, you know, in my life

so I say in this song, I say

I'm just such a gentleman

you should give it up for me

look at how I'm placing al my napkins and my cutlery

I can tell it wasn't love I just thought you f-ck with me

who coulda predicted love could strike now you stuck with me

yeh, I kept my wits about me luckilly

what happened between us that night it always seems to trouble me

now all of a sudden these gossip brags wanna cover me

and you making it seem that it happened that way because of me

but I was curious and I'll never forget it baby

what an experience

you coulda been the one but it wasnt that serious

their was smoke in the air before now its me cleaing it

that felt good, all and all I learned a lesson from it though

you never see it coming you just get to see it go

yeah I shoulda looked up in the sky at first

now I see it in her eyes

Fireworks!

[Verse 3]

Everything the same but it feels different

my dad called me up knowing that I still listen

and he's still got his foot out, guilt trippin'

It's been years, though, I just learn to deal with it

For real, me and my Realtor we built up a better rapport

got my mother in a place with some better decor

she searched the entire city I let her explore

ant now she's sayin' she's more lonely than every before

How many of our parents' marriages lasted?

I was only 5, I bet I barely reacted

I'm flying back home for the heritage classic

searching for that feeling, tell me where is the magic?

let's stay together 'til we're ghosts

I want to witness love, I've never seen it close

yeah, but I guess I gotta find it first, that's why I'm really going off, Fireworks!
