The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Why you keep askin' me about (why?)

She's not here right now, she's not here right now

Why am I the one you wanna get into it with for the drama?

I've got a lot to say, and that's the last thing a nigga wanna hear right now

Spendin' all my days on the east side, oh

Forgettin' who I was on the other side, oh

Young nigga switchin' up the program right now

Tryna put the power in my own hands right now

I'm about to ride through the old hood right now

Got too much pride for my own good right now

Waitin' on you to give in and hit me up

So I could fall through like old times and hit it up

I'm terrible at invitin' myself, call me over

Those nights when you need someone else, call me over

You can be the one to take control, call me over

When I get there, you already know, call me

Why you keep askin' me about (why?)

Couple other things I'd rather do than talk about that right now

Told you 'bout givin' him chances on chances on chances

He's not holdin' you down, he's holdin' you back right now

Spendin' all my days on the east side, oh (oh, oh-oh-oh)

Forgettin' who I was on the other side, oh

Young nigga switchin' up the program right now

Tryna put the power in my own hands right now

Love it when your ass speak the truth to me, oh

Tryna wake up and have you with me, oh

Waitin' on you to give in and hit me up

So I could fall through like old times and hit it up

I'm terrible at invitin' myself, call me over

Those nights when you need someone else, call me over

You can be the one to take control, call me over

When I get there, you already know, call me

[Drake & Rihanna]

Yeah, ayy

Yeah

I I threw my hands in the air and said show me somethin', yeah

Ayy

[Drake]

Remember one night I went to Erykah Badu house

She made tea for me

We talked about love and what life could really be for me

She said: When that shit is real, you just know

And I was thinkin' 'bout you, you already know

Yeah, the other night Chubbs showed up at my house

He had weed for me

That my nigga 'til we gone, kees his ear to the streets for me

Said the city stress him out on the low

I said: I feel you, nigga, I already know

Yeah, already

Girls talkin' 'bout: You gotta leave already?

Damn, my lil' nephew turned four already

Gave you little help, you need more already

Damn, you need more already?

'Fore you said: You're mine — I was yours already

22, had the Bentley four-door already

Even as a boy, I was the boy already

So you know that that mean pussy galore already

Mention other girls, you get insecure already

That was in the past, I matured already

Fuck them hoes, you got the award already

You go to Chanel and get rewards already

Know I do this shit for Third Ward already

Know I do this shit for H-Town already

Already, already, yeah

Back up in this thing, it's a go

Had a couple niggas out of pocket, now they know

Ain't the first time 'cause I lost you before

Had to get it back, had to get it back

Had to pull it back because I know I'm on the road

Had to take you back because I know you're down to roll

If you can get it from me, you can have it, now you know

All your friends askin' where you stand with the boy

FaceTime say you got plans for the boy

Studyin' your body, that's exams for the boy

Take a flight here, pop a Xan for your boy

Waking up in Amsterdam with the boy

Long flight home, 'nother Xan for your boy

You would prolly fly out to Japan for the boy

You would prolly kill another man for the boy

You would prolly

You would prolly lie 'bout it on the stand for your boy

Put the Bible to your right hand for the boy

That's why you ain't never gotta worry 'bout the boy

You know you got

You know you got that really good insurance on the boy

You just gotta pack a bag and hurry to the boy, yeah

(Why? Fring)
