[Drake]

I've been up for 4 days

Getting money both ways

Dirty and clean, I could use a glass of cold spades

Rolexes, chauffeurs, and low fades

I keep thinking how young can you die from old age

The always tell me no one is working as hard as you

And even though I laugh it off man its probably true

'Cause while all of my closest friends out partying

I'm just here making all the music that they party too

But party on, party on, all night nigga

I got these new rappers nervous prom night nigga

I grow tired of these fucking grown man liars

Story tellers, they aint even need a camp fire

Uhh, but I just wanna tell the truth

Before one of these haters load a couple shells and shoot

This shit feel like when fredro star was a sunset park stunting hard in his yellow goose

Ya, and I'ma motherfucking missed target

But a target none the less, and I just started

Was that directed at Moi?

Can't be, they must be talking to themselves Hov, hands free

Yeah, and I'm just filling up this daily planner

Getting busy 'cause I'm a star, no spangled banner

Jealous dudes get to talking in their music

And I just say I wrote it for yo girlfriends Kelsey Grammar

Yah, that's what life becomes when you doing you

Welcome to Hollywood don't let this town ruin you

And if you pillow talking with the women that are screwing you

Just know that she gon tell another nigga when she through with you

Don't get impatient when it takes to long

And drink it all even when it taste too strong yeah

I gotta feel alive, even if it kills me

Promise to always give you me, the real me

Who would have thought

I'd be caught in this life?

Let's celebrate with a toast

And get lost in tonight

And make it all light up

(Hey, Guru, tell hom' to go to open that Ace right there)

Wait until the Sun goes down

We gon' make this bitch light up

Even when the Sun goes down

I'm gon' make this go

[JAY-Z]

Ow, Hov turning heads like OWELSSSSS

I'm the man of the hour

Triple entendre don't even ask me how

Con-Edison Flo I'm connected to a high power

Bright lights will make your whole city light up

A trillion watt light bulb when I'm in the night club

I just landed in that G-450, caught the mayweather fight 'cause his satellite was crispy

Uhh, yall can miss me with the money talk

The smart moneys on Hov, fuck what the dummys talk

I don't do to much blogging, I just run the town, I don't do to much jogging

I aint gotta scar yet, you fucking round with me and my dogs is far fetched

Drake, heres how they gon come at you

With silly rap feuds trying to distract you

In disguise in the form of a favor

The Barzini meeting, watch for the traitors

Uhh, and I've seen it all done it all

That's why none of these dum dums could done him off

The summers ours, the winter too

Top down in the winter, that's what winners do

And to these niggas I'm like windows 7

You let em tell it they swear that they invented you

Lyrics courtesy of www.killerhiphop.com

And since no good deed go unpunished

I'm not as cool with niggas as I once was

I once was, cool as the fonz was

But these bright lights turned me to a monster

Sorry mama I'm promised they wouldn't change me

But I woulda went insane, had I remain the same ME

Fuck nggas, bitches too

All I got is this money, this will do

Who would have thought

I'd be caught in this life?

Let's celebrate with a toast

And get lost in tonight

And make it all light up

(Hey, Guru, tell hom' to go to open that Ace right there)

Wait until the Sun goes down

We gon' make this bitch light up

Even when the Sun goes down

I'm gon' make this go
