The Calm

Uh, I'm just so far gone, October's own, Please leave me alone

Drunk off champagne screamin' in the phone

See my house is not a home, fuck is goin' on

Where did we go wrong, where do we belong

Caught up in the game and it's one I can't postpone

Meaning if it rains I'm the one it's raining on

When my diamond chain is on still nothing set in stone

Women borrow sweaters that I spray with my cologne

And tell me don't forget 'em and I promise that I won't

Feelin' so distant from everyone I've known

To make everybody happy I think I would need a clone

Places we get flown, parties that we've thrown

I've done more for this city then these rappers that have blown

It's only been 3 Years look at how I've grown

I'm just in my zone, I call this shit the calm

Yea, but I'm the furthest thing from calm

Dedicated to my mom, and I swear my word is bond

Everything will be ok and it won't even take that long

You can see it in my face or even read it on my palm

Leader of the new school it's proven and it's known

I'm sittin' in a chair but in the future it's a throne

I know you like to worry it'll be better if you don't cause

You know, everything gone be alright, I promise

Apologize to you know, to put ya'll in this position and vent to ya'll but

40 mom always say: Don't ask permisson, just ask forgiveness

You know, so forgive me

Uh, And life is so insane, look what I've became, tryna make a name

All my first dates are interrupted by my fame

Because every picture taken is a fan that you can gain

They love it when you smile unaware that it's a strain

It's a curse you gotta live with when you born to entertain

Women need attention and fore women will complain

Develop hatred for men and say that your the one to blame

Tryna enjoy myself with Taz in Miami at the game

I just wish he knew how much it really weighed like dwayne

It's a weight that's on my chest whoever spottin' me is playin'

So I'm liftin' all alone try not to get a sprain

Hopin' western union doing currency exchange

Cause my dad called and got me feelin' guilty and ashamed

Like, how I had a rose and I went and got a range

And he payin' for his cigarettes with dollars and some change

Damn, and I could only feel his pain

Cause in memphis Tennessee there's only so much to attain

So I'm fillin' out the form at the counter once a-gain

He say he love me I just hope he doesn't say that shit in vain

Ohio girl heart is in a slang

Call me heartbreak Drake I'm the hardest one to tame

As a man I'm just honest as a artist I'm a king

With my own set of problems that be sittin' on my brain

Yea, And see this is the thang

What they viewing as braggin' is the way that I maintain

The shit I write while staring out the window of a plane

Is the single handed reason I Remain

Me, yea uh, I said I call this shit the calm

But I'm the furthest thing from calm

I swear I'm puttin' on but they always wanna ask what type of act you puttin' on like

Man
