Drake Views
Question is, will I ever leave you? The answer is no, no, no-no-no, no, no No, no-no-no, no, no No, no, no, no Question is, will I ever leave you? The answer is no, no, no-no-no, no, no No, no-no-no, no, no No, no, no, no Yeah, you feel the pressure, man, I know the pressure And my wifey is a spice like I'm David Beckham A lot of pent up aggression comin' out of my section OVO on me while y'all niggas was playin' dress-up And I know who gon' take the fall with me They right here on call with me, they all with me You could throw curve balls but I got the glove fitted They've been sayin' it's love, but it isn't love, is it? Toast to the days when they wasn't out to get me I worked at Jaydees Connections whenever Jason let me Ceesay's, I was buyin' fitteds everyday Kiddie's Caribana, tryin' not to catch a stray I dropped out right before I graduate Six credits left, my mama had her saddest day "It's only up from here, I promise, you just gotta wait" And she took my word for it, that's all I had to say Lately I just feel so out of character The paranoia can start to turn into arrogance Thoughts too deep to go work 'em out with a therapist I get a blank page when I try to draw a comparison I'm gettin' straight to the point with it Need y'all to know that I never needed none of y'all niggas Fuck bein' all buddy buddy with the opposition It's like the front of the plane, nigga, it's all business But I haven't flown with y'all boys in a minute Look, they'd rather run up on me than towards their goals My niggas still hit the club when it's 20 below Who you think runnin' this show? You saw it in me at 20 years old The lingo start to sound like we talkin' in code I got a pure soul, I don't do the hate You don't worry 'bout fittin' in when you custom made Me and Niko used to plot on how to make a change Now me and Kobe doin' shots the night before the game Still drop 40 with liquor in my system Numbers goin' unlisted just to create some distance I might see you on and off but I'll never switch ya Niggas quick to double cross like both of us Christian Lamborghini got me feelin' like I'm Christian Bale And I never bend my morals for the ticket sales Tippin' scales, bars heavy like triple XL I never tag no one in, I'd rather get you myself Runnin' through the 6, thumbin' through the contracts I'm possessed, you can see it under the contacts They think I had the silver spoon but they'll get it soon I still got somethin' left to prove since you left me room Payment plan for the family debt, we in the minus And like it's goin' in a trunk, I put it all behind us Where you tryna go? I got it, I'll take us wherever I'm a staple in the game, all my papers together And my life is on display like Truman They wanna pree the movements, gotta start to make 'em sooner My exes made some of my favorite music I dated women from my favorite movies Karma's such a thing of beauty I'd share more of my story but you wouldn't believe it It's far-fetched like I threw that shit a hundred meters I keep it a hundred like I'm running a fever I might take a breather but I won't ever leave you If I was you, I wouldn't like me either Yeah
An ode to loyalty and faithfulness, “Views” samples The Winans' “The Question Is”—a song about faith in God. But the 6 God speaks of a non-religious faith. The title track on Drake’s fourth studio album, Views, the song paints a picture of the rapper’s life on his road to success.
