{verse 1: drake}
I needed to hear that sh*t, i hate when you're submissive
Passive-aggressive when we’re texting, i feel the distance
I look around the peers that surround me, these ni**as tripping
I like when money makes a difference but don't make you different
Started realizing a couple places i could take it
I want to get back to when i was that kid in the basement
I want to take it deeper than money, pussy, vacation
And influence a generation that's lacking in patience
I’ve been dealing with my dad, speaking of lack of patience
Just me and my old man getting back to basics
We've been talking 'bout the future and time that we wasted
When he put that bottle down, girl, that ni**a's amazing
Well, fu*k it, we had a couple coronas
We might have rolled a white paper, just something to hold us
We even talked about you and our couple of moments
He said we should hash it out like a couple of grown-ups
You a flower child, beautiful child, i'm in your zone
Looking like you came from the seventies on your own
My mother is sixty-six and her favorite line to hit me with is
"who the fu*k wants to be seventy and alone?"
You don't even know what you want from love anymore
I search for something i'm missing and disappear when i'm bored
But girl, what qualities was i looking for before?
Who you settling for? who better for you than the boy, huh?
{verse 2: j. cole}
I’m loving your light, vulnerable
Letting your guard down, it’s honorable
'specially when the past ain’t been that
Friendly to you, but there's magic in that
You the flower that i gotta protect
And keep alive in the wintertime, ayy, don't you die yet
You been way more than a friend of mine, we more like fam
I raise you, you raise me, let's turn this whole life ’round
You can confide in me, i could take the weight
Up off your shoulder blades and try to store the pain inside of me
Ayy, why the world do you like that?
Like they don't know you god-sent, but me, i view you like that
I'm sneaking glances, thanking god that he drew you like that
Beautiful black child, come and shed your black cloud
For your vibe and your smile, i don't mind a lil' rain
I'm your dog, ears perk up at the sound of your name
Count on your main, wildfire, can't handle your flame
Download your shame, wild high, come drown in your fragrance
You that red pill that a ***** found in the matrix
Before i had you, this **** was fantasy
You plant a seed to grow some roots, a branch, and leaves
Becomes a tree of life until our nights are filled
With peace from stress and strife
And that's the blessing that i get from wifing you
'cause you entrusted me with the key to your heart
Beating you smart, 'cause even though i need a new start
Due to my past transgressions, you believed in me
I guess the light i see in you is what you see in me, lord

Say she from the westside, mmm
And she see my best side, mmm, mmm
