{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 {outro: j. cole} Say she from the westside, mmm And she see my best side, mmm, mmm
