There are two types of people in this world: people who love Drake’s "Views," and people who are wrong.
Do you know how the Internet has been telling us to “get a man who can do both?” Well, Drake is that man. Actually, he can do more than both. The songs on "Views" range from sorrow to seductive to self-confident and everything in between. One track is melodic, smooth, and can sing you to sleep, while the next is an anthem that can hype you up for just about anything. However, one thing that has stayed consistent throughout the album, and throughout Drake’s career for that matter, is the fact that he is a lyrical genius. I mean, the man is responsible for some of the greatest Instagram captions of all time. Aside from the fact that his words are extremely quotable, as I listened to "Views," I couldn’t help but think, “Damn, that was a good burn.” This continued to happen, and thus, the idea for this compilation of lyrics was born. Enjoy.
1. For when you were with them from day one:
I always saw you for what you could've been
And even when it's business with you it's personal again
I knew you before you made ends meet and now we're meeting our end
2. For when they were holding you back:
I tried with you
There's more to life than sleeping in and getting high with you
I had to let go of us to show myself what I could do And that just didn't sit right with you
3. For when you've left them speechless:
Yeah, how's that for real? You toyin' with it like Happy Meal 3 dots, you thinkin' of a reaction still
4. For when you couldn't commit:
Relationships slowin' me down, they slow down the vision
Guess I'm not in a position to deal with commitment
5. For when you just, uh, can't think of anything to say at the moment?:
I'm searchin' for these words to say to you
Please give me time
Cause I'm searchin' for these words to say to you
Oh please give me time
Cause I'm searchin' for these words to say to you right now
6. For when they were going behind your back:
But you can't just diss and come tell man sorry
You can't listen to me talk and go tell my story
Nah, it don't work like that when you love somebody
7. For when they need to be told straight up:
You hate it when I coat things all in sugar
You want to hear the real talk, well, girl, who wouldn't?
8. For when it was a one-sided relationship:
I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it
9. For when there are trust issues:
I figure out you, you figure out me
We both a different breed I'm followin' your lead, I ask you what you need You say "a guarantee" I mean you say that like it's easy You never believe me
10. For when they're lucky you're keeping your cool:
Momma is a saint, yes she raised me real good
All because of her I don't do you like I should
11. For when they deserve this:
You platinum like wrappers on Hershey's boy that shit is worthless
12. For when you want them back:
I know you're seein' someone that loves you
And I don't want you to see no one else
I don't want you here with no one else
I don't wanna do this with no one else
13. For when they're moving on without you:
Ever since I left the city,
You got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Girl you got me down, you got me stressed out
14. For...well, I mean, obviously I needed to put this one:
Why you gotta fight with me at Cheesecake
You know I love to go there
Say I'm actin' lightskin,
I can't take you nowhere
This a place for families that drive Camrys and go to Disney
They don't need to know all of our business.
There. You told them.
