Drake - Say What's Real Lyrics






Why do I feel so alone
Like everybody passing through the studio is in character
As if he acting out a movie role
Talking bullshit as if it was for you to know
And I don't have the heart to give these bitch niggaz the cue to go

So they stick around, kicking out feedback
And I entertain it as if I need that
I had a talk with my uncle and he agreed that
My privacy about the only thing I need back

But it's hard to think of them polite flows
When Stefano Pilati suits are your night clothes
And Jordan sweat suits are your flight clothes
And you still make it even when they say your flight close

Eyes hurting from the camera phone light shows
Life was so full, now this shit just being lipo'd
Always said I'd say it all on the right track
But in this game you only lose when you fight back

Black-diamond bracelets,
Showing you the basics
I can't live and hold the camera
Someone got to tape this
I make hits and like a bitch that's married, I ain't miss
24 hours from greatness,
I'm that close

Don't ever forget the moment you began to doubt
Transitioning from fitting in to standing out
Los Angeles, Cabanas, or Atlanta South
Watching Hov's show, embarrassed to pull my camera out

And my mother embarrassed to pull my Phantom out
So I park about 5 houses down
She say I shouldn't have it until I have the crown
But I don't wanna feel the need to wear disguises around

So she wonder where my mind is, account's in the minus
But yet I roll around the fucking city like your highness
Got niggaz reacting without a sinus
'Cause what I'm working with is timeless

And promoters tryna get me out to they club
And say I have fun, but I can't imagine how
'Cause I just see my ex-girl,
Standing with my next girl,
Standing with the girl that I'm fucking right now

And shit could get weird, unless they all down
And so I stay clear, we from a small town
And everybody talks, and everybody listen
And somehow the truth just always comes up missing

I've always been something that these labels can't buy
Especially if they tryna take a piece of my soul
And Sylvia be tellin' Tez, "Damn, Drake fly."
And he just be like, "Silly motherfucker, I know.
That was your bad, how could you pass up on 'em?
He just take them records and he gas up on 'em.
Wayne would probably put a million cash up on 'em.
Surprised no one ever put your ass up on 'em."

Oh they did Po, at least they tried to
And that's what happen when you spitting what's inside you
But slip up and shoot the wrong fucking video
And they think they can market you however they decide to

Nah, but 40 told me to do me
And don't listen to anybody that knew me
'Cause who have known me, would mean that there's a new me
And if you think I changed in the slightest could've fooled me

Boy, and to my city I'm the 2-3
Drug dealers live vicariously through me
I quit school and it's not because I'm lazy
I'm just not the social type and campus life is crazy

Understand, I could get money with my eyes closed
Lost some of my hottest verses down in Cabo
So if you find a Blackberry with the side scroll
Sell that motherfucker to any rapper that I know

'Cause they need it much more than I ever will
I got new shit, I'm getting better still
Little niggaz put my name in they verses
'Cause they girlfriend put my ass on a pedestal

Future said, "'Cause it's Ye shit you better kill."
And I think this got that making-of-a-legend feel
Problem with these other niggaz they ain't never real
Yeah, it's all I can say

Drake Say What's Real Comments
  1. I.... B....

    2020 And This still Hit✍🏽

  2. M.... K....

    Never forget the OG on this beat. Kanye who most people won’t realize made this track first, this is drake going back to his roots that Kanye left for him to climb up.

  3. C.... ....

    People think "Best I ever Had" was Drake's arrival. Nope. THIS was his arrival. I heard this and told this guy I was working with that Drake is going to be bigger than Wayne ever was and he scoffed. I knew what I was hearing.

  4. C.... M....

    Before he dumbed down his music to double his dollars.

  5. J.... ....

    Legend has it, rappers are still searching for drake lost black berry with the side scroll

  6. J.... ....

    Here after that radar interview 2020 will be wild

  7. l.... ....

    This dropped when I was a sophomore in highschool. I'm glad I was around to witness the music during that time.

  8. B.... B....

    NO COMMENT

  9. G.... M....

    J. Cole would had murdered this beat if he had used this on the Warm Up mixtape

    G.... M....

    Game Makers maybe but the way drake went in on this dont think it woulda mattered

  10. J.... ....

    Say You Will (Canadian Remix)

  11. E.... S....

    This is drizzy wen he's spitting from his heart n his souls feelings it!!! 💯

  12. N.... T....

    2019🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  13. v.... 2....

    Sample: Kanye West - Say you will

    v.... 2....

    It's not a sample lol drake just use the beat in 09

  14. p.... ....

    lots of people aren't realising this is kanye's "say you will"

  15. I.... A....

    Does anyone else hear the metal gear solid psyco mantis theme in the beat too?

  16. h.... ....

    Drakes most slept on song

  17. B.... D....

    My favorite Drake track, the first one I ever heard

  18. O.... C....

    Took 10 years to clear because this track scared every established artist in the game at the time. But lil Wayne is a real one,made sure this track got heard.

    O.... C....

    @ChampionGold How do yo know?

    O.... C....

    I knew about this song before it even hit radio. Or the internet. But okay. You can have it. Say no but the guy who rapped on it has had number 1 hits for a decade. Key word rapped on it. Never said he wrote it. Ye even admitted this track intimidated him.

    O.... C....

    And ya the rightful writer never got credit so maybe your right.

  19. L.... ....

    Fame changes people and it shows in the music . This is quality . Now its quantity

  20. R.... M....

    I NOW pronounce you husband and wife.

  21. R.... M....

    I know pronounce you husband and wife.

  22. R.... M....

    Now we both say I Do.

  23. R.... M....

    She said yes.

  24. R.... M....

    WIll you marry me Emilia Isobel Euphemia Rose Clarke?!

  25. L.... D....

    Will You Marry Me Aubrey 🥰💖🦂

    L.... D....

    @ChampionGold 😟😒😌😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
    ❤️💙🦂💚

  26. S.... ....

    That moment when you use a checkout bleep to make a beat

    S.... ....

    SuperKamiGuru Kanye made it

  27. D.... A....

    Say what’s real, headlines and lord knows are the best of Drake’s tracks, try come @ me💁🏾‍♀️

    D.... A....

    Deborah Araya I just want you to know ... you can get it .... twice on a Sunday

    D.... A....

    Andres Mendoza 😂🤣😂🤦‍♂️

  28. L.... M....

    Damn Drake has really changed, but it’s not bad. He’s adapted to change. But IMHO nothing will compare to this. Thank Me Later and Take Care are my favorite albums. I remember Drake on Degrassi .

  29. N.... G....

    2019 and its still a banger!

  30. A.... B....

    The moment i heard this, i knew drakes legit

  31. R.... E....

    Without 808s & Heartbreak there wouldn't be a drake/kidcudi/future/theweeknd/travisscott

    R.... E....

    Ralph Estrada Kid Cudi helped Kanye making 808s and A Kid Named Cudi was out before 808s so.. Why Future ?? Travi$ Scott was more influenced by Yeezus i think

    R.... E....

    gianni kid doesn’t know shit

    R.... E....

    gianni don’t try to educate thru YouTube comments lol

    R.... E....

    Future is nothing close to 808s and heartbreak wtf

    R.... E....

    Without Kid Cudi there would be no 808s. Without Travis theres no Yeezus. SFG came out before 808s too

  32. W.... L....

    lost some of my hottest verses down in cabo, so if you find a blackberry with a side scroll sell mf to any rapper that i know...

  33. I.... R....

    Satanic fuck

  34. A.... C....

    Very underrated song !!!!!!!!!

  35. D.... C....

    Mr West on the production 🤭

  36. R.... J....

    Damn now that's 🔥....

  37. B.... S....

    Back when BlackBerry had Market Share

    B.... S....

  39. L.... T....

    "I make hits and like a bitch that's married I ain't miss" bet that flew over somebody head

  40. K.... M....

    When I fell in love with Drizzy Drake!

  41. D.... M....

    D.... G....

    This a Kanye Song* That Drake made without it being cleared until this February it barely got cleared

    D.... G....

    VICX MonkY This isn’t Kanye’s song, the beat is Kanye’s from Say You Will, this song is completely different, Drake outdid him on the beat

  51. s.... ....

    "Don't ever forget the moment you began to doubt...transitioning from fitting in to standing out". 09 Drake was something special.

    s.... ....

    D.... 2....

    Mixtape*

    D.... 2....

    BIG FACTS

    D.... 2....

  59. D.... 2....

    DA1NONLYCHINO 2K u know this shit is 10 years old too 😂

    D.... 2....

    This ain't even an album lmaooo

  60. D.... ....

    Kanye gets mentally depressed cause he knows Drake took his best and made it better

    D.... ....

    Cash Carti Bitch fuck you.

    D.... ....

    D.... ....

    Harvard Dropout you actually saying that?

    D.... ....

    Deadpool this better be a joke, I agree drake is running the game right now, but you can’t even compare him to ye. Ye has 4-5 classic albums. Drake has maybe 2, his mixtape and take care. Kanye and drake are both amazing but Kanye is at a new level

  67. D.... ....

    Kanye backed down cause he knows Drake is the goat

    D.... ....

    His writers also gave him his lyrics. It’s not even a competition between Kanye and Drake. Drake is only favored by 12-13 year old white boys.

    D.... ....
