Pound Cake / Paris Morton Music 2 Drake, JAY-Z

[00:00.42] Good God Almighty, like back in the old days
[00:03.37] You know, years ago they had the A&R men to tell you what to play
[00:06.56] How to play it and you know whether it's disco or rock
[00:09.54] But um, we just went in the studio and we did it
[00:12.46] We had champagne in the studio, of course, you know
[00:15.01] Compliments of the, the company, and we just laid back and did it
[00:20.96] So we hope you enjoy listening to this album half as much
[00:23.78] As we enjoyed playing it for you, because we had a ball
[00:29.16] Only real music is gonna last
[00:30.85] All that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow"

[01:13.82] I swear this got Michael Rapinos boostin' my ego
[01:16.55] Overly focused, it's far from the time to rest now

[01:39.89] Or work with their parents, but thinkin' back on how they treated me

[04:33.29] I'm the big homie, they still be tryna lil' bro me dog
[04:36.09] Like I should fall in line, like I should alert niggas
[04:38.53] When I'm 'bout to drop somethin' crazy and not say I'm the greatest of my generation
[04:43.12] Like I should be dressin' different
[04:45.68] Like I should be less aggressive and pessimistic
[04:48.08] Like I should be way more nervous and less dismissive
[04:51.00] Like I should be on my best behavior
[04:52.40] And not talk my shit and do it major like the niggas who paved the way for us
[04:56.66] Like I didn't study the game to the letter
[04:58.83] And understand that I'm not doin' it the same, man, I'm doin' it better
[05:02.76] Like I didn't make that clearer this year
[05:04.62] Like I should feel, I don't know, guilty for saying that
[05:06.96] They should put a couple more mirrors in here so I can stare at myself
[05:10.35] These are usually just some thoughts that I would share with myself
[05:13.48] But I thought "Fuck it"
[05:14.37] It's worth it to share 'em with someone else more than Paris for once
[05:17.36] I text her from time to time, she a mom now
[05:19.97] I guess sometimes life forces us to calm down
[05:22.56] I told her that she could live with me if she need to
[05:24.52] I got a compound but I think she's straight
[05:26.71] Cause she supported since Hot Beats right before Wayne came
[05:29.65] And got me out of the backroom where I was rapping with Jas over beats that I shouldn't have in the hopes for the glory
[05:36.24] He walked right past in the hallway
[05:37.48] Three months later I'm his artist
[05:38.85] He probably wouldn't remember that story
[05:42.09] But that shit stick with me
[05:43.12] Always couldn't believe when he called me
[05:44.58] You never know, it could happen to you
[05:48.13] And I just spent four Ferraris all on a brand new Bugatti
[05:50.58] And did that shit cause it's something to do, yeah
[05:54.45] I guess that's just who I became dawg
[05:56.23] Nothing was the same dawg
[06:01.97]
