The Resistance
Drake Song Lyrics

Yesterday when we were getting high, you were invited.

You would've liked it. i-i know you all too well.

I said that we could kiss the past goodbye, but you weren't excited, there's no way to fight it.

You can stay but shawty here I go...

[Verse 1]

Uh, should I spend the weekend in vegas?

I'm living inside a moment, not taking pictures to save it.

I mean, how could I forget? my memories never faded.

I can't relate to these haters, my enemies never made it.

I am, still here with who I started with.

The game needed life, I put my heart in it.

I blew myself up, I'm on some martyr shit.

Carried the weight for my city like a cargo ship.

Uh. I'm 23, with a money tree.

Growing more too, I just planted a hundred seeds.

It's ironic, 'cause my mother was a flourist,

And that's how she met my pops and now my garden is enourmous.

It's happening penny lane, just like you said.

I avoided the coke game, and went with sprite instead.

Uh huh, that's word to the millions that they putting up.

I'm trying to do better than good enough.

[Chorus]

What am I afraid of? this is suppose to be what dreams are made of.

But people I don't have the time to hang with, always look at me and say the same shit..(they say)

You promised me you would never change.

You promised me you would never change.

[Verse 2]

Uh. am I wrong for making light of my situation? clap on.

When 40 got some shit for me to snap on.

Now that I'm on, I don't really want to worry about getting back on.

I'm just trying to stay on, get my fucking buffet on.

I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home.

And I be acting like I don't know how to work a phone.

But hit redial you see that I just called, some chick I met at the mall,

That I barley know at all and..

Plus this woman that I messed with unprotected

Texting saying that she wish she would've kept it.

The one that I'm laying next to just looked over and read it.

Man I couldn't tell you where the fuck my head is, I'm holding on by a thread it's..

Like I'm high right now, the guy right now, and you can tell by looking in my eyes right now.

That nothing really comes as a surprise right now,

'cause we just having the time of our lives right now.

[Chorus]

What am I afraid of? this is suppose to be what dreams are made of.

But people I don't have the time to hang with, always look at me and say the same shit..(they say)

You promised me you would never change.

You promised you would never change.

[Verse 3]

Well all right. uh. I live by some advices, girl lisa told me.

The other day, lisa told that she missed the old me.

Which made me question when I went missing.

And when I start treating my friends different.

Maybe it was the fast paced switch up.

Or the two guns in my face during the stick up.

Maybe cause the girl I thought I trusted was who set the whole shit up.

Or the fact I haven't seen em since they locked big rich up.

I know. at the same time I'm quick to forget.

I'm bout to roll me up a blunt with my list of regrets.

Burn it all, burn it all, I'm starting it fresh.

Cause half the time I got it right I probably guessed.

Did I just trade free time for camera time?

Will I blow all of this money baby, hammer time?

I just need some closure.

Aint no turning back for me I'm in till it's over.
