quake matthews - when to say when (drake remix) lyrics

[intro: jay+z]

there’s a knowing in being an artist
there’s a knowing
you can’t guess, you can’t think
there’s a knowing
you have to know

[verse]

i can’t lie like these other rappers
cause this life really ain’t all sun and flowers
whatchu know about putting all your chips on one bet
knowing that the odds are you gon’ be left with nothing after
’cause success ain’t guaranteed
but as a wide+eyed teen, i told myself i was a rare breed
when me and d+ckie used to share tee’s
when me and every local rappеr who since quit shared dreams
now thеy got nine+to+fives, and they got families
i’m still tryin’ to find a partridge in a pear tree
starin’ at my old notebook with a future list of accomplishments
written in present tense like i already accomplished them
i swear i’d be as big as nas and them
that was probably the molly givin’ me the confidence
but i still got the hunger of a somalian
starin’ at your yacht through a broken pair of binoculars
so how i’m supposed to know when to say when?
look at ross, gotti, 2 chainz, and them
they ain’t really hit their peak ’till their mid 30’s
i got belief, but i’m still worried
gary v. said i’m still early
that lens is still blurry
and 30 just smacked me in the head
all i know, is that my girls be talkin’ kids
so we’ll probably need a crib, not a baby’s bed
i mean somewhere to live, something’s gotta give
lord give me a sign, i’m screaming like “dear max”
back in my mom’s bas+m+nt, saving for a down payment
all this money that i spent on rap, probably spent on a thousand acres
ah, f+ck it, it’s done now and i can’t change it, so i’m still campaignin’
and they just k!lled my mentor
asking god “why it had to be him for”?
and then i drove past a work truck, carrying a pitchfork, took it as a sign
the devil is alive, if everybody dies
then maybe it’s time we started changing the sh+t we live for
but it’s hard switching no habits
guess i’d rather switch flow patterns
guess i’d rather go to bed on this old mattress
and i think about about security, pretending that my goals matter
and this the life that you’d k!ll for?
yeah, i went on some trips, and had a song on the billboard
and sure, i had that drake co+sign
but you don’t see the other side
