Closer-Drake/Andreena Mill

[Intro: Drake] Yeah I remember me and, me and D used to talk about this kind of stuff all the time Like what it's gonna be like when you get closer to your dreams I didn't know much then but, probably tell you a lil' somethin' now [Verse 1: Drake] Mr. Big Dreams no tolerance Cut you at the house and haven't hollered since Get bored quickly He stay grown So the p-a-tron had to get poured quickly Ex girl strippin' I can't stop her New girl trippin' but I can't drop her Cause I need somethin' to balance out the fact That it's hard to find a woman when you talented and black When you hollerin' at labels And they silencing you back Cause you fail to thoroughly discuss some violence in ya track Well Gunshot for the young yacht owner See there's everybody else then there's one top loner First place is often the worst place But f**k it I love it here I call it my birthplace Whenever I walk in they makin' the worst face Surrounded by Filipinos I think of the worst case Watch blue and green diamonds I call it the Earth face I'm gettin' ya cake I tell you how ya dessert taste I get a dessert plate Y'all eat pedigree as ya meal I've been Urkel for some years it's better bein' Jaleel Though I rock lean snap it's better bein' this real It's better drivin' a car with the letter B in the wheel Seat back Light sayin' tank on E I got the drank on me You better bank on me To be the one and only n***a that you ain't gon' see In the club with a model spillin' drinks on me Nah Gimme 20 in the tank on 3 I'm in the Range bumpin' Keyshia Cole Singin' off-key like [Andreena harmonizes] I'mma spare y'all Why you wanna judge me I don't ever compare y'all The city is mine I know it because I'm there y'all It ain't even started I'm really tryna prepare y'all Spring '07 second quarter I'm droppin' With or without a label man I'm committed to poppin' And take over the summer Tour to tour hoppin' I'mma meet a lot of women I'mma do a lot of shoppin' Really no other option Spend a lot of money just to make it back Anybody I dissed in a song I don't take it back Same rappers that's all in ya face sayin' Drake is wack Are checkin' my availability just to make a track I promise mama I'mma do it cause I know I put you through it (I know I put you through it baby) And I just want you to sit around with ya friends at a dinner table And say "My baby's famous and I knew it" (yeah) And it wasn't nothin' to it I've drawn it and drew it 'til the pen was out of fluid The ballpoint run out Then all joints come out classic Rappers are fake we can all point one out [Drake Talking] Yeah I'd like to introduce you to the first lady of the ATF (uhh) Miss Andreena Mill [Hook: Andreena Mill] Closer to my dreams I'm gettin' higher Yeah I feel it in my sleep I said I'm gettin' higher Yeah And closer to my dreams Whoa Sometimes it feels like I'll never move on Closer to my dreams [Verse 2: Drake] Look I took a plane to Hawaii with D And we was trippin' off of the speed at which life progressed From meetin' Trey in Atlanta to doin' a cameo in his video Which made everything right with X (Songz) I got too many records and not enough shows Far too many rappers and not enough ___ Well You can fill the blank in They tryna be the best Just tryna place in the rankin' Day care play pen drop out To grade ten drop out To summer '05 with the grey Benz drop out Charcoal Charger Racin' through back streets On my Craig David s**t the Artful Dodger Shola Ama I told her I'mma 'Bout to get my run on so hold the commas Times've changed now I'm older mama And these niggas ain't solid they fold in drama And that's the realest s**t I ever wrote A compilation of mental thoughts that I never note And "Hi, haters I'm back off of hiatus How ya album doin'? I'm gettin' cake off of my latest" Anticipated like the iPhone Respected in any city that I roam Summertime Wintertime Dinnertime Anytime Bet I am the n***a in my town when I arrive Home [Outro: Drake talking] Yeah one more time 'fore we turn the lights out ladies and gentleman (Sing it to' em 'Dreena) lights 'bout to go down, curtains 'bout to close but I want y'all to enjoy yourself on the way out, yeah man (Yeah man) [Hook]
