Therapy Session

[Verse 1]
What a time to be alive
Started from the bottom, now I'm in the headlines
A cat has 9 lives, but if you're from Toronto and your name's Drake, then I guess you got 6 lives
I got a couple feelings that I cannot describe
So much shit on my mind, I just might
Fall in a hole and get lost in my thoughts
But I won't let emotions be the boss
Feelings get you hurt, that's what I observed
If you care too much, then they will throw you in the fucking dirt
But if you show nothing, they gon' fade away like Dirk
So no matter what, you're considered as a jerk
You keep asking yourself: ''Is this really what I desеrve?"
Calm down, homie, 'cause you know you'rе not the first
But you won't be the last
You know that's a fact
You gon' laugh 'cause it's true, but you know that it's sad
Sit down with me:
The lesson that I learned is that you could be the nicest person, but don't expect to get the same treatment
I learned that everything happens for a reason
So mistakes are actually achievements
If someone gave me 5 million dollars to go back in time to fix the wrongs I did, I still wouldn't go
I wouldn't be as wise and I wouldn't know as much as I do now
Imma say it out loud
Mistakes start with a M, but the M is upside down
Once you know what life's about
I look like everybody else, but I still stand out
Fuck words, I let my actions speak out
To the people that left me, when you see me doing better than y'all
Make sure to not change the route, motherfuckers
Everybody knows I run this town, motherfucker
Just know that I'm not the one to doubt, motherfucker
You gon' fuck around and find out that I'm done being cool with everybody
Watch out, motherfucker
I want a certain 'mount of money, where before I'm 'bout to spend it
I don't have to look at my account, motherfucker
Like me, there wasn't and there won't be another
Lifetime wounds that are never gon' recover
I share what I've been through, it's so fucking crippling
But as always, homie, thank you for your listening

[Interlude]
*You gotta put thought into this shit, nigga
If you wanna reach greatness
You know what I mean?
If you wanna do something special
If you wanna do something unique
Or you can go out there blindfolded like 99% of these motherfuckers do and just wish
Or hope to get lucky
Fuck luck
Ain't no luck*

[Verse 2]
Look
You ever felt like you wasn't enough?
No matter how good you wanted to be, you had it rough
You ever tried to change for somebody?
Just to see that they won't do the same shit for you, prolly
You ever tried so much that you forgot about yourself 'cause you didn't wanna seem selfish?
I won't give a fuck if they don't give a fuck about me, it's the moments that I'm all alone that Imma fucking cherish
Being alone is the best thing that ever happened, I don't need another friend when I already got myself
Having conversations with my mind, asking it who I should be like?
It told me: "Don't change, be yourself''
Why be somebody else when you got your own path?
Stupid for thinking that they will care and, boy, you know that
Got emotions, but when I'm going out, I won't show that
Why would you wanna be in the shadow when the sun's out?
Why would you wanna sleep when you wanna chase your dreams?
Only 15, but already making my schemes
Letting go of my past 'cause that shit don't last forever
I'm just looking at what is ahead of me
Imma make my family happy by any fucking means
Because I won't ever forget what they have done for me
They gave me a crib, some food on the plate, a TV
Clothes and just everything that I need
I'm grateful that they got me and I'm grateful that I got them
I wouldn't wanna know what it's like to live without them
The stories that I heard about a lost father figure or a mother figure
I couldn't imagine that shit, it's tragic
Everything's normal nowadays, it ain't dramatic
We love watching the news because we love to panic
Murder, accidents and war
The only things they show
They don't show you how a beautiful flower can grow
Negatives get more attention than the positives
When you flash the camera to a person that is doing good for others
They'll forget about it 'cause they'll see a tragedy and they will rather look at that 7 times out of 6
Tired of bitching about the world and how we living 'cause it ain't changing soon
I share what I've been through, it's so fucking crippling
Until next time, thank you for your listening
