“Things I Forgot To Do” shines light into Babeo Baggins and Drake’s changing lives; they’re both big superstars, so they can’t do the same things they used to. The song heavily interpolates (many would say covers) Jackson Browne’s “These Days.”
The song was originally leaked as a Drake song, titled...
[Verse 1: Drake]
I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
These days
[Verse 2: Babeo Baggins]
I stopped my rambling
Never been once a gambler, my town
But for you, for you, for you, just once
It might be fine these days
These days
[Verse 3: Drake]
I've met some women
I wish I had resisted these days
These days
These days I seem to think about how I have failed to change all of my ways, ohh
These days
[Verse 4: Both]
Yeah, I had a lover
Don't think I'd risk another these days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
Just listen to the life I've made in songs
These days
[Verse 5: Babeo Baggins & Drake]
I've had lovers
I've had lovers, one after another
But this time, me, myself and I are just fine
These days
These days
[Verse 6: Drake]
I've stopped the dreaming
I don't do too much scheming these days
These days
I sit inside a chauffeur car
With windows down and count the stars these days
These days
