Drake - Fireworks (feat. Alicia Keys)

[Verse 1]Money just changed everythin'I wonder how life without it would go?From the concrete who knew that a flower would grow?Lookin' down from the top and it's crowded belowMy fifteen minutes started an hour agoTruth over fame, you know I respect the blatant shitWhen I hear 'em talkin' I just don't know what to make of itHate is so familiar to meI'm slowly embracin' itDoesn't come naturalBear with me it could take a bitYeah, and my dreams are who I'm racin' withBut you can see I'm pacin' it so that I'm always chasin' itWayne put me right hereThat's who I get the paper withI hope that my success never alters our relationshipYeah, this life is somethin' I would die forOctober's Own but it's lookin' like July 4I just wish they'd let you try it firstThis time I'm really goin' off, fireworks[Verse 2]Oh, today it beginsI've missed them beforeBut won't miss them againI keep havin' the same dreamAnd I think that I just realized what it means[Verse 3]All I see is fireworksAll I see is fireworksEvery night is fireworksEvery night is fireworksAll I see is fireworksAll I see is fireworksTakin' off like fireworksTakin' off like, oh[Verse 4]I'm just such a gentlemenYou should give it up for meLook at how I'm placing all my napkins and my cutleryI could tell it wasn't loveI just thought you'd fuck with meWho coulda predicted lucky strike would have you stuck with meDamn, I kept my wits about me luckilyWhat happened between us that nightIt always seems to trouble meNow all of a sudden these gossip rags wanna cover meAnd you makin' it seem that it happened that way because of meBut I was curiousAnd I'll never forget it, baby, what an experienceYou coulda been the one, but it wasn't that seriousThere was smoke in the air beforeThat was me clearing itThat felt goodAll and all I learned a lesson from it, thoughYou never see it comin'You just get to see it goYeah, I shoulda looked up in the sky at firstNow I can see it in her eyes, fireworks[Verse 5]Oh, today it beginsI've missed them beforeBut won't miss them againI keep havin' the same dreamAnd I think that I just realized what it means[Verse 6]All I see is fireworksAll I see is fireworksEvery night is fireworksEvery night is fireworksAll I see is fireworksAll I see is fireworksTakin' off like fireworksTakin' off like, oh[Verse 7]Everythin' the same but it feels differentMy dad called me up knowin' that I still listenAnd he's still got his foot out, guilt trippin'It's been years, thoughI just learned to deal with itFor real, me and my realtorWe built up a better rapportGot my mother in a place with some better decorShe searched the entire cityI let her exploreAnd now she sayin' she more lonely than ever beforeHow many of our parents marriages lasted?I was only five, I bet I barely reactedI'm flyin' back home for the Heritage ClassicSearchin' for that feelin', tell me where is the magic?Let's stay together till we're ghostsI wanna witness love, I never seen it closeYeah, but I guess I gotta find it firstThat's why I'm really goin', off fireworks[Verse 8]Oh, today it beginsI've missed them beforeBut won't miss them againI keep havin' the same dreamAnd I think that I just realized what it means[Verse 9]All I see is fireworksAll I see is fireworksEvery night is fireworksEvery night is fireworksAll I see is fireworksAll I see is fireworksTakin' off like fireworksTakin' off like, oh, ohOh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh
