Jammy Jam: Drake - Fear

(Real blogposts of my life will be posted shortly.)

I knew this kid was gonna get big. But I never would have expected he'd be the most hyped up and coming artist, and sustain the hype without a major record label release.

Here's the new track from the new So Far Gone EP which will be released on September 15th. It's the sole new song from when So Far Gone was released as a free mixtape back in February 2009. This track is lyrically and emotionally comparable to Say What's Real, with Wheelchair Jimmy describing his experiences and thoughts as he grows within the music industry.



Yeah.
This is why I do this shit.
I think they call this, um... "venting". Heh.
Yeah. Look, uh.

This is me, still the same
They want the hits, I play the game
No auto-tune, but you can feel the pain
It all comes spilling out like I hit a vein
What up Little Bruh, what up Slum Vill
I hope you know that y'all the reason I have fun still
And fans thinkin' that we all signed for one mill
Equal opportunity rappin' that shit is unreal
That ain't how it works, that ain't how it goes
And I be gettin' high just to balance out the lows
And I could use a writer just to balance out my flows
But I never share my thoughts, this is all a nigga knows
And everytime I try, it opens up my eyes
These verses are a chance to be rememebred and reprised
And I will be performing this as long as I'm alive
So every word I utter will be mine

Don't believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me
I remember you
This feeling isn't new
So please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me

(Don't take this the wrong way but umm...)
I never cried when 'Pac died, but I probably will when Hov does
And if my tears hold value then I will drop one for every single thing he showed us
And I'd be standin' in a puddle
I stay away from niggas that could land me in some trouble
And I'mma keep it honest I'm so tired of being subtle
It's just me, 40-O, and Nik standing in a huddle
Staring at the members of my team
Who get questioned 'bout their profit from this million dollar scheme
Just know that I'm in debt for you defending all our dreams
I hope you tell your families this shit ain't what it seems
But y'all the reason for a lot of my devotion
You know I spend money because spending time is hopeless
And know I pop bottles cuz I bottle my emotions
At least I put all in the open (yeah)


Don't believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me
I remember you
This feeling isn't new
So please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me

Look, fuck all y'all we ignore feelings here
Premature millionaires, welcome to my realest year (yeah)
I swear that we makin' a killin' here
I should be on top of the world, just chillin' here (uhh)
But it's funny having fans
who find you before anybody ever has a chance
And build you up so you could be the biggest in the game
And realize when you're there sometimes your shit don't feel the same (yeah)
And plus things are just surreal at home
People think I change just cuz my appeal has grown
And now security follow me everywhere so I never actually am alone
I just always feel alone
I think I'm scared of what the future holds
I was wishin' for some things, and now I'm used to those
Every girl I meet thinks I'm fucking groupie hoes
The honesty of my music has left me too exposed
All my old friends think I got a new crowd
And people seem to notice everytime I do smile
I guess that means they come few and far between
Even though I'm living out what you would call the dream (yeah)
And my uncle ain't even messaging me
And him missing in my life is kinda messing with me
I hope this isn't one of those forever things
It's funny how money can change everything

Don't believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me
I remember you
This feeling isn't new
So please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me
