Light Up Lyrics - Drake

1 I've been up for 4 days

2 Getting money both ways

3 Dirty and clean, I could use a glass of cold Spades

4 Rolexes, chauffeurs and low fades

5 I keep thinking how young you can die from old age

6 They always tell me nobody's working as hard as you

7 And even though I laugh it off, man, it's probably true

8 Cuz while all of my closest friends out partying

9 I'm just here making all the music that they party to

10 But party on, party on, all night nigga

11 I got these new rappers nervous prom night nigga

12 I've grown tired of these fucking grown man liars

13 Storytellers, they ain't even need a campfire

14 Uhh, but I just wanna tell the truth

15 Before one of these haters load a couple shells and shoot

16 This shit feel like when Fredro Starr was at Sunset Park

17 Stuntin' hard in his yellow Goose

18 Yeah, but I'm a ma'fuckin' missed target

19 But a target nonetheless and I just started

20 Was that directed at moi? It can't be

21 They must be talking to themselves, hoes hands free

22 Yeah, and I'm just filling up this daily planner

23 Gettin' busy 'cause I'm a star, no spangled banner

24 Jealous dudes get to talkin' in they music

25 And I just say I wrote it for your girlfriends, Kelsey Grammar

26 Yeah, that's what life becomes when you're doing you

27 Welcome to Hollywood, don't let this town ruin you,

28 And if you pillow talking with the women that are screwin' you

29 Just know that she gon' tell another nigga when she through wit you

30 Don't get impatient when it takes too long

31 Drink it all even when it tastes too strong

32 Yeah, I gotta feel alive, even if it kills me

33 I promise to always give you me, the real me

34 [Chorus: Drake]

35 Who would have thought

36 I'd be caught in this life?

37 Let's celebrate with a toast

38 And get lost in tonight

39 And make it all light up

40 (Hey, Guru, tell hom' to go to open that Ace right there),

41 Wait until the sun goes down

42 We gon' make this bitch light up

43 Even when the sun goes down

44 I'm gon' make this go

45 [Verse 2: Jay-Z]

46 Owww, hoes turn they heads like, owls

47 I'm the man of the hour

48 Triple entendre, don't even ask me how

49 Con Edison flow, I'm connected to a higher power

50 Bright life'd make your whole city light up

51 A trillion-watt light bulb, when I'm in the nightclub

52 I just landed in that G450

53 Caught the Mayweather fight, 'cause the satellite was crispy

54 (Uh) Y'all can miss me with that money talk

55 The smart money's on Hov, fuck what the dummies talk

56 I don't do too much blogging

57 I just run the town, I don't do too much jogging

58 (Unh) I ain't got a scar yet

59 'Cause you fuckin' around with me and my dogs is far-fetched

60 Drake, here is how they gon' come at you

61 Will silly raps for you tryin' to distract you

62 In disguise, in the form of a favor

63 The Barzini me, watch for the traitors

64 (Unh) I done seen it all, done it all

65 That's why none of these dumb-dumb could dun him off

66 The summer's ours, the winter too

67 Top down in the winter, that's what winners do

68 And to these niggas I'm like Windows 7

69 You let 'em tell it, they swear that they invented you

70 And since no good deed go unpunished

71 I'm not as cool with niggas as I once was

72 I once was, cool as The Fonz was

73 But these bright lights turned me to a monster

74 Sorry, mama, I promised it wouldn't change me

75 But I would've went insane had I remained the same me

76 Fuck niggas, bitches too

77 All I got is this money, this'll do

78 [Chorus: Drake]

79 Who would have thought

80 I'd be caught in this life?

81 Let's celebrate with a toast

82 And get lost in tonight

83 And make it all light up

84 Wait until the sun goes down

85 We gon' make this bitch light up

86 Wait until the sun goes down

87 I'm gon' make this go
