1 Southern Smoke!!!

2 ''[Intro: Drake Talking]''

3 Yeah. Ren. M.O.F. Haha.

4 It's Drake man. It's Drake man.Yeah

5 Ayo Ren this that gritty shit here man

6 I'ma half to tell them about I been through on this know what I mean

7 HO! Southern Smoke!!!

8 ''[Verse 1: Drake]''

9 Very few give you that truth, it's either they can't do it with lyrics

10 Or can't do it in spirit, they cancel what they doing

11 The samples that they using, can't get through the clearing

12 I'll handle it since they just can't get you to hear it

13 My father's early careering forced my parents to split up

14 My mother was a teacher, my father was kind of fed up

15 With just being a florist, the choir sang his chorus

16 And he got back into doing what he was doing before us

17 Because money is an issue, your son he gon miss you

18 And plus you got a wife at home because mommy still exist too

19 Now you looking for exes, you ain't never expect this

20 You end up doing time, and me I end up with a step-sis

21 Nobody passing judgment, or question where the drugs went

22 You know I hold you down because without you, I'd be a wasn't

23 And mommy I'ma support her, I keep it all in order

24 See her with tears in her eyes or you arrested at the border

25 But

26 ''[Chorus: Nickelus F]''

27 I got stress on my shoulders

28 Trying to keep my heart pure but this world is making it colder

29 Young black man dodge your bullets trying to get older

30 And you wonder why we turn to drugs and chain smokers

31 IT'S STRESS MY NIGGA!!!

32 I'm just trying to live my life cuz

33 Make a little money, find a bunny

34 To make my wife cuz BO!, BO!, BO!, BO!

35 I'm just trying to live my life cuz

36 Make a little money, find a bunny

37 To make my wife cuz BO!, BO!, BO!, BO!

38 ''[Verse 2: Drake]''

39 This is my life, and so the rest is kinda been cool, question what I been through

40 I write a verse addressing it, and yes I might offend you

41 Picture when I was in school,

42 Me being the closest thing to black, and guess what rap music what I was into

43 Rest of the kids were sheltered, I never liked to fight

44 But when someone called me a "nigger" I'd punch them I couldn't help it

45 Now I'm grown I can say what it is

46 It's parents that got these Black and Filipino nannies raising they kids

47 And your daddy want it very right

48 I make you happy, plus I'm Jewish, he don't approve, I think he want you to marry white

49 He want Sinatra at the wedding, not Barry White

50 Because black is black honey, even if he's very light

51 And so I never been for dinner at they places

52 Always brutally honest, and so I pin it to they faces

53 I live it so the case is, whether Drake is

54 Way ahead of his time, or inquisitive and racist

55 ''[Chorus: Nickelus F]''

56 I got stress on my shoulders

57 Trying to keep my heart pure but this world is making it colder

58 Young black man dodge your bullets trying to get older

59 And you wonder why we turn to drugs and chain smokers

60 IT'S STRESS MY NIGGA!!!

61 I'm just trying to live my life cuz

62 Make a little money, find a bunny to make my wife cuz BO!, BO!, BO!, BO!

63 I'm just trying to live my life cuz

64 Make a little money, find a bunny to make my wife cuz BO!, BO!, BO!, BO!

65 ''[Verse 3: Drake]''

66 Am I hot as the rest, should I strive for my spot as the best

67 Like girls with Double D's, I gotta lot on my chest

68 There's questions that need to be answered that's not on the test

69 Instead of staring at quizzes (?) now it's models with breasts

70 And yes, when I'm dismissed after a tedious listen

71 I sit at home and say I should of been a pediatrician

72 Homie, I probably could of been on TV consistent

73 An artist like Pablo, or maybe Petey's assistant

74 And my mindset is come and get me

75 I'm all alone at home with my mom and grandma and ain't nobody running with me

76 So, if you got the heart to come in here and kill a lady, daughter, and her grandson

77 Nigga get the handgun

78 If not, you gon make me call the burbs out in Richmond

79 That have you niggas laying out on the curb, they some hitmen

80 Last couple of months I done probably been

81 Around the world and back, and I don't wanna question half the places Nick been

82 ''[Chorus: Nickelus F (Drake ad-libs)]''

83 I got stress on my shoulders (Uh!)

84 Trying to keep my heart pure but this world is making it colder (Yeah!)

85 Young black man dodge your bullets trying to get older (Oh!)

86 And you wonder why we turn to drugs and chain smokers (Yeah man!)

87 IT'S STRESS MY NIGGA!!!

88 I'm just trying to live my life cuz

89 Make a little money, find a bunny

90 To make my wife cuz BO!, BO!, BO!, BO! (This that gritty shit boy)

91 I'm just trying to live my life cuz (Got me winded over here man)

92 Make a little money, find a bunny

93 To make my wife cuz BO!, BO!, BO!, BO! (Uh)
