The Calm Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Uh, I’m just so far gone, october’s own, Please leave me alone /
Drunk off champagne screamin’ in the phone /
See my house is not a home, fuck is goin’ on /
Where did we go wrong, where do we belong /
Caught up in the game and it’s one I can’t postpone /
Meaning if it rains I’m the one it’s raining on /
When my diamond chain is on still nothing set in stone /
Women borrow sweaters that I spray wit my cologne /
And tell me don’t forget ‘em and I promise that I won’t /
Feelin’ so distant from everyone I’ve known /
To make everybody happy I think I would need a clone /
Places we get flown, parties that we’ve thrown /
I’ve done more for this city then these rappers that have blown /
It’s only been 3 Years look at how I’ve grown /
I’m just in my zone, I call this shit the calm /
Yea, but I’m the furthest thing from calm /
Dedicated to my mom, and I swear my word is bond /
Everything will be ok and it won’t even take that long /
You can see it in my face or even read it on my palm /
Leader of the new school it’s proven and it’s known /
I’m sittin’ in a chair but in the future it’s a throne /
I know you like to worry it’ll be better if you don’t cause . . /

[TAlKiNG]

You know, everything gone be alright, I promise. A
pologize to you know, to put ya’ll in this position and vent to ya’ll but . .
40 mom always say, “Don’t ask permisson, just ask forgiveness”
you know, so..forgive me.

[VERSE 2]

Uh, And life is so insane, look what I’ve became, tryna make a name /
All my first dates are interrupted by my fame /
Because every picture taken is a fan that you can gain /
They love it when you smile unaware that it’s a strain /
It’s a curse you gotta live wit when you born to entertain /
Women need attention and fore women will complain /
Develop hatred for men and say that your the one to blame /
Tryna enjoy myself wit Taz in miami at the game /
I just wish he knew how much it really weighed like dwayne /
It’s a weight that’s on my chest whoever spottin’ me is playin’ /
So I’m liftin’ all alone try not to get a sprain /
Hopin’ western union doing currency exchange /
Cause my dad called and got me feelin’ guilty and ashamed /
like, how I had a rose and I went and got a range /
And he payin’ for his cigarettes wit dollars and some change /
damn, and I could only feel his pain /
Cause in memphis tennessee there’s only so much to attain /
So I’m fillin’ out the form at the counter once a-gain /
He say he love me I just hope he doesn’t say that shit in vain /
I’m the reason why yo girl heart is in a slang /
Call me heartbreak Drake I’m the hardest one to tame /
As a man I’m just honest as a artist I’ma king /
Wit my own set of problems that be sittin’ on my brain /
Yea, And see this is the thang /
What they viewing as braggin’ is the way that I maintain /
The shit I write while staring out the window of a plane /
Is the single handed reason I Remain . . /

[TAlKiNG]

Me, Yea.. Uh, I said I call this shit the calm.
But I’m the furthest thing from calm.
I swear I’m puttin’ on but they always wanna ask what type of act you puttin’ on like.. Man.
