The Calm Lyrics


I'm just so far gone, October's own
Please leave me alone
Drunk off champagne, screaming in the phone
See my house is not a home, fuck is going onWhere 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
With my diamond chain's on still nothing setting stoneWomen borrow sweaters that I spray with my cologne
And tell me don't forget them and I promise that I won't
Feeling so distant from everyone I've known
To make everybody happy I think I would need a clonePlaces we get flown, parties that we've thrown
I done more for this city than these rappers that have blown
It's only been three years, look at how I've grown
I'm just in my zone, I call this shit the calmYeah, but I'm the furthest thing from calm
Dedicated to my mom and I swear my word is bond
Everything will be okay and it won't even take that long
You can see it in my face even read it on my palmLeader 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'd be better if you don't

'CauseYou know everything gon' be all right, I promise
I apologize to you now, put y'all in this position [Incomprehensible]
40 Mama always say don't ask permission
Just ask forgiveness you know so uh, forgive me, yeah, yeahAnd life is so insane
Look what I became, tryna make a name
All my first dates are interrupted by my fame
Because every picture taken is a vantage you can gainThey love it when you smile
Unaware that it's a strain
It's a curse you gotta live with
When you're born to entertainWomen need attention therefore women will complain
Develop hatred for men and say you're the one to blame
Tryna enjoy myself with Terrence in Miami at the game
I just wish he knew how much it really weighed like DwayneIt's a weight that's on my chest who ever spottin' me is playin'
So I'm liftin' all alone, trynin' not to get a sprain
Hopin' Western Junior doin' currency exchange
'Cause my dad called, it got me feeling guilty and ashamedLike I had a Rolls and I went and got a range
And he payin' for his cigarettes
With some dollars and some change, damnAnd I can only feel his pain
'Cause in Memphis, Tennessee there is only so much to attain
So I'm fillin' out the form at the counter once again
He say he love me, I just hope he doesn't say that shit in vainI'm why your girls heart is in a slain call me Heartbreak Drake
I'm the hardest one to tame, as a man
I'm just honest as an artist, I'm a king
With my own set of problems that be sittin' on my brainYeah, and see this is the thang
What they viewin' as braggin' is the way that I maintain
The shit I write while starin' out the window of a plane
Is the single handed reason I remain me, yeahI said I call this shit the calm
But I'm the furthest thing from calm
That's why I'm putting on but they always wanna ask
What type of act you putting on, like damn

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
There are two artists with this name.

1. Aubrey “Drake” Graham (born October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Grammy award nominated Canadian actor, rapper and singer signed to Young Money/Universal Motown. Drake shot to global fame upon the release of his critically acclaimed 2009 mixtape So Far Gone and Best I Ever Had, a single from the mixtape which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Drake's music career began in 2006 with the release of his debut mixtape Room For Improvement. The tape featured collaborations with Trey Songz, Lupe Fiasco and Nikelus F and marked the beginning of a long-time partnership with Canadian producer boi-1da. The mixtape sold 6,000 physical copies in the year of its release.

Comeback Season, Drake's second official mixtape, was released in 2007 and featured the single Replacement Girl. The track featured vocals from Trey Songz and received heavy rotation on MTV and BET television networks. Robin Thicke, Clipse and Rich Boy featured on the mixtape, however it was Man of the Year - a track recorded with future mentor Lil Wayne - which signified the start of a close affiliation between Drake and Lil' Wayne's recording label Young Money Entertainment.

In 2009, Drake released his highly anticipated third mixtape So Far Gone to critical acclaim and commercial success. Its lead single, Best I Ever Had, peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since been certified double platinum by the RIAA. The success of the track lead to a highly publicised bidding war between several record labels to sign Drake. The rapper eventually signed a deal with Young Money Entertainment in the summer of 2009 and released an official EP version of the mixtape soon after; eventually receiving Gold status for shipments of 500,000 units.

This astronomical rise to success continued into 2010 with the release of his major label debut album Thank Me Later. After several setbacks from its original October 2009 release date, the album was released on June 15th 2010 preceded by lead single Over, which peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at #1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Album Chart and has since been certified Platinum by the RIAA for sales of approximately 1,100,000 copies in the US to date. It produced three further singles which attained chart success; Find Your Love, Miss Me (feat. Lil' Wayne) and Fancy (feat. T.I. & Swizz Beatz).

Drake plans to release a 4th official mixtape consisting entirely of R & B material in December 2010, before releasing his 2nd album in 2011.

2. Drake is a Polish sea shanty band founded in 2004.
