Days in the East Songtext
von Drake

Yeah, why you keep askin′ me about her?
She's not here right now, she′s not here right now
Why am I the one you wanna get into with for the drama
I got a lot to say, and that's the last thing a nigga wanna hear right now

Spendin' all my days on the Eastside, oh
Forgettin′ who I was on the other side, oh
Young nigga switchin′ up the program right now
Tryna put the power in my own hands right now
I'm about to ride through the old hood right now
Got too much pride for my own good right now
Waitin′ on you to give in and hit me up
So I could fall through like old times and hit it up

I'm terrible at inviting myself, call me over
Those nights when you need someone else call me over
You can be the one to take control call me over
When I get there, you already know, call me


Why you keep askin′ me about her?
Couple of other things I'd rather do than talk about that right now
Told you about giving him chances on chances on chances
He′s not holding you down, he's holding you back right now

Spendin' all my days on the Eastside, oh
Forgettin′ who I was on the other side, oh
Young nigga switchin′ up the program right now
Tryna put the power in my own hands right now
Love it when your ass speak the truth to me, oh
Tryna wake up and have you with me, oh
Waitin' on you to give in and hit me up
So I could fall through like old times and hit it up

I′m terrible at inviting myself, call me over
Those nights when you need someone else call me over
You can be the one to take control call me over
When I get there, you already know, call me

Yeah, ayy
Yeah (I threw my hands in the air and said show me something), ayy

Remember one night I went to Erykah Badou house
She made tea for me
We talked about love and what life can really be for me
She said, "When that shit is real, you just know"
And I was thinking about you, you already know


Yeah, the other night Chubbs showed up at my house
He had weed for me, that's my nigga ′til we gone
Keep his ear to the streets for me
Said the city stress him out on the low
I said, "I feel you, nigga, I already know"
Yeah, already

Girls talkin' ′bout, "You gotta leave already?"
Damn, my lil' nephew turned four already
Gave you a little help, you need more already
Damn, you need more already?
'Fore you said, "You′re mine," I was yours already
22, had the Bentley four-door already
Even as a boy, I was the boy already
So you know that mean the pussy galore already

Mention other girls, you get insecure already
That was in the past, I matured already
Fuck them hoes, you got the award already
You go to Chanel and get the rewards already
Know I do this shit for Third Ward already
Know I do this shit for H-Town already
Already, already
Yeah

Back up in this thing, it′s a go
Had a couple niggas out of pocket, now they know
Ain't the first time ′cause I've lost you before
Had to get it back, had to get it back
Had to pull it back because I know I′m on the road
Had to take you back because I know you're down to roll
If you can get it from me, you can have it, now you know

All your friends asking where you stand with the boy
FaceTime saying you got plans for the boy
Studying your body, that′s exams for the boy
Take a flight here, pop a Xan for your boy
Waking up in Amsterdam with the boy
Long flight home, 'nother Xan for your boy

You would probably fly out to Japan for the boy
You would probably kill another man for the boy
You would probably
You would probably lie about it on the stand for your boy
Put the Bible to your right hand for the boy
That's why you ain′t never got to worry ′bout the boy
You know you got
You know you got that really good insurance on the boy
You just gotta pack a bag and hurry to the boy, yeah
Why? Fring
