[Intro: Drake & Termanology]
Yesterday when we were getting high
You were invited, you would’a liked it
I-I- I know you all too well
I said that we could kiss the past goodbye
But you weren't excited (Termanology)
There's no way to fight it
You can stay but shawty, here I go (Uh)

[Verse 1: Termanology]
They call me one thing, but they treat me like another
I'm cheatin' but do I love her? Well more than any other
So it's personal to paint you this type of picture
When your wife is like your sister, seems you barely ever miss her
But another dude kiss her, you lose her, you wanna diss her
Wanna hit her, like you hope nobody do to your sister
Go figure, I ain't got a Misses
They say it's none of your bizz when them boys call her "Ms."
And her heart shattering 'cause life is like a battlefield
And y'all battlin' 'cause you got you a rapper deal
So I guess you start feelin' how those rappers feel
Raw dog, hope she go and get that mornin' after pill
But if she get knocked-up, you gon' have to pay her
Or your career gonna be pushin' up daffodils
Take care of your kid, go check your mistress
Hit the lab and record, go handle your business
What type of life is this? Too many different choices
Too many opinions, too many different voices
What am I afraid of? Just to say "love"?
I love you baby, but, this is what I'm made of
And Imma be me, 'cause I can't be no other
So I don't know if Aliyah's gettin' a little brother
But all I know is I already got one baby mother
And that's too much trouble, sorry, I can't love you

[Chorus]
What am I afraid of?
This is supposed to be what dreams are made of
But people I don't have the time to hang with
Always look at me and say the same shit
They say "You promised me you would never change"
Uh, uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh
"You promised me you would never change"
Uh, uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh

[Verse 2]
Uh, am I wrong for making light of my situation? Clap on
When 40 got some shit for me to snap on
Now that I'm on I don't really want to worry 'bout getting back on
I'm just trying to stay on, get my fucking buffet on
I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home
And I be acting like I don't know how to work a phone
But hit "re-dial", you'll see that I just called
Some chick I met at the mall that I barely know at all and
Plus, this woman that I messed with unprotected
Texted saying she wished she would’a kept it
The one that I'm laying next to just looked over and read it
Man, I couldn't tell you where the fuck my head is
I'm holding on by a thread
It's like I'm high right now, the guy right now
And you could tell by looking in my eyes right now
That nothing really comes as a surprise right now
'Cause we just having the time of our lives right now

[Chorus]
What am I afraid of?
This is supposed to be what dreams are made of
But people I don't have the time to hang with
Always look at me and say the same shit
They say "You promised me you would never change"
Uh, uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh
"You promised me you would never change"
Uh, uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh

[Verse 3]
I live by some advice this girl Lissa told me
The other day Lissa told me that she miss the old me
Which made me question when I went missing
And when I start treating my friends different
Maybe it was the fast paced switch up
Or the two guns in my face during the stick up
Maybe 'cause a girl I thought I trusted
Was who set the whole shit up
But in fact, I haven't seen them since they locked Big Rich up
I know
But same time I'm quick to forget
I'm 'bout to roll me up a blunt with my list of regrets
Burn it all, burn it all, I'm starting it fresh
'Cause half the time I got it right I probably guessed
Did I just trade free time for camera time?
Will I blow all of this money, baby, hammer time?
Yeah, I just need some closure
Ain't no turning back for me, I'm in it 'til it's over
