Lust For Life
Drake · So Far Gone [2009]
I'm tryin to do it all tonight, I got plans
I got a certain lust for life, and as it stands
Everything is going as right, as it can
They tryin to shoot down my flight, before it lands... before it lands
But you can miss me with all that
Diss me then crawl back
I really wish ya'll would fall back
But gettin rich suppose to solve that
And these days women make office and who the hell am I to say
(no, no, no)
My ex sendin late night text cause she don't know how to let (go, go, go)
She in love
And as for them pretty light skinned models
standin in the cold aw yea they with us
Let them girls in for a drink
And I'm all in they ear
Saying she should be the one I see, everytime, that I'm here
But when I'm not really even here
Black surburban with the tint on it
Fresher than a pillow with a mint on it
The game got these old hand prints on it
But I'm a be the one to pour cement on it
Uh, and start over
And show up in the mars yellin Tux
I don't really give a fuck and we're only getting older
So what I tend to do is think of today as the past
It's funny when you're coming in first
but you hope that you're last (you just hope that it lasts)
Throw your one's up in the air
Throw your one's up in the air for her
Throw your one's up in the air
Throw your one's up
I got a certain lust for life, and as it stands
Everything is going as right, as it can
They tryin to shoot down my flight, before it lands... before it lands
But you can miss me with all that
Diss me then crawl back
I really wish ya'll would fall back
But gettin rich suppose to solve that
And these days women make office and who the hell am I to say
(no, no, no)
My ex sendin late night text cause she don't know how to let (go, go, go)
She in love
And as for them pretty light skinned models
standin in the cold aw yea they with us
Let them girls in for a drink
And I'm all in they ear
Saying she should be the one I see, everytime, that I'm here
But when I'm not really even here
Black surburban with the tint on it
Fresher than a pillow with a mint on it

Throw your one's up in the air
Throw your one's up in the air for her
Throw your one's up in the air
Throw your one's up
Lust For Life
Drake's "Lust For Life" serves as a pivotal track on his 2009 debut album, *So Far Gone*. The song exemplifies his early transition from rapping to singing, showcasing a raw, emotive vocal style that defined his emerging sound. Produced with a minimalist approach, the recording captures the vulnerability and introspection characteristic of his first major release. It stands alongside other key singles from that era, such as "Headlines" and "Fancy," which helped establish Drake as a significant figure in contemporary hip-hop and R&B. The track remains a staple of his discography, reflecting the emotional depth and melodic sensibilities that would become hallmarks of his career.
