Nothing Was The Same
Drake · Other Songs - Drake
But I hate what you've done
I know from here things will never be the same
And things will probably never change
I know what we want
Isn't exactly what god had planned
Hey it's all I can do is
Hope you can see the difference
And prey for the best
Please don't forget me!
I wont soothe your pain
I wont ease your strength
Drake:
I should let you fall in love with
Someone else girl
I live in L.A
You in Chicago
You're not patient
I'm not patient
We shouldn't be together
I think we shouldn't be together
No more no (no more no)
Just think I'm where it all beginning
You're the envy of your prince
Plus you know you're not yourself any more
The miracle of change
But if we got together it will never be the same like before girl
And I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry girl
(Yeah)
She said look me in my fucking eyes and say it
But tell me am I wrong for what I'm saying
Is it wrong for me to tell these women what they wanna hear
Try to control us
You wanna hold us down
Yeah you really wanna hold us down
Yeah you really wanna hold us
All I asked is for a chance to prove that money can't really make me happy
Crazy how I blew myself from fucked up predicaments
I mean women inspire me to great things
(Drake:?)
I need to grow some fucking confidence
And why you gotta say the last words
And if I tell you how I really felt
(There probably end up being another argument candy girl,
You know everything you thought of me came from yourself)
Yeah
And that shit starts to get old
And I don't mean to say the most
But you know how they say you are who you hang with?
SO IT BOTHERS ME WHEN YOU HANG WITH HOES
Drake:
Is it wrong for me to tell these women what they wanna hear
You know how they say
If you love somebody
That don't love you back
Love them anyway
Nothing Was The Same
Drake's 'Nothing Was The Same' stands as a pivotal moment in his discography, marking a decisive shift from his earlier R&B-influenced sound to a more aggressive, hip-hop-centric style. Released in 2013, the track serves as the lead single from his debut mixtape, which redefined his artistic identity and solidified his status as a dominant force in contemporary rap. The song's production features a minimalist beat that emphasizes Drake's vocal delivery and introspective lyrics, exploring themes of personal growth and the complexities of fame. It became a cultural touchstone, influencing a generation of artists to embrace vulnerability within the genre and setting the stage for his subsequent major-label success. The recording is widely regarded as a defining work of the mid-2010s era, bridging the gap between his early mixtape experiments and his polished studio albums.
