[Chorus: Drake]
|
Emotions in this game run deep
|
So before these haters kill me in my sleep
|
- I'd like to say it's been a pleasure
|
Reppin 'til my last second through
|
Done a lot of shit they'll never get to do
|
- I'd like to say it's been a pleasure
|
Honored to be somebody they mention
|
But before these niggaz stop payin attention
|
- I'll just say it's been a pleasure
|
You'll never be somebody they need
|
Tomorrow ain't guaranteed, so tonight we gon' do it like this
|
[*singing*] Ohhhh, for the H-Town
|
Tonight I'm gon' make some money goooo
|
For the H-Towwwwwn
|

|
Ladies and gentlemen you're now listenin to the Dirty South trillionaire ('naire)
|
Keepin it trill in there, been here and he's still in there (there)
|
Pay attention, it's the beginnin of a new era (era)
|
Get a little closer you can see the view clearer (view clearer)
|
It's like Lasik but are basic
|
Ebonics if you're hooked on chronic and you can taste it
|
Trace it, recognize the real when ya face it
|
Ball up in the club gettin white boy wasted
|
One shot of PatrN?n, then another one to chase it
|
Put me to the test, I won't pass it I'll ace it
|
Been so many places, up and down the interstate
|
Cities that I've never been, wonderin if they fin' to hate
|
Step up in the spot, let 'em look me in the grill (grill)
|
So they can see it for theyself that I keep it trill (I keep it trill)
|
I paid the cost to be the boss and left a tip
|
So it's all good (good) don't even trip
|
Believe me it's been a pleasure
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Bun B]
|
Man I've been all over the world
|
tryin to tell 'em 'bout the trill and what we been through (through)
|
What we already done and what we fin' do (do)
|
What we got into, what we gettin into (to)
|
When ties 'bout to cut it closer than a ginsu ('su)
|
Roll through Atlanta, Birmingham, Alabama ('bama)
|
Jacksonville to Jackson, Mississippi spittin grammar (spittin grammar)
|
From Shreveport ('port) down to New Orleans ('leans)
|
And all points in between just to get the cream (cream)
|
Me and my "II Trill" team on the road flippin (flippin)
|
Eight hours straight, no stops, no trippin (trippin)
|
Had to keep them heaters on 'em so it's no slippin (slippin)
|
Promote a play with show money, we were slow grippin (slow grippin)
|
Sometimes we rock the stage and put it down (down)
|
Other times we had to fight and shoot it out of town (town)
|
But we always made it home okay
|
And we still on the road to this day
|
I gotta say it's been a pleasure
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Bun B]
|
They say that you never really know
|
what you got 'til it's gone and can't touch it (touch it)
|
If it look too good to be true, you can't trust it (trust it)
|
If you never had it (had it) then you can never miss it (miss it)
|
But looks can be deceivin, so don't you get it twisted (twisted)
|
Walked a lot of miles in these old school J's (J's)
|
Thought of many ways, lookin at back in the days (days)
|
Like how to climb from in between a rock, and a hard place
|
How to keep your cool when you're dealin with a hard case (with a hard case)
|
And how to duck, when the judge throw the book at you (the book at you)
|
And it's a two-sided mirror that you're lookin through (you're lookin through)
|
The phone receiver's in your hand starin at your child (child)
|
And your heart skips a beat every time they smile (smile)
|
See that's how real life is and how it can be (can be)
|
And how it's deeper then just comin down candy (candy)
|
So I'm just tryin to play the cards that they hand me
|
For those that overstood me, understand me
|
It's been a pleasure
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Drake]
|
I'd like to say it's been a pleasure
|
I'll just say it's been a pleasure [*echoes*]
