Light Up Lyrics » Drake
[Verse 1: Drake]
Uh, I’ve been up for four days, gettin’ money both ways
Dirty and clean,
I could use a glass of cold Spades
Rolexes, chauffers and low fades
I keep thinkin’, how young can you die from old age?
They always tell me: “Nobody’s workin’ as hard as you”
And even though I laugh it off, man, it’s probably true
‘Cause while all of my closest friends out partyin’
I’m just here makin’ all the music that they party to
But party on, party on all night, nigga
I got these new rappers nervous: prom night, nigga
I grow tired of these fuckin’ grown man liars
Storytellers, they ain’t even need a campfire
Uh, but I just want to tell the truth
Before one of these haters load a couple shells and shoot
The shit feel like when Fredro Starr
Was in Sunset Park stuntin’ hard in his yellow goose – yeah!
And I’m a motherfuckin’ missed target
But a target nonetheless, and I just started
Was that directed at moi? Can’t be
They must be talkin’ to themselves, Hov: hands free
Yeah, and I’m just fillin’ up this daily planner
Gettin’ busy ’cause I’m a star: no spangled banner
Jealous dudes get to talkin’ in they music
And I just say I wrote it for your girlfriends: Kelsey Grammer
Yeah, that’s what life becomes when you’re doin’ you
Welcome to Hollywood, don’t let this town ruin you
And if you pillow-talkin’ with the women that are screwin’ you
Just know that she gon’ tell another nigga
When she through with you
Don’t get impatient when it takes too long
Drink it all, even when it tastes too strong
Yeah, I got to feel alive, even if it kills me
Promise to always give you me, the real me

FAQs About Light Up
What did Drake say about “Light Up”?
According to
Songfacts
, Drake explained to
MTV News
:
It’s just me and
Jay
both rapping on it for an extended period of time,“ It’s real rap. I do sing on it, but it’s just on the hook – but it’s rap. It’s great. The perspective, the dynamic on the track – it’s me and Jay’s relationship on the song, basically. When you hear it, people will be like, ‘Oh man.’ That’s how we are – just the two. He definitely has guided me a lot, as far as his words and his advice. We have a real funny rapport. I always enjoy my conversations with Jay. It’s good.
He also developed the musical process:
When I heard that beat, the drums that they had come up with, it was like, ‘Man, this is a moment,’ “ he said. “This sounds like where I’m at in my life.‘ So, we took it and
40
did what he does to pieces of music that I see potential in – he took it to the next spot. Jay-Z’s on it. The song is phenomenal. It’s done now.
“Light Up” really came from, Jay had a busy year, obviously, with
The Blueprint 3
and the success of that and the tour. So we didn’t do it in the same room. But me and Jay have a lot of great conversations, man. So it would never just be like, ‘I’m gonna send you something, and we’re not gonna talk about it, and you send it back. We really talked about it.
And Jay’s joint on the album is so important on the album, because it’s another turning point. Whereas “Over” is a turning point for me, “Light Up,” I think it’s one of my favorite Jay verses. Jay not only gave me a great verse, but a life lesson. And I think he’s gonna give everybody a life lesson just about this business. It’s incredible.
