[Intro]
(Southern Smoke)
What's goin' on? This is ya boy, Drake
Frequently referred to as the new version of Fresh Prince
And right now, you in the mix with the number one DJ in the South
DJ Smallz, man, yo, put ya lighters up
It's Southern Smoke, baby (Southern Smoke)
[Verse 1]
This the record that my backpack underground fans get to skippin'
Back back, Southern town, get to tippin'
Chasin' fat stacks, runnin' down grands and submission
I don't backtrack, every single sound for me different
I don't own no ice, I just got clean rap
I don't ever two-step, I just rock, lean, snap
We could take it out to Houston, where the rides all glossed up
Anybody I'm standin' besides all bossed up
Burglar-minded, they say I'm servin' them rhymers
And me and Nickel F. go together like burgers and diners, yes
I'm like a waiter, if you somethin' like a hater
With trays in both hands, place an order, I can cater, uh
I got the diamonds in my teeth flow, Memphis is the reason that my rhymin' and my speech slow
Peep though, when I get fed up, it's sped up, ridin' through the streets, just reclinin' in my seat, hoe
Uh, them city lights is lookin' brighter, it's three AM in the morning and the pen is like a lighter
I'm just a writer flamin' pages of a notebook, my Rachel McAdams get at 'em when I ignite her (Haha!)
Yup, soon as a couple plan a trip, you smell gasoline I be burnin' all up and down the strip, strip
I done said it, I give you the unleaded, just tip me, if ya tank is empty, come get me
[Chorus]
Yo, the city is mine (Which one?), T-O-R-O-N-T-O
D-R-A-K-E, that's me, you know how the story go
Pull up, Range Rove', yo' chick, wanna roll
And I play myself in the stereo and I make 'em wanna
Shake it, shake it, drop it, drop it, bounce it, bounce it, wop it, wop it
Girl, move that thang, like you gettin' money for college, go!
Shake it, shake it, drop it, drop it, bounce it, bounce it, wop it, wop it
Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college
[Post-Chorus]
(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down
(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down
(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down
(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down, break it down
[Verse 2]
Break it down like you working for your tuition at Howard
Momma, get it how you live, that thang that you working is power
Tryna be generous, so honey, here's a tip
Nowadays, it's gettin' cheaper to put twenties on the whip
So if you a opportunist look for twenties in the clip
And if you find 'em attractive and funny, that's when you dip, dip
And it's a trip, my city broke into sections
Up North I got me a couple of troubles, couple connections
And it's nothing that I created on purpose
There's people that gotta problem, but they scared to let it surface, uh
And boy say this, that, and the third to 'em
See me out, and they never utter a word to 'em
Expect me not to draw a card from the deck, anybody in my city going hard, I respect, but-
You got a debt and you choose not to pay that, I'ma hop ya fence, come into ya yard and collect, 'lect, uh
It's not a problem or concern, bruh, I always end up with exactly what I earn, bruh
This ain't last year, money like a cashier, so have ya receipt if you tryna make a return, bruh
Yes sir, I live in a city where a lot of people don't get shine, shine
And, I be on my defense as soon as anybody stepping out of line, line
And I got way too much love, for the city I can never get too much of
And if anybody hatin' on me, I deport 'em, the city is mine boy
[Chorus]
Yo, the city is mine (Which one?), T-O-R-O-N-T-O
D-R-A-K-E, that's me, you know how the story go
Pull up, Range Rove', yo' chick, wanna roll
And I play myself in the stereo and I make 'em wanna
Shake it, shake it, drop it, drop it, bounce it, bounce it, wop it, wop it
Girl, move that thang, like you gettin' money for college, go!
Shake it, shake it, drop it, drop it, bounce it, bounce it, wop it, wop it
Girl, move that thang like you gettin' money for college
[Post-Chorus]
(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down
(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down
(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down
(After that) Break it down, uh, break it, break it down, break it down
