The Resistance Lyrics

[Intro]
Yesterday when we were getting high
You were invited, you woulda liked it
Uh uh nah, I know you all too well
We said that we can kiss the past goodbye
But your weren�t excited
There�s no way to fight it
You can stay shawty but here I go

[Drake - Verse 1]
Should I spend the weekend in Vegas
I�m living inside the moment not taking pictures to save it
I mean how could I forget
My memories never faded I can�t relate to these haters
My enemies never made it
I am� still here with who I started with
The game needed life, I put my heart in it
I blew myself up, I�m on some martyr shit
Carried the weight for my city like a cargo ship
Yeah, I�m 23 with a money tree
Growing more too, I just planted 100 seeds
It�s ironic cause my mother was a florist and thats how she met my pops
And now my garden is enormous
Its happening Penny Lane
Just like you said I avoided the Coke game and went with Sprite instead
Uh ahh, thats word to the millions that they putting up
I�m trying to do better than good enough!

[Chorus]
What am I afraid of
This is supposed to be what dreams are made of
The people I don�t have time to hang with
Always look at me and say the same shit

You promised me you would never change
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh

You promised me you would never change
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh

[Drake - Verse 2]

Am I wrong for making light of my situation
Clap on when 40 got something for me to snap on
Now that I�m on I dont want to worry about getting back on
I�m just trying to stay on
Get my fucking buffett on
I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home
And I�ll be acting like I don�t know how to work a phone
But hit redial you�ll see that I just called some chick I met at the mall
That I barely know at all and
Plus this women that I mess with unprotected
Text her saying she wish she woulda kept it
The one that I�m laying next to just looked over and read it
Man I couldn�t tell you where the fuck my head is
I�m holding on by a thread its like I�m high right now
The guy right now and you can tell by looking at my eyes right now
That nothing really comes as a surprise right now
Cause we just having the time of our lives right now

[Chorus]
What am I afraid of
This is supposed to be what dreams are made of
The people I don�t have time to hang with
Always look at me and say the same shit

You promised me you would never change
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh

You promised me you would never change
Oh, huh huh
Oh, huh huh

[Drake - Verse 3]
I live by some advice this girl Lissa told me
The other day Lissa told me she missed the old me
Which made me question when I went missing
And when I start treating my friends different
Maybe it was the fast pace switch up or the 2 guns in my face during the stick up
Maybe cause the girl I thought I trusted was who set the whole shit up
But a fact I haven't seen �em since they locked big Rich up
I know, the same time, I�m quick to forget
Bout to roll me a blunt with my list of regrets
Burn it al burn it all, I�m starting it fresh
Cause half the time I got it right I probably guessed
Did I just trade free time for camera time
Will I blow all of this money baby, hammertime
Yeah, I just need some closure, aint no turning back for me
I�m in it till it�s over

He's saying that he's going for his dreams, and he was hoping that she would go along with him. "We said that we could kiss the past goodbye, but you were'nt excited." He said that we could just forget everything that happen in the past and just look towards the future. Make new memories, but she wasnt excited about that. He was pursuing his dreams and he was allowing her to come with him, but she wanted that normal life, thathe couldnt and didnt want to, give.

Okay so I'm thinking this song is about fame changing his life. First stanza is basicly him talking about how life is going and where he stands - Generally just giving you his point of view. In the second stanza he's sorta questioning himself in the first line 'Am I wrong for making light of my situation...' is he wrong for choosing this life.? Is he wrong for finally chasing his dreams.? In a response to whoever he's talking about in the chorus (Friends and family maybe).The whole thing about his grandma is him showing how fucked up his priorities are right now and he knows but in a wayhe doesnt care because he's just focused on having fun right now. Third stanza he's realizing that 'Yeah maybe I have changed alittle' But he's justifying it by talking about how a friend of his set him up (Some girl set him up and got his chain stole by some guys that bitch) lol. And with the whole blunt thing he's saying fuck the past, he's starting over.
