Fair Trade Lyrics:
(Intro)
I don't understand why you blame meTake me as I am, it's the same meYeahSenseless sight to seeYeahSenseless sight to seeAyy
(Drake)
Feelin' young but they treat me like the OGAnd they want the tea on me, I swear these bitches nosySaid he put some money on my head, I guess we gon' seeI won't put no money on his head, my niggas owe meI gotta be single for a while, you can't control meUno, dos, tres, in a race, they can't hold meAnd I show my face in a case so you know it's meImitation isn't flattery, it's just annoyin' meAnd I'm too about itAnd the dirt that they threw on my nameTurned to soil and I grew up out itTime for y'all to figure out what y'all gon' do about it
Big wheels keep rollin', rollin'
I'm outside, 29, G5, seasideI been losin' friends and findin' peaceBut honestly, that sound like a fair trade to meIf I ever heard one and I'm still hereOutside, frontline, SouthsideI've been losin' friends and findin' peaceHonestly, that sound like a fair trade to me
Look, don't invite me over if you throw another pity partyLookin' back, it's hard to tell you where I startedI don't know who love me, but I know that it ain't everybody
I can never love her, she a busy bodyBaby, if you want me, can't be turnin' up with everybody, nahCan't be fuckin' on just anybody, yeahI got feelings for you, that's the thing about it, yeahYou know that, it's somethin' when I sing about it, yeah
Momma used to be on disability but gave this abilityAnd now she walkin' with her head high and her back straight
I don't think you feelin', I'm out hereBein' everything they said I wouldn't be and couldn't beI don't know what happened to them guys that said they would beI still see you at the top and they misunderstood meI hold no resentment in my heart, that's that maturityAnd we don't keep on us anymore, it's with security
I'm outside (yeah), 29 (yeah), G5, seasideI've been losin' friends and findin' peaceBut honestly, that sound like a fair trade to meIf I ever heard one and I'm still hereOutside, frontline, Southside (Southside)I've been losin' friends and findin' peaceHonestly, that sound like a fair trade to me
(Interlude)
I don't understand why you blame meTake me as I am, it's the same me (I'm trying)Senseless sight to see
Senseless sight to see (Outside)
(Travis Scott)
Rollin' in a Rolls and ain't no safteyRidin', engine revvin'Gotta roll over to you gotta get my releaseSpread your legs downtown as I'm going out to eatYou can hear the raw sounds when it rock up in your sleepI'ma roll on her 'fore I let her roll on meSplit this one down the middle, wake up in a harmony (sick)
Worried sick, I'm sick of worryin' (sick, sick)It's just a worryin', I'd rather bury themI'm talkin' fake friends and skeletons (yeah)
Early morning, shoulder rubs and lawyer signed the settlementI'm never settling this shit get darker then my melaninAt the crib all by myself, this shit been cavin' inScrolling through my call log by emojis how I'm saving 'em
Del Mar as the beach where my hoe was but I favorite themThat butterfly emoji hold me down and all my babies dem
Backwood in your face, won't push away, he got the K on himI broke bread instead of watchin' niggas break down (break it)They sent a couple bitches too like I'm from Cape TownKnow they position, you know ass up with the face down (let's go)
I'm never content, two mil' an event, I get it frequentI'm make an expense, to me it's just senseI'm droppin' the top, no tint for the whip
I'm dropping the top 'cause bro tried to spinShe dropping the top she back againFuck her 'cause she at the crib again, company
I let it slide when I really should slidAfter all the shit I didLook at how they repaying me backNow fall out my realTell me what kind of payment is that?I put that on my kid and my trustYeah, it is what it is
(Drake)
I'm outside, 29, G5, (ah-ah-ah), seasideI been losing friends and finding peaceBut honestly that sounds like a fair trade to meIf I ever heard one then I'm still hereOutside, front line, SouthsideI been losing friends and finding peaceHonestly, that sounds like a fair trade to me
(Outro)
I don't understand why you blame meTake me as I am, it's the same meSenseless sight to seeSenseless sight to see
Up on a mountain (up on a mountain)Search through the valley (search through the valley)You hear me calling (you hear me calling)Won't you come find me? (Won't you come find me?)Please don't forsake me (please don't forsake me)All of a sudden (all of a sudden)My heart is breaking (breaking)I feel it coming, I, I
What Does Drake's song "Fair Trade" Mean?
Drake has been in the game for a while now and is a true veteran of the hip-hop genre.
He would be fifteen years into his career when this song was released.
This was related at the time Over The Top by Drake was put out.
That's a crap ton of years!
Over the years, he has thought about becoming a veteran.
Although Aubrey, a Toronto native and celebrity, is renowned for not letting paparazzi and media worry him too much...
He has been a victim of excessive attention in the past.
Numerous other rappers have "thrown dirt" at Drake during his career, either by speaking negatively about him or engaging in other negative publicity stunts.
When Drake talks about "losing friends," he means he's eliminating the toxic individuals from his life and finding solace as a consequence.
All along, this has been Drake's guiding philosophy.
The song really highlights these themes, and does it best!
Drake's self-aggrandizing tone continues as he differentiates himself from his contemporaries and explains why he is "at the top" in terms of accomplishment.
Song Sampled in Fair Trade
Drake's song Fair Trade samples the track "Mountains," a song by Canadian R&B singer Charlotte Day Wilson. You can hear this in the chorus.
The original track was scheduled for release in September 2019.
Of note, Wilson is the cousin of OVO's founder, Oliver El-Khatib.
This sampling makes perfect sense if you think about it.
OVO and Canada in general are known for keeping their culture alive.... Especially on a global scale.
If Drake is able to use a Canadian singer's sample then you know damn well he will!
