Somewhere between psychotic and iconic
Somewhere between I want it and I got it
Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifted
Somewhere between a mistress and commitment
But I stay down, girl, I always stay down
Get down, never lay down
Promise to break everybody off before I break down
Everyone just wait now
So much on my plate now
People I believed in, they don't even show their face now
What they got to say now?
Nothing they can say now
Nothing really changed, but still they look at me a way now
What more can I say now?
What more can I say now?
You might feel like nothing was the same
I still been drinking on the low
Mobbing on the low
Fucking on the low
Smoking on the low
I still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect like everyone I know
I just been drinking on the low
Mobbing on the low
Fucking on the low
Smoking on the low
I just been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect, like everyone I know
And I hate that you don't think that I belong to ya
Just too busy running shit to run home to you
You know that paper my passion
Bittersweet celebrations, I know I can't change what happened
I can't help it, I can't help it
I was young and I was selfish
I made every woman feel like she was mine and no one else's
Now you hate me, stop pretending
Stop that fronting, I can't take it
Girl, don't treat me like a stranger
Girl, you know I seen ya naked
Girl, you know that I remember, don't be a pretender
Getting high at the condo, that's when it all comes together
You know I stay reminiscing and make-up sex is tradition
But you've been missing girl, and you might feel like nothing was the same
I still been drinking on the low
Mobbing on the low
Fucking on the low
Smoking on the low
I still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect, like everyone I know
I just been drinking on the low
Mobbing on the low
Fucking on the low
Smoking on the low
I just been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect, like everyone I know
Drinking, smoking, fucking, plotting, scheming
Plotting, scheming, getting money
Drinking, smoking, fucking, plotting, scheming
Plotting, scheming, getting money
Uh
This the life for me
My mama told me this was right for me
I got 'em worried like make sure you save a slice for me
I should have spoons serve you up with a fork and knife for me
The actions make us doubt you
Your lack of effort got me rapping different
This the shit I wanna go out to
Play this shit at my funeral if they catch me slipping
Naked women swimming that's just how I'm living
Donate a million to some children that's just how I'm feeling
A nigga filling up arenas, who the fuck can see us?
I had to Derrick Rose the knee up 'fore I got the re-up
Yours truly, the boy
I just build and build more, y'all niggas build and destroy
Y'all niggas party too much man, I just chill and record
No filler, you feel it now if you ain't feel it before
Yes Lord
This the shit I wanna go out to
Yeah, yeah
This the shit I wanna go out to
Drinking, smoking, fucking, plotting, scheming
Plotting, scheming, getting money
Drinking
About This Song
"Furthest Thing" is a deeply introspective meditation on the psychological toll of fame and the isolation that comes with rapid success. The song captures Drake's internal conflict as he grapples with the contradictions of his elevated status-caught between wanting and having, between sobriety and intoxication, between fleeting relationships and genuine commitment. The lyrics reveal a profound sense of betrayal and loneliness, as people he once trusted have disappeared from his life, leaving him questioning the authenticity of his relationships and his own identity. Musically, the track features a haunting, minimalist production with atmospheric synths and sparse drums that create an almost ethereal soundscape, perfectly complementing the vulnerable, stream-of-consciousness delivery. Drake's vocal performance alternates between singing and rapping, embodying the emotional limbo he describes lyrically-never fully settled in either mode, much like his state of mind. The song's title itself reflects this theme of distance and disconnection, as success has ironically made meaningful human connection feel like "the furthest thing" from his reality. This track resonated with listeners because it articulated the often-unspoken dark side of achievement, showing how external success can lead to internal emptiness and the painful realization that climbing higher can mean falling further away from authentic human connection.
