[Intro]

Yeah

I saw a dog the other day

It was cute

It went

Woo

[Verse 1]

Day one

Just heard Views for the first time

Drake’s on top of the game

Looking down with a bird’s eye

Most of the lines on the album

On that shit that can nod heads

Except for a couple lines on the second track

That I didn’t really process

Drake said turn the six upside down

It’s a nine now

Didn’t get what he meant

Only one way to find out

I get a pen and a pad

And I write down a six

Flip the page

And it turns out

Upside down six look just like a nine

I’m like, wow

[Verse 2]

Day two

Woke up with my feet on the pillow

I must’ve slept upside down

Like a weirdo

Brush my teeth in the morning

Take care of the pearly whites

But I turn the brush upside down

It ain’t working right

I cycle into work cause it

Hurts the environment to drive around

But I turn my bike upside down

Can’t ride it now

Photo of my hot wife

And my eight year old daughter Cara

On the ‘frigerator

I turn the pic upside down

And I figured I would fix it later

[Verse 3]

Day four

Wife said

Ever since you heard that Drake track

You been turning turning shit upside down

You explain that

My wife’s eating breakfast

Got herself a bowl of Corn Chex out

I turn the bowl upside down

It’s a mess now

Babe, what did you do that for

Sorry, my arm just sort of did that

I don’t really know how

Oh really, you lying to me

I turn the table upside down

And it’s broke now

Holy shit Brandon, you’re scaring me

Listen babe, I didn’t mean to do it

I really can’t control it

Well I’ve had about enough of it

I turn my wife upside down

Holy shit I think she’s hurt

Someone call an ambulance or something

[Verse 4]

Day seven

Wife testify in court

With a neck brace and bandaging

She said

Brandon’s been turning things upside down

And it’s damaging our family

Prosecutors says they’re gonna

Call to the stand another witness

They bring my daughter to the podium

Turn my own flesh and blood against me

I can’t believe they did this

They said

Cara, the grownups are making a decision

So I need you to be honest

Did your daddy turn your mommy upside down

She nodded

I stand up and yell

Cara, you know I would never

Mean to hurt your mother

They sentence me to psychiatric surveillance

Until I can recover

[Verse 5]

Day I-don’t-have-a-calendar-so-I’mma-guess-eleven

That’s an estimate

I kinda lost track though

I turned my world upside down

No expression

I been locked up in a straight jacket

Rotting in the psych ward

My wife and my daughter

Haven’t come to visit

I got nothing left to fight for

I obliterated everything I love

I think I’m in hell

Must’ve turned the seven upside down

Cause I took a L

Wait a minute

On the subject of numbers I think

A breakthrough revelation just came now

I turn the eight upside down

It’s an eight still

It’s a eight still

[Verse 6]

Day one

Full recovery

Been released

Out running free

Been through the cruelest of plights

I made it through the night

Now I can finally resume my life

With my beautiful wife

And my daughter Cara

I’mma weep when I see her

Moment of reconnection

Quickly getting nearer

I ring the doorbell

And the big surprise

The door is opened by

A woman I don’t recognize

When she look at me

She looking mad

But when I look into her eyes

She got me feeling nostalgic

In a way that I never had

The woman spoke up

Dad

My eyes started flowing water

I didn’t recognize my own daughter

She’s all grown up

I must’ve been locked up

Much longer than I thought I was

My baby Cara

I wanted to hold her

But she drew back

And she lost her composure

After everything you’ve done

And as long as you’ve been gone

You think you can just

Show up like this

How long have I been gone, Cara

You don’t know

I don’t know

As she answers

Her eyes begin shedding tears

It’s been eleven years

Where’s your mother

There’s something that she must hear

You missed her by a couple years

Mom had an agonizing rough time

Raising me all by herself

While daddy wasn’t here

She was drinking and smoking

Behind the wheel ‘cause she was stressed out

Her car flipped upside down

And she dead now

We fell into each other’s arms

I feel the guilty responsibility

For all my daughters losses

And it kills me asking for

Forgiveness that I don’t deserve

Cara, this is what I’ve learned

Trying not to turn things upside down

Was extremely hard

Till I thought about the number eight

And I realized turning things upside down

Doesn’t change what they really are

Cara leads me back to the kitchen

And shows me a miraculous image

The upside down photo of my hot wife

And my eight year old daughter Cara

On the ‘frigerator

Still there after all these years

My wife looks back as a bawl these tears

I turn the pic rightside up

And I know that I still can save her

[Verse 7]

Eight years later

Cara’s graduating from college

She gon’ be a psychiatrist

After gaining her doctorate

And now she’s got a family all her own

I’m unfathomably proud of

How much she’s grown

She hasn’t had a reason to cry

For a while now

I turned her frown upside down

It’s a smile now

My demons keep me company

But knowing that I’m wiser now

Comforts me

I’ve learned so much from my suffering

And here’s the lesson that I take from that

Literally fuck that Drake track
