The verse is from another Kanye-produced track that actually won’t make the album, the beat is from Goapele’s (who’s with him in this performance) instant vintage single which he rapped over on Comeback Season.

bump closer today, still think jojo pell did his thing though
joe said this on May 13th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
I bet he wish he could remove that Lebron verse…I’m a big Drake fan, like the song, but does anyone else think he looks awkward or uncomfortable during live performances?

Please make your long stories shorter
Time is of the essence for the king of third quarter
Numbers do the talkin’ I have nothin’ for reporters
I just hope we make these flights and don’t get held up at the border
Yeah, and you can spare me all the accolades
I’m the reason you can find my city on the atlas page
Half a million dollars later and my taxes paid
And I’m still spending money from my actin’ days
I swear life is such a lovely thing
Feel the perks that a seven-figure budget bring
Tell your girlfriend that I will pull some fuckin’ strings
So we’re courtside when LeBron get a fuckin’ ring
Yeah, I bet I’ll be there, I’ll be there
You see that ’62 sittin’ outside, that’s me there
Leapin’ to the top, this my leap year, prepare
Puttin’ in that overtime I never said it’d be fair
I’m always left wishin’ that I coulda done it in person
My apologies to all of the ones I was hurtin’
I got new girls, but none of they love is for certain
I call old girls, but none of they numbers are workin’
Damn, what happened to us?
Life can always change, you have to adjust
How come when I gotta party you stare at me in disgust?
They pay us just to have fun, you should see that as a plus
Especially when I come flyin’ through the door
And kindly ignore, the paparazzi outside tryna record,
Why has every woman never dined here before?
Am I the only twenty-three-year-old wine connoisseur?
The Rothschilds, the Cruz, the Gaias and the Opuses
It’s always nice when you’re out with someone who notices
My condo got that art gallery openness
I’m just really hopin’ that that isn’t what your motive is
They ain’t rootin’ for me, they ain’t clappin’ for me
I’m only sayin’ can somebody just be happy for me?
I really hate to say I told you so
So I bite my tongue, but you know, you know
QT said this on May 13th, 2010 at 5:27 pm
thanks man, i wish he would really come out with this, but dont think it will happen
ItsBenAWhile said this on May 13th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Probably one of the better verses live that Drake’s spit so far.
Chew said this on May 13th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
Fucking incredible! Can’t wait for Thank Me Later! That beat he spit to is nice, Closer To My Dreams is one of the best songs on Comeback Season. I hope this is on the album. He performed something a while back that ended the same so this could be the 2nd verse to what I heard.
