Aubrey Drake Graham, better known as Drake, is one of the realest mainstream rappers. Sure, we all have our own preferences and opinions, but there is no denying his talent. We all know Drake produces instrumentals with soft melodies and emotional lyrics. I know I am not the only who has thought that his lyrics are directed toward the victims of heartbreak. You know what, though? That statement is not entirely accurate. There are several times when Drake delivers lyrics that actually pertain to other aspects of our lives too.

On Oct. 24, 2015, Drake celebrated his 29th birthday. In honor of his birthday, here's a list of his realest lyrics. Happy Birthday, Drake!

1. "I'm trying to do better than good enough." - "The Resistance"

I understand you, Drake. I could not have said this better.

2. "I'm just doing me and you could never understand it." - "I'm Goin' In"

That is the beauty of being an individual. I have the ability to make my own decisions and perform actions that will benefit me. I am under no obligation to explain myself and my choices to anyone.

3. "We all got dreams and we all star reaching." - "Houstatlantavegas"

I'm human. I have dreams that I want to accomplish that may be similar to others, and I have some desire to make it to the top and be successful.

4. "Sometimes where you headed is too far, it's more about where you are." - "Greatness"

I don't know about you, but I know I have a tendency to focus on the future a lot. Often times, I forget that I have to just live in the moment.

5. "I got a small circle, I'm not with different crews." - "Right Above It"

No new friends! (Unless it's a networking opportunity. Networking is always a good thing.)

6. "And really, I think I like who I'm becoming." - "Crew Love"

I'm really starting to discover myself and figure out who I am.

7. "You don't have to prove shit to no one except yourself." - "Tuscan Leather"

This is self-explanatory.

8. "Don't ask permission, just ask forgiveness." - "The Calm"

I'm sure we've all heard the popular phrase "Better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission." I am passionate and driven enough to achieve what I want without the opinions of others stopping me.

9. "My actions been louder than my words." - "0 to 100/The Catch Up"

10. "Don't hit me up when it's good for you." - "Diamonds Dancing"

Don't do it. Please don't do it.

11. "The things I can't change are the reason you love me." - "Jungle"

Finding people to accept me despite all of my flaws has been one hell of an adventure. I have to admit that I've enjoyed the ride though.

12. "Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin' with no makeup on. That's when you're the prettiest, I hope that you don't take it wrong." - "Best I Ever Had"

Seriously. Who doesn't love this quote?

13. "I learned working with the negatives could make for better pictures." - "HYFR"

It sucks that life doesn't come with an instruction manual, but I've learned from my mistakes and am in the process of working toward a more positive future.

14. "When the last time you did something for the first time?" - "Own It"

This is more for the people around me. I love trying new things! Do you?

15. "Just another kid going through life so worried that I won't be accepted." - "Look What You've Done"

I know that other people's opinions do not define me, but at the same time, I don't want to be an outcast. I would prefer for people to like me.

16. "To make everybody happy I think I would need a clone." - "The Calm"

This is the ultimate struggle of putting other people's wants before my needs.

17. "Life can always change, you have to adjust." - "You Know, You Know"

I learned this the hard way.

18. "And understand that I'm not doing it the same. I'm doing it better." - "Pound Cake"

I'm with you on this one, Drake!

19. "It is what it is. Trust me you get what you give." - "Blessings"

I learned that there are no free handouts in life (except in college sometimes. College students live for free items, like pizza!) You have to work hard to achieve your expected outcome. On the other hand, karma is an actual thing. What goes around comes around... sometimes twice as hard.

20. "Why are we focused on things that don't even mean nothing?" - "My Side"

I am totally relating this to school.

21. "I'm really trying to make it more than what it is, cause everybody dies but not everybody lives." - "Moment 4 Life"

This is probably the best lyric Drake has. For me, this quote tells me to continue to be passionate and adventurous and seek all that life has to offer.

22. "You can't always have your way, sometimes it be like that." - "All Me"

Even though I tend to get my way most of the time, I do have to say that this quote is still accurate.

23. "I live for the nights that I can't remember, with the people that I won't forget." - "Show Me A Good Time"

Three cheers for amazing friends and even better memories!

24. "I been about you and I'm still about you." - "Mine"

Trust me, we have all been there. I didn't even have to mention a name and yet, you're still thinking of someone, aren't you? I know, me too.

25. "If I haven't passed you yet, watch me catch up now." - "0 to 100/The Catch Up"

Give me some time, just wait on it.

26. "Everybody talks and everybody listens, but somehow the truth just always comes up missing." - "Say What's Real"

For whatever reason, the truth is just never revealed.

27. "Don't assume because I don't respect assumptions." - "Connect"

I will respect someone a lot more for asking me questions, rather than making assumptions.

28. "When all is said and done, more is always said than done." - "Club Paradise"

This just reminds me of the cliché quote: "Actions speak louder than words." I have witnessed, on numerous occasions, people speaking about potential plans, but not putting together an action plan to make them come alive.

29. "Guess you lose some and win some. Long as the outcome is income." - "Over My Dead Body"

Hey, what can I say? We all know that money is the motive.
