Drake's new album has gotten some criticism, but there's no denying that there are some impactful, lasting and memorable lyrics (as there always seems to be). Here are just a few of my favorites that I feel almost anyone can relate to.
1. "Keep The Family Close"
"How do you not check on me when things go wrong? / Guess I should've tried to keep my family closer / Much closer."Letting people who take advantage of your niceness consumes your thoughts and makes you forget what is most important in life.
"If I ever loved ya, I'll always love ya, that's how I was raised." Same, Drake, same.
2. "9"
"Time got a funny way of tickin' / things are so much different." As much as we would like to stop time sometimes, we know we can't and things are going to change indefinitely as a result.
3. "Feel No Ways"
"I had to let go of us to show myself what I could do / And that just didn't sit right with you." Sometimes we all need to be selfish, and that's okay.
4. "Hype"
"You try to give 'em your side of the story / They heard it, but they wasn't listening." People will believe what they want of a story about you, no matter what you say.
5. "Weston Road Flows"
"Used to have secret handshakes to confirm my friendships / Nowadays they just shakin' my hand to hide the tension." Not every friend you have now will be your friend in the future.
6. "Redemption"
"I know you seein' someone who loves you / And I don't want you to see no one else." Even though you may still have feelings for an ex, if you truly cared for them, their current happiness is more important.
"I miss the feeling of you missing me." Pretty self-explanatory.
"Not havin' closure, it take a lot out of me." If there's no closure, you're always thinking of the what if's and everyone knows that gets absolutely exhausting.
"You tip the scale when I weigh my options." One person can influence your decision making more than you'd like to admit.
7. Faithful
"You just tryna be somebody, / 'fore you say you need somebody." You need to know, establish and love yourself before you can start a relationship and eventually be dependent on another person again.
