This acknowledges that there are times when he's not taken seriously in the rap world, and well, it's understandable why. However, Drake's most telling lines are seen in the final verse when he remarks, They think I had the silver spoon but they'll get it soonI still got something left to prove since you left me room So like, no pressure for any of you who are looking to seduce the rap monolith. He further asserts that he's a baller (so to speak) by talking about the triumphs of his love life: My exes made some of my favorite musicI dated women from my favorite movies He has high-end cars like he's Toronto's version of Bruce Wayne.

The good news is that for the ounce of insecurity he has, Drake is backed up by the reality of his success. At the same time, these days there are things that occasionally shake his faith, and he has to reconcile with that. And even though it bummed out his mom, and Drake eventually got his high school diploma, he maintained the belief that he was going to be a success, and clearly that belief fueled him. I dropped out right before I graduateSix credits left, my mama had a saddest day"It's only up from here, I promise, you just gotta wait"And she took my word for it, that's all I had to sayLately I just feel so out of characterThe paranoia can start to turn into arroganceThoughts too deep to go work 'em out with a therapistĮven though Wheelchair Jimmy milked his tenure at Degrassi, Drizzy bailed on high school early. This includes pains from the bottom and, you know, doubts in the middle. That said, "Views" also documents Drake's struggles and insecurities. In any case, let’s take a deeper look into the lyrics to see where he’s coming from these days. You hear it and there’s a bizarre sense of pride over how far Drake has come in the past few years, because Lord knows there was a day when the idea of Aubrey Graham being a rapper was a hilarious novel idea. Maybe I should elaborate: “Views” doesn’t simply document his journey to fame, it touches upon how he’s reconciling with it, how he embraces it and how he fights against negativity. So, incidentally, when you listen to the titular track you’ll hear that “Views” documents Drake’s journey to fame.Īnd la la la, we all know and heard that story before, you’d think it wasn’t a worthwhile topic to revisit for the main track. But the other theory is that Drake dropped “The 6,” which refers to his hometown of Toronto, because he wants to showcase his growth, focus less on the bottom and more on the here. Why? IDK, maybe Drake was just going for something a bit more concise. While we’re all rejoicing that Drake’s new album Views dropped Friday, we’re still baffled by the Wednesday bombshell that he had changed his album title from Views From The 6.
