Lyric Analysis

covingtonmd1 — 2024-04-26 12:09:06 UTC

A Drake lyric that I find inspirational is from his song Thank Me Now. "Know life is just a game in which the cards are facing down. I'm in the world where things are taken,never given how long they choose to love you will never be your decision." I find this inspirational in a sense of doing things for yourself not for others because things can be temporary and people will take advantage if you let them.

Another quote from a Drake Song I find to be Inspirational is "I like when money makes a difference but don't make you different." From his song From Time ft. Jhene Aiko. I think this quotes means that things are bigger than money you can make a difference with money but it's always important to be humble and helpful not greedy and arrogant.

How Drake has inspired me

I find Drake to be inspirational because he's in a lane of his own. He doesn't conform to one label. He's himself. Especially musically he has many different types of songs. Also even with all his success he seems to remain humble in his interviews.
