If you are anything like me, your commute to school has been amplified by Drake’s newest playlist ‘More Life.’ The playlist came out March 18th and consists of 22 tracks that are meant to act as, “a collection of songs that become the soundtrack to your life.” With the dance hall vibes you will be jamming out no matter where you listen to this album. There is no wonder it reached the highest total of 61.3 million streams on Spotify in a single day!
As I listened to this playlist, I could not help getting hit with all the feels ‘More Life’ has to offer. With the semester more than halfway through and all the chaos in the world, we could all use a little wisdom from the man who started from the bottom, and is now here.
The following is a compilation of quotes from Drizzy Drake’s new album that can be used for a multitude of things: subbing your ex, IG captions, motivational advice, texts to definitely NOT send your ex, etc.
P.S. Drake, can you fix your side chicks 5S screen already?!
1. Free Smoke:
“Women I like was ignorin’ me. Now they like, ‘Aren’t you adorable?’ I know the question rhetorical.”
Just a friendly reminder that people are into material things and how much cash flow you have. But honestly, who could ignore Drake? I’m with him since his Degrassi days in a wheel chair.
“I wanna move to Dubai. So I don’t never have to kick it with none of you guys.”
Instead of moving to Canada after the results of the election, move to Dubai with Drake.
2. No Long Talk ft. Giggs:
“Textbook, like it’s old school, like in textiles.”
I am exemplary, therefore you should follow my lead. I am a walking textbook. And if someone says otherwise, to quote Donald Trump, “WROONNGG.”
3. Passionfruit:
“Passionate from miles away. Passive with the things you say. Passin’ up on my old ways.”
If I had to choose a selfie caption, this would be it.
“Don’t pick up the pieces, just leave it for now. They keep fallin’ apart.”
Some relationships are too toxic to try to fix. Sigh.
4. Jorja Interlude:
“When you see them fall down but you pick ’em up. You still let them touch the ground. Don’t worry, I swear. They’ll know you’re trying to help ’em.”
Sometimes you have to make mistakes for yourself to learn the consequences and there is nothing you can do to convince your friend to not do the thing that is going to only hurt them in the end. Deep.
“They turn they back and they leave you. They gon’ be back when they need you.”
Don’t let anyone butter you up when they want something from you and then leave you high and dry. You are better than that. Drake thinks so too.
5. Get It Together ft. Black Coffee, Jorja Smith:
“You need me to get that shit together. So we can get together.”
Point blank. Simple. This low key says: Get over your waste-man of an ex and date me already. C’mon.
6. Madiba Riddim:
“My heart is way too frozen to get broken.”
HA. HA. You can’t hurt my feeling if they don’t exist! Jokes on you, Elsa.
“I cannot tell who is my friend. I need distance between me and them. Gonna have to teach me how to love you again.”
This is why “no new friends” should have been stuck to, you were warned.
7. Blem:
“Cause I know what I like. I know how I wanna live my life. I don’t need no advice. You’re not here and we both know why.”
I’m going to worry about me and just forget about you, thank you.
“Im blem for real, I might just say how I feel.”
Tell like it is. Practice your rights of free speech!
8. 4422 ft. Sampha:
“I’m runnin’, but can’t run away.”
This is like one of those terrible nightmares when you know you are supposed to run from the Demogorgon chasing you, but your legs feel like they weigh as much as a ton of bricks. There is no escaping reality.
“I know I fear trust. I know I fear fear too much.”
The first step is admitting you have a problem.
9. Gyalchester:
“They want me gone, out of the picture. Bury me now and I only get bigger.”
Try to bring me down, and watch I will still be coming out strong.
10. Skepta Interlude:
“Go against me, that’s a tough decision… Keep your eyes on me with your jealousy.”
See how being on my bad side works out for you. You only hate me ’cause you ain’t me.
11. Portland ft. Quavo, Travis Scott:
“Yeah, my side girl got a 5S with the screen cracked. Still hit me back right away, better not never hesitate.”
If Drake’s side chick can text him back in seconds with a broken 5S screen, you can at least send a text back. No excuses. I saw you were on Facebook!
12. Sacrifices ft. 2 Chainz, Young Thug:
“It’s a marathon, not a sprint, but I still gotta win the race.”
Because if you are not first, you are last.
13. Nothings Into Somethings:
“Ask about that, you would say it was nothing. But here’s another nothing that you made into something. Can’t just leave it off that way.”
How could someone just deny the fact that they had a sort of relationship with Drake? Own it… the nerve of some people. After all the long nights, and the FOOD, how could you have done this?!
14. Teenage Fever:
“You’re to blame for what we could have been ’cause look at what we are.”
If you are looking to throw shade at your ex, definitely post a Snapchat video of this song. Plus, it samples J-LO. Need I say more?
15. KMT ft. Giggs:
“Love is just not in my plans, not even takin’ a chance.”
“Dream about work in my sleep.”
No time for any fake love, I am in a committed relationship with food. Pancakes never betrayed me, how about you? Your career will never cheat on you.
16. Lose You:
“Winnin’ is problematic, People like you more when you workin’ towards somethin’, Not when you have it.”
People are always more into the process of achieving something, then when they actually get it, they lose interest and move on.
17. Can’t Have Everything:
“Want a lot, can’t have everything, but I want everything.”
I have this struggle on the daily when I walk into my local pizza store. No harm in eating a whole pie, right? The struggle is real. Always wanting more than you can have.
18. Glow ft. Kanye West:
“You better watch out for me, I’m bound to glow.”
This caption accompanied by a selfie looking all glowed up with a new highlighter. Godlike. Kanye would be proud.
19. Since Way Back ft. PARTYNEXTDOOR:
“Scared to see what I left behind. It’s weighin’ heavy on my mind.”
There is nothing worse than a guilty conscious. Or maybe Drake left all his homework the day before it was due- don’t be like this.
20. Fake Love:
“I’ve been down so long, it look like up to me.”
If you are at the bottom of the ladder there is no place to go but up. Drake started from the bottom, so you do too.
“Vibe switch like night and day.”
Acting one way, then another, just make up your mind.
21. Ice Melts ft. Young Thug:
“Look, I want you to myself. But I know you just left someone else.”
The ones we are interested in are always the people that are taken, emotionally unavailable, or not looking for a relationship right now.
“I still need some satisfaction, a little less talk and a little more action.”
You know biological needs have to met.
22. Do Not Disturb:
“Distractions will do you in, in the truest sense, especially people that want to lecture me and frame it like they just want the best for me.”
People need to start practicing what they preach. If they have nothing good to say they should not say it at all. Zone out the people who are trying to distract you from your goals or making you believe you can not reach them.
Take a listen to this playlist, it will not be disappointing. From side chicks, to ex best friends, to staying on top of your work grind, 10/10 would recommend. “And more chune for your headtop,
