God's Plan

Drake's 'God's Plan' is a reflective anthem that delves into the rapper's personal journey, his rise to fame, and the challenges that come with success. The song's lyrics suggest a sense of destiny or divine intervention in Drake's life, implying that his path is guided by a higher power, which he refers to as 'God's plan.' The repeated line 'I hold back, sometimes I won't' indicates a struggle between restraint and indulgence, a common theme in the lives of those under the public eye.

The song also touches on the theme of loyalty and the importance of Drake's inner circle. References to his friends and family, such as 'I only love my bed and my mama, I'm sorry,' show a prioritization of personal relationships over romantic ones. The mention of 'Fifty Dub' and 'Eighty-one' alludes to his friends and the support system that has been instrumental in his success. The shoutout to his producer '40' (Noah Shebib) and the 'broskies' acknowledges the collaborative nature of his career and the gratitude he has for those who have been part of his journey.

Throughout the song, Drake addresses the negativity and envy from others with the lines 'Bad things, It's a lot of bad things that they wishin' and wishin' on me.' Despite the ill will he perceives from others, he remains focused on his work and his community, as seen in his commitment to 'make sure that Northside eat.' This sense of responsibility and giving back is a testament to Drake's character and the values he holds dear, even amidst the complexities of fame and fortune.
