    HS senior year 2010: Crazy how I’d listen to this many nights, almost every night thinking about what I wanted to do with my life and somehow become a firefighter and help people. Now 11 years later I’m a firefighter in the air force and teaching at the fire academy. Which was my dream. Work hard, believe in yourself and things will come true. Bless to all who appreciate and love this song. Much love!!!

    I graduated in 2013 but man I heard drake since room for improvement. And I always thought he was so unique.Out of all the rappers ever… I can say drake had the biggest change from back then to now.. can’t say for the best.. but I can’t say for the worst either. He’s a goat for sure. But man if he dropped something like this nowadays, I may shed a tear.

    This Drake is gone. Never to return. In 30 for 30Freestyle he says that he can't rap like this, 19 wide-eyed and naive. He's drastically changing, and he's in a new space and he chooses to embrace it. He grew up and changed. No, not changed, evolved. His style, his lyricism, all of him has evolved and adapted to the years and all the new styles of rap. That's what keeps him on top.

Just staring at the ceiling at night vibing my iPod and my thoughts. Had I known time would fly so quickly I would have enjoyed that time just a little bit more. I wouldn’t have been in such a rush to grow up.

Today this reminds me how far I have come in my grind to becoming a surgeon. I will always think back to my middle/high school days with this song.

    That's a blessing bro. Life is crazy like that sometimes. Thru the good and the bad times, we gotta keep our faith in God and know that no matter what things will get better with time. I know it might not look like it is sometimes but that's the beauty of it. Not knowing what's gonna happen next is the thrill of it all. We gotta just keep on fighting this fighting 💪🏿. Everything is going to be just fine. God got us thru it all. He knew what we were going to say, do, and think of before we were even born. We just put here on this earth for nothing. We all have a purpose you feel me mane.

    It's crazy how much music is able to recall certain times in your life. When this dropped, I was an 8th grader going into my freshman year at the same high school Klay Thompson just graduated from. I'm 24 years old turning 25 in 2 weeks and I'm just sitting here reflecting. If only I could go back with the knowledge I have now, but that's what growth is I guess. And this song really makes me appreciate where I am at now in life.

    He’s evolved. This was back when he was young and hungry for success. But he’s found a flow that can literally produce hits every single year. The success he has now is the success he’s talking about in this very song. There’s nothing wrong with it either. The hits he has now just have a different soul, which is a natural change.
