• This Jake One co-produced track finds Drake examining the duality imposed by fame and his personal limbo:
  
  "Somewhere between psychotic and iconic
  Somewhere between I want it and I got it
  Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifted
  Somewhere between a mistress and commitment."
  
  Happily the song closes on a celebratory note as the successful Toronto MC comes to the realization that "this is the life for me."
• Drake boasts in the third verse about how he's got his competitors scared that when he's finished rapping, there won't be anything left for them:
  
  "I got 'em worried, like make sure you save a slice for me.
  I should have Spoons serve you up with a fork and knife for me."
  
  Drake is not only continuing the food metaphor in the second line, but also referencing his cutlery-monikered bodyguard Spoons. Drake shouted out another of his bodyguards, his longtime buddy Chubby Chub, on the Nothing Was The Same deluxe version bonus track, "The Motion:" ("And my dog Chubby Chub, that's my nigga from the way").
• We often point out bad grammar in songs, so here we'll give Drake credit for his proper use of "furthest." A common mistake is the use of "farthest" in this situation, which would indicate a literal distance (Hawaii is the state farthest away from California). When Drake raps about being the "furthest thing from perfect," he is indicating a figurative distance, and "furthest" is correct.
