THATS JUST HOW I FEEL Lyrics – Drake

THATS JUST HOW I FEEL Lyrics Meaning

[Part I]
[Intro]
Drake is looking back on past days and a lost relationship. He feels nostalgic and wonders how he could forget someone he once cared for deeply.

[Verse]
Here, Drake talks about how music gives him freedom and how he gets paid to express his real emotions. He looks back on his successful summers and acknowledges the rewards of his hard work. Even though he has fame and trophies, he sometimes misses his old self—the one who made music just for passion. He remembers the times he used to spoil his close friends with jewelry but later realized breaking free from that lifestyle made him stronger. He also questions how long his success will last and how long it’ll take for people to truly recognize the full value of his achievements.

[Part II]
[Chorus]
Drake brags about how much money he makes effortlessly, as if it grows on trees. The wealth seems unreal, showing how fast and naturally success comes to him now.

[Refrain]
He’s simply expressing his truth and emotions about life and success.

[Verse 1]
He mentions people always talking about him since the early days of his fame. He’s used to the noise and criticism. Drake plays around with fame and money—sometimes giving it, sometimes taking it back—just to show he’s in control of it all.

[Refrain]
He repeats his honest feelings about where he’s at in life.

[Verse 2]
Drake shows love and loyalty by buying a car for his brother and helping a friend who’s always stayed real. He mentions Kiki, someone close to him, and promises not to let money define their bond. He flexes his global lifestyle, saying he’s been working nonstop for years while other rappers have faded away. He throws a little jab at older artists trying to compete, reminding everyone he’s still on top even if some people lose interest in him.

[Refrain]
Now he flips it back, saying that’s how others feel about him—it’s part of fame’s ups and downs.

[Verse 3]
Drake talks about how he dominated another summer, enjoying his success differently this time. His expensive jewelry and watches shine brighter than ever, symbolizing his nonstop rise and wealth.

[Chorus]
He again brags about his massive weekly earnings, saying his money flows so easily it feels unreal, like it appears out of nowhere.

[Refrain]
He’s restating his emotions in a simple, confident way.

[Part III]
[Refrain]
Drake continues expressing how he feels, staying real and unfiltered about his emotions.

[Verse 1]
Drake shows a more emotional side here. He asks for comfort from someone close, saying he feels weaker without his friend Baka. Even though his life seems perfect, he admits he’s not always free or happy. He talks about touring, wondering if someone will stay loyal to him while he’s gone. The Paris reference shows his busy, glamorous life, while the line about the MRI scan shows the toll it’s taking on his body. He ends with a casual moment about a friend’s confidence boost, reminding us that fame comes with both fun and fatigue.

[Refrain]
He’s repeating his honest emotional state, staying true to how he feels.

[Verse 2]
He mentions again how people have been talking about him for years, both good and bad. He’s learned to control his fame and wealth, showing that he can give or take it as he pleases.

[Refrain]
He repeats that he’s simply saying what’s real to him in this moment.

[Outro]
Drake ends on a loyal and humble note, showing love to his brother again by buying matching cars. It’s his way of saying success is better when shared with the people who’ve been with him from the start.
