THATS JUST HOW I FEEL Lyrics – Drake

THATS JUST HOW I FEEL Lyrics Meaning

[Part I]
[Intro]
These few lines hint at someone unforgettable and a memory that lingers but feels incomplete.

[Verse]
Here, Drake is talking about how music makes him feel alive and free, like his soul is open. He reflects on how he’s paid to share his feelings, but wonders if people really understand his depth. He recalls past summers full of hits and success, saying people owe him recognition for that. He admits that carrying trophies and awards might slow him down, so he avoids showing off too much. In private moments, he still raps like his old self. He remembers giving chains to his close friends and mentors, but eventually breaking free from that habit as a sign of growth. Despite all the wins, he questions how long he’ll stay on top and thinks about the massive wealth he’s built, almost in disbelief at how big it’s gotten.

[Part II]
[Chorus]
He’s amazed at how quickly he’s made a huge amount of money, almost like it came effortlessly or from nowhere.

[Refrain]
He’s expressing his raw emotions, saying he’s just being honest about how he feels.

[Verse 1]
Drake points out that people have been talking about him for years. He’s playful with his fame and money, giving it out at times but also taking it back, showing he controls the game.

[Refrain]
He repeats that his words are just a reflection of his feelings in the moment.

[Verse 2]
Drake highlights his loyalty by buying his brother a car and supporting his friend Kai for staying real with him. He mentions Kiki, showing love and trust, while also bragging about traveling the world and living big. He’s proud of his long career, saying he’s worked nonstop for nearly two decades. He calls out other rappers who fell off and older artists who think they can compete with him. At the same time, he knows fans’ love can fade, but he doesn’t seem too bothered.

[Refrain]
He flips it around, saying this is how others feel about him, not just his own view.

[Verse 3]
He brags about dominating the summer again, but in a different way than before. His jewelry and lifestyle keep getting flashier, showing his ongoing success and rise in status.

Still, he confesses he’s not always free from struggles. He talks about coming back from tour and wanting someone to wait for him. With a playful reference to Paris and being surrounded by his crew, he shows how big his presence is. He also shares a more casual side of his life, mentioning relationships and even joking about his friend fixing his hairline while chasing the same lifestyle. It’s a mix of vulnerability, humor, and flexing his success.
