In the Apple Music page for the new album, the Drake included a lengthy statement which said: “I let my humbleness turn to numbness at times letting time go by knowing I got the endurance to catch it another time

“That’s some real detrimental s**t but that’s that s**t my perfectionist mind doesn’t really mind because no one knows whats on my mind when I go to sleep at 9 & wake up at 5 - unless I say it in rhyme

“I got plans I can’t talk about with more than like 4 guys because the last time I shared em with someone on the outside…well that’s another story for another night

“I was tryna get thru that statement to get to saying I’m not @ a time in my life where pats on the shoulder help get me by

“I know if it was a dark night where all the odds were against my side & my skill went to whoever took my life they’d done me off with a big smile & maybe evn post it for some likes

“I know everyone that tells me they love me doesn’t love me all the time especially when im doing better than alright & they have to watch it from whatever point they at in their life
