Drake Talks Lil Wayne, Rihanna In The Alicia Keys-Featured “Fireworks”
Canadian rapper/singer/rookie of the decade Drake clears the air surrounding several topics in “Fireworks,” a newly leaked track from his forthcoming debut album, Thank Me Later. Among those topics are his mentor Lil Wayne, the relationship with his father, and his fling with pop star Rihanna.
Amidst a slow churning, crackling beat, Drizzy opens the song by rapping about his new found fame and learning to embrace the haters. He hopes, though, one of those hates will never be Lil Wayne. “Wayne put me right here/That’s who I get the paper with/I hope that my success never alters our relationship,” he raps.
The entire second verse seems to be dedicated to Miss Fenty and their highly publicized date/make out session at New York’s Lucky Strikes bowling alley — a date the two have vehemently denied. “I could tell it wasn’t love / I just thought you’d f*cked with me/ Who could have predicted Lucky Strike would have you stuck with me?” Drake continues, revealing how trouble in paradise began brewing when his name was suddenly plastered all over the “gossip rags” and how he was being blamed for the story catching fire. Whatever they had “wasn’t that serious,” but Drizzy adds, “I’ll never forget it…what an experience.”
In the finale verse, Drake paints the picture of a severed relationship between father and son. “My dad called me up knowing that I still listen/And he still got his foot out, guilt trippin’,” he raps.
Holding all of the verses together is Alicia Keys on the hook, repaying Drake for writing and singing on her latest single “Un-Thinkable.”
