Image via Complex Original/Sylvia Hoang Drake’s long-awaited sixth studio album, Certified Lover Boy, is finally here. And given that The Boy is as patriotic as they come, showing love to his homebase every chance he gets (see: the
“What’s Next” music video, the Views album cover, and his role as the Raptors’ unofficial coach), it’s only natural that his new LP is rife with references to
Canada. From the country’s prime minister to Montreal crime bosses to his own street, he nods to a wide variety of people and places in the Great White North. Here are all the Canadian references on the album we were able to spot. Sign up for Complex notifications for breaking news and stories. Reflect on the song, "The World Is Yours" by Nas, (feat. Pete Rock). A student in the English 201 8-9, Thomas, shared this song and the CD, Illmatic, with me yesterday and I thought, on the eve of 9/11, this would be an appropriate meditation, one of hope, rather than despair. WS "It's yours!" --> [T La Rock] [Chorus: Nas, Pete Rock] [PR] Whose world is this? I sip the Dom P, watchin Gandhi til I'm charged [Chorus: Nas, Pete Rock] [PR] Whose world is this? To my man Ill Will, God bless your life "It's yours!" [Chorus: Nas, Pete Rock] [PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine [Pete Rock cuts and scratches "It's yours!"] I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down singlehanded "It's yours!" [Chorus: Nas, Pete Rock] [PR] It's mine, it's
mine, it's mine Yea aight? [Pete Rock keeps cuttin and scratchin "It's yours!" to fade] [ www.azlyrics.com ] |
