Drake is one of the few artists who can have a song blow up without much notice or rollout. He was able to pull that off six years ago (January 19) with his two-pack EP, Scary Hours. It began the running theme within Drizzy's catalog that has now produced a follow-up and is the title for the For All The Dogs extended version. As we mentioned, the first Scary Hours possessed one of Drake's biggest songs ever, that is "God's Plan."
It took over the internet and it was his first single since "Signs" about a year prior in 2017. Joining the global phenomenon was the more lyrically-heavy "Diplomatic Immunity." While "God's Plan" is more of a triumphant and thankful cut about how far he's come amidst adversity, the latter flexes a more braggadocious Drake. "'Cause n****s started talkin' to me like I'm slowin' down / Opinions over statistics, of course / Gassed off journalistic / Come at me and all you'll get is the ballistic report."

Quotable Lyrics From "God's Plan":
She say, "Do you love me?" I tell her, "Only partly
I only love my bed and my mama, I'm sorry"
Fifty Dub, I even got it tatted on me
Eighty-one, they'll bring the crashers to the party
And you know me
Turn the O2 into the O3, dog
