Swear on This Life: A Novel

Product Information

Stephens, R. & Allsop, C. (2012). Does state aggression increase pain tolerance? Psychological Reports, 111, 311–321. By morning, I was so tired that my bones felt dense and my brain hazy. I didn’t know how I would get through a whole school day. But the fear was too much to keep me home. School was my refuge, and books were my friends, so I got ready and headed toward the door. I tiptoed out of the house and went to sit on the short, brown fence in the front yard until Jax came out. I cried as I waited, sad that I didn’t have a mother and that I didn’t have any friends. A lyric about fakery –Drake is pretty much exposing other rappers for lying about their past experiences, here. But you can use this line in other situations, like dealing with fake friends. Y’all will get exposed one day.

Say you’ll never ever leave from beside me / ‘Cause I want ya, and I need ya / And I’m down for you always” A lyric about wannabes: This savage lyric goes out to all the Insta-girls who call themselves ‘models’. In the very words of Drake, girl, you ain’t a model unless you’ve graced the cover of Vogue. All the care I would take / All the love that we made / Now you’re trying to find somebody to replace what I gave to you” A lyric about erm, cats and dogs? We don’t have to spell out this Drake lyric. It’s pretty obvious what the rapper is referring to here. We just think it’s a funny play on words. This story hooked me with the heartbreak and pain of two wonderful characters’ traumatic childhood and unbreakable bond.A lyric about winning: A paradoxical verse where Drake once again boasts and brags about himself. Drake says he’s not the “best” at what he does, but he’ll come out the winner regardless of the competition.

A lyric about your boys: This lyric makes for a great quote when wanting to show your brothers just how much you care for them. You wouldn’t swap them for anyone and will support them to the grave.

About the author

A lyric about Kanye: Drake takes a dig at Kanye West and his infamous descent into madness. Kanye has lost a lot of friends and good ties in business, thanks to his controversial behavior, and Drizzy remarks that that could never be him. A lyric about hustling hard – One of Drake’s most quotable lyrics, this line can be used in any occasion – when you take no breaks and work on your grind or when you want to tell haters they won’t like you when you’re angry. A lyric about ambition: One of the best lines from Honestly, Nevermind, this bar by Drake is enough to give you all the motivation you need towards reaching your goal. Hey, it might even get you to the kitchen stove… A lyric about love – When that someone catches your eye, use this romantic Drake lyric to truly tell them how you feel. Cute wordplay, we’ll say that much. A lyric about success – Drake has had some hardships in life, especially when it comes to high-school bullies. He’s probably in a much better position than they are and they’re most likely looking on and crying. What a great punchline.

A lyric about self-pride – Drake has come far in life and he’s so proud of his success, that if he dies tomorrow, he’ll be dubbed a legend (true, that). If you’ve got that much self-esteem, this line will speak to you.

Help and support

You know life is what we make it, and a chance is like a picture, it'd be nice if you just take it." A lyric about confrontation: It isn’t easy talking to people you can’t stand. If you want to make it known that you’d rather avoid the convo, use this lyric which features awesome wordplay about J. Cole. No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world." —John Keating, Dead Poets Society A lyric about your ex –Drake is ballsy in this one, cussing his ex’s new man and pretty much trampling all over their relationship. Is this one about Rihanna and Chris Brown? Because we all know Drizzy was in love with Rih at one point.
