Drake engages his son, asking about the various elements in the drawing, from a goat fleeing monsters to a burning flower, stairs, and more. The heartwarming interaction captures the innocence of childhood and the bond between father and son.
"Do you want to talk about how much money you got for your beautiful drawing?" Drake teasingly asks Adonis, who responds with a dismissive, "Oh, please," eliciting laughter from his father.

The track delves into Drake's introspective thoughts, touching on topics ranging from personal struggles to fame and his impact on the industry.
Drake's surprise release left fans in awe, flooding social media with messages of admiration. One fan wrote, "Drake never fails to amaze us. This video is pure gold," while another commented, "Adonis stole the show! What a talented family."
