The 21 Best Lyrics on Drake and Future's 'What a Time to Be Alive'
Future Hendrix and Drizzy Drake dropped their (too short!) mixtape, What a Time to Be Alive, on Sunday night. It's a big, massive, very large deal; Drake is rap's reigning king, Future is poised to have a turn on the throne any day now. The 11-track release is focused around Atlanta vibes and dark melodies and the guys doing their own versions of the same choruses, but it's got lyrical smashes galore. Here are our 21 favorite lines on What a Time to Be Alive.
1. Drake on "Digital Dash: "You hate your life, just be honest"
2. Drake on "30 for 30 Freestyle": "The pen is working if you n---as need some ghost lines"
3. Future on "Big Rings": "You just a battle rapper, I'm an official trapper / N---as be droppin subliminals, n---a, that just some jibber jabber"
