The “east” Drake is referring to is likely eastern Toronto, or Scarborough. Drake has mentioned that part of town on songs like “Energy” and “Worst Behavior”, and it’s where his homie Baka is from.

Drake dropped a song called “Days In The East” in 2014 that is widely believed to be about Rihanna. Perhaps that’s who he’s referring to here as well.

“In Common” is Alicia Key’s first single since 2012’s “Girl On Fire” and places Key’s soft but soulful vocals over smooth tropical beats. The song centers around the idea that “opposites attract”, but in this case Keys and her lover ultimately have too many common traits to be together.

Keys debuted “In Common” as well as “Hallelujah” on the May 7th episode of Saturday Night Live after she teased that new songs were on the way in a Snapchat video.

Drake cleverly uses the homophone seem/seam (which is what you get when you sew two things together), to refer to how even though things may appear to be set a certain way, that isn’t always the case.

The line “when its so together” also sounds like “when its sewed together” which changes the meaning of the line. Although Drake’s winning in this rap game, he’s still struggling in other areas, specifically his love life.

Rather than working towards their goal of being at the top or getting bread, other rappers seem more interested in taking shots at Drake online and in songs. Drake has proven several times that coming at him that way is not a great idea for your career.

Percocet is a drug used to relieve pain, while Codeine is used to help with coughing. Recently both drugs have become popular to use recreationally despite the fact that they are highly addictive and potentially deadly. Southern legends like Pimp C and DJ Screw have died from Codeine overdose, so Quavo hopes to not follow in a similar path.
