Lyrics
And, they wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’
They wishin’ on me, yeah
I been movin’ calm, don’t start no trouble with me
Tryna keep it peaceful is a struggle for me
Don’t pull up at 6 AM to cuddle with me
You know how I like it when you lovin’ on me
I don’t wanna die for them to miss me
Yes, I see the things that they wishin’ on me
Hope I got some brothers that outlive me
They gon’ tell the story, sh*t was different with me
God’s plan, God’s plan
I hold back, sometimes I won’t, yeah
I feel good, sometimes I don’t, ayy, don’t
I finessed down Weston Road, ayy, ‘nessed
Might go down a G-O-D, yeah, wait
I go hard on Southside G, yeah, Way
I make sure that north side eat
And still
Bad things
It’s a lot of bad things
That they wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’
They wishin’ on me
Bad things
It’s a lot of bad things
That they wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’
They wishin’ on me
Yeah, ayy, ayy (ayy)
She say, “Do you love me?” I tell her, “Only partly
I only love my bed and my momma, I’m sorry”
Fifty Dub, I even got it tatted on me
81, they’ll bring the crashers to the party
And you know me
Turn the O2 into the O3, dog
Without 40, Oli’, there’d be no me
‘Magine if I never met the broskis
God’s plan, God’s plan
I can’t do this on my own, ayy, no, ayy
Someone watchin’ this sh*t close, yep, close
I’ve been me since Scarlett Road, ayy, road, ayy
Might go down as G-O-D, yeah, wait
I go hard on Southside G, ayy, Way
I make sure that north side eat, yuh
And still
Bad things
It’s a lot of bad things
That they wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’
They wishin’ on me
Yeah, yeah
Bad things
It’s a lot of bad things
That they wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’
They wishin’ on me
Yeah
In the pantheon of modern hip-hop, few songs have resonated with the zeitgeist as powerfully as ‘God’s Plan’ by Drake. Released in 2018, the track immediately separated itself from the pack, not just as a chart-topping hit, but as a cultural moment that provoked thought while reflecting an artist at a pivotal point in his life.
Parsing through the lyrics of ‘God’s Plan’, one can’t help but notice the intricate balance Drake strikes between celebrating his success and recognizing the ephemeral nature of fame. It becomes an anthem of gratitude, responsibility, and the existential push-and-pull between predestination and free will.

Behind the Beat: A Heartfelt Confession Under the Limelight
Underneath the catchy beat and the singalong chorus lies a confession booth where Aubrey Drake Graham communicates with his audience on a personal level. He talks about the struggles of maintaining peace in his life and the constant tug of war between his desires and what is expected of him as a public figure.
The struggle for a peaceful life sheds light on Drake’s internal battle with fame. As he moves ‘calm,’ he acknowledges that keeping out of trouble is a challenge with the world watching every move.
Decoding the Divine: The Hidden Meaning of ‘God’s Plan’
At first glance, ‘God’s Plan’ may seem like a straightforward acknowledgment of Drake’s own success—credit given to divine intervention. However, a deeper dive into the lyrics reveals a nuanced take on destiny and control. Drake contemplates the role of a higher power in his life, implying that his path, however crafted by his own hands, might be part of a grander scheme.
He wrestles with the notion of fate, the idea that his success and the protection of his close ones are part of a plan beyond human understanding. He doesn’t claim to have the answers, but he ponders the tension between making choices and being part of a narrative that is perhaps already written.
Drake’s Ode to Loyalty and Love: Unpacking Relationships in the Song
Relationships are central to ‘God’s Plan.’ Drake touches on love, loyalty, and the importance of connections that transcend the often superficial attachments that come with stardom. From his refusal to let an unnamed love interest overstep boundaries to the declaration of love for his mother and his bed, there’s a playfulness that underscores the gravity of his acknowledgments.
The lines serve a dual purpose; not just comic relief but also a statement on what he truly values. It’s his bed (a metaphor for rest and privacy) and his mother (the symbol of unconditional love) that hold his deepest affections, despite the many distractions that fame puts forth.
Anthem for the Underdog: How ‘God’s Plan’ Inspires Hope
Beyond the personal, ‘God’s Plan’ takes on a universal tone. It becomes an anthem for those facing adversity or perceived malevolence from others. Drake’s acknowledgment of ‘bad things’ that people wish upon him is a collective sigh on behalf of everyone who has ever faced jealousy or malice.
There is an inspirational undertone to the track—an invitation to recognize these negative wishes but to live beyond them. It suggests a world where, despite the negativity, one can prevail and spread positivity, much like Drake represents through his charity work shown in the music video for the song.
Memorable Lines That Resonated with Generations
‘She say, “Do you love me?” I tell her, “Only partly I only love my bed and my momma, I’m sorry”‘ – Probably one of the most quoted lines from the song, it became a viral sensation. It’s this kind of cheeky yet honest lyricism that fans have come to enjoy and expect from Drake, a line that reflects his own personal mischievous mantra.
The brevity of the line and its relatable message of mixed priorities resonated widely with listeners. It’s a clever reflection of Drake’s skill at blending humor with heartfelt sentiment, and an example of how one line can capture the ethos of an entire generation’s approach to love and loyalty.
