Aubrey Drake Graham, also known as Drake, is a famous singer, songwriter, artist, and actor. Throughout his career, he has been known for many other things besides his music such as playing the role of Jimmy Brooks, a physically disabled character on Degrassi. He has a number of fans who admire what he does and look up to him, especially from his new single God’s Plan where he seems to be doing good things in the rural areas, local Miami schools, and others.

In addition, to referencing back to himself there also lies a significance throughout the other lyrics. For example, he is saying “God’s Plan” but he seems to be saying that he is better than people when he says, “you know me, turn an 02 into an 03” which indicates a sense of cockiness and question rather or not what Drake is doing is considered a God’s plan. Another example is when he states that “I might go down as G.O.D” which also supports the idea of seeing himself as better because one know that a God is a person that is a ruler and above all humans and Drake is not. In addition, Drake’s lyrics, the video’s positioning of the camera, and his attire that he is wearing can be representations of an underlying message as-well. The positioning of the camera during a video production can mean different things such as power, importance, and even connections amongst roles. In Drake’s video we can see a lot of the times that the camera is positioned below him or he appears to be higher up from the people
