According to TMZ, old lyrics that Drake wrote as a teenager were discovered in a garbage near his uncle’s furniture factory.
The sheets of paper with the lyrics were found when the Memphis furniture manufacturer shut down, and they are now being sold at auction through Moments In Time for a starting bid of $20,000. A spokesman for the auction business claims that Drizzy had had a brief stint working at the factory. The lyrics for a tune called “Come Spring,” which later became “Come Winter” from the rapper’s debut mixtape Room For Improvement, may be found in the rapper’s early drafts.
“We’re in the age of conflict and knowledge / But we’re trapped in this cage of barbed wire and wreckage, with the freedom to go to college,” one of the pages read. “The freedom to indulge and dissolve ourselves in the process / The law says you have witness an audience in the race of silence / Take refuge in a response that defines the face of violence.” The sheet also contains the phone number for someone named “Sylvia,” indicating that Drake was always popular with the ladies.
After Bad Bunny at No. 1 and Taylor Swift at No. 2, Drake was crowned the third most listened to artist globally on Spotify this year, demonstrating how far he has gone from working in a furniture store. With two full-length releases under his belt, he ranks as the No. 1 most listened-to artist in the United States alone for 2022.
