Trivia

Interesting facts about Fear Of Heights. By Songfacts.

This is the final track on Drake's EP So Far Gone, the revised version of his breakthrough mixtape of the same title.


This is one of two new songs not included on the original mixtape. Drake told MTV News: "I had recorded it when I was recording So Far Gone. The first verse and half of the second verse, I had gotten through - then I stopped. It was getting eerie for me. It was getting eerie. It was kinda like, 'Whoa.' Then the other night I had a moment and finished this song. The third verse transitions into Thank Me Later. The last line of the third verse is gonna be the first line on my album. It's gonna transition."


On this track, Drake raps "I never cried when 'Pac died/ But I probably will when Hov does/ And if my tears hold value, then I would drop one for every single thing he showed us/ And I'll be standing in a puddle." The Canadian MC explained to MTV News that the lines aren't dissing Tupac Shakur. Instead, he's just pointing out that he was too young to fully feel the impact of the hip hop icon at the time of his death. He explained: "A lot of people also sort of don't understand the meaning of that line. It's not necessarily that I don't love West Coast hip-hop or that I don't love 'Pac now that I'm 22, but that line was just said to show how new I am to hip-hop. And like I said, I was 9 when that happened, so it didn't really affect me. But that song in general was just one of those things that took awhile to finish because it was an opportunity to say a lot of the things on my mind. That always feels good as a rapper, when you can get your thoughts out."
