This is probably the realest song Drake has ever written. He talks about fame and how it's not all what it seems, saying the money changes so much. People (including me) have been criticizing his constant singing in all of his songs but the choruses vocals are the heart of the song.
He also exposes the fact that not all the Young Money crew signed for a million dollars and that he hopes they tell their families it's not what it seems.Take a good listen.
I've posted 2nd verses lyrics below to illustrate how deep the song gets.
Too damn dope.

(Verse 2)
(Don't take this the wrong way but uhh)
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.
I stay away from niggas that could land me in some trouble.
And I'ma keep it honest.
I'm so tired of being subtle.
It's just me, Forty, O, and Nek standing in a huddle.
Staring at the members of my team.
Who get questioned about they profit from this million dollar scheme.
Just know that am in debt for you defending all our dreams.
I hope you tell your families this shit ain't what it seems.
But y'all the reason for a lot of my devotion.
You know I spend money because spending time is hopeless.
And know I pop bottles 'cuz I bottle my emotions.
At least I put it all in the open.
