Fuck that shit
Hold on, I got to start this motherfuckin' record over again
Wait a minute
Fuck that shit
Still on this motherfuckin' record
I'ma play this motherfucka for y'all
Ayy, y'all get some more drinks goin' on
Listen
Seeing you got ritualistic
Cleansin' my soul of addiction for now
'Cause I'm fallin' apart
Yeah, tension
Between us just like picket fences
You got issues that I won't mention for now
'Cause we're fallin' apart
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Listen
Harder buildin' trust from a distance
I think we should rule out commitment for now
'Cause we're fallin' apart
Leavin'
You're just doing that to get even
Don't pick up the pieces, just leave it for now
They keep fallin' apart
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Um, trying to think of the right thing to say
In "Passionfruit," we hear a man in a state of emotional disarray attempting to deal with the end of a romantic relationship. The song's opening lines have a sense of frustration and anger. He's determined to restart the track, suggesting that he has a lot to say about the person who he feels the need to address. Despite the harsh words that come out at the beginning, he gets into it, telling us how he's working with a toxic relationship with a woman who "has issues that I won't mention right now." It's clear that their connection is strained, and he doesn't know how to make it work.
In the "Passionfruit" chorus, we hear Drake acknowledging that he's no longer the person he used to be. He's changed and grown distant from who and what he used to love, leading to an unhealthy situation. The song's central metaphor of passionfruit symbolizes the idea that the romantic relationship had about the passionate and exciting start but had started to decay over time. As much as he wants to blame someone, he can't change who he is or the path that he's on.

This has to be one of the best beats I’ve ever heard. It’s nothing insane to make. It’s simple. but it’s put together so perfect. This beat will always remind me of a certain place and time in my life and I can’t thank Nana and Drake enough for blessing us all with such an absolutely incredible piece of timeless music.
