KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They wishin' on me, yo
I been movin' calm, don't start no trouble with me
Tryna keep it peaceful is a struggle for me
Don't call up at 6 AM to talk here with me
You know how I like it when you missin' on me
I don't wanna go for them to miss me
Hope I got some brothers that outlive me
They gon' tell the story, that was different with me
God's plan, God's plan
I hold back, sometimes I won't, yeah
I feel good, sometimes I don't, ayy, don't
I finessed down Weston Road, ayy, 'nessed
Might go down that way with me, yeah, wait
I go up on Southside, yeah, yeah, wait
I make sure that north-side eat
And still, these things
It's a lot of these things
That they wishin' and wishin' and wishin' and wishin'
They wishin' on me, yeah, ayy, ayy
She said, "Do you love me?" I tell her, "Only partly"
I only love my bed and my mama, I'm sorry
This the one, I even got it written on me
There's no fun, they'll bring the crashers to the party
And you know me
Turn the O2 into the O3, dog
Without all the singing, there'd be no me
Imagine if I never met the KB
God's plan, God's plan
I can't do this on my own, ayy, no, ayy
Someone watchin' this stuff close, yeah, close
I've been me since Scarlett Road, ayy, road, ayy
Might go down that way with me, yeah, wait
I go up on Southside, yeah, yeah, wait
I make sure that north-side eat, yeah
And still, these things
It's a lot of these things
That they wishin' and wishin' and wishin' and wishin'
They wishin' on me, yeah, yeah
These things, It's a lot of these things
That they wishin' and wishin' and wishin' and wishin'
They wishin' on me, yeah
The lyrics of "God's Plan" by KIDZ BOP Kids give insight into the rapper's thoughts about fame, success, and the people who wish for his downfall. The chorus, "God's plan, God's plan," serves as a reminder that everything happening is part of a greater plan that he has no control over. He is aware of the jealousy and envy directed towards him, and he acknowledges "the things that they wishin' on me."
The verses expand upon Drake's caution and wariness towards others. He is "movin' calm" and trying to keep the peace, while also acknowledging that it is difficult for him. He doesn't want to be missed by people, but he still hopes that he has brothers who will outlive him and create a different legacy. The mention of his bed and his mother highlights that, even though he is successful, the important things in his life are still his personal relationships.
Overall, the song portrays Drake's perspective as someone who is aware of the danger of his fame, but still trying to navigate it in a positive way that honors his own values and goals.
