Hold on, hold on, fuck that
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 motherfucker for y'all
Ayy, y’all get some more drinks goin' on
I'll sound a whole lot better
[Verse 1]
Listen
Seein' 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro: Zoë Kravitz]
Um, trying to think of the right thing to say
About
“Passionfruit” details Drake’s struggle to maintain trust in a long-distance relationship. Throughout the song, Drake explores how he is unable to maintain trust and faithfulness to this woman, eventually advising her to put a stop to the relationship. This is similar to another of Drake’s songs, “Marvin’s Room.”
There’s been much recent speculation over Drake’s love interests (such as Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna), and this song could refer to any number of them.
The smooth beat of the song reflects the tropical/dancehall influences that have been present in many songs from Views, including “Hotline Bling,” “One Dance,” and “Controlla.”
