Drake always has us in our feelings. But this touching story of teachers using Drake's words to encourage kids to work hard has really got us in our feelings.
Pop music speaks to kids more directly than us lame adults could ever hope to. So, knowing this, teachers nationwide are decorating school hall billboards with Drake; his hands shaped like a heart, with the lyrics:
"Kiki, are you reading?/Are you writing?/Are you down with knowledge?/Cause I need ya,/And I want ya,/to go to college!"
And though it's an imperfect sentiment...
...with some slight variations on a theme...
...it does seem to be getting kids interested in reading/writing/getting down with knowledge.
The real lyrics to the song:
"Kiki, do you love me? Are you riding?
Say you'll never ever leave from beside me
'Cause I want ya, and I need ya
And I'm down for you always
KB, do you love me? Are you riding?
Say you'll never ever leave from beside me
'Cause I want ya, and I need ya
And I'm down for you always"
Somehow....don't seem as catchy.

We're just here in our feelings about Drake inspiring kids to read/write/go to college/pursue their passions.
We wonder how Drake would feel.
