Drake dives deep into the frustrations and complexities of learning Calculus in his latest track, 'Derivatives and Heartbreaks.' This song captures the angst, the struggle, and the emotional turmoil of trying to grasp one of the toughest subjects in math. Resonating with students and fans alike, this track is not just about math, but about overcoming challenges and pushing through the grind.
Verse 1:
Another late night, buried in my textbook
Lost in derivatives, my brain's on a hook
Limits to infinite, I'm ready to break
All these integrals, they give me headaches
Pre-Chorus:
Chain rule, product rule, I'm losin' my cool
Can't tell if it's math or love makin' me the fool
Chorus:
Derivatives and heartbreaks, I can't keep this pace
Tangled up in numbers, lost in space
Calculus got me twisted, I'm in a haze
Tryna find my way outta this maze
Verse 2:
Prof says it's simple, just follow the code
But my mind's overloaded, about to explode
Trying to solve you, but you’re just too complex
Every time I think I'm close, I'm onto the next
Pre-Chorus:
Chain rule, product rule, I'm losin' my cool
Can't tell if it's math or love makin' me the fool
Chorus:
Derivatives and heartbreaks, I can't keep this pace
Tangled up in numbers, lost in space
Calculus got me twisted, I'm in a haze
Tryna find my way outta this maze
Bridge:
Maximum, minimum, points on the graph
Plotting all my failures, tryna do the math
Integral of love, derivative of pain
Something's gotta give before I go insane
Chorus:
Derivatives and heartbreaks, I can't keep this pace
Tangled up in numbers, lost in space
Calculus got me twisted, I'm in a haze
Tryna find my way outta this maze
Outro:
Prof says keep pushing, don’t you dare give in
But it's hard to see the light when you don't know where to begin
Derivatives and heartbreaks, it’s a grind and a fight
But I’ll conquer Calculus if it takes all night
