aubrey drake graham. happy birthday to the greatest artist to ever touch a microphone. i genuinely dont think you understand how much you mean to me and how much of an impact you have had on my life. i really grew up listening to you and im just grateful that i got to spend half of my life hearing your beautiful voice. your music has been there for me through some of the happiest moments of my life and some of the darkest moments too. songs like look what youve done and weston road flows genuinely changed my life forever. those arent just songs to me. those are pieces of my life that i can go back and listen to whenever i need to remember where i came from and how far ive made it. the way you can put emotions into words and make somebody feel like you made a song specifically for them is something i dont think another artist will ever be able to do.

watching you accomplish everything you have accomplished over the years has been one of the greatest things to witness. all the number ones. all the broken records. all the sold out arenas. all the albums that became soundtracks to peoples lives. and the craziest part is after everything you have achieved you still continue to give us music and moments that we will remember forever. you have nothing left to prove to anybody and yet you continue to prove why you are the greatest.

i know this might sound crazy but i genuinely look at you like a stepdad or a big brother. somebody i grew up learning from without ever having to meet them. your confidence. your loyalty. your ambition. your ability to keep going no matter how many people want to see you fall. all of that has inspired me more than you could ever imagine. and i want you to know that anybody you are against i am against too. i dont even need to hear both sides of the story. if they got a problem with you then they got a problem with me.

i really wish i could explain how many memories i have attached to your music. how many car rides. how many late nights. how many times i played the same song over and over because it felt like you were saying everything i couldnt put into words. you have literally been the soundtrack to me growing up and becoming the person i am today.

i hope you understand that your legacy is so much bigger than streams and numbers and awards. you have helped people get through things you will never even know about. you have inspired an entire generation to dream bigger and believe in themselves. and im forever going to be one of those people.

happy birthday drake. thank you for giving me half a lifetime of memories. thank you for look what youve done. thank you for weston road flows. thank you for every album. every verse. every late night song. every motivational bar. and every moment you reminded me that anything is possible. i pray you get to live another hundred years because i genuinely cant imagine a world without your music in it. i love you forever aubrey. the greatest to ever do it. the boy. the 6 god. my goat forever.
