AceShowbiz - What Pusha T said on his diss track is indeed true after all. Drake has finally released his highly-anticipated fifth studio album "Scorpion" as well as confirmed that he has a son on one of the tracks off the effort, "Emotionless".
The song, which samples Mariah Carey's "Emotions", features the rapper spitting lines about the reason why he keeps quiet about his son. "I wasn't hiding my kid from the world/ I was hiding the world from my kid," he raps. "From empty soul who just wake up and look to debate/ Until you staring at your seed you could never relate."
Drake also opens up about his son and his relationship with the baby mama on the album's final song "March 14". "I had to come to terms with the fact that it's not a maybe/ That s**t is in stone, sealed and signed/ She's not my lover like Billie Jean, but the kid is mine," he spits, before rapping about her alleged baby mama Sophie Brussaux, "S**t, we only met two times."
The song also finds the hip-hop superstar confirming that the son was born on October 11, though he doesn't reveal in what year the young boy greeted the world. Drake also expresses the difficulties and regrets he feels that come from fatherhood in the song.
"Single father, I hate when I hear it/ I used to challenge my parents on every album/ Now I'm embarrassed to tell them I ended up as a co-parent/ Always promised the family unit," he rhymes. "Realize I got to think for two now, I gotta make it, I better make it/ I promise if I'm not dead then I'm dedicated."
Aside from the two songs, "Scorpion" includes collaboration with Michael Jackson on "Don't Matter to Me" and Jay-Z-assisted track "Talk Up".
