Scholarships

'Scholarships' appears on What a Time to Be Alive, the Drake and Future joint project, produced by Metro Boomin. The song is widely read as a materialist flex built around a single extended metaphor: spending money on women as if funding 'scholarships,' a framing that casts generosity, ego, and transactional relationships in one ironic image. The track leans on Future's hook-driven, melodic trap sensibility, with Drake matching the project's harder, less introspective register. As a mid-tape cut, it reinforces the collaboration's tone, fast-made, swaggering, and committed to the Atlanta sound, rather than introducing a new emotional thread.
