Drake's Teenage Rap Lyrics Go Up For Auction For $20K

Drake was rapping long before the days he was selling out arenas, and some of his early handwritten lyrics have now gone up for auction.

According to TMZ, a young Drake penned the lyrics while was working for his uncle’s Memphis furniture manufacturer in the 2000s. They ended up in the trash and were only discovered in the factory’s dumpster when it was closing up shop for good.

OVO fans will have the chance to purchase the handwritten lyrics on loose-leaf paper fro the Moments In Time auction house for $20,000.

You can check out a photograph of the lyrics below:

The top of the page features the name Sylvia scribbled across the header with her phone number, which could have been an old flame Drizzy had or was looking to pursue.

“Plates/passed around for collection/ Raising money for cheap cell phones with no reception,” he penned.

Lyrics from this time might be recognizable to some as “Come Spring” with bars that eventually evolved into 2006’s Room For Improvement sleeper “Come Winter.”

Nearly two decades later, Drake’s still at the apex of the rap game and his decorated career has seen him collect just about every accolade that could possibly be desired by an artist.
