[Intro: Moodymann]
Hold on, hold on, fuck that
Fuck that shit
Hold on, I got to start this motherfuckin' record over again, wait a minute
Fuck that shit
Still on this motherfuckin’ record
I'ma play this motherfucker for y'all
Ayy, y’all get some more drinks goin' on
I'll sound a whole lot better
[Verse 1]
Listen
Seein' you got ritualistic
Cleansin' my soul of addiction for now
'Cause I'm fallin' apart, yeah
Tension
Between us just like picket fences
You got issues that I won’t mention for now
’Cause we're fallin’ apart
[Chorus]
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can’t blame you, no, no
[Verse 2]
Listen
Harder buildin' trust from a distance
I think we should rule out commitment for now
'Cause we're fallin' apart
Leavin'
You're just doing that to get even
Don't pick up the pieces, just leave it for now
They keep fallin' apart
[Chorus]
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
[Outro: Zoë Kravitz]

Possibly about Rihanna. However, it is also likely he is talking about J.Lo, since they have been dating each other – their busy schedules imply they were the reason they stopped seeing each other.

It seems that Drake isn’t of Jamaican decent himself, but this Buzzfeed article says there’s a sizable West Indian population in Toronto that could have influenced his use of patois and other tings from Jamaican culture.
The significance comes with the fruit being widely grown in tropical and semitropical regions of the world and part of that food culture and Drake uses a very tropical influence in the beat of the song.
