    [Intro]

    02

    Yeah (Gold Squad)

    03

    Ayy

    04

    Look

  2. 05

    [Verse]

    06

    I wish everyone could tell me exactly what they need from me

    07

    The first second they speak to me, I'm not with all the secrecy

    08

    Secretly beefin' me behind closed doors

    09

    But playin' it peacefully for the streets to see

  3. 10

    My nigga, have some decency

    11

    Don't move like a puto

    12

    Could at least keep it a buck like Antetokounmpo

    13

    I'm made north of the border like Vito Rizzuto

  4. 14

    Throwin' parties in Miami, they lovin' us mucho

    15

    With the ho ratio, I'm like David Caruso

    16

    Thеre's a mad shortage of peoplе givin' me kudos

    17

    I been doin' this since T-Pain was pourin' us Nuvo

  5. 18

    You tell 'em I run the country, they'll say, "True, though"

    19

    Papi chulo, grippin' culo

    20

    And I got the flows niggas steal like boot toes

    21

    You boys reachin' new lows

  6. 22

    Lettin' me take the rap for that Casper the Ghost shit

    23

    While you findin' all of the loopholes

    24

    You niggas move too cold

    25

    See the watch collection and assume I got time

  7. 26

    'Cause of the ruby rose two-tone

    27

    Or switch it to the one I call "R.I.P. Nipsey"

    28

    'Cause I swear to God the bezel got sixty of them blue stones

    29

    Maybe I'm gettin' too stoned

  8. 30

    Calacatta marble for my tombstone

    31

    Here lies a nigga that never lied in his new song

    32

    Or any of his old songs

    33

    They sing them shits like folk songs

  9. 34

    Kumbaya, boom-ba-ye

    35

    Know the owl stay on me

    36

    Bad bitches tryna come through and lay on me

    37

    Tryna get the Earl Grey on me

  10. 38

    But I ain't really into talkin' names

    39

    Only tee you're getting from me is one for the walk of shame

    40

    Heart is on my sleeve and my body is in the hall of fame

    41

    High fashion and my life is full of climaxes

  11. 42

    And my wishes come true without blowin' eyelashes

    43

    Up in 'Bron crib, fishbowl wineglasses

    44

    That's how we passin' time

    45

    Hundred thousand on the line

  12. 46

    At the table prayin' banker shows a natural nine

    47

    It never happens half the time

    48

    My losing nights are still a vibe

    49

    That's the things I accept

  13. 50

    You over there in denial, we not neck and neck

    51

    It's been a lot of years since we seen you comin' correct

    52

    Man, fuck a "Respectfully," I just want my respect

    53

    They tried to label me mean, I say what I mean

  14. 54

    People that could've stayed on the team

    55

    They played in-between

    56

    Clouds is hanging over you now, 'cause I'm reigning supreme

    57

    Some of these niggas say what they mean, it ain't what it seems

  15. 58

    Had to pull my niggas out the mud like I'm trainin' Marines

    Multi-line diss block
    59

    You niggas hot to them little kids, you ain't famous to me

    60

    Told you I'm aimin' straight for the head, not aiming to please

    61

    I could give a fuck 'bout who designing your sneakers and tees

    Block noteChallenges the target's public standing

    TargetKanye West

    MeaningWhat it means: In “You niggas hot to them little kids, you ain't famous to me,” Drake questions whether Kanye West's attention, audience, or reputation reflects genuine respect. Why it was said: The record belongs to Drake's long-running conflict with Pusha T and Kanye West, which became direct in the 2018 exchange between “Infrared,” “Duppy Freestyle,” and “The Story of Adidon.” Visibility can be mistaken for victory, so the artist recasts Kanye West's recognition as temporary, manufactured, or disconnected from credibility.

  16. 62

    Have somebody put you on a Gildan, you play with my seed

    63

    Trust me, there's some shit you really gotta come see to believe

    64

    That's why your people not believers, they all leavin' ya

    65

    That's why you buyin' into the hype that the press feedin' ya

  17. 66

    You know the fourth level of jealousy is called medea

    67

    Isn't that an ironic revelation?

    68

    Give that address to your driver, make it your destination

    69

    'Stead of just a post out of desperation

  18. 70

    This me reachin' the deepest state of my meditation

    71

    Why you over there tryna impress the nation?

    72

    Mind's runnin' wild with the speculation

    73

    Why the fuck we peacemakin', doin' the explanations

  19. 74

    If we just gon' be right back in that bitch without hesitation?

    75

    But let me digress on behalf of the association

    76

    I'll play it cool with you, then mark a nigga like Copenhagen

    77

    See, they gettin' loose with the lyin' like open cages

  20. 78

    In the LaFerrari, my emotions racin', dancin' out a condo, ocean bathin'

    79

    Niggas textin' "Bro," but we are not of no close relation

    80

    I was down to give these niggas credit, but hold the payment

    81

    Somehow I'm the greatest in the game, to my own amazement

  21. 82

    The greatest in the world, there's no debatin'

    83

    You boys 'bout to will me to defeat like we rollerbladin'

    84

    Far as the Drake era, man, we in the golden ages

    85

    Look at the total wages

  22. 86

    And look at the heroes fallin' from grace in their older ages

    87

    If we talkin' top three, then you been slidin' to third like stolen bases

    88

    Toss around Rollies with the frozen faces

    89

    They used to tell me back in the day, "Boy, you're going places"

  23. 90

    Never understood where I could really take it

  24. 91

    [Outro]

    92

    Yeah
