    [Verse]

    02

    I guess this is goodbye, goodnight and good luck

    03

    I'm sitting outside man, I'm right in the truck

    04

    Bags packed, pack of black and milds lighting them up

    05

    I'm looking down on these niggas while I'm biting them up

  2. 06

    I'd like to know the reasoning behind subliminals

    07

    Like who told them to mention me?

    08

    I am elevated homie, you are elementary

    09

    Telling them you selling dope and never sold a century

  3. 10

    Saying you get denied off your entry exam

    11

    You get flow and you done fo', converse in one verse

    12

    About you fraud niggas that shoot never and run first

    13

    And ask Juicy if I stay fly

    Block noteTreats the target's persona as fabricated

    TargetAristo

    MeaningWhat it means: In “About you fraud niggas that shoot never and run first,” Drake says Aristo's public story or image is false rather than a reliable account of who the target is. Why it was said: The track comes from Drake's early Toronto battle period and directly addresses a local opponent named in the supplied recording. Once the persona is presented as invented, the boasts and accusations built on it become easier for listeners to dismiss.

    ContextThe track comes from Drake's early Toronto battle period and directly addresses a local opponent named in the supplied recording.

    On the cellphone, and got a ten on the other end like an eight bi

    15

    6'2" and they tell me you yay high

    16

    They can't but they try, still get offended if I don't say hi

    17

    To me it's kinda gay if I'm saying hi to like eight guys

  5. 18

    So I just walk past and keep it cool till the hate dies

    19

    I do nothing that would offend these cats

    20

    But I wish I had a spot where I could send these cats

    21

    Like here, sit on this island man and pen these raps

  6. 22

    Bust them shots, pretend you trap, do whatever man

    23

    Long as you never find your way home, I'm cool with it

    24

    I left you a shovel there, you know what to do with it

    25

    I never bust a gun, I'm Mister C-T-V

  7. 26

    At least, I'm not Mister Dick Riding C-T-E

    Rappers believe me, I'm cuttin' records with Jody Breezy

    28

    And that nigga would even admit that you flowin' jeezy

    29

    Slow your roll this ain't a diss song

    Block notePressures the target to answer

    TargetAristo

    MeaningWhat it means: In “Slow your roll this ain't a diss song,” Drake treats Aristo's response, delay, or silence as part of the contest rather than a neutral choice. Why it was said: The track comes from Drake's early Toronto battle period and directly addresses a local opponent named in the supplied recording. By defining silence as concession, the line tries to control the timetable of the feud and force Aristo into replying on the artist's terms.

    This song, will let you know I'm not the one to pick on

    31

    White with the yellow, the over easy I'm a swiss on

    32

    Only got a couple girls that I'm willing to kiss on

    33

    With the rest I turn the charm that they cannot resist on

    But I can't call it, maybe you mad cause you fellas looking celibate

    36

    Two things that you are though is jealous and irrelevant, uh

    37

    And I'm official, what's officially true

    Block noteFrames the target as obsolete

    TargetAristo

    MeaningWhat it means: In “Two things that you are though is jealous and irrelevant, uh,” Drake makes age, longevity, or current relevance part of the argument with Aristo, either answering an age taunt or presenting the opponent as past a peak. Why it was said: The track comes from Drake's early Toronto battle period and directly addresses a local opponent named in the supplied recording. The age argument is really a claim about relevance: it asks listeners to view Aristo's reputation as inherited from the past rather than earned in the current exchange.

  10. 38

    Is callin' names would only be beneficial to you

    39

    I just tiring you niggas, ya'll the michelin crew

    40

    I know a response is something that you itching to do

    41

    And you? you're smaller to me then a thumb tack

    43

    But you making out all these dumb tracks, ya LL sixteens

    44

    Cause I listen to them and I don't call it a comeback

    45

    It's more like a shame or disgrace

    Block noteQuestions the target's judgment

    TargetAristo

    MeaningWhat it means: In “But you making out all these dumb tracks, ya LL sixteens,” Drake characterizes Aristo as unintelligent, careless, or unable to understand the situation being addressed. Why it was said: The track comes from Drake's early Toronto battle period and directly addresses a local opponent named in the supplied recording. The insult makes the target's decisions part of the evidence: a poor response can be framed not as strategy, but as proof that Aristo never understood the contest.

    ContextThe track comes from Drake's early Toronto battle period and directly addresses a local opponent named in the supplied recording.

    Considering I'm the one that you aim to displace

    Multi-line diss block
    47

    But you the one I blame in this case

    48

    I doubt you'll experience much of that desired fame at this rate

    49

    Your awkward ass singles, the lamest mixtapes

    Block noteChallenges the target's public standing

    TargetAristo

    MeaningWhat it means: In “I doubt you'll experience much of that desired fame at this rate,” Drake questions whether Aristo's attention, audience, or reputation reflects genuine respect. Why it was said: The track comes from Drake's early Toronto battle period and directly addresses a local opponent named in the supplied recording. Visibility can be mistaken for victory, so the artist recasts Aristo's recognition as temporary, manufactured, or disconnected from credibility.
