- 10
I just wanna be free
- 20
I need compliments 'cause lately, it's just falling-outs and disagreements, industry is really evil
21And I faced the way they paint me, but it hurts just like the Philly Eagles
22LA love the sound, I could play a show for a million people
23Don't be surprised, you see the whole YM in CA just like The Village People
- 28
I'm tryna catch one of you boys stargazin' in the field like little leaguers, yeah
29And ain't no passes for you Crip walkin', all of that diss talkin', kiddo, beat it
30I'm supposed to be my brother's keeper, so don't make us hit another buzzer beater
31And don't be suddenly eager to hit me up and have no discussions either
- 40
How can you press the ignition and let some memories of the past affect your decision?
41I love you 'cause of the history, but if we bein' real, I could never forgive you
42And you never called me back, but destiny's written, for real
43Fuck a big three anyway, there was too many chefs in the kitchen, it was a mess to begin with, yeah
- 53
And that's draggin' people in who don't wanna get in between
54Dog, I was aidin' Ross with streams before Adin Ross had ever streamed
55And, Khaled, you know what I mean
Block noteMakes the confrontation explicit
TargetDJ Khaled
MeaningWhat it means: In “And, Khaled, you know what I mean,” Drake addresses DJ Khaled directly and makes the situation described in the quoted line the point of confrontation. Why it was said: The track revisits broken alliances and rivalries surrounding Drake's recent disputes, with targets identified from direct lyrics and contemporary reporting. Naming or plainly addressing DJ Khaled removes the safety of a subliminal and makes the quoted claim something the target can either answer or leave standing.

- 57
And your people are still waitin' for a free Palestine
58But apparently everything isn't black and white and red and green, damn
59I'm seein' everyone's true colors, for real, I'm sensin' a theme
Block noteForces the dispute into a direct contest
TargetDJ Khaled
MeaningWhat it means: In “The beef was fully live, you went halal and got on your deen,” Drake addresses DJ Khaled as an opponent who must prove the claims being made rather than rely on reputation. Why it was said: The track revisits broken alliances and rivalries surrounding Drake's recent disputes, with targets identified from direct lyrics and contemporary reporting. The challenge narrows the argument to performance under pressure, where refusing or failing to answer can itself be presented as a loss for DJ Khaled.
