    [Intro]

    02

    For real

    03

    My social battery is drained, for real, for real

    04

    Just came from hearin' a lot of niggas cop a lot of pleas, like

    05

    "Oh brother, you know we— you know we brothers, it's never been nothin'"

  2. 06

    I'll tell you, sendin' me that owl emoji in my DM ain't gon' mend nothin'

    07

    Don't try comin' around when the score's back to ten-nothin', for real

    08

    I don't wanna hear none of that shit

  3. 09

    [Verse]

    10

    Look up, turbulent flights, dodgin' cumulus clouds

    11

    Squares drawn on the line, but we at the root of it now

    12

    It feels like I gotta lie to even tie

    13

    So I don't even know if these are wins or not based on what's suitable now

  4. 14

    You don't even hear me though

    You put that jacket on anybody, you're funeral bound

    16

    But like the goal post, I'm out here just movin' around

    17

    They say conclusions were drawn, but I'm in super denial

    Block noteUses image and fashion as evidence

    TargetKendrick Lamar

    MeaningWhat it means: In “You put that jacket on anybody, you're funeral bound,” Drake treats Kendrick Lamar's clothing or presentation as a constructed image that can be mocked or traced to somebody else. 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. Public style is part of a rapper's brand, so attacking it makes the entire persona look manufactured rather than self-defined.

    What is a loss? I'll be damned if I'm losin' it now

    19

    I'm the golden goose, shakin' things up at Lucian's house

    20

    I'm in the battlefield really puttin' boots to the ground

    21

    A booster seat for yourselves and the lies that you tell

  6. 22

    If Drake took out the AK, maybe he'd be in jail

    23

    Just based off the name that it spells

    24

    What they say they just smelled?

    25

    I heard they got special places in hell

  7. 26

    For niggas jokin' 'bout evil when they did it themselves, damn

    27

    What, y'all thought I was done?

    28

    Y'all forgot what I done?

    29

    Y'all forgot about Drake, y'all forgot where I'm from?

  8. 30

    Y'all forgot if I gave you a hand, you under the thumb

    31

    Convenient amnesia from all you ballerinas

    32

    It doesn't alter what you said or how it made us see you

    33

    I shouldn't even be shocked to see you in that arena

  9. 34

    Because you always made your career off of switchin' teams up

    35

    I never got a copy of the newest rules

    36

    Apparently the title of the book is called, "Fooling Fools"

    37

    Y'all was ridin' all summer, pedo bars goin' number one

    Block noteUses career results as evidence

    TargetKendrick Lamar

    MeaningWhat it means: In “Because you always made your career off of switchin' teams up,” Drake turns releases, sales, label standing, or career momentum into a public measurement of Kendrick Lamar's position. 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 artist invokes an external scoreboard so listeners can compare Kendrick Lamar's claims with visible results, making status something that can be disproved rather than merely debated.

  10. 38

    And yet y'all tryna tell me who's groomin' who

    39

    Comb through this hair, before you cut me for a new recruit

    40

    Before you say, "Toodaloo", off of shit that keep poppin' up on your Google News

    41

    Ain't been in the K since I flew the coupe

  11. 42

    I was on Coulson Ave. with my mama, numbers started goin' through the roof

    43

    Bentley with the B inside the wings like, "Whoopty Woos"

    44

    Spinnin' downtown like hula hoops

    45

    Is it the fair skin or the Jewish roots?

  12. 46

    Why people wanna not see me on top of the mountain like I do the Dew

    47

    Damn, and fuck a Billboard number one, man, whoopty-doo

    48

    They riggin' the game, because you fightin' the biggest artist

    49

    They tryna have me stuck in this position like rigor mortis

  13. 50

    Turn my back on you just to give you the biggest target

    51

    They only know your name in the bigger markets

    52

    Never in the little markets, B markets, C markets, all of those is D markets

    53

    You be at the flea market, that's code in the 6ix

  14. 54

    It means chances are you takin' a plea bargain

    55

    You belong in the pack with some rats like Dean Martin

    56

    Me, Wayne, and Mack, the Three Amigos, I'm Steve Martin

    57

    I swear I'm goin' looney over tunes like that green martian, so please stop

  15. 58

    Memories of where we used to live, but truth be told I can't even see the block

    59

    It's blocked by the tree tops

    60

    Please stop askin' about what's goin' on with 23 and me

    61

    I'm a real nigga and he's not, it's in my DNA

  16. 62

    I could've fell back like the married rapper, but we engaged

    63

    I told y'all I'm settled in my evil ways

    64

    These niggas thinkin' that the spot is up for grabs, they'll never see the day

    65

    To be the number one, you gotta lead the way

  17. 66

    And to hold somethin' over my head forever, you're still a couple feet away

    67

    Your insecurities keep spannin' season to season like you Issa Rae

    68

    Plot twist, the owl never sees the cage

    69

    The owl only wakes up to seize the day

  18. 70

    Talkin' about hidin' the Bible, maybe y'all should read a page

    71

    Iced-out crosses on they necks, thinkin' Jesus saves

    72

    Well, even if he does, nigga, either way

    73

    The blasphemy you talk let me know that your amazin' grace gon' be delayed

  19. 74

    You niggas should be ashamed

    75

    The fact you had to bring those talks to get some decent plays, goodness grac—

    76

    God wanna wipe that lil' smug look right off of your fuckin' face

    77

    All you really did was cap like uppercase

  20. 78

    Dodge a troop, but still managed to finally get a hit that let you run a base

    79

    Niggas sought you out at first

    80

    You need him, so you out at home now just like a double play

    81

    As for these other suckers that's tucked away

  21. 82

    I'm down to put bills on they face

    83

    No wonder why they been duckin' Drake

    84

    Bills on they face, no wonder why they been duckin' Drake, ah

    85

    Let's not even take it to that other place

  22. 86

    You boys too pussy like double dates

    87

    Runnin' out the 6ix like you won a race

    88

    I watched the scouts spazz him with a puzzled face

    89

    Who knows which one of his bubble-shaped tings I must've ushered through the double gates

    Block noteUses gendered or sexual humiliation

    TargetKendrick Lamar

    Showed her the time of her life while broski havin' stomach aches

    91

    Hearin' 'bout good times at Lovers Lake

    92

    And send her back to you while you sleep walkin' naked in another state

    93

    Ah, you'll live to see another day

  24. 94

    And even if you don't, it's just another day
