On Drake’s history with the Bay Area, Lamar raps: “You think the Bay gon’ let you disrespect Pac n* / I think that Oakland show gon’ be your last stop n* / Did Cole fowl I don’t know why you still pretending / What is thewl? Bird n*’iggas and burnt bitches, go.”
On OVO legal drama, Lamar raps: “Just make sure you hide your little sister from him / They tell me Chubbs the only one that get your hand me downs / Then party at the party playin’ with his nose now / And [?] got a weird case, why is he around? / Certified lover boy, certified pedophiles.”
On narratives, Lamar raps: “Shape the stories how you want, hey Drake, they not slow / Rabbit hole is still deep, I can go further, I promise / Ain’t that something, B stand for bitch and you Malibu most wanted.”
