In My Draws
Devin the Dude Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, hello again my weed smokin' friends
I'm glad you came with coughee in your cups
If I went up I'll do the same
And you can pass it to someone you've never met
And let 'em get just as high as you
You're eyes red as shit, mine too

We 'bout to start the show who got an Optimo?
A swisha suite, a zig zag and the bitch that'll kiss my meat
This cordless mic, I know what they like
Continue to rockin' the show that'll slow up a fight

And I know of a dyke, who wouldn't mind
Gettin' some of this dick from behind but I'm gonna chill y'all
'Cause she might wanna start wearin' my draws and

Oh no, don't want that shit to happen
Get it twisted just because I'm rappin'
Don't want that shit to happen
Don't get it twisted just because I'm rappin'
Don't want that shit to happen

Admirin' my weed jar, it's rather stocky
At the crib, how 'bout myself lookin' at hockey
And wonderin' who's gonna win The Cup
If it was full of coughee I know the brothers will man up

I'll stand up to get a drink, then I get a call
Can you come over so I can lick your balls?
Well yes, I guess let me shampoo my nuts and get dressed
I'll be there in 20 minutes

Mission complete, I hit the street with the suite, some heat
But fuck, there's some cops on the beat
And there's some crooked laws
That'll pull you over and dig all in your draws and

Oh no, don't want that shit to happen
Get it twisted just because I'm rappin'
I don't want that shit to happen
Get it twisted just because I'm rappin'

5:30 p.m., I'm at the lab again
Another song, about to take another stab again
Drinkin' and laughin' and puff, puff, passin' it
To and fro' while constructin' my flow

And pick up some hoes, up in this motherfucker
Hey, whatcha wanna do girl?
I don't wanna tease you, I just wanna please you
And lick you from your neck to the top of your dick
And then rub my clit and grind my hips

Oh, that sounds like some pretty cool shit
But damn, might get full of weed and alcohol
I go to sleep, you try to dig off in my wallet and in my draws and

Don't want that shit to happen
Get it twisted just because I'm rappin'
I don't want that shit to happen
Get it twisted just because I'm rappin'

Don't want that shit to happen
Don't get it twisted just because I'm rappin'




I don't want it, don't want it, don't want it
Don't want that shit to happen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Devin the Dude's song "In My Draws" are about the artist's experiences with weed, sex, and the dangers he faces as a rapper. In the beginning, he welcomes his weed-smoking friends to the show and encourages them to pass the weed around. He raps about performing and getting a phone call from a woman who invites him over for some intimate fun, but he is cautious of the cops who might pull him over and search him. Later, he is in the studio working on a song when some women arrive, and he contemplates hooking up with them but fears being taken advantage of while he is high or asleep.


Devin's lyrics reflect the reality of many rappers who face the dangers of living life in the public eye. They are constantly under scrutiny by law enforcement and can be targeted for the content of their music. Devin seems to be aware of this, and he urges caution to his friends and himself. He also uses humor and wit to convey his message, and his lyrics about sex and weed are both playful and insightful.
