Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
Young nigga preach
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
I'm in Miami
I need to call up Miss Cassidy
My name is PARTY, not "Participation"
I need a drink and some Tequila with you
You know what I'm tryna do
Hey, let's pop the E off at LIV
I've got some timing to blow
I've got the money to blow
I've got the money and blow
Don't have to guess how I know
Oh, it's a secret? Trust me, I'll keep it
Your old niggas boring as bones
You put the PARTY tape on
You know what's going on, you know what's going on
She keep it wet like Tsunami
She think she sunk the Titanic
I get her hot like Wasabi
She think it's wavy and gnarly
I think I'ma pop one for you
Drink one for you
Young nigga preach (yeah)
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach

Still in Miami
Most of these girls are too messy
I've got to do some reflecting
I've got to find me one out here that's good at taking direction
I'm convinced that my calls are being recorded
So hit my assistant to get me the message and make the connection like, brrt
I'm on my way tonight I hope you not the crazy type, yeah
I'm in your state tonight I might just break the bank tonight, yeah
PND ain't with the ray-tay, you know Jay Ray
Got girls her going way, way, way, way, way, way
Sauga city trip the pay day
Glo'd up offa Gateway, man, you can't afford me
Doing is one thing
Doing it right is a whole different story
Niggas is all in their feelings these days
All in their feelings these days
But hearing the scripture with that many 6s you should be afraid
Young nigga preach (preach)
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
Young nigga preach (yeah)
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
Young nigga preach (yeah)
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach

Preaching bad
Preaching, whoa

In the song "Preach" by Drake and PartyNextDoor, the artists talk about their party lifestyle while also addressing common themes of youth, money, and love. The song opens with the repeated phrase "Young nigga preach," immediately setting the tone for the song's themes. The artists talk about their lives in Miami, mentioning the desire to drink and have a good time. However, there are also moments of reflection, as PartyNextDoor expresses his need to find someone who can take direction. The line, "Doing is one thing, doing it right is a whole different story," speaks to the idea that while it may be easy to party and have fun, it's important to ensure one's actions align with one's goals and aspirations.
The lyrics also touch on themes of love and relationships. PartyNextDoor references a woman who "keeps it wet like Tsunami" and thinks she "sunk the Titanic." However, there is also a sense of hesitation, as he mentions being "convinced that [his] calls are being recorded." This speaks to the idea that there is a level of insecurity and mistrust in relationships, something that is common among young people.
Overall, "Preach" is a song about youth, money, and love. It's a snapshot into the lives of two successful artists who are living their best lives but are also aware of the pitfalls that can come with that lifestyle.
