Asthma Team
Drake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swear to you Lord
Same dudes used to laugh at me
See me in the CL 6 with Haffa B
They know that money begets money so naturally
Me and Half could blow a couple of stacks hassle free
I'm like fuck y'all haters on behalf on me
'Cause I could flood the city with a staff of three
I'm talking me and two partners in that Caprice
With no copies made I got the master keys
And fast cars, fast women, fast cash and cream
Could mold you rappers like Plasticine
I have to dream, but dog
Me and success are two things you don't wanna find your ass between
(Back against the wall like a plasma screens)
The inside of my wallet is pasture your green
And you are now hanging with the asthma team
Sweetie catch your breath while I smash the scene
I should leave Earth, nothing left to do here
Everyday is Christmas and e'ry night is New Year's
Say whatever, I never been concerned about who hears
Call my town Sparta and I'm coming with two spears
I'm telling you dog, always got the spring collection in fall
I run my bill up making executives calls
And with me, women be building these skeptical walls
But once you slept with one dime man, you slept with them all, uhh
Family, money, and music is all I ever knew
My necklace suffer from depression it's forever blue
Cheer up baby you don't see all this revenue?
I started the game at level two
I'm sayin'
Stop acting like teen girls are my only market
I parallel the Flying Spur Tony park it
And it's cool if you spill suttin' it's only carpet
That's why I get my interior colour only dark shit
Toronto's where you livin' today
And you ain't making records that people are driven to play
I would advise you to really make a move, sooner than later




'Cause these are only the joints that I'm giving away
You feel me?

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Drake is describing his rise to success and how he proved his haters wrong. He acknowledges that people used to laugh at him, but now he is riding around in a CL 6 with his friend Haffa B, indicating that he has achieved a level of wealth and success that his former doubters probably never expected. He explains that money begets money and that he and Haffa B can blow a couple of stacks - or throw around a lot of money - without any trouble. He boldly declares that he can flood the city with a staff of three, which shows his confidence in his own abilities and resources. Drake also mentions material possessions like fast cars, fast women, and fast cash and cream, suggesting that these things have helped him achieve his success.


The lyrics take a darker turn in the second half of the verse, as Drake talks about being backed into a corner like a plasma screen and about the skeptical walls that women build toward him. But he quickly shifts the focus back to his accomplishments, emphasizing that he has had success in family, money, and music, and that he started the game at level two - which could be interpreted as saying that he had a bit of a head start, but still had to work hard to get where he is. He ends the verse by chastising other rappers who only cater to teen girls, and by warning them that he is giving away hits that they should be capitalizing on.


Overall, this verse shows Drake's confidence and bravado, as he talks about his success and asserts his dominance over other rappers. He also hints at the hard work and dedication it took to get to where he is, and at the sacrifices he has made along the way.
