Drake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why they make it sound like I'm still hung up on you?
That could never be
Gyal can't run me
Better him than me
Better it's not me
I'm anti, I'm anti
Yeah, and the sex was average with you
Okay, I'm auntie like your daddy's sister
Auntie like a family picture
And I had way badder bitches than you, TBH
Yeah, that man, he still with you, he can't leave
Y'all go on vacation, I bet it's Antilles
Let me stop
You know what? Fuck it, let me go
What? Ayy, what? Ayy, what? Ayy
Girl, you make me wanna cuff you like the law, huh
Girl, you make me wanna work you like the job, ayy
I know you a cat, but can your pussy do the dog?
Let's go pound for pound, I'm in Europe
Chrome Heart Culli', I had it imported
Got in my feelings, I had to record it
I never met a bitch that wasn't for it
Don't pay for pussy, I tip for the service
Let's keep it frank, I just got dessert
I'm in the G-Wagen Maybach
Just like some currency, baby, they had to convert it
I heard your bank account is on stuck
How can you keep it buck if you ain't got no bucks?
How can you keep it a hundred if you ain't got hundreds around
'Cause you stackin' 'em up?
You niggas some pussy, for real
You niggas some sissy, for real
Virginia, I pull up and chill
You know you can't come where I stay
'Fore you get caught on a date
'Fore you get put on a plate, ah
'Fore you get slid on like skates
'Fore I get turned on like bass
I know that look on they face
Don't tell me you're scared of Lil' Drake
Don't tell me you're scared of Lil' Aubrey
My niggas is crazy, Wallahi
Don't even know how we escape
The chain on her neck is a A
And she got a lot that she need
So she gotta drop to her knees
Then she can go shoppin' for free
I got up with a opp at the mall
That nigga was coppin' a plea
Out the country, I link with OZ
Spendin' money ain't foreign to me
Y'all don't do that shit more than me
Y'all don't do this shit more than me
He might take you on trips and he might have some hits
But, baby, not more than me
He might be at the trap and order some ones
But ain't throwin' more than me
What? Ayy, what? Ayy, what? Ayy
Girl, you make me wanna cuff you like the law, huh
Girl, you make me wanna work you like the job, ayy
I know you a cat, but can your pussy do the dog?
In the song "Fear of Heights" by Drake, the lyrics delve into Drake's mentality and mindset towards a past relationship. He starts by expressing his frustration with people assuming that he is still hung up on his ex-partner, stating that it could never be the case. He asserts his independence and confidence, claiming that no woman can control or manipulate him. Drake takes pride in the fact that he is anti-commitment and anti-involvement with his ex, highlighting that he had experienced better relationships in the past. He also subtly suggests that the man his ex is currently with is not on his level, mentioning their average sex life and predicting that their vacation would lack excitement in comparison to what he has experienced.
As the song progresses, Drake changes his tone and expresses his attraction towards the woman he is addressing. He compares his desire for her to wanting to be in a committed relationship ("cuff you like the law") and working hard for her attention and affection ("work you like the job"). The lyrics become more explicit as he playfully asks if her sexual prowess matches up to his expectations, using the metaphor of a cat and a dog.
Drake then shifts gears in the second half of the song, bragging about his wealth and success. He mentions driving a luxury car, buying expensive designer items, and not needing to pay for sexual encounters. He emphasizes his ability to afford the finer things in life and insinuates that his bank account is substantial. Drake asserts his dominance and questions others' authenticity, suggesting that they lack the financial means to keep up with him. He ends the song by asserting his reputation and influence, warning others not to underestimate him or be afraid of him. He asserts that his presence and stature should not intimidate them.
Overall, "Fear of Heights" showcases Drake's self-confidence and assertiveness in asserting his independence from past relationships and his ability to attract women. The lyrics also reveal his material success and the importance he places on financial prowess.

Then she can go shopping without paying
I got up with a opp at the mall
I confronted an enemy at the mall
That nigga was coppin' a plea
That guy was making excuses
Out the country, I link with OZ
Outside the country, I connect with OZ
Spendin' money ain't foreign to me
Spending money is not unfamiliar to me
