Portland
Drake Lyrics

Murda on the beat, so it's not nice
The producer makes beats that are serious and should not be slept on

Yeah, my side girl got a 5S with the screen cracked Still hit me back right away, better not never hesitate
Even though Drake's side girl has a broken phone, she still responds to his messages quickly and expects others to do the same

Don't come around thinkin' you gettin' saved Tryna show the dogs brighter days, got a torch tryna light the way
Don't expect Drake to save you, he's focused on leading his team to brighter days and guiding them towards success

Biting everybody which is ironic 'cause your next album probably won't ever see the light of day Half assed but you let 'em down But I guess that's how you nigga's gettin' down
Drake calls out artists who copy others but fail to put in the effort themselves, resulting in disappointing albums

I'm so high up I'm like, how is nigga's really gettin' down? I could never have a kid then be out here still kiddin' around
Drake questions how people can live trying to be something they're not while he focuses on being the best version of himself, not taking anything for granted

Boys playin' around, where you really wanna take it now? I got a hundred fifty thousand dollars for an after party and I gave it to the killas just to break it down
Drake has no time for games and instead is focused on investing in his team for their future success

Bring us up, I never take us down But if you bring me up then they might take you down Fake fuck with me back then but it's gettin hard for you to fake it now
Drake will uplift his people but warns others that they might bring themselves down by associating with him, and he can see through fake people who only care about his success now that he's famous

Fuck being rich when I'm forty, man, I'm tryna make it now Hell nah Never let these nigga's ride your wave Nope, no way, nah
Drake is focused on success now rather than waiting till he's older, and he warns others not to piggyback off his success

Young nigga, I invented you Ike Turner with the left hand Griselda Blanco with the trap moves Gangland with the right hand
Quavo boasts about his position in the industry, comparing himself to powerful leaders who were known for their grit and power

Undertaker with the tattoos Never listen to the class rules Switch it up would be the last move (Let's go)
Quavo is rebellious, not following rules and doing things his own way, and is always ready to switch things up when needed

I spent a fifty on the chain (Racks) You spent your last fifty (Ugh, cash) I got the keys to the streets (Keys) You got the key to defeat (Defeated)
Quavo is financially wealthy and connected, while others struggle to even get by

Throwin' dead pres in my living room Takin' shots, feelin' bulletproof
Drake is living a luxurious life with money everywhere, and feels invincible

Out in Portland tryna get in her organs No I did not sign with Jay, but I still send a Tidal wave
Drake is focused on pursuing women in Portland but is also letting others know he's not signed to Jay-Z's Tidal music but is still making a significant impact

I got the keys to the warzone (Brrrapt) You got the key to the bees (Ugh)
Quavo is powerful and has control over his environment, while others are weak and unimportant

It's lit at the crib, you could stay, me and Drake kick like Kid N' Play The way that she servin' that cake, I gotta sit back and digest
Quavo and Drake enjoy hanging out and having a good time, and Quavo is impressed with the way his girl is performing in the bedroom

Free Mase' me about the bracelets Don't hit us askin' what the wave is
Quavo is focused on his own issues and doesn't want to waste energy on people who don't understand his success

Gettin' loose, off Henny rock and Henny Goose Ocean deep in my swimming pool Taking shots, feeling bulletproof Flood my Rollie, told my bitch, "let's go snorkelin'"
Drake is living the carefree party lifestyle, enjoying the good things and living it up in his mansion

Yep, I might just go get the fade buy the du-rag and just tie the waves I guess, fuck the fuck shit, I'm biased I mix, double the cup with Nitrous
Drake has a unique style that others may try to copy, but he's being himself and getting high with his double-cup

Michael Phelps with the swim moves (Skrrt, skrrt, oh) Michael Jordan with the tennis shoes (Skrrt, Skrrt, oh)
Michael Phelps was fast in the water, and Michael Jordan was fast on the court, so Drake is comparing himself positively to them in his own field
