In a parallel vein, 21 Savage builds upon Drake’s narrative by exposing individuals who falsely embrace the street lifestyle, aligning with the overarching theme of authenticity.

Privileged Rappers
Drake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look at me dead in my eyes, I know that you know that a nigga ain't lyin'
Too much respect, all of my shawty BDs, they know not to try it
Too much respect, I used to hand out CDs before they would buy it
Whoa, she love me so much, it seem like she biased
Niggas don't know how I live, but that's 'cause they live at the Hyatt, ayy
4L step team steppin' on shit 'til it's quiet
He brought me the money sealed up, I still had to count it, I cannot just eye it
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, let's have sex in the bank, tell 'em to open the safe
I hate a privileged rapper who don't even know what it take
The diamonds, they hit like a rainbow, that's 'cause the necklace a Frank (purr)
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, let's have sex in the Nines (let's do it)
Breakin' and bendin' her spine (let's do it, let's do it)
I hate a privileged rapper that ain't had a hit since he signed (let's do it)
Niggas be full of excuses, act like they takin' they time (for real, for real)
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Look at me dead in my eyes, you see all the times that I had to go slide (21)
Too many sticks, we go to war with whoever, ain't never been biased (pussy)
Too many sticks, how was they your opps and none of 'em died? (pussy)
Hol' up (21), hol' up (21), hol' up (21)
Why you pull up at one in the morning and sit on the edge of the bed? (For what?)
Textin' emojis, tongue out, eggplant, must've went over her head (21)
Catch him outside of the studio (pussy), make him repeat what he said (pussy, pussy)
Yeah, yeah, let's have sex in the car (on God)
The Maybach came with a bar (21)
I'm wipin' my dick with her bra (21, pew, pew, pew)
Sniped his ass, he got hit in the head from far (pussy)
Opps gets undivided attention, I give them my all (on God)
How you come over to the spot when you know it's your time of the month? (How?)
Make a diss and see how fast you go from the booth to a blunt (pussy)
She say she hungry, I gave her dick for brunch (on God)
Send me my whole fee, I don't do backends and fronts (21)
No, no, no
Let's have sex in the bank, tell 'em to open the safe
I hate a privileged rapper who don't even know what it take
The diamonds, they hit like a rainbow, that's 'cause the necklace a Frank (purr)
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, let's have sex in the Nines (let's do it)
Breakin' and bendin' her spine (let's do it, let's do it)
I hate a privileged rapper that ain't had a hit since he signed (let's do it)
Niggas be full of excuses, act like they takin' they time (for real, for real)
In "Privileged Rappers," Drake speaks to the hypocrisy he sees in the music industry. He opens the song with "Look at me dead in my eyes, I know that you know that a nigga ain't lyin'," indicating his honesty in this statement. He asserts that he has too much respect and his "shawty BDs know not to try it." Drake has a loyal group of supporters who understand the stakes and won't cause trouble. He also mentions that she loves him so much; it seems like she's biased, further illustrating his point that people's biases can cloud their judgment. The privileged rappers he dislikes don't have the same understanding of loyalty and struggle he does. They haven't had to hand out CDs or grind their way up. They also don't have "too many sticks" and aren't willing to go to war with whoever, making them biased and therefore not fit to be involved in the rap lifestyle. He expresses his genuine dislike for these privileged rappers, calling them out for their lack of real-life experience.
Drake then goes on to describe his distaste in privileged rappers having hit songs despite not understanding what it takes to create good music genuinely. The diamonds on their chains are so stunning when they hit the light, making them look like rainbows; however, they don't know the value of the jewelry they wear. The rappers haven't fought their way up and, therefore, don't understand the struggle; they don't have any experience of what it takes to create good music. Drake concludes that these privileged rappers give excuses about why they haven't succeeded, and it appears that they're just dragging their feet. In contrast, he has repeatedly given the group he supports all he's got, which is why the group flourishes. To Drake, it's just about the music, not money or fame.

Drake and 21 have such complimentary flows and deliveries. They are both great in their own ways too but hearing them work together is always a treat. I think the fanbases are generally really similar too which is nice to see likeminded people collide every time they collab. I hope someday I can gather even a tenth of the amount of fans with the perspectives that theses two fan bases have for my own music. Truly unmatched energy🔥
