Stories About My Brother
Drake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Yeah, right back
I walked in the studio, Noel said "I thought that you quit?"
I said "Nah, I'm quittin' again 'cause I started again"
Gotta wait on that
This like the storm before the calm, we'll get to the vacation later
For real
Ayy
Look
This is the decompress before the intermission
Done a lot of postgame talkin', but this one different
I told Lee to put him in the car, but don't pistol whip him
And definitely do not shoot his ass 'til you get permission
People got a heavy misread on my disposition
Talkin' loose, then hit me up after on some "Please, Drake listen, listen"
Energy they bringin' is inconsistent
I got two Virgil Benzes, one that I'm whippin' right now
And the other one, I'm keepin' in mint condition
And niggas bound to slip eventually like they sent permission
Imagine us gettin' our validation from a ex-musician searchin' for recognition
Same story every time, they heckle in repetition
I'm top of the mountain, these niggas still down at base camp, they plannin' they expedition
Y'all the type to catch a charge, head to the deposition
And act like the rapper named after the sex position
But let me tell you 'bout my brother, though
Let me tell you 'bout my brother, though, for real
Let me tell you 'bout my brother
Man, let me tell you 'bout my brother, though
My brother a tool toter, my brother a tombstoner
Diamonds and violence made us bond, we grew closer
Brother a clip loader, my brother a sick soldier
That nigga'll stick it to you for real, he a lint roller
My brother a aim botter, I bought him a Range Rover
My brother a flame thrower
It's like he playin' EDM, that nigga a chain smoker
Niggas want smoke with us, I promise, it's game over
Get your ass twist right here, he a canerower
And then you niggas whine to J Prince, like some grape growers
Man, what the-?
Get outta here with that shit
Let me tell you 'bout my brother, though
Yeah
I mean, enough about me (Conductor)
Let me tell you 'bout my brother, though
'Cause I'll backhand you boys with my writing hand
You niggas do your shootin' on the web, you Spider-Man
My brother robbin' it down to you juniors like Iron Man
My brother make your ace disappear like a slight of hand
My brother carry bundles and extensions like hair stores
It's me, him, and a white ting, we movin' like Paramore
He into some shit that they call internal affairs for
I'm someone he care for, I'm someone he there for
My brother put some holes in your top, you a Air Force
I should charge for interviews, they want me to share more
A ticket just to check in with the boy, like the airport
This the part of the story you wasn't prepared for
Let me tell you 'bout my brother, though
My brother say I'm better than everyone, he biased as fuck
Blood is thicker than water, nigga, his iron is up
And if you keep eyein' me down, trust me, his iron is up
Your last album was buns, you niggas Hawaiian as fuck
Niggas so down bad, they makin' alliances up
Cliquein' up with haters that was thinkin' of signin' to us
Knowin' good and well, that when I drop, they inspired as fuck
Secret admirers too embarrassed, they hide in the cut
CN Towerin' over you niggas, I'm giant as fuck
Wait on whoever to say whatever, they quiet as fuck
The city don't love you like that and they fryin' you up
I can't wait for the day that you choose to retire your stuff
Takin' off the sneakers 'cause you tired of tyin' 'em up
That one day you wake up and tell 'em, "Enough is enough"
That's how you gon' find out you not Kobe Bryant to us
Man, you not Kobe Bryant to us, at all
And if them hoes really love you, then them hoes, they lyin' to us
They say they miss when you got 'em wet and you dryin' 'em up
Also don't doubt that you sent 'em here, and they spyin' on us
Man, either way, nigga, beware of the dog, deep in my character flaws (Conductor)
Humble back in 2012, now I give arrogant bars
I remember Bloor Street with Neeks, we sharin' Lacoste
Now we go for dinner and we joke about sharin' the cost
Got me a ranch in the H, fuck all the carryin' costs
Boy, I'm on top of the cake, just like some caramel sauce
Fuck all the settlin' down, these boys married in-laws
I go for dinner, they wife is there and she starin' across
God forbid I take her and they suffer a terrible loss, yeah
But enough about me
Yeah
In the first part of the song, Drake addresses his critics and talks about the misconceptions people have about him. He acknowledges that people often misunderstand his disposition and speak loosely about him, but then reach out to him afterwards, pleading for his attention. He reflects on the inconsistent energy that some people bring into his life. Drake also boasts about his success, mentioning that he owns two luxury cars, one of which he keeps in mint condition. He suggests that eventually, those who doubt him will slip up and seek his validation.
In the next part of the song, Drake shifts the focus to his brother. He describes his brother as someone who carries tools and is willing to resort to violence if necessary. They share a bond that was formed through their experiences with both diamonds and violence. Drake highlights his brother's skills as a sharpshooter and mentions buying him a Range Rover. He characterizes his brother as a "flame thrower" and compares his actions to those of someone playing electronic dance music and chain-smoking. Drake warns anyone who tries to challenge them that it's game over.
Drake continues to talk about his brother, emphasizing his role as a protector. He suggests that he would physically defend Drake if necessary and describes him as someone who makes problems disappear. He mentions that people want him to share more information in interviews, but he values his privacy. Drake also addresses other artists, criticizing those who form alliances with haters and are inspired by his work. He asserts his own greatness and the fact that the city does not support others the way it supports him.
Towards the end of the song, Drake takes a confrontational tone. He directly addresses someone who he feels is not living up to their potential. He mocks their album, calls them out for making alliances with haters, and accuses them of being jealous and hiding in the shadows. Drake compares himself to Kobe Bryant, suggesting that this person is not living up to his level of greatness. He also questions the loyalty of his admirers, insinuating that some of them are spying on him. Drake ends the song by briefly reflecting on his own success and the material wealth he has attained, before concluding with "enough about me."

Dear Drake, Please allow Conductor Williams to produce an entire album this is flawless
@teamhop
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future!!!!!!!!
