With Lil Yachty on production, Drake employs repetition multiple times throughout the song. This repetition serves to create a catchy harmony along with the beat. Similar to his “What’s Next,” Drake repeats “okay” multiple times, but in a different tone than the questioning one seen on that song. He also repeats similar sentences on the same rhyme scheme when confessing his sexual admiration to his new girl.
Although many fans speculated the presence of Future (aka Pluto) as a feature, Drake only featured Lil Yachty’s ad-libs throughout the song.
What Would Pluto Do
Drake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I been out the way in the cut, it's been a minute (been a minute)
Workin' on the album, now it's finished
Last time I saw her, she was fuckin' with my nigga
So the question is, the question is
What would Pluto do? He'd fuck the ho, so I did it (yeah, yeah)
What would Pluto do? He'd fuck the ho, so I did it (yeah, yeah)
What would Pluto do? He definitely fuckin' on this ho, ayy
Wigglin' back into my old ways, ayy
Bunch of sedatives, hypnotics in my system, okay
Life is goin' just how I predicted, okay
Droppin' two Cialis in her liquid, okay
I ain't got a strap, I gotta risk it, okay
Baby girl, Adonis need a sister, okay
And my baby mama out the picture, okay
Think I'm 'Luminati 'cause I'm rich, well okay
Diamonds in the sky
Put your face down, ass in the air
Two cups stuffed, ayy, bussin' off pill
Keep our shit trill, crack a new seal
New Rolls, bought it for the thrill
Too lazy to even change out the wheel
Yeah, thought they knew my body, guess they don't
Thought they knew my body, guess they don't, ayy
Thought they knew my body, guess they
Ayy, guess they don't
I'm geekin' off of my pride (yeah, yeah)
Lost my Sprite deal 'cause Wayne kept pourin' fives
You know I'm beefin' with much older guys (much older guys)
'Fore I catch up with them, they'll probably
Ayy, what, R.I.P. them fuck niggas (damn, what)
What, really hate a rap nigga
Let's not even talk about them fuck niggas, fuck them
Hit my line talkin' about what's up, well, what's up then?
Last time I saw you, you was talkin' 'bout reduction
Lookin' at you now, I see you ain't get rid of
Lookin' at you now, I see you ain't get rid of nothin'
Where you get that jeans from? Who sewed the buttons?
'Cause that shit still poppin' out the front and the back
That shit still poppin' out the, damn
That shit came poppin' out them jeans like a ghost
Girl, you gotta pop that on me like a Coke
Swear I wanna crack behind your back like a joke
Swear I wanna lift you up high like your hopes
Swear I wanna tear your box out like a coach
Get inside and bend a dick just like the pope
Girl, you got me begging for a ten, like I'm broke
Girl, I want us hangin' out in the summer like a coat
Girl, I wanna slide in your box like a vote
Tryna have you comin' out your shell like the yolk
But I heard that you fuckin' with a nigga that I know (okay, so?)
Damn, okay ('kay)
I been out the way in the cut, it's been a minute (been a minute)
Workin' on the album, now it's finished (yeah, it's done)
Last time I saw her, she was fuckin' with my nigga
So the question is (yeah), the question is (yeah)
What would Pluto do? He'd fuck the ho, so I did it (yeah, yeah)
What would Pluto do? He'd fuck the ho, so I did it (yeah, yeah)
What would Pluto do? He definitely fuckin' on this ho
(Yeah, yeah)
In "What Would Pluto Do," Drake reflects on his past actions and the consequences of his choices. The song explores themes of infidelity, betrayal, and the blurred lines between loyalty and desire. Drake begins by acknowledging his absence and reclusive nature, stating that he has been out of sight but still focused on his music. However, he also reveals that he is aware of a previous encounter with a woman who was involved with someone close to him. Here, the question arises: What would Pluto, an alter ego or a symbol of uninhibited desire, do in this situation? Drake answers this question with a repeated refrain, implying that he followed his desires and engaged with the woman despite the circumstances.
As the song progresses, Drake delves deeper into his mindset and past experiences. He admits to slipping back into old habits, consumed by sedatives and hypnotics, indicating escapism through substance use. Despite this, Drake expresses a self-awareness that his actions align with his predictions and desires. He also hints at his sexual exploits, mentioning drugs dropped in a woman's drink and taking unnecessary risks. Drake even mentions his son, Adonis, and his desire for him to have a sister, indicating a complex personal life that intertwines with his public persona.
The lyrics switch focus to Drake's success and the perception of him by others. He mentions his wealth and fame as potential reasons for people to associate him with secret societies like the Illuminati. Drake contrasts his extravagant displays of wealth, such as diamonds in the sky and a new Rolls-Royce, with his laziness to change a simple car part, implying a disconnect between image and personal effort. He expresses frustration with those who think they understand him, emphasizing their lack of knowledge about his true self.
In the latter half of the song, Drake addresses his conflicts with rival artists, particularly mentioning Lil Wayne and the impact of their disagreements on his Sprite endorsement deal. He also disapproves of several other rap artists, vehemently stating his dislike for them. Furthermore, Drake enters a more personal territory by questioning a woman's choice in fashion and criticizing her appearance. He references popping buttons on her jeans and judgmentally scrutinizes her body. Despite his harsh tone, Drake expresses a desire to be intimate with her, using explicit imagery.
Overall, "What Would Pluto Do" explores Drake's personal experiences, desires, and conflicts, showcasing his introspective and vulnerable side while also revealing elements of his public persona.
