Wu-Tang Forever
Drake Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, uh, uh, ah

I just love when I'm with you, yeah, this shit is on ten
We used to be friends, girl, and even back then
You would look at me with no hesitation and you'd tell me baby, it's yours (it's yours)
Nobody else's, yeah, this shit belong to nobody, it's yours (it's yours)
Nobody else's, yeah, this shit belong to nobody and that
What made me think about the game, girl

And how I switched it up with a new thang
Young nigga came through on his Wu-Tang
And nowadays when I ask about who got it, they say it's yours (it's yours)
Nobody else's, yeah, this shit belong to nobody, it's yours
Nobody else's, yeah, this shit belong to nobody, it's yours (it's yours)
It's yours, it's yours, it's yours, that's for sure, that's for sure, yeah
(It's yours, it's yours, it's yours)
It's yours, it's yours, it's yours, that's for sure, that's for sure
(It's yours, it's yours, it's yours, it's yours)

How you feel about, coming home with a, nigga for the night?
If you nervous, hit the lights, I know we only fucking out of spite
'Cause your man don't do you right, do you right, I could fuck you so good
Then I hit you with the 9 a.m. in Dallas who you like, baby, who you like

Machine gun raps for all my niggas in the back
Stadium packed, just glad to see the city on the map
I just gave the city life, it ain't about who did it first
It's about who did it right, niggas looking like, "Preach"
Open cases on me for a half a million each
I find peace knowing that it's harder in the streets
I know, luckily I didn't have to grow there
I would only go there 'cause there's niggas that I know there
I don't know what's getting into me
I just like the rush when you see your enemy somewhere in the club
And you realize he just not in a position to reciprocate your energy
You ain't ever worried cause he's not who he pretends to be
People like Mazin who was a best friend to me
Start to become a distant memory
Things change in that life and this life started lacking synergy
And fucking with me mentally, I think it's meant to be, yeah
Paranoid, always rolling with my mothafuckin' boys
But you gotta understand when it's yours
They don't really leave your ass with a mothafuckin' choice, man

Ah, I just love when I'm with you, yeah, this shit is on ten
We used to be friends, girl, and even back then
You would look at me with no hesitation and you'd tell me baby, it's yours (it's yours)
Nobody else's, yeah, this shit belong to nobody, it's yours (it's yours)
Nobody else's, yeah, this shit belong to nobody and that
What made me think about the game, girl
And how I switched it up with a new thang
Young nigga came through on his Wu-Tang
And nowadays when I ask about who got it, they say it's yours (it's yours)
Nobody else's, yeah, this shit belong to nobody, it's yours
Nobody else's, yeah, this shit belong to nobody, it's yours
It's yours, it's yours, it's yours, that's for sure, that's for sure, yeah
(It's yours, it's yours, it's yours)
It's yours, it's yours, it's yours, that's for sure, that's for sure
(It's yours, it's yours, it's yours, it's yours)

How you feel about?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Drake's "Wu-Tang Forever" are filled with themes of possessiveness, love, and power. The song begins with Drake declaring his love for his partner and how he enjoys being with her because everything feels perfect around her. He reminisces about their friendship and how she always used to tell him that everything is his, and no one else can claim it. He then talks about how he has adapted to a new lifestyle and now has come into power, juxtaposing it with the Wu-Tang Clan's reputation for being powerful and thought-provoking. In his lyrics, he asserts that he has taken over the rap game, and now, when people talk about who owns it, they say it's him that owns it, and there is no one else involved in the equation.

Drake also talks about the complexity of his relationships, where he admits to sleeping with his partner out of spite because her man doesn't treat her right, but he assures her that he can make her feel good. He talks about his rise to fame and how he has brought life to his city, and it's not essential to be the first one to do so. He is just grateful that it's happening now, thanks to him. Towards the end of the song, he talks about how things change with time, and friends become strangers. But he acknowledges that the bond he has with his boys is irreplaceable and that he is always going to stick by them.

I just gave the city life, it ain't about who did it first
I gave the city its energy and vitality; it's not about who was the first to do it

It's about who did it right, niggas looking like, "Preach"
It's about who did it correctly, and my friends look at me in agreement

Open cases on me for a half a million each
I have multiple legal cases against me, each for millions of dollars

I find comfort in knowing that life is even more challenging outside of my luxurious lifestyle

I know, luckily I didn't have to grow there
Fortunately, I didn't have to grow up in those challenging environments

I would only go there 'cause there's niggas that I know there

I am not worried about my enemy because he is not authentic or genuine

People like Mazin who was a best friend to me
Friends like Mazin, who was once close to me, come to mind

Start to become a distant memory
Those past friendships start to feel like a thing of the past

Things change in that life and this life started lacking synergy
As our lifestyles change, it becomes challenging to find compatibility between our lives

And fucking with me mentally, I think it's meant to be, yeah
Dealing with these changes and complications is emotionally taxing, but I believe this is just part of my destiny

Paranoid, always rolling with my mothafuckin' boys
I am always on edge and surrounded by my close friends for protection

But you gotta understand when it's yours
You have to understand what is truly yours and what belongs to someone else

They don't really leave your ass with a mothafuckin' choice, man
Sometimes, circumstances force you into a situation where there is no other choice but to act a certain way
