Privileged Rappers
Drake & 21 Savage 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)
The lyrics in Drake and 21 Savage's Privileged Rappers take us into their lives as successful rappers who have no patience for those who haven't put in the work. The first verse sets the tone with Drake rapping about his success and the respect he commands. He raps about his shawty's previous boyfriends not even daring to try to step on his toes. The line "Too much respect, I used to hand out CDs before they would buy it" shows that he has been grinding from the bottom and not just relying on his talent to get him to the top. He then ends the verse with "Niggas don't know how I live, but that's cause they live at the Hyatt, ayy", highlighting the fact that he has had to put in the hard work to get where he is.
21 Savage comes in with a hard-hitting flow in the second verse, boldly declaring his distaste for privileged rappers who don't understand the struggle. He raps about having too many guns and going to war with anyone who dares to challenge him. The line "How was they your opps and none of 'em died?" shows his aggressive nature and the fact that he doesn't back down from a fight. He then switches up to question someone who has come to his room at one in the morning, texting suggestive emojis. He catches this person outside of the studio and makes them repeat what they said. The verse ends with him bragging about having intimate relations with a woman in a Maybach and wiping his dick with her bra.
The chorus has the two rappers coming together to share a disdain for privileged rappers who haven't had any success since signing. They talk about how the diamonds on their necklaces hit like a rainbow and how they would like to have sex in both, the bank and the Nine (presumably a bar or club). They end the song with 21 Savage declaring that he doesn't do backends or fronts, signifying that he only deals with money upfront.
