Drake & 21 Savage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is all God's doing man you can't plan it
But if the devil's in the details then I'm satanic
'Bout to take over your city and you can't stand it
My accountant say you sinking like the Titanic
David Blaine last summer man you had to vanish
I get the hits like somebody pitching underhanded
Really when she get to talking I don't understand it
You ain't on it right away, you had to wait on niggas
Man I'm only twenty-nine have some patience with us
Plus I never met nobody from my label, nigga
I just pop up with the music then they pay a nigga, yeah
Shit ain't been the same like before
I still love it but I used to love it more
FaceTime with my shawty on tour
And she texting purple hearts 'cause she know that we at war, yeah
Niggas keep reaching and dissin'
Can't afford mistakes, not on this end
Make me call my bros for assistance
You gon' make me call my bros for assistance
Niggas keep reaching and dissin'
Put me in a fucked up position (yeah)
You gon' make me call my bros, for assistance (21)
Make me call my bro
Baby I'm a savage, I ain't romantic
When I come around these rappers niggas start to panic
And they pockets going under like the Titanic
Got some head last night and it was outstanding
They was hatin' on me then and they hatin' now (hatin' now)
She was playing with me then but she waitin' now (21, 21)
Used to sleep inside a den I got acres now (mansion)
I was fighting niggas then but I'm spraying now (blastin')
I-I don't pay no mind to no sneak diss (no)
I won't spend a dime on a freak bitch (broke)
Niggas takin' cheap shots on some cheap shit (21)
They the type to stand in line for some free shit (broke bitch)
Babygirl gon' suck it 'til her jaws locked (suck it up)
She gon' make me put my bitch on call block (fuckin' up)
We the ones poppin', we the ones shoppin' (21)
We the one droppin', niggas we the ones (we the ones)
They the ones duckin' when them heaters come (21, 21)
You that nigga snitchin' on your people, huh? (shh)
21 Savage A.K.A. The Reaper, huh? (21)
Pussy niggas gettin' shot for all that reachin', huh? (ya dig?)
Niggas keep reaching and dissin' (shut the fuck up)
Can't afford mistakes, not on this end (can't afford them)
Make me call my bros for assistance (21)
You gon' make me call my bros for assistance
Niggas keep reaching and dissin' (hold up)
Put me in a fucked up position (21)
Make me call my bros, for assistance
Make me call my bro (
I don't need love I'm the GOAT
I just hit the beat and float
And I'm selling out arenas, but you putting on a show
I been tryna change life around for everyone I know
'Cause if I don't share the wealth
Then how the fuck we supposed to grow?
Mom's stressed there's a lot of things we need
Chain smoking in the house it's hard to breathe
I used to have to hit my T's with Febreeze
Jordan pull up in the TL now I'm cheese
I'ma turn this TSX to a Benz soon
I'ma see a lot of blessings for my friends soon
Hundred-fifty inch screen in my bedroom
6'1" man a nigga need some leg room
Shit ain't been the same like before
They ain't even wanna look up at the score
Face Time with my shawty on tour
And she texting purple hearts 'cause she know we at war, yeah
Niggas keep reaching and dissin'
Can't afford mistakes, not on this end
Make me call my bros for assistance
You gon' make me call my bros for assistance
Niggas keep reaching and dissin'
Put me in a fucked up position
Make me call my bros, for assistance
Make me call my bro
Drake and 21 Savage's "Sneakin'" is a meditative song that is predominantly about their fame and how they've learnt to cope with it as they navigate through their careers. In the opening line of the first verse, they acknowledge that their success is by the hand of God and beyond their control. However, they also recognize that the devil is in the minute details, and so they'll have to channel their inner demons to achieve their goals. The two talk about their ability to take over cities and make the haters nervous. In 21 Savage's verse, he raps about how he's not romantic and not to be messed with, while Drake raps about his love for his shawty while on tour and learning to cope with the changes that come with fame.
However, throughout the song, both of them deal with clout-chasing rappers trying to ride their wave and diss them for clout. "Make me call my bros for assistance," is a repeated line in the chorus that highlights the need for their tight-knit companionship to stay safe in the rap game. The tension in the song builds gradually, and the beat drops deeply during Drake's last verse in which he addresses how he's changing the game courtesy of his talent, and not just his industry connections.
The song has an interesting story behind its release. The song was first played by Drake during his 30th birthday party at LA's Delilah in October 2016. It was played with only 21 Savage's verse, however, leading many to believe it was a 21 Savage song featuring Drake.
Despite rumours of tension between the two rappers, Sneakin' was the first collaboration between Drake and 21 Savage.
The track debuted at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in November 2016, before falling off the chart the following week, making it a one-week Hot 100 entry.
The music video for Sneakin' was released on YouTube on November 13, 2016, and was shot using a vintage camera, giving the visual a grainy and old school feel.
The video for Sneakin' features the two rappers flossing their chains and performing the track in different settings, such as a closed diner.
The line "David Blaine last summer, man, you had to vanish" refers to an incident that occurred between David Blaine and Drake regarding a modified version of magician David Blaine's "bullet catch" trick.
Since its release, the song has become a popular TikTok track, with users creating dance videos to it.
The song was produced by London on da Track, who has since become one of the most in-demand producers in hip-hop.
The chords for Sneakin' are B Major, F# Major, G# Minor, and E Major.
Overall, "Sneakin'" by Drake and 21 Savage is a thoughtful meditation on the trials of fame, the haters that come with it, and the importance of close-knit companionships to stay safe in the rap game.
