Published At: 07 May 2024 , 05:03 AM

Within the progressing rap quarrel between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, pressures have raised to an all-out fight. Kendrick as of late dropped another sensation with "Not Like Us," taking after up on the heels of "Meet the Grahams" fair discharged final night, which was Drake's reaction to Kendrick's "Family Things." This time, Kendrick heightens his accusations, alleging that Drake contains an affinity for more youthful ladies and outright labeling him a pedophile. The single's craftsmanship portrays Drake's house because it might show up on a sex-offender outline.

These cursing verses are conveyed within the moment verse of the track, created by Mustard and Sounwave. Here, Kendrick specifically targets Drake and his related Baka Not Pleasant, who confronted human trafficking charges back in 2014.

Verse

Say, Drake, I hear you like ‘em young
You better not ever go to cell block one
To any bitch that talks to him and they are in love
Just make sure you hide your lil’ sister from him
They tell me Chubbs is the only one that gets your hand-me-downs
And Party at the party, playin' with his nose now
And Baka has a weird case, why is he around?
Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles

Within the third verse, Kendrick predicts Drake's confronting backfire on the West Coast for utilizing AI to imitate 2Pac on his track "Taylor Made Free-form." Lamar clues that he has indeed more individual data that he might unleash in future melodies.

Verse

You think the Bay gon' let you disrespect Pac, nigga?
I think that Oakland show gon' to be your last stop, nigga
Did Cole four, I don’t know why you're still pretendin'
What is the owl? Bird niggas and burnt bitches, go
The audience is not dumb
Shape the stories how you want, hey, Drake, they’re not slow
The rabbit hole is still deep, I can go further, I promise

Within the fourth and last verse, Kendrick broadly questions Drake's Dark personality, a repeating topic in their progressing fight. He draws parallels between Drake and a slave proprietor, blaming him for misusing Atlanta exclusively for budgetary pickup.

Verse

You called Future when you didn’t see the club (Ayy, what?)
Lil Baby helped you get your lingo up (What?)
21 gave you false street cred
The thug made you feel like you had a slime in your head (Ayy, what?)
Quavo said you can be from Northside (What?)
2 Chainz says you're good, but he lied
You run to Atlanta when you need a few dollars
No, you, not a colleague, you a fuckin' colonizer
