Darkness into blackness
There and back, it's always black
Oh-ah, it screeched across the sky

In the opening lines, Drake sets a dark, moody tone. The idea of traveling in darkness suggests a journey through struggles or challenges. By repeating "black," he emphasizes a feeling of hopelessness or confusion. This imagery creates a stark contrast to the confident, carefree attitude he displays later in the song.

Fuck the bitch, I make her sweat, huh, I'ma die by my respect, huh
I put a check up on my neck, life check ya in the head
I signed for a couple milli', you only touched a hundred thou'

I'm countin' up money for fun
And I'm poppin' these Percs just for fun (The E)

Verse 2

Look, comin' live from the,
Comin' live from the one out the five
Comin' live from the three, two time
Whole gang fucked her eastbound and they down just like Danny McBride

This verse brings a more personal touch. Drake references his crew and hometown, grounding his boastfulness in a sense of loyalty. The mention of Danny McBride adds a humorous flair, symbolizing camaraderie and shared experiences with his friends.

Why I always see your dawgs in the city?
Think your boys left some soldiers behind
Just like the J, you boys try to vibe (I-I-I, )
That ain't gon' fly, nope

I just got off the phone with my demon and he tell me that I'm gon' win
I can't be wasting time on the 'net, I just be running up a fuckin' check
