through something similar not only
because him and me are on a very similar
Scorpio
wavelength but also because if Drake did
get a restful night's sleep last night
one would think that he would have had
more to offer today other than maybe an
Instagram uh story post or a TMZ
quote uh but you know that you can't
really

towel it's it's starting to look like
that might need to happen

writers song-wise wise barwise Kendrick
is still outpacing them Kendrick still
has more to
say even with all the writers Kendrick
is still saying
more and you know while I did think
there were some pretty nasty bars that
need to be responded to on Family Ties
like Drake also spent a good deal of
that track beefing with people who he
shouldn't be focusing on at this point
