naaah i live in brooklyn too i done never heard woes meanin "my nikkaz" but sht if it is daaaam a nikka been out the loop like a mufcka

This is false

Woe is short for woadie, he's appropriating southern slang, new Orleans slang in this instance.

Nope Drake is not shy about exercising his heartache and despair in his music. Accordingly, the hook from "Know Yourself"—running through the 6 with my woes—might well conjour an image of Sad Aubrey riding through his hometown at 5 AM,replaying old voicemails, or something of that sort. But "woe" may carry a second meaning here:working on excellence. Toronto rapper, producer, and loose OVO Sound affiliate Devontée broke down the meaning behind those three letters in an interview with Noisey. He says:

"Woe is my crew. It stands for 'working on excellence.' It's just my whole brand and my whole movement and my way of life for everyone. I want everyone to work on excellence. So, all my friends are my Woes and I feel anybody working on excellence in life is a Woe in life as well."

So, when Drake says sings—bellows

I understand what the article says, doesn't change the fact that he took southern slang and gave it an acronym.

Miami nikkas say "Jit", if I give it the meaning "justice is temporary", doesn't mean I made up "Jit"

I know what you saying and you got a point but its acronym which its different from woadie

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

why? There are some valid discussions In here. I'm trying to see if there's something I'm missing. Maybe it is dope, and I'm just tripping

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

It ain't like New Orleans ain't make woadie from a west coast term brodie. So, everybody steals Drake just give that word meaning
