One of Drake's boys explained the term "Woe":

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.

At this point if you got anything overly negative to say about the boy Aubrey it can't be centered around his worth as an artist or MC. If it is, you a hatin ass fakkit straight up.
I'm convinced these dudes don't have any friends of value, experiences of value, or opportunities of value.

Aubrey is making that Post-2000 Condo Success Music :wow:

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
