None of these battle verses fukkin wit that Cole shyt. Got anything else?It's survival, survival
I think somebody lyin'
Smell somebody lyin'
I don't see no fire
Off-white Sunseeker at the Marina
fukk a Phantom, I like to buy yachts when I get the fever
Wine cooler spill on my white t-shirt, the sightseer
Trifecta, money, morals, and culture, that's my leisure
My visa, passport tatted, that's your hub in Ibiza
Lucalis dwellings in Brooklyn, just to book me some pizza
Who could reach us? Only God could teleport this type of freedom
God, ah, my confession is yours, but
Who am I if I don't go to war?
There's opportunity when livin' with loss
I discover myself when I fall short
Raise my hands to a fallen sky, I fantasize
Me jumpin' planets immortalized, I correspond
Three angels watchin' me all the time
Put my children to sleep with a prayer then close my eyes
Definition of peace
Tell me who gon' stop me? I come from love
Estelle cover my heart, then open me up
Remember when picked up a pen, lyrics that I can trust
Timid soul, stare in the mirror, askin' where I was from
Often, I know this type of power is gon' cost
But I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star
The mannerisms of Raphael, I can heal and give you art
But the industry's cooked as I pick the carcass apart
Yeah, somebody's lyin', I could see the vibes on Ak'
Even he lookin' compromised, let's peel the layers back
Ain't no brownie points for beating your chest, harassin' Ant
fukkin' with good people make good people go to bat
Conspiracies about Cash, dog? That's not even the leak
Find the jewels like Kash Doll, I just need you to think
Are you finally ready to play have-you-ever? Let's see
Have you ever thought that OVO is workin' for me?
Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person
Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it
Can't Toosie Slide up out of this one, it's just gon' resurface
Every dog gotta have his day, now live in your purpose
It was fun until you start to put money in the streets
Then lost money, 'cause they came back with no receipts
I'm sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace
But war ready if the world is ready to see you bleed
The Elohim, KTW
Know you can't sleep, these images trouble you
Know the wires in your circle should puzzle you
If you were street smart, then you woulda caught that your entourage is only to hustle you
A hunnid nikkas that you got on salary, and twenty of 'em want you as a casualty
And one of them is actually, next to you
And two of them is practically tired of your lifestyle, just don't got the audacity to tell you
But let me tell you some game, 'cause I can see you, my lil' homie
You playin' dirty with propaganda, it blow up on ya
You're playin' nerdy with Zack Bia and Twitter bots
But your reality can't hide behind Wi-Fi
Your lil' memes is losin' steam, they figured you out
The forced opinions is not convincin', y'all need a new route
It's time that you look around on who's around you
Before you figure that you're not alone
Ask what Mike would do
>>>>>>>>>>> fold verse with 10x the layers and meaning

Stop crying,its been like this. You didnt mind when it was Nas and Pac stans. The issue is how low youve decided to stoop in your stanning. Pick yourself up and have some damn self respect. Your better than this
Think back and remember who you are king
Kendrick wasn't playing games with Cole like Drake was. Drake had no reason to diss Cole, he did it because he was angry Cole didn't take sides in his personal beef with Kendrick.
Cole was rambling about make believe shyt
lol.
A verse doesnt have to be about something to be a dope ass verse. When it comes to bars, metaphors, skills, flow, cadence, Cole's Pi verse is light years ahead of anything kendrick dropped in eons.Cole was rambling about make believe shyt
Best he got is tinder, basketball, and disassociated street bars
6:16 is just better written. Dot tells a coherent story from beginning to end while switching between drake and his POV. He's calling back to the burial alive interlude to bring the beef full circle.
The verse is better cause it's actually about something. It features real people who are portrayed in a meaningful way. The difference with cole is he doesn't speak on anybody in his verse in a meaningful way. He talks about "angelic souls" being victim to the streets but doesn't actually flesh them out. Contrast with kendrick who does the same but it carries more weight when he says
"Three angels watchin' me all the time
Put my children to sleep with a prayer then close my eyes
Definition of peace"
That's good writing. Don't know how you can deny that
It can be interpreted in multiple ways. Each emphasizing a different message that ties into the main concept of the record.
No matter who you interpret the three angels to be, they matter to the verse as a whole. Whereas coleus attempt at a similar thing is just a rhyme scheme. Not a story or picture painted with words
if that nikka on Kendrick new album, Aubrey gon have to pull up on dem nikkaz.
Dude really out there trying to compare this nikka to a rapper of Kendrick caliber...someone that mastered several rapping styles.
