Family Matters Lyrics By Drake

 Family Matters Song

Drake's diss track "Family Matters," released on May 3, 2024, as part of his feud with Kendrick Lamar, quickly grabbed attention with its accompanying music video. Kendrick Lamar didn't wait long to fire back, releasing his own track "Meet the Grahams" just 20 minutes later. According to Peter Barry of Complex, the initial reaction to "Family Matters" was overwhelmingly positive. Fans celebrated the song's sharp lyrics, the hidden jabs at Lamar, and the nostalgic spinny G-Unit medallion featured in the video, seeing it as a major win for Drake.

    Family Matters Lyrics


    Maybe in this song, you shouldn't start by saying
    Nigga, I said it
     I know that you mad
    I've emptied the clip
    over friendlier jabs
    You mentioned my seed, now deal with his dad
    I gotta go bad, I gotta go bad
    Mmm, mmm, yeah,Drop, drop, drop, drop
    Drop a fifty bag for the mob in the spot


    Drop a fifty bag, twenty-nine for the thot
    Uh, I was really, really tryna keep it PG
    I was really, really tryna keep it
     PG

    If you had a set, they'd give your ass a
     DP

    But you civilian gang, in real life, you PC
    You know who really bang a set?
    My nigga YG
    You know who really bang a set?
     My nigga Chuck T

    You know who even bang a set out there is CB
    And, nigga, Cole losin' sleep on this, it ain't me
    You better have some paperwork or that
    shit fake tea
    Can't be rappin' 'bout no rattin' that we can't read
    I mean it's true a nigga
    slimed me for my AP

    Just like how Metro nigga slimed him for his main squeeze
    Out here beggin' for attention, nigga, say please
    Always rappin' like you 'bout to get the slaves freed
    You just actin' like an activist, it's make-believe

    Don't even go back to your hood and plant no money trees
    Say you hate the girls I fuck, but what you really mean?
    I been with Black and white and everything that's in between
    You the Black messiah
    wifin' up a mixed queen

    And hit vanilla cream to help out with your self-esteem
    On some Bobby shit, I wanna know what Whitney need
    All that puppy love was over
    in y'all late teens
    Why you never hold your son and tell him, "Say cheese?"
    We could've left the
     kids out of this, don't blame me
    You a dog and you know it, you just play sweet

    Your baby mama captions always screamin', "Save me"
    You did her dirty all your life, you tryna make peace
    I heard that one of 'em little kids
     might be Dave Free
    Don't make it Dave Free's
    'Cause if your GM is your BM secret BD
    Then this is all makin' plenty fuckin' sense to me
    Ayy, let that shorty breathe
    Shake that ass, bitch
    hands on your knees,Hands on your knees
    hands on your knees

    Shake that ass for Drake, now shake that ass for free
    Yeah, yeah
    Well, not that kind of free, I'm talkin' 'bout my nigga Dave
    Your man a lil' K, we call that
     shit a mini Drac'
    He always said I overlooked him, I was starin' straight
    These bars go over Kenny head
     no matter what I say
    I know you like to keep it short, so let me paraphrase
    Knew it was smoke when Abel hit us with the serenade
    Nigga said, "Uh, uh"
    Almost started reachin' for my waist

    Drop, drop, drop, drop
    Drop a fifty bag for the
     mob in the spot
    Drop a fifty bag, twenty-nine for the thot
    Uh, I was really, really tryna keep it—

    Yeah
    Let me stop playin' around, let me take this shit serious, like
    Niggas is a joke, I take it serious, though
    Yeah, look

    If Drake shooters doing TikToks, nigga
    Realest shooter in your gang, that's P's brother, y'all ain't getting shit shot, nigga
    Can't listen to the stick talk in falsetto, save it for a
    hip-hop nigga
    You don't even be at home, dog, you a souvenir-out-the-gift-shop nigga
    Still mad about that one ho, we ain't even fuck, I just lip-locked with her
    I get active when it's war time, I ain't even really let my
    dick drop, nigga

    What the fuck I heard Rick drop, nigga? Talkin' somethin' 'bout a nose job, nigga
    Ozempic got a side effect of jealousy and doctor never told y'all niggas
    Put a nigga in the bars, let a nigga rot, kind of like your old job, nigga
    House sittin' on some land, but it's out where
     no one even really know y'all niggas
    Bitches gotta drive two hours 'fore you pay 'em just to give a blowjob, nigga
    Must've snorted up a snowball
    'Cause my last record deal was four hundred M's, these days, that's a low ball, nigga

    Ayy
    Who's next on the list?
    Which one of my so-called niggas,Which one of my so-called niggas
    Which one of my so-called niggas need a shell from the clip?
    Always knew I had to smoke y'all niggas
    Good kid, m.A.A.d city van, we'll pop the latch and let the door slide
    Tears runnin' down my cheek, laughin'
    at you pussies dyin', it's a war cry

    Weeknd music gettin' played in all the spots where boys got a little more pride
    That's why all your friends dippin' to Atlanta, payin' just to find a tour guide
    Abel, run your fuckin' bread, need to buy some more chains for some more guys
    Let me find another street nigga
    I can take to the game courtside
    Let me get a used Ferrari for a rapper, take the nigga on a horse ride
    Anything to take the spotlight off the fact the boss is a drugged-out lil' punk sissy from the Northside

    Rakim talkin' shit again
    Gassed 'cause you hit my BM first, nigga, do the math, who I was hittin' then?
    I ain't even know you rapped still 'cause they only talkin' 'bout your 'fit again
    Probably gotta have a kid again 'fore you think of droppin' any shit again
    Even when you do drop, they gon' say you should've modeled 'cause it's mid again
    Smokin' Fenty 'bout it, should've put you on the first one, tryna get it in
    Ask Fring if this a good idea the next time
    you cuddled in that bed again

    She'll even tell you leave the boy alone 'fore you get your head split again
    Pluto shit make me sick to my stomach, we ain't never really been through it
    Leland Wayne, he a fuckin' lame, so I know
    he had to be an influence
    These niggas had a plan and they finally found a way to rope you into it
    Two separate albums dissin', I just did a Kim to it, nigga, skim through it
    Me and Savage had the hoes drippin' wet at shows, almost had to swim to it
    K-Dot shit is only hittin' hard when Baby
    Keem put his pen to it

    Ross callin' me the white boy and the shit kind of got a ring to it
    'Cause all these rappers wavin' white flags while the whole fuckin' club sing to it
    Murder scene on your man tonight, then come to the vigil with the candlelight
    Body after fuckin' body and you know
    Rick readin' my Miranda rights
    I'm goin' on vacation now, hope next time, y'all plan it right
    'Cause you gotta pay for sayin' my name, guess now niggas understand the price
    Nigga, what? (6ix)


    Ayy
    Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a Grammy right now
    Where is your uncle at? 'Cause I wanna talk to the man of the house
    West Coast niggas do fades, right? Come get this ass whoopin', I'm handin' 'em out
    You wanna take up for Pharrell? Then come get his legacy out of my house
    A cease and desist is for hoes, can't listen to lies that come
     out of your mouth
    You called the Tupac estate and begged 'em to sue me and get that shit down
    I'm losin' perspective on beef, Boi-1da send beat and I'll kill you for fun
    Your daddy got robbed by Top, you Stunna and Wayne, like father, like son
    Anthony set up the plays, Kojo be chargin' you double for nothin'
    They shook about what I'ma say, but textin' your phone like, "We already won"
    You tell me what I shouldn't say, but fuck it, my nigga
     it's already done
    We already know it's a twenty-v-one, we already know why you went number one
    It's clearly because of The Boy, the honorable thing is to give me the loot
    You right about "Fuck the big three," it's only Big D, and there's video proof
    Our sons should go play at the park
    two lightskin kids, that shit would be cute
    Unless you don't want to be seen with anyone that isn't Blacker than you
    We get it, we got it

    The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
    We get that you like to put gin in your juice
    We get that you think that you Bishop in Juice
    When you put your hands on your girl, is it self-defense 'cause she bigger than you?
    Your back is up against the curb, you diggin' for dirt, should be diggin' for proof
    Why did you move to New York? Is it 'cause you livin' that bachelor life?
    Proposed in 2015, but don't wanna
     make her your actual wife
    I'm guessin' this wedding ain't happenin', right?
    'Cause we know the girls
    that you actually like
    Your darkest secrets are comin' to light
    It's all on your face like what happened to Mike
    Oh shit, it's all makin' sense, maybe I'm Prince and you actually Mike
    Michael was prayin' his features would change so
    people believe that he's actually white

    Top would make you do features for change, get on pop records and rap for the whites
    And wait, you say your brother Jermaine, but you wanted him to stay out of the light
    Oh shit, just follow me, right? 'Cause nothin' you sayin' could bother me, right?

    I get off the plane and nothing has changed, I head to Delilah with all of my ice
    Head to Delilah with all of my ice, head to Delilah with all of my ice
    This shit gotta be over by now for anyone out here that's calling it, right?
    You're dead,You're dead, you're dead

    There's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to hide, you know what I mean
    They hired a crisis management team to clean
    up the fact that you beat on your queen

    The picture you painted ain't what it seem, you're dead
