Yeah All you self-promoters are janky We established like the Yankees This whole fuckin' game thankless We movin' militant but somehow you the one tankin' No limit to where I can take it And you know me as a Cris' bottle sender, check picker-upper I thought we looked out for one another Saw us all as brothers in the struggle, too blessed to be humble I guess it's different in the city I come from All the sudden I got people showing how much they truly resent me They whole demeanor just spells envy, they tryna tempt me The higher I get, the less they accept me Even had the OG's tryna press me, ha-ha-ha, ha No way out 'cause I'm already in it I'm not attending when I do a show and get a ticket Good business can clean millions, I got the vision I been had it since "No Scrubs" and "No Pigeons" Even back when I wasn't as poppin' When they told me take an R&B nigga on the road And I told 'em no and drew for Kendrick and Rocky I tried to make the right choices with the world watching "Mike never tried to rap like Pac, Pac never tried to sing like Mike" Those my dad's words to me when I asked him how to make it in life And I always said my mother gave the greatest advice, yeah Look at me now, they look at me like the golden child Can't nobody hold me down Especially not right now Certain shit is just too wild to reconcile Take that, take that No love in they heart so they fake that DiCaprio level the way they play that Damn, nigga, what is that? Y'all don't hear no songs They hit my phone like, "You did that" They even hit my line like, "Where you been at?" It's always on some shit like "When can I get a favor?" or, "Where my bitch at?"

On “4PM In Calabasas,” Drake throws jabs at Puff Daddy, Joe Budden, and Meek Mill. The song is a continuation of his AM/PM series, following “9AM in Dallas,” “5AM in Toronto” and “6PM in New York.” This addition to the series takes place in Calabasas, California, which happens to be the location of a home Drake owns and identifies as “the safehouse.” He often spends time there to seclude himself and escape from the media and tensions of the rap game.
