Kendrick Lamar’s 12 Best Drake Diss Lyrics From ‘Euphoria’

“How I make music that electrify ’em, you make music that pacify ’em.”

Kendrick comes at Drake’s artistry and dismisses the 6 God’s pop hits as fodder.

“The famous actor we once knew is looking paranoid, and now spiraling/ You moving just like a degenerate, heavy antic, it’s feeling distasteful.”

Kendrick is ashamed at how Drake has moved in the days since dropping “Push Ups” in the feud. This could be a reference to the AI-assisted “Taylor Made” freestyle, which Drake removed from social media following a cease-and-desist.

“How many more fairytale stories ’bout your life ’til we had enough/ How many more Black features ’til you finally feel that you Black enough/ I like Drake with the melodies, I don’t like Drake when he act tough.”

Lamar continues to jab at Drake’s biracial identity and even voices his disgust with him saying “n—a” while interpolating Kanye West’s “Get Em High” to close out “Euphoria.”

“Yeah, Cole and Aubrey know I’m a selfish, n—a/ The crown is heavy, I’ll pray they my real friends, if not, I’m YNW Melly.”

Kendrick doubles down on his “Like That” claim that it’s “motherf–k the big three, n—a, it’s just big me” while name-dropping Cole and Drake. He references YNW Melly, who is facing double murder charges in the 2018 deaths of his friends.

“You was signed to a n—a that’s signed to a n—a that said he was signed to that n—a/ Try cease and desist on the ‘Like That’ record/ Oh, what? You ain’t like that record?”

After Drake built “Push Ups” around allegations about a 50/50 split in Kendrick’s deal with TDE, Lamar wonders about Drizzy’s deal that had him signed to Lil Wayne’s Young Money, which is under Birdman’s Cash Money Records.

“Ain’t 20 v. 1, it’s 1 v 20 if I gotta smack n—as that write with you.”

Kendrick uses Drake’s “is this a 20-v-1, n—a?” lyric from “Push Ups” by reviving ghostwriting allegations against the OVO boss.

“I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk/ I hate the way that you dress/ I hate the way that you sneak-dissing/ If I flight it’s gonna be direct.”

Make no mistake about it: no subliminal here as Kendrick voices his pure disdain for Drake’s existence.

“Y’all think all of my life is rap/ That’s h– s–t, I got a son to raise, but I can see you know nothing ’bout that.”

Kendrick disses Drake for how he’s raising his son, Adonis. This is also a callback to Pusha T’s scathing “The Story of Adidon,” which exposed that Drake had a kid in the first place.

“Dementia must run in his family, but let it get shaky/ I park your son/ The very first time I shot me a drac’, the homie had told me that ‘Aim it this way’/ I didn’t point down enough, today/ I show you I learn from those mistakes.”

Kendrick misfired in the past but he’s ready to snipe Drake with a headshot in this round.

“I don’t like you poppin’ s–t at Pharrell/ For him, I inherit the beef/ Yeah, f–k all that pushin’ P, let me see you Pusha T/ You better off spinnin’ again on him, you think about pushin’ me?”

Kendrick to the rescue: He defends Pharrell from Drake’s jabs (See his verse on Travis Scott’s “Meltdown”) and reminds Drizzy about his loss in battle with Pusha T.

“Yeah, my first one like my last one, it’s a classic, you don’t have one/ Let your core audience stomach that/ Didn’t tell ’em where you get your abs from.”

Lamar defends his discography after being needled about exactly that by Drake and J. Cole. In doing so, K. Dot also claims Drake has zero classic albums to his name.

“When I see you stand by Sexyy Red, I believe you see two bad b—–s/ I believe you don’t like women, that’s real competition, you might pop a– with ’em.”

A funnier line in the feud comes with K. Dot comparing Drake to acting like Sexyy Red, collaborator on his For All the Dogs hit “Rich Baby Daddy.”
