If essentially the most random west coast rapper had written these precise bars, they might’ve gassed him and stated he has elite writing abilities.
However when it’s Drake, they both say he has horrible bars or say he has ghostwriters. In each circumstances, they’re mendacity to themselves 🤣 https://t.co/Ry4yMm1HIa
