Drake Enemies Lyrics: Decoding the Meaning

Lickwood Means Rewind, a Gunshot Means Forward

You Requested It So We Rewind

Yeah
Way, way, way up
Turn it all up
Yeah
Look

I got enemies, got a lot of enemies
Got a lot of people tryin' to drain me of my energy
They tryin' to take the wave from a nigga
Fuckin' with the kid and pray for your nigga

I got girls in real life tryin' to mess up my day
Fuck goin' online that ain't part of my day
I got real shit poppin' with my family too
I got niggas that can never leave Canada too
I got 2 mortgages, thirty million in total
I got niggas that'll still try fuckin' me over
I got rap niggas that I gotta act like I like
But my actin' days are over, fuck them niggas for life, yeah

I got enemies, got a lot of enemies
Got a lot of people tryin' to drain me of this energy
They tryin' to take the wave from a nigga
Fuckin' with the kid and pray for your nigga

I got people talkin' down, man, like I give a fuck
I bought this one a purse, I bought this one a truck
I bought this one a house, I bought this one a mall
I keep buyin' shit just make sure you keep track of it all
I got bitches askin' me about the code for the Wi-Fi
So they can talk about their timeline
And show me pictures of their friends
Just to tell me they ain't really friends
Ex-girl she the female version of me
I got strippers in my life, but they virgins to me
I hear everybody talkin' 'bout what they gonna be
I got high hopes for you niggas, we gonna see
I got money in the courts so all my niggas are free
'Bout to call your ass a Uber, I got somewhere to be
I hear fairy tales 'bout how they gonna run up on me
Well run up when you see me then and we gonna see

I got enemies, got a lot of enemies
Got a lot of people tryin' to drain me of this energy
Tryin' to take the wave from a nigga
Fuckin' with the kid and pray for your nigga

Yeah
Yeah

Now, fuck all of you niggas I ain't finished
Y'all don't wanna hear me say it's a goal
Y'all don't wanna see Wayne win fifty awards
I got real ones livin' past Kennedy Road
I got real ones with me everywhere that I go
I'm tryin' to tell ya, I got enemies, got a lot of enemies
Every time I see 'em somethin' wrong with their memory
Tryin' to take the wave from a nigga
So tired of savin' all these niggas, mayne!

Yeah, run up

I got enemies, got a lot of enemies
Got a lot of people tryin' to drain me of this energy
Tryin' to take the wave from a nigga
Fuckin' with the kid and pray for your nigga

I'm off this, man
