idk bout saved, he was already wildly successful before it but it definitely added to his appeal

Just performed at a Bar Mitzvah over in the States
Used half of the money to beat my brother's case

• Over My Dead Body

"I had nothing to do but hustle, and I ended up getting caught up with that. I caught a few crack charges here and there. Most of them got tossed out but there is still some pending charges. So for that reason, that's why they are denying me entrance into the States. They take d*** charges really seriously. We're in the process of handling all necessary the paperwork so I'm able to get a waiver to enter America.

"On top of that, I was around people that are hustling too. So I ended up getting caught up with a gun charge. I went through that for a couple years and I was lucky to beat that case. I mean, they're still hounding me about the old conditional discharge from when I was hustling.

Drake was like, 'I'm going to ask my lawyer if he knows anyone who can help you out.' They hired me one of the top lawyers in North America and he represented me.

"I was headed to a club downtown when we were pulled over, and they found three handguns in my Cadillac. Me, my brother, and a friend were arrested. My brother and my friend ended up pleading. I couldn't plead because that would have been it for the whole American dream.

"We're as close as brothers can be. They tried to ask us to testify against each other, you know how that game goes, but I roll with solid dudes. My brother is a solid dude, the other guy I was with is a solid dude, so they pleaded and then that was it. It would never be a situation where one of us was tattletaling on the other. The cops tried as much as they could but that's not something that could happen with us.

"I was obviously innocent so we took it to court. I had my own lawyer, I went to pre-trial, and then Drake just came to me. We had gone to the hospital because his grandmother was sick and he was just like, 'I know you got trial coming up, I really need you out here. I can't see you go away.' They were asking for four to six years and he said, 'I can't see you go away for that long. Let me see if there's anything I can do. I'm going to ask my lawyer if he knows anyone who can help you out.'

"They hired me one of the top lawyers in North America and he represented me. We went to trial and we won, thank God. I really owe it to him. It was definitely a large lump sum of money that he put up for me to take care of me. We beat that case, and it's because of him that I even have a shot to try and go to America now and do my thing."

Drake also referenced this on War:

Three waps in the whip, when we beat that case, where man live way too comfy

How can you tell this is the Pullman? The Pullman is essentially a maybach limo it’s hard to really tell unless you know something I don’t lol

Lol it’s super easy to spot when you’re interested in cars & I’ll admit I am; with that said the quickest way to spot the difference between the Pullman & the 62 Landaulet is to look at the cars they’re based on. The Pullman is based on the Mercedes-Benz S Class W222, that’s the current version & the 62 Laundaulet’s styling is based on its predecessor the W220 Mercedes-Benz S Class & it shares a platform with the W140 S Class of the 90’s.

Ashes to ashes, me, Rozay and Khaled
Smoking bull riders, s*** moving slow as a ballad

"My sophomore, I was all for it, they all saw it
My juniors and senior will only get meaner
Take care, nigga"

'Cause I just seen my ex-girl, standing with my next girl
Standing with the girl that I'm f***in' right now
And s*** could get weird unless they all down

Drake ended a generational gang war

Man, we wrote the book on calculated thinkin'
And icy Heineken drinkin', and rival neighborhoods linkin

Someone told me, and correct me if I’m wrong, but some of the dudes are from Malvern and Galloway, and those neighborhoods were warring.

That video, to us, is like... There’s a lot of people lost in that situation, and through having mutual friends in both of those hoods, we were all able to come together, shoot that video, and immortalize that moment. There’s no more of that s*** really. It’s all good man.

We’re just trying to push this movement, push this city further. That was a different time. Everyone was a little bit younger, s*** was a bit more wild, but I don’t brag about my hood stories. Just like you said, everybody’s like get the f*** out of here with that s***, but I’ve done a lot for the streets out here.

And I met your baby moms last night
We took a picture together, I hope she frames it!
And I was drinking at the Palms last night
And ended up losing everything that I came with

this reminds me...

was the blackberry with the side scroll ever found?

No receipts on this one

King James s*** watch me throw the powder up

I swear there was a picture of the actual girl he took a picture with in Vegas. I don’t know why but I feel like remember seeing it. Old as f*** so finding proof would be too hard with little to recall of where...

It was either a picture with the “baby mom” woman from the album verse or it was “this young girl had my lyrics tatted on her arm last night. We took a picture together, I hope she frames it” girl from his NYE verse with his lyrics tatted on her

Either way I swear I remember there being a picture

First you caught the hands then you took the stand Issa joke first you say you real ion understand
