Drake Honestly Nevermind

Drake Honestly Nevermind

Concluding the pop-inspired Honestly, Nevermind, Drake switches up for the album’s final song, trading bars with 21 Savage, on a hard-hitting instrumental. Chock-full of name-drops, references, threats, and exclamations, the two rappers stay true to their roots when it comes to establishing dominance within the rap game.

“Knife Talk,” the previous collaboration between the pair, contains a similarly menacing aura, which 21 interpolates during his half on the track.

The song also opens with a sample from 1999’s “Just Awaken Shaken” by Playa Fly. Fly is a rapper from Memphis, Tennessee, an area with a unique sound in hip-hop, a sound that both “Jimmy Cooks” and “Knife Talk” aim to utilize with their catchy and repetitive melodies. The aforementioned Certified Lover Boy collaboration, “Knife Talk,” additionally features Project Pat, whose role as a Memphis rapper on the track’s intro is reprised through the use of the Playa Fly sample on this track.

The song’s title refers to Drake’s character in the Canadian series Degrassi: The Next Generation, Jimmy Brooks. Drake portrayed the basketball star from 2001 until his departure from the show in 2009. “Jimmy Cooks” could be Drake incorporating a line from the song’s first verse:

Plus I’m cookin’ up ambition on a kitchen stove

In short, “Jimmy Cooks” is Drake’s way of acknowledging his past as an actor while focusing on his future and ambition for rapping.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Just awaken shaken once again, so you know it’s on
Just awaken shaken once again, ho, you know it’s on
Just awaken shaken once again, so you know it’s on
Just awaken shaken once again, ho, you know it’s on
Yeah, life
Life is the only thing we need
They need me to go, but I don’t wanna leave
Rest in peace to Lil Keed

[Verse 1: Drake]
Fuck a pigeonhole, I’m a night owl, this a different mode
I might have to make her paint a 6 on her pinky toe
Heard you with a shooting guard, just let a nigga know
I would have you courtside, not the middle row
All good, love, in a minute, though
I can’t stress about no bitch ’cause I’m a timid soul
Plus I’m cookin’ up ambition on a kitchen stove
Pot start to bubble, see the suds, that shit good to go
Hoes say I’m suave, but I can’t get RICO’d
Bro think he John Wayne, I bought him yellow stones
Love the way they hang, babe, fuck the silicone
Everybody fake now, you could crack the code
Bustdown everything, set in rose gold
Dread talkin’ to you niggas like I’m J. Cole
I can tell her head good before I even know
Bitch, don’t tell me that you model if you ain’t been in Vogue
Gotta throw a party for my day ones
They ain’t in the studio, but they’ll lay somethin’
Rest in peace to Drama King, we was straight stuntin’
You don’t like the way I talk? Nigga, say somethin’
Gotta throw a party for my day ones
Pull up and you know it’s us, the bass jumpin’
You don’t like the way I talk? Then say somethin’
Get out my face, nigga

[Chorus: Drake & 21 Savage]
Gotta throw a party for my day ones
They ain’t in the studio, but they’ll lay somethin’
Rest in peace to Drama King, we was straight stuntin’
If I let my nigga 21 tell it, you a
Pussy

[Verse 2: 21 Savage]
Spin a block twice like it ain’t nowhere to park (21)
Smack the backside of his head like he Bart (Pussy)
OVO 4L, we come out when it get dark (21, 21)
Big stepper, he came in a Rolls, but he left in a stretcher (21)
Let my brother drive while I shoot, team effort (21)
Askin’ all these questions, bitch, you must think you Nadeska
The chopper like to feel on all the opps, it’s a molester (21)
I be with my gun like Rozay be with lemon pepper
She wanna hear some Afrobeats ’cause she just popped a Tesla
All that workin’ out, that nigga must think he a wrestler
But this ain’t UFC, this chopper came with a compressor (21)
This chopper came with a compressor (Pussy)
This chopper came with a— (Pussy)
This Glock 45 came with a switch (21)
If I was Will Smith, I would’ve slapped him with a stick
Put your hands in the air, it’s a stick-up (21)
Spin the same hood where I get my dick sucked (Facts)
If you standin’ on business, put your blick up (21, 21)
Come around actin’ scary, get your shit took (21)
Fell in love with feelin’ dizzy, so I spizzin (21)
I got mad love for the boy, yeah, that’s my twizzin (21)
If them niggas keep on dissin’, slide agaizzin (21)
We the reason why the opps ain’t got no frizziends (21)
Last nigga played with me got turned duppy
I ain’t even roll him in the ‘Wood ’cause he musty
You ask how she doin’, I just tell her come and fuck me
Shot his ass twenty times, damn, this nigga lucky (Damn, that nigga lucky)

[Chorus: Drake]
Gotta throw a party for my day ones
They ain’t in the studio, but they’ll lay somethin’
Rest in peace to Drama King, we was straight stuntin’
You don’t like the way I talk, nigga, say somethin’

[Outro: Drake]
Say somethin’, say somethin’, say somethin’, say somethin’, say somethin’
You don’t like the way I talk, nigga, say somethin’, say somethin’, say somethin’, say somethin’, say somethin’
