Lil Durk Refugee

Though Lil Durk has proven himself to be a voice of the streets, he has also used his music to express vulnerability, exemplifying the toll his lifestyle can take on an emotional level. It’s part of the reason why the production of his new album The Voice is so frequently melancholic, with songs like the piano-driven standout “Refugee” sounding closer to lullaby than banger. Yet it’s over this sort of beat that Durk is at his most effective, drawing from his own trauma and pouring his pain onto the page.

“I grew up in vacant apartments, the presence of pills retarded,” he raps. “They don’t even care if ni*gas steady dyin’ from it, they just floodin’ the market / Off them drugs I nodded, I’m with the killers regardless / Don’t ask me why I got gun on me ’cause these ni*gas be killin’ the artists.” These fragmented snapshots of Durk’s past paint a vivid picture of what drives the man he is today, while hauntingly delicate piano suggests that even the appearance of success is not always what it seems.

Lyrics

[Intro]
(Ayy, pull up, Lam)
(2Ezzy on some other shit)

[Verse]
I’m poppin’ a seal in Barney’s
I’m signin’ a deal with a sharpie
I went to sleep smokin’ on a Backwood and I’m burnin’ the carpet
I grew up in vacant apartments
The presence of pills retarded
They don’t even care if niggas steady dyin’ from it, they just floodin’ the market
Off them drugs, I nodded
I’m with the killers regardless
Don’t ask me why I got gun on me ’cause these niggas be killin’ the artist
I fell in love with a darlin’, they steady bringin’ up charges
Went to sleep with my ankle monitor, goin’ dead, and I forgot to charge it
He come from the streets, the darkest (Yeah)
Every day sleep with a Barbie (Yeah)
He out of my life, he tardy (Yeah)
Niggas gon’ shoot, we ain’t arguin’ (Yeah)
How you get killed when you partyin’? (Yeah)
The streets and the bitches my audience (Yeah)
Look at my diamonds they ornaments (Yeah)
We turn a killin’ into the tournament (Yeah)
We get the revenge, it’s glorious (Yeah)
The two F and Ns, I ordered it (Yeah)
I’m lovin that Urus, I ordered it (Yeah)
She suckin’ my dick, I’m recordin’ it (Yeah)
The police they call him notorious (Yeah)
He did a line early (Yeah)
I wasn’t buyin’ jewelery (Yeah)
How I’ma bribe a jury (Yeah)
I live in designer stores (Yeah)
I drink outta Styrofoam (Yeah)
He takin’ them Percocets (Yeah)
I hate that he died alone (Yeah)
I’m leavin’ them snakes alone (Yeah)
I’m leavin’ them fakes alone (Yeah)
The homicides gettin’ solved (Yeah)
I’m leavin’ them jakes alone (Yeah)
Cut my homie off (Yeah)
He a custo (Yeah)
If I go broke (Yeah)
Turnin’ cutthroat (Yeah)
We don’t cut dope (Yeah)
Can’t save a slut though (Yeah)
He got two headshots (Yeah)
Well he got rushed for (Yeah)

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
