Kendrick Lamar is already back with another Drake record. “Meet the Grahams,” the Compton artist's third track of the week — following “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA” — arrives within an hour of Drake's spiky response, “Family Matters.” Find the latest new song below.
Lamar opens “Meet the Grahams” by addressing Drake's son Adonis Graham:
Lamar then addresses Drake's mother, Sandra Graham: “Dear Sandra, your son has some habits/I hope you don't undermine them.” She saved some harsh words for Drake's father, Dennis Graham—“You raised a horrible fucking person/Your nerve, Dennis”—before turning back to Sandra: “Your son's a sick man with sick thoughts/I think n– –Like him they should die/He and Weinstein should fuck in a cell for the rest of their lives.” He continues, “And we have to raise our daughters knowing there are predators like him lurking”/Fuck a fight rap, you should moldso all these women can live with a purpose.”
Later, Lamar raps about a figure he calls “girl”: “I'd like to say it ain't your fault I'm hiding another kid/Give him a favor/That's why I did Mr. Morale.” The lyrics refer, at least, to Drake's famous Pusha T diss “The Story of Adidon.”
Addressing Drake directly, Lamar explains that he's gone after Drake so badly for bringing the Californian's family into the rap beef. “Why did you have to stoop so low to defame some decent people?” he asks, “Guess integrity is lost when metaphors don't reach you.” He closes the track, “Fuck a rap battle/This a lifelong battle with yourself.”
