Taylor Swift is the only artist who could inspire Drake to push back a release date, so says the 6 God himself.
The moment occurs on “Red Button,” the first song on Drake’s six-track Scary Hours expansion of For All the Dogs. At the top of the Ovrkast and Lil Yachty-produced track, the “Summer Games” sequel denier assesses his “decimated” competition from the perspective of being “the most decorated.” A few lines later, Drake’s extensive Billboard charts success is touted, a boast that naturally leads to Swift being favorably brought into the discussion.
“Taylor Swift the only n***a that I ever rated,” Drake raps, adding that Swift is also the only artist who could “make me drop the album just a little later.” By comparison, he adds, he treats everyone else like they “never made it.”
“Taylor Swift the only n***a that I ever rated
Only one could make me drop the album just a little later
Rest of y’all, I treat you like you never made it
Leave your label devastated
Even when you pad the stats, period, I never hated
Even when you stab me in the back, the vest is metal-plated
Tryna see a B inside my circle like I’m gettin’ graded
Man, all this luggage in the lobby like I’m gettin’ traded”
