Broke Boys (feat. 21 Savage)

In 'Broke Boys,' Drake and 21 Savage deliver a powerful message about their success and the disdain they hold for those who haven't achieved the same level of wealth and status. The song opens with Drake reflecting on his journey and the loyalty of his close circle, emphasizing the sacrifices made by his brother and the camaraderie he shares with 21 Savage. The imagery of 'snakes in the grass' suggests the presence of deceitful individuals, making it harder to see who can be trusted. This sets the tone for a narrative that is both boastful and cautionary.

Drake's lyrics are filled with metaphors and cultural references that highlight his achievements and the lifestyle that comes with it. Lines like 'I got more stripes than Adidas' and 'Ferrari is makin' an SUV' serve as symbols of his success and the luxury he enjoys. The repeated phrase 'I can't talk to broke boys' underscores his refusal to associate with those who haven't reached his level of financial success. This sentiment is further reinforced by his disdain for those who pretend to live lavishly but, in reality, do not.

21 Savage's verse complements Drake's themes by adding a layer of street credibility and toughness. He talks about the consequences of crossing him and his crew, painting a vivid picture of the harsh realities of their world. The line 'Savage snatch you out ya crib, then drop you in a hearse' is a stark reminder of the violent undertones that accompany their success. Together, Drake and 21 Savage create a narrative that is both a celebration of their achievements and a dismissal of those who haven't made it, making 'Broke Boys' a compelling anthem of success and exclusion.
