Drake is keeping up a busy summer by releasing a new freestyle. On Saturday, July 7, Drake followed up his “Scorpion” double-album by making an appearance on Link Up TV to drop his “Behind Barz” freestyle. In the latest track, Drake reminisces about his career on the mic.
“I got way too big off “Views”/Back to the basics, I won’t lose,” he raps. “They wanna link when they got no tunes/They too worried about sellin’ out shoes.”
Many believe the line about “sellin’ out shoes” is another shot at Kanye West. He also drops the line “man start dissin’ and doing reposts” which everyone also believes goes after Pusha T, who Drake had a very public beef with earlier this year. After Drake and Pusha T released diss tracks aimed at each other, Pusha T continued to “repost” reactions from Kanye West about the feud. There is also a much less veiled line in the freestyle, which plays off of Kanye’s “Kids See Ghosts” album and mentions “P and his bro.”
Seen ’em in person, I’m seeing a ghost
They told me relax ’cause they’re taking control
Take all that shit up with P and his bro
I wish you the best, let me know how it goes

Drake ‘Behind Barz’ Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Link Up TV, Behind Barz
Big up man like Rasheed, Joey, Tadas
Shoutout Giggs for settin’ the ting, SN1, OVO
Mm-hmm, yeah, look
[Hook 1]
You know how the paigon chit-chat goes
I like R’s and V’s and O’s
I don’t really play no tic-tac-toe
Been with Chubbs through highs and lows
We seen man last night, they froze
Wasn’t no cameras, wasn’t no pose
Just like that one time at ‘chella
Good thing man weren’t pullin’ out phones
[Verse 1]
Stay in big six six with woes
Man start dissin’ and doin’ reposts
They do anything except road
Still can’t see them after snows
I don’t have time for the wasteman jokes
Personal ting if I’m getting up close
Loyal to O ’cause I’ve taken a oath
Versace hotel and I’m taking the robes
Seen ’em in person, I’m seeing a ghost
They told me relax ’cause they’re taking control
Take all that shit up with P and his bro
I wish you the best, let me know how it goes
Wanna be free and I wanna let go
We came around and you showed us the most
I know so much sh** that I cannot expose
I keep it inside and I laugh on my own
Got all the tea and I’m hottin’ it up
I need a shade mansion, a room’s not enough
You’re droppin’ some sh** but that shit was a bust
They got no direction, they’re followin’ us
I come from a city that they never touch
Your man is a goofy and he could get brushed
I can’t name a rapper or girl that I trust
I dream about turning these yutes into dust
