Drake’s infectious “Started From the Bottom” single is a hit on the streets and charts, sitting at No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot 100 charts. Before its remix arrives, Drizzy returns to his 2010-classic “9AM In Dallas Freestyle,” by releasing a sequel in “5AM In Toronto.” Produced by Boi-1da and Vinylz, Drake has plenty to get off his chest as he showcases the same lyrical prowess which makes him one of today’s best. Cleverly filled with subliminals, the question listeners are bound to ask is which artist(s) the Toronto-native is possibly aiming at?
His third solo album, Nothing Was the Same arrives later this year.
“I swear, fu*k them ni**as this year/ I made Forbes list, ni**a/ Fuck your list, everything’s lookin’ gorgeous.”
Listen to Drake’s “5AM in Toronto Freestyle,” plus full lyrics after the jump…..

Drake – 5AM in Toronto (Lyrics):
[Intro]
Yeah
This song’s from old Tommy Campos Dice Raw shit
For my niggas, though[Verse 1]
You underestimated greatly
Most number ones ever, how long did it really take me
The part I love most is they need me more than they hate me
So they never take shots, I got everybody on safety
I could load every gun with bullets that fire backwards
You probably wouldn’t lose a single rapper
Niggas make threats, can’t hear ’em over the laughter
Yeah, that’s cause I’m headed to the bank, nigga
Sinatra lifestyle, I’m just being Frank with you
I mean, where you think she at when she ain’t with you
Wildin’, doin’ shit that’s way out of your budget
Owl sweaters and saddle luggage, you gotta love it
Damn, this shit could go on a tape
Bitches lovin’ my drive, I never give it a break
Give these niggas the look, the verse, and even the hook
That’s why every song sound like Drake featuring Drake
Straight, Y pree?, why’s it always me
Got us watchin’ our words like there’s wire taps on the team
Cause I show love, never get the same outta niggas
Guess it’s funny how money can make change outta niggas
For real
Some nobody started feelin’ himself
A couple somebodies started killin’ themself
A couple albums dropped, those are still on the shelf
I bet them shits would have popped if I was willin’ to help
I got a gold trophy from the committee for validation
Bad press during the summer for allegations
I ain’t lyin’, my nigga, my time is money
That’s why I ain’t got time for a nigga who’s time is comin’
A lot of niggas PR stuntin’ like that’s the movement
And I’m the only nigga still know for the music
I swear, fuck them niggas this year
I made Forbes list, nigga
Fuck your list, everything’s lookin’ gorgeous
Without me, rap is just a bunch of orphans
But if I stay in the shit, there’s a bunch of corpses
And me and my dread nigga from New Orleans
Stashin’ money like hoarders off multi-platinum recordings
Eat it like I’m seated at Swiss, Sotto and Yoso’s (Joso)
Nothin’ was the same, this shit for Easy and Cocoa
This shit for Kareem, this shit for Jaevon
This shit for Julius, Milly Mill
We do this shit for real
All them boys in my will
All them boys is my wheel
Anything happen to pop and I got you like Uncle Phil
Weezy been on that edge, you niggas just need to chill
If anything happen to poppy, might pop a nigga for real
Comin’ live from the screwface, livin’ out a suitcase
But I’m feelin’ good, Johnny got me pushin’ two plates
My weight up, I refuse to wait up, I started a new race
It’s funny when you think a nigga blew up after Lupe
Niggas treat me like I’ve been here for 10
Some niggas been here for a couple, never been here again
I’m on my King James shit, I’m tryin’ to win here again
A young nigga tryin’ to win here again
Man, what’s up[Outro]
Yeah
A young nigga tryin’ to win here again
If I like her, I just fly her to the city I’m in
I got her drinkin’ with your boy
I got her fucked up, shorty
Aww yeah

I think he’s aiming at The Weeknd, Chris Brown, and Pusha
March 7th, 2013 at 2:21 am
^ Agree with all three. But mainly Weeknd and Pusha a little.
March 7th, 2013 at 2:29 am
Lol….Drake is approaching Hov levels with the subliminals…
March 7th, 2013 at 2:53 am
I didn’t even know there was tension between him and The Weeknd
March 7th, 2013 at 4:33 am
Drake Is a monster!!! I hope he never leaves rap man coz he freshen it up
March 7th, 2013 at 4:58 am
Watch this space for hundreds of other rappers leaving unwanted verses on this beat
March 7th, 2013 at 5:36 am
I like this drake spiting pure bars
March 7th, 2013 at 5:47 am
Yeah can somebody explain the Pusha T and The Weeknd shots and I thought Drake and The Weeknd were meant to be good friends and partners? I mean, He featured on SO many songs on Take Care
March 7th, 2013 at 8:36 am
Number 5.. yeah right.
March 7th, 2013 at 8:52 am
Well The Weeknd eventually went on to sign a solo deal with Universal Republic this past September and release Trilogy with no attachment to OVO in November. That’s apparently when Drake and The Weeknd’s relationship went sour. And even went ahead and removed the “XO” form “OVOXO”
March 7th, 2013 at 9:37 am
Gonna give this a few listens and see if its still holding peoples attention by this time next week….
I swear I dont know who gets more over reactive tweets to freestyles, Drake or Pusha…..
Ok, I’m heading out to get breakfast cuz I see the line of playschool lyric rhyme spitters coming to put out remixes to this…..
March 7th, 2013 at 9:53 am
The amount of shots this nigga is throwin in this song is amazing lol I feel like he got on common & Chris brown on that “some nobody started feelin himself a couple albums dropped, those are still on the shelf I bet them shits would have popped if I was willing to help”. Maybe I’m lookin too deep but that has to be a shot at fortune & the dreamer the believer. Overall I think it was good, the beat could’ve been better
March 7th, 2013 at 10:19 am
This is why I like hip hop.
March 7th, 2013 at 10:21 am
Yeah, I heard it was about the signing issue. At the end of the day loyalty and dollars earned seperate people.
March 7th, 2013 at 11:15 am
wooooooooooowwwwww. dude KILLED this. i always liked this dude, but when I saw him live last year in Phoenix, it was easy to see he is a star in his own right. Murdered the show just like he did that track. I dont care what anybody says. Dude is a beast
March 7th, 2013 at 12:07 pm

March 8th, 2013 at 1:50 pm
The most godly thing I’ve heard. Drake stood up for himself. So much for that number 5 they gave him. He number one at any point. Ovo
March 9th, 2013 at 6:33 am
Absolute Trash
March 9th, 2013 at 11:37 am
I was told dey were shots @The Weeknd
April 2nd, 2013 at 3:33 pm
Drake get’s a GOLD STAR just for not forgetting the people in his life who showed him love when he wasn’t Champagne Papi like Dice and Tommy from Alife and like he did with Chase N Cashe on 9AM in Dallas and recently cosigning chop & screw living legend OG Ron C. That’s REAL man, Drake is more of a real dude then most “real” dudes.
