"I don't give a f--- if you love me, I don't give a f--- if you like me," Drake opens his new song. "Askin' me, 'How did it feel?' Can't say it didn't surprise me / Last time I looked to my right, you n----s was standing beside me / How can some people I love hang around p------ who try me?" Robert Okine/Getty After the first verse of "What Did I Miss?" — in which Drake declares, "Love for my brothers and death to a traitor" — he elaborates in the second verse. "I'm back in your city tonight, walkin' around with my head high / I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been d--- riding gang since 'Headlines,' " he raps, referencing his 2011Take Caresingle.
