We Break Down Every Sneak Diss on Future & Metro Boomin’s ‘We Still Don’t Trust You’

Future: “Don’t you know? Don’t you know?/This life is amazin’, special occasions, we smoke n—as like packs/We roll n—as like…we cook n—as like crack, givin’ it back/So many ties, right or wrong, down for the guys (Swerve)/We ready to ride, dawg, whenever it’s time (Whenever)/However we gotta play it, we can’t be in the blind (Never in the blind)/It’s gon’ seem complicated to you if you not one of mine (Not one of mine)”

Future: “Ain’t goin’ against my mans to f—k on his b—h, I’m gon’ f—k up these bands/Got too many options, they meet my demand, my team, we done spinned/You went against the gang, you read what I’m saying, it’s out of my hands”

These issues with Drake seem to be deeper than rap. I’m not sure if this all stems back to the now infamous “tweeters and deleters” Instagram Story from the Canadian rapper. Future takes the “If Metro doesn’t trust you, I’m going to shoot you” slogan to heart, acknowledging all the moving parts and mutual relationships that are going to be tested.

A couples scenes come to mind.

First, there’s this scene from the first Godfather where Michael is in a garage testing out the gun Clemenza set up for him and Clemenza is explaining to him why this tug of war for power is necessary for getting rid of the bad blood every five to 10 years.

This scene applies to the Big 3 in Drake, Kendrick, and J. Cole, but I’ll also throw Future in the mix who clearly feels he’s the odd man out of this equation. Every few years or so, rap has to go through a power struggle. We’ve seen this movie before throughout the genres history, whether it be Boogie Down Productions versus the Juice Crew or Roc-A-Fella versus the Ruff Ryders, and Nas and Queensbridge.

Then there’s the scene from The Wire where Slim Charles is telling Avon they’ve come too far to stop fighting now. This applies to the lines: “So many ties, right or wrong, down for the guys/We ready to ride, dawg, whenever it’s time” and “You went against the gang, you read what I’m saying, it’s out of my hands.”

Like Slim says, “Once you in it, you in it. If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie, but we gotta fight.” This clip applies to some of the things said on “Nobody Knows My Struggle” as well.

Future: “Feel a way, feel a way/Know a n—a feel a way, feel a way”

Future interpolates Drake’s “Feel No Ways” on the chorus of this track. On Drake’s version, he croons, “And now you’re tryna make me feel a way, on purpose/Now you’re throwing it back in my face, on purpose/Now you’re talking down on my name, on purpose, yeah/And you don’t feel no way, you think I deserve it,” so Future is telling him to go ahead and “feel a way” about this situation. The Atlanta rapper is credited as a writer on the 2016 Views song, so this theory tracks.

The Weeknd: “You’ll never be in danger/Promise nothin’ will happen/These n—as always yappin’, yeah/I promise that I got your back/Ooh, look at how we movin’, baby (Movin’, baby)/They could never diss my brothers, baby (Future)/When they got leaks in they operation/I thank God that I never signed my life away/And we never do the big talk (No, no, no, no, no)/They shooters makin’ TikToks/Got us laughin’ in the Lambo (Yeah)/I promise that I got your back”

The Weeknd seemingly came down from heaven real angelic to politely throw shots at Drake on a love song. He brings up how he almost signed to OVO after he shook up the game with House of Balloons and at the end references a TikTok Drake affiliate Baka Not Nice made.

I’m not sure we’ve experienced anything like this.

A$AP Rocky: “Call up Pluto, Metro, should’ve put me on the first one/N—as swear they b—h the baddest, I just bagged the worst one/N—as in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or somethin’?/I smash before you birthed, son/Flacko hit it first, son/Still don’ trust you, it’s always us, never them/Heard you dropped your latest sh—t/Funny how it just came and went (Ha-ha-ha)”

No one is surprised Rocky used this hidden feature opportunity to respond to Drake’s shots on multiple For All the Dogs tracks. Flacko seems to have gotten fomo after listening to the duo’s first installment of the We Hate Drake series and figured he might as well get in on the action. The Harlem rapper brings up how the rift between Drake, Future, Metro, and himself is seemingly over women and insinuates that he slept with the mother of Drake’s baby first. Rocky also mentions the disappointing reaction to Drake’s last solo project For All the Dogs.

Charlamagne tha God: “I can find a million Future clones all around the world (Yes) I don’t think there is any rapper that has influenced culture (I agree) and music (I agree) more than Future over the last decade (It’s, it’s) I think Future had influence, people want to be Future (Mmm) people want to sound like Future. It’s wild to me that we don’t— It’s not a big three, it is a fantastic four and Future is in that (This beat is so, so Metro) You can put him, you—, he might be two, huh, three. He might—can even be number one.”

The intro to the second disc starts off with Future saying how it hurts him to be saying the things he’s said. Then there’s this discussion between Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz where the radio personality talks about why he thinks Future should be in the Big 3 conversation. The Atlanta rapper clearly has a bone to pick with not only Drake, but with the fans and the critics who don’t bring up his name in “Who’s really the GOAT” talks.

Future: “I got money, I got power, heard your daddy was on that powder”

Future: “You thinkin’ I started this sh—t and then wasn’t gon’ finish, you gotta be crazy”

The Slim Charles clip from The Wire applies here as well. Metro and Future started on this war path three weeks ago with We Don’t Trust You and now must finish the job. The first line can also be interpreted as Drake’s father Dennis Graham having a fondness for the booger sugar. That’s pure speculation, though.
