Drake recently moved from Toronto when he was started doing music with his late friend Nipsey_Hussle. They were working on a couple songs together, and after Nipsey's unfortunate death, Drake felt it was time to finish what Nipsey had started. 

Thanks to Nipsey leaving Drake some money, he was able to find a penthouse suite and take over the building Nipsey had which included a private recording studio. It took months for Drake to get the motivation, but he was finally ready to record. Drake entered the studio and told his producer and friend 40 to start the track. Hearing Nipsey's verse made Drake sad, but it was time to get over Nip's death and release this song in his memory.

After writing his verse, he stepped into the booth and started rapping

Look, I let the beat bang I don't claim colors
Honestly the honesty is why the game love us
My women either centerfolds or on the main covers
Stunt so hard I make these fools hate summer
And pray for winter but when it's winter time
I'm still waitin' on these fools at the finish line
We just took our first trip to the Amalfi coast
Couple days on the beach then it's adios (Killa)
Just look at what I done alone
You will swear we planted trees the way the money's grown
We been busy like some bees no honeycomb
And you could prolly feel the breeze when the money's blown
Pardon my towel and flip flop phase
I'll never be the reason that a bitch got paid
Even when I'm not functioning in tip top shape
I could bench as much as hip hop weighs... drizzy

Uh, I'm tryna bring it home
Even if I gotta do it on my own
I'm a muhfuckin' killa, killa, killa, killa
Uh, and I'm the one to blame
Now that I'm around shit will neva be the same
I'm a killa, killa, killa, killa

Drake wrapped up his rap, and sat down with 40 and the sound engineer to make sure the mix was completed perfectly. He even invited someone of Nipsey's family and friends so they can hear the track and give their stamp of approval. 

Although Drake missed his friend Nipsey, it was time to make his own music and continue what Nipsey started.
