As for Lamar's portion of the song, he raps at one point: “Yeah, get up with me, f–k sneak dissing / ‘First Person Shooter,’ I hope they came with three switches. Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD / Motherf–k the Big 3, n—a, it’s just big me / ‘Fore all your dogs gettin’ buried, that’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary.” Drake has yet to respond to the diss directly, although he's posted several subliminal Instagram captions about it. His latest has fans thinking that's about to change.
