DJ Khaled Ft Drake – To the Max Lyrics

success which both Drake and Khaled achieved during their careers; describing their music reaches new maximums, their albums going multi-platinum and they fact they are on an other level compared to the competition.

DJ Khaled began teasing the song on his Instagram, asking if “the Drake vocals came in yet” as the pair attempt to recreate the buzz behind their previous hit “For Free,” featured on Khaled’s 2016 project Major Key. This track is rumoured to be one of two coming from the duo on Grateful after Drizzy referenced one of Khaled’s catchphrases, asking “why give ‘em one when you can give ’em another one?”

Most of the “To The Max” production is a sped up sample of Jay-O’s “Gus Get Em Right,” which you can specifically hear in the intro, refrain and outro of the song. The style of this song is inspired by the popular Miami “jook” music, a scene familiar to Miami resident DJ Khaled and common visitor, Drake. This track also sampled T2’s “Heartbroken,” a U.K. garage/bassline track which rose to classic status after regular plays in British clubs at the end of the noughties era, further expanding Drake’s love for British culture. Lastly, the song was probably inspired by DJ Jayhood’s remix of “Heartbroken”, since it includes the same cuts and drop as the remix.

Although Jay-O and T2 confirmed that DJ Khaled approached them to use the sample, the song was taken down from different streaming platforms in the UK and several other countries not long after the release, presumably due to copyright issues.

[Verse 1: Drake]
I talk gray, I don’t keep it white and black
Only say “I love you” just so I can hear it back
Sometimes, other times I’d love to have you back
Can’t think of a night that we ain’t turn up to the max
To the maximum
Like the album just went platinum, yeah
Turnt up to the max
If they pop somebody’s chain, then we gotta get it back
No discussion to be had, we ain’t goin’ out like that
Man, we lit

[Chorus: 1WayFrank]
My young ni— lit
All of my young ni— lit, we lit
My young ni— lit
All of my young ni— lit, we lit
My young ni— lit
All of my young ni— lit, we lit
My young ni— lit
All of my young ni— lit, we lit

[Bridge: Jodie Aysha & Jay O]
Oh, ‘fessions to, I do, I, I do

[Verse 2: Drake & Jay O]
Got it on the dresser, I’ve been under pressure
They wanna see me laid out on a stretcher
Gotta keep my head up
(Get ’em right, get ’em right
What you finna do, Gus?)
Now all of a sudden, people say we cousins
I keep hearin’ all this “You my brother” talk, I can’t relate to nothin’
My broski down to ride
Made a knot in the line
You can never break ties
We don’t really rate those yutes there
That’s a whole other side
That’s a whole ‘nother vibe
They ain’t really on shit, yeah
