Kendrick Lamar has swiftly responded to Drake with another diss track titled "Meet the Grahams," marking his third release of the week, following "Euphoria" and "6:16 in LA." Lamar wasted no time, dropping the track just an hour after Drake's response, "Family Matters."
In "Meet the Grahams," Lamar begins by addressing Drake's son, Adonis Graham, expressing regret for his situation:
“Dear Adonis, I’m sorry that that man is your father, let me be honest/ It takes a man to be a man, your dad is not responsive/ I look at him and wish your grandpa woulda wore a condom/ I’m sorry that you gotta grow up and then stand behind him”
Lamar doesn't stop there; he also addresses Drake's mother, Sandra Graham:
“Dear Sandra, your son got some habits/I hope you don’t undermine them.”
He also doesn't mince words when it comes to Drake's father, Dennis Graham:
“You raised a horrible fuckin’ person/The nerve of you, Dennis”
Returning to Sandra, Lamar adds:
“Your son’s a sick man with sick thoughts/I think n----s like him should die/Him and Weinstein should get fucked up in a cell for the rest of they life.”
He then highlights the importance of raising daughters to be aware of predators like Drake:
“And we’ve gotta raise our daughters knowing there’s predators like him lurkin’/Fuck a rap battle, he should die, so all of these women can live with a purpose.”
Later in the track, Lamar addresses a figure he calls "baby girl":
“I’d like to say it’s not your fault that he’s hiding another child/Give him grace/That’s the reason I made Mr. Morale.”
These lyrics are likely a reference to Pusha T's diss track "The Story of Adidon," in which he exposed Drake for concealing his son, Adonis, from the public. Pusha T also used artwork depicting a young Drake in blackface.
Directly addressing Drake, Lamar explains his aggressive response by pointing out that Drake involved Lamar's family in the rap feud:
“Why you had to stoop so low to discredit some decent people?” he asks, “Guess integrity is lost when the metaphors doesn’t reach you.” He closes the track, “Fuck a rap battle/This a lifelong battle with yourself."
