MR RECOUP Lyrics – 21 Savage, Drake

MR RECOUP Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Drake]
A quick hype-up vibe to set the tone.

[Verse 1: Drake]
He talks about buying something small like new socks just to show he’s living fast and carefree. He mentions trusting someone who knows how to handle business in the streets. He wasn’t even planning to rap but the beat is too good to ignore. He warns that aiming for the top brings problems. After a party, he and his crew move wild and don’t care who watches. They were recently in someone’s neighborhood and people there loved the energy. His life isn’t some dramatic movie; it’s real and only involves his team. When people look for who caused trouble, they can’t find the person because it was him and his crew doing everything themselves.

[Chorus: 21 Savage, Drake]
They repeat that it was always them handling whatever happened. Someone hurt his brother, and now he struggles with trusting anybody. His enemies are so broke and low-level that they don’t even go after real targets. A friend tells him to be patient, but he’s too angry and ready to react fast. He wants to strike back instead of waiting for the perfect moment.

[Verse 2: 21 Savage]
He’s ready to attack while the other guy hesitates. He wants to add this enemy to the list of people he’s already handled. He pictures smashing the other guy’s truck and ruining everything around him. He even wants to take out the person’s twin or closest partner in the same spot, showing he’s not playing around.

[Verse 3: Drake]
He points out how huge his custom chain is and jokes that it literally hurts his neck. Another jeweler changed his initials, showing how much custom work he gets done. He calls himself Mr. Recoup, meaning he always gets his money back. He mentions another party spot and says he likely won’t see the same women again because his life moves too fast. He shouts out someone on his team who always supports him. Then he mocks someone by saying Drake is basically their father figure, and even then they couldn’t get proper help or protection.

[Verse 4: 21 Savage]
He talks about how his earnings keep increasing every year, showing his rise in success. If he really wanted to show off, he could make people feel threatened or insecure. He says he doesn’t see himself as just a rapper but as someone dangerous with a dark past. Someone dislikes him because his crew handled one of their people. His car is dark on the outside with light seats on the inside, showing a mix of luxury and toughness. While he talks with powerful business leaders, others waste time gossiping. He says if he trains or prepares, he can easily take out another group’s top guy. He mentions having old problems or screws like someone known for that. He says people lie and pretend to be tougher than they are. If anyone goes against his group, they’ll end up hurt. He doesn’t guess or speculate; everything he says is real. His crew doesn’t tolerate snitches and takes harsh action against them.

[Chorus: 21 Savage, Drake]
They repeat that they handled everything themselves. After someone attacked his brother, trust disappeared. Their enemies are broke and barely worth the effort, yet the crew still goes after them. While someone advises patience, the anger makes him want to act immediately. He’s focused on striking back rather than waiting around.
