THE FINALS Lyrics
[Intro]
Let’s get it
New York City, stand up
I’m back (That’s right)
Stupid or you dumb?
Knicks in the 6 n!gga, Joey in 1
[Verse]
What kinda Top Dawg is you?
You more Shih Tzu, you was cloned in the lab, dog, you artificial
You known for your label, not because your art official
And I ain’t gotta talk about how you broke you are to fix you
‘Cause when I send shots at you, it’d be hard to miss you
Ain’t gotta load the magazine just to press this issue
In fact, these ain’t even shots, they missiles
Tryna outclass the Bada$$? So I gotta dismiss you
You all bark, no bite, but hit dogs gon’ holler
Caught a couple strays, now it’s time I put ’em on a collar
I let ’em rot while while I charge ’em for top dollar
You’re the next n!gga getting dropped off the Top roster
And I’ma be the reason, okay, bet
You sick dog looking for beef with a seasoned vet
I euthanize sick pups, n!gga, you gon’ see
You barking up the wrong tree, think you fu*king with me?
It’s ’bout time Top let your ass off of the leash
Sound for five years, yet your biggest moment from me
Can’t nobody name a single song you ever released
Even Crashout wasn’t your original beat
Everytime Joey dropped, you see, he eats
I did more for you than the whole of TDE
It’s too bad, n!gga, you should have been signed to me
Somebody tell Top we ’bout to start TD East
Funny how they gotta use the pro names for promo
On the low though, I really think you n!ggas is homo
The way you let Dot d!ck sit in your mouth
This that same d!ck licking I was talking about
You n!ggas would do anything for the clout
Crash out over n!ggas who won’t even let you in they house
I bet you ain’t even got his number
It’s funny how the thirst is being disguised as hunger
Should have sat down, been humble, but now I gotta son you
This little ray of light’ll be the biggest shine of your whole life
I don’t just flow, I talk to your soul on the mic
You don’t want smoke with me, please, just give me a light
You need me to buzz, I’m light years beyond Ray
Want me to engage, so you mentioned my fiancé?
Clearly, I ain’t scared to get in the ring
I mean even Gervonta had to fight a couple bums just to be king
Fu*k around, leave me no choice to slay Vaughn
Sugar in your tank but you ain’t no Sugar Ray Vaughan
Gay Vaughn, keep punching up with them pillow hands
You ain’t even a middleman, you just a little man
Fu*k with me feet, we throw hands like Rayman
You ain’t no Ray Liotta, how much you made man?
S*it, I wouldn’t talk about your pocket, but ayy, man
You need a optician just to see Ray bands
Go fetch a coffee for your CEO
‘Cause judging by the numbers, clearly I can see he owed
Your mouth running ’cause your pockets run on low
I’m active and I’m acting, yeah
And that’s something only me and Pac would know (Facts)
Play with fire then you gon’ get burned
Listen and learn kid, you was better off as the intern
Better yet, a mascot, I been a beast with these flows
N!gga, you can ask Dot, Killuminati Part Two
Yeah, that was my last shot
And this the difference between that and Ruler’s Back, let’s be clear
I salute you Kenny but I know you well aware
You lookin for some competition? Then just know that I’ll be right here
[Outro]
Straight like that, look
Slime rap n!gga
Live and direct
I’m back
New York City, here and now repping
With Joey Bada$$
You gotta love it, yeah
That’s right
Joey
Yeah
The Finals, n!gga
And you failed the test, n!gga
Fu*king failed
THE FINALS Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
Joey’s starting off with energy, repping New York proudly and announcing his comeback. He’s hyped, confident, and taking shots right away. That Knicks line means the Knicks winning in six games, and he’s comparing that to him winning in just one—he’s not here to play around.
[Verse]
Joey’s calling out the other rapper’s credibility from the jump. He’s mocking him by comparing him to a small, harmless dog (a Shih Tzu) and saying he’s fake, like something made in a lab. He’s not impressed by the rapper’s success because he believes it’s just based on the label he’s with, not his actual talent or originality.
He keeps the heat going, saying he doesn’t even need to bring up how broke this guy is, because he’s about to expose him with his words. Instead of simple disses, he’s dropping b0mbs—serious, hard-hitting shots. Joey sees himself as being way above this dude, so he’s brushing him off like he doesn’t even belong in the same league.
He compares the guy to a loud dog that doesn’t actually bite, saying that anyone who reacts must feel hit by the insults. Now Joey’s done with the stray disses—he’s ready to “put a collar” on the guy, basically saying he’s about to control or humble him. He charges top price while letting people like this rot, meaning Joey’s on another level financially and artistically.
He takes it further, saying this guy is about to be kicked off his label’s roster, and Joey himself will be the reason. He calls him a sick pup picking a fight with a seasoned pro—Joey’s been doing this a long time. He’s ready to “euthanize” the sick dog, meaning he’s about to end this weak attempt at a rivalry.
Joey thinks it’s about time the label let this guy off the leash—like, gave him freedom—but even then, the dude hasn’t done anything significant. He’s been signed for years, but the only big moment he’s had was somehow tied to Joey. Nobody can name any of this guy’s songs, not even one, and even the one people know wasn’t originally his beat.
Every time Joey drops music, it gets attention. He says he’s done more for this dude’s career than the entire TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment) label, which is a heavy diss. He jokes that the guy should’ve signed with *him* instead. Then he even teases that maybe they’ll start a new East Coast version of TDE.
He throws shade at how the other rapper’s team uses more famous names just for promo, hinting they need clout to get attention. Joey even gets real blunt and insulting here, saying the guy’s admiration for Kendrick Lamar (Dot) is way too much and embarrassing, calling it “d\*ck riding.” He says these dudes would do anything for fame, even throw themselves at artists who don’t even respect or acknowledge them.
Joey doubts this guy even has Kendrick’s number and mocks the desperation by saying the hunger for recognition is actually just thirst for clout. He thinks the guy should’ve stayed quiet and humble, but now Joey’s got no choice but to embarrass him.
Then he flips the guy’s name, “Ray,” into a bunch of plays. He says this track will be the most attention Ray will ever get. Joey claims he’s not just rapping—he’s really saying something deep. He warns Ray to back off before it gets worse and suggests that Ray only gets noticed when Joey’s around. He’s way ahead of him in every way.
Joey brings up the fact that Ray mentioned his fiancée, which clearly crossed a line. But Joey’s not backing down. He compares the situation to Gervonta Davis, a champion boxer who had to fight some easy opponents before proving himself. So Joey sees Ray as one of those weaker challenges.
He continues roasting him with wordplay, saying Ray’s weak punches are like “pillow hands” and calling him “Gay Vaughn” to insult his masculinity. He even says Ray isn’t even a middleman—he’s just small-time, a “little man.” Then he name-drops Ray Liotta (a famous actor) and basically says Ray hasn’t achieved anything close to that.
Joey says he usually wouldn’t talk about money, but he can’t help it now. He jokes that Ray might need glasses just to spot some Ray-Bans (expensive shades), implying he’s broke. He then flips the insult again, saying Ray should be fetching coffee for his CEO because clearly, based on numbers, the boss owes more than Ray’s earning.
Joey’s saying Ray talks too much because he’s broke and trying to stay relevant. Meanwhile, Joey’s active in the game and doing real acting too—something only legends like 2Pac also did. He’s confident and sees himself on that level.
He wraps up this part by saying if you mess with fire, you’ll get burned. He tells Ray that he would’ve been better off being an intern or a mascot, not a rapper. Joey’s been a monster with flows for years, and if you ask Kendrick, he knows that. He mentions an old diss (“Killuminati Part Two”) as his last real shot, but this track is even more aggressive.
Finally, he gives a nod to Kendrick (calling him “Kenny”) and says he respects him, but knows Kendrick is aware of Joey’s presence. Joey’s saying if anyone’s looking for competition, he’s right here and ready to go toe to toe.
[Outro]
Joey ends it strong and direct. He’s repping New York proudly, saying he’s here, live, and fully back. He gives props to himself and claims victory by calling it “The Finals” and saying the other guy totally failed. It’s a final jab, letting everyone know he dominated and shut it down with no room for debate
