He never claims to be a lyrical rapper, he just rides the wave of the beat and speaks his mind. He also states that all of what he says in his songs is true, it might not have happened by the time he recorded the song but very soon after he'll make sure it does. Just like he's influencer, he likes Drip so most of he's lyrics are based on that, Drip.
