Let’s explore the meaning of the slang phrase ‘slime you out’ as the title of Drake and SZA’s brand new track leaves fans confused.
The surprise release comes ahead of the rapper’s new album For All The Dogs. Drake and SZA started dating in 2008 or 2009, according to Snooze.
Meaning of ‘Slime You Out’
Genius’ description of the song Explained that the meaning of ‘slime you out’ in this context is “to use them for their sexual benefits”.
“On the track, both SZA and Drake cruise over topics of being used by their ex-lovers,” the site adds. “While sharing their own personal feelings, revealing their malicious tendencies towards the opposite gender.”
That’s the meaning of the phrase in the song’s context, but it actually has a number of other definitions too.
Urban Dictionary also says that it is “also” You can also say: “to get crossed mostly after you did something foul or suspicious” and “to kill or rob”.
Adding to that, fans on Twitter have explained it can also mean “doing you dirty,” which is treating someone unfairly.
It’s not about them dating
The track doesn’t actually make reference to Drake and SZA’s fling at all. Both sing about their toxic ex-partners.
People have speculated for years that there was something going on between them. However, it wasn’t confirmed until 2020.
On 21 Savage’s track Mr. Right Now, the Toronto rapper said: “Yeah, said she wanna f*** to some SZA, wait/ ‘Cause I used to date SZA back in ’08.”
SZA then confirmed they were once an item on Twitter, but clarified it was “actually 2009” that they dated and said he just “innocently rhymed ’08 w wait”.
The full lyrics are available.
[Intro: Drake]
I don’t know, I don’t know what’s wrong with you girls
I feel like y’all don’t need love
Need someone to micromanage your life?
You know what I’m sayin’? What’s the difference between right and wrong?
Who’s smart from who’s the fool
What utensil should I use to eat food?
Though I have a busy schedule,
I can’t really
6ix
[Verse 1: Drake]
You b*****es really get carried away
Makin’ mistakes, then you beg me to stay
Got me wiggin’ on you like I’m Arrogant Tae
I’m in a bad place because of you
The slaves whip and chain you up like American slaves
Sheraton hotels can be a bit intimidating if you are not used to them
I met the n***a you thought you could replace
Why were comparisons even made?
B***h, next time, I swear on my grandmother grave
I’m slimin’ you for them kid choices you made
Slimin’ you out, Slimin’ you out, Slimin’ you out
Ayy, this ain’t the littest I could get on you b****es
Send wires like Idris.
You lucky that I don’t take back what is given
I could have you on payment plan, ’til you’re hundred and fifty
And my slime right here, she got some bars for y’all n****a
So I’ma fall back and let SZA talk her s**t for a minute
[Chours: Drake]
Slimin’ you out, slimin’ you out, slime
[Verse 2: SZA]
Damn, these n****s got me so twisted
I’ll f**k you so real, but play b***h on my line?
I can feel what you spendin’
Got too much pride to let no burnt n***a slime me out
My night is free, so let’s go for a ride!
Let’s discuss all the lies about
Frontin’ out here, like you d**kin’ me out
And I ain’t even cumin’, numbin’ it out
And you ain’t ’bout the s**t you rappin’ about
And I can spin the ho’, I’m airin’ it out
I’m goin’ on like a sawed-off
You tell these h**s you ain’t cuddlin’
But with me, you know doin’ all that s***
You tellin’ these h**s you ain’t trickin’ off
But with me you know, I’m gon’ get it all
How you n****s get so carried away?
Trippin’ when that d**k barely third place
F***ed out of pity, it’s cute that you lame
Dip cause it’s mid I can’t fake liking sex
[Chorus: SZA]
Slimin’ you out, I’m slimin’ you out, I’m slimin’ you out
Wow!
[Verse 3: Drake]
Yes, I know, it’s January. You act like you see things clearly.
In February, you should put your pride and evil eyes aside.
For the fantasy of gettin’ married, very scary
March got you already second guessin’ titles
As April begins, you will spiral upwards like the spring.
The weather is getting warmer in May
Poolside getting’ very tan
June have you movin’ ice cold, goin’ back and forth with a married man
July, that’s when I found out you lied
August, it was “Baby this”, “Baby that”, like you had your tubes tied
September, we fallin’ off, but I’m still the man you tryna win over
October is all about me, ’cause your turn should’ve been over
November, got your moodboardin’ for next year and you’re single
December the gift givin’ month, and now you wanna rekindle, I
Tryna build trust, showin’ me your DMs, how they tryna bag you?
Ironic how the news I got about you ended up bein’ bad news
Get a n****s hit got fifty racks, girl, the beef cost, like the Wagyu
Get a n***a hit, I’ll make his a** see the light, like a half-moon
Shout to QC, pretty sure I made P M’s, like it’s past noon
All I really know is W’s and M’s, life lookin’ like a bathroom
What I know for sure is that I ordered a fast-food meal at a drive through, and I was given M bags.
Sayin’ that I’m too guarded ’bout my feelings, who the f**k even asked you?
There are always seven guards on duty in the event that someone is really determined to try and break through.
Don’t know why I listen to you when I hear you talkin’ to me, it’s some half truth
If I don’t pay your rent, it end up like a old hairstyle, girl, that’s past due
If I don’t—
[Outro: Drake]
Ah, ah, that’s as far as I got
