Jay-Z – “Light Up”īest lines: “They always tell me: Nobody’s workin’ as hard as you / And even though I laugh it off, man, it’s probably true / ‘Cause while all of my closest friends out partyin’ / I’m just here makin’ all the music that they party to” The main rival in his scope is, of course, Kanye, but he makes sure to send a few shots Pusha’s way too. “7am On Bridle Path” follows 2010’s “9AM in Dallas,” 2013’s “5AM in Toronto,” 2015’s “6PM in New York,” and 2016’s “4PM in Calabasas,” and as you can expect, it’s Drizzy barred the fuck up the whole way through.
