Feb 19, 2015 Its southern slang, New Orleans or Memphis maybe, not Toronto. Toronto slang would be boys, bredrin, mi youth (silent h), etc. He is bringing the south to the north, as he himself is a fusion of the two.
Feb 19, 2015 That wouldn't make sense, it obviously just means he had s--- on his mind/back 'whilst' he was grindin etc.
Feb 19, 2015 According to Rap Genius ... "As for the Woes, it’s not in reference to any problems. It’s an abbreviation for “Whoadie” meaning people close to Drake, his boys, his OVO Crew."
Feb 19, 2015 is it so hard to accept that he's just carrying his grief during his day to day while in his city? d--- fam n----s putting 4 letters under a microscope in this thread
Feb 19, 2015 'Woes' actually gave the track a deeper meaning to it, if he was just referring to his boys then that ruins it a little tbh.
Feb 19, 2015 woes mean his nikkas and actual woes goat line mirrors of goatness, water to a well/whale
Feb 20, 2015 Look on youtube comments, literally everyone there doesn't know what "woes" mean lol. It's actually really shocking tbh

Feb 22, 2015 I personally think when he recorded the track he knew the s--- had a double meaning... Take it how you will
Feb 22, 2015 Woes meaning his crew is dumb as h--- tbh. And if it means his n----s "working on excellence" it only adds to the cringeiness
Feb 22, 2015 It means his f---ing past troubles you fuckwits .. he's running with his troubles/demons because that s--- don't leave. Anything else that is not this ^ is f---ing wrong. It's really that plain and simple. It's kinda sad there are people that don't know what woes are and had to start digging deep into the lyrics trying to decode this grand mystery. Edit: TheFader.com should just shut themselves down for actually making a page about this. Wow.
