Fair Trade (Remix) Lyrics

[Verse 2: Jari$]
Don't invite me over, you not tryna go and get this started
Took me back, I’m scarred to tell you how I got it
I don't know who want it but I know that they ain’t ready prolly
You don’t want the smoke, yeah I’m a heavy body
Know the homies got me cause they really told me that they got me
Yeah, can’t be trusting almost everybody, look
I’m in love with life and that’s the thing about it
Get to frontin’ round me then get bipped up out it, yeah
Never had me focused on my enemies, just focused on the inner me
And now I’m walkin' with my head high yeah you know that’s fate
I don't think you feelin' me, I'm out here
Bein' everything they said I couldn’t be and shouldn’t be
I don't know what happened to them guys that said they would be
I said I fixed my ways, there’s no returning to the old me
I got no regrets up in my life they think that they know me
And I ain’t scared of no-one lil’ homie cause


[Chorus: Drake, Travis Scott, Jari$]
I'm outside, twenty-nine, G5, seaside
I've been losin' friends and findin' peace
But honestly that sound like a fair trade to me
If I ever hurt one and I'm still here
Outside, frontline, Southside
I've been losin' friends and findin' peace
Honestly that sound like a fair trade to me

[Bridge: Charlotte Day Wilson]
I don't understand why you blame me
Just take me as I am, it's the same me

Senseless sight to see
Senseless sight to see

[Verse 3: Travis Scott]
Rollin' in a Rolls and ain't no safety
Ridin', engine revvin'
Gotta roll over to you, gotta get my release
Spread your legs downtown, as I'm goin' out to eat
And they hear the raw sounds when I rock up and you're sleepy
I'ma roll on 'em 'fore I ever let 'em roll on me
Split this one down the middle, wake up in the harmony
Worry, sick, I'm sick of worryin'
It's just a worryin', I'd rather bury them
I'm talkin' fake friends and skeletons
Early mornin', show the ropes to lawyers, I done sell a bean
I'm never settlin', this shit get darker than my melanin
At the crib all by myself, this shit be cavin' in
Scrollin' through my call log, by emojis, how I'm savin' 'em
Del Mar as the beach where my hoe was but I favorite them
That butterfly emoji hold me down and all my babies them
Backwood in your face, won't push away, he got the K on him
I broke bread instead of watchin' niggas break down
They sent a couple bitches through, like I'm from Cape Town
Know their position, you know ass up with the face down
I'm never content, two mil' a event, I get it frequent
I'm make an expense, to me it's just sense
I'm droppin' the top, no tint for the whip
I'm droppin' the top, this bitch tryna spend
She droppin' the top, she back again
Fuck her 'cause she at the crib again, company
I let it slide when I really shoulda slid
After all the shit I did
Look at how they repayin' me back
Now follow my lead
Tell me what type of payment is that?
I put that on my kid and my trust, yeah, it is what it is
[Chorus: Drake & Travis Scott]
I'm outside, twenty-nine, G5, seaside
I've been losin' friends and findin' peace
But honestly that sound like a fair trade to me
If I ever hurt one and I'm still here
Outside, frontline, Southside
I've been losin' friends and findin' peace
Honestly that sound like a fair trade to me


[Outro: Charlotte Day Wilson]
I don't understand why you blame me
Just take me as I am, it's the same me

Senseless sight to see
Senseless sight to see
Up on a mountain (Up on a mountain)
Search through the valley (Search through the valley)
You hear me calling (You hear me calling)
Won't you come find me? (Won't you come find me?)
Please don't forsake me (Please don't forsake me)
All of a sudden (All of a sudden)
My heart is breaking (Breaking)
I feel it coming, I, I

About

Genius Annotation

On “Fair Trade,” Drake denounces fake friends and that his life is better without them. Scott, on the other hand, talks about his women, cars, and money. The track was initially teased by Drake on Instagram in May 2021 where he posted a one-minute clip of the song.

On this remixed version, the record features a quick 16 from Jari$, taking Drake’s place in the second verse while mimicking his rhyme scheme. Covering topics such as fake friends and being upfront with people.

The track samples Charlotte Day Wilson’s September 2019 song, “Mountains.” Notably, Charlotte is from Drake’s hometown of Toronto, adding to the extensive list of Canadian artists who have received support from Drake.
