In “Mob Ties”, Drake expresses a sense of exhaustion due to the loyalty he has to his "gang" and the obligation to carry out its demands. He ridicules his foes for their lack of success, and highlights his own lucrative endeavors in lyricism. Ultimately, he suggests that it's too late in the game for the opposition to make any substantial changes, because his own ties with the "mob" are too deeply rooted to be severed.
