About This Track

A Drake mixtape cut originally recorded by Future and Young Thug in 2017, 'D4L' arrived on 'Dark Lane Demo Tapes' in May 2020 with Drake's verse added. Southside, one of the originators of the trap wave in Atlanta, produced the track, threading together the crew affiliations and luxury signifiers that anchor the chorus: FBG, YSL, OVO, Richard Mille watches, Louis Vuitton bandanas, and a nod to the mid-2000s Atlanta group D4L. Future's verse sketches scenes of excess and early exposure, whilst Drake's contribution moves from Palm Springs day trips to reflections on impatience and upward mobility. Young Thug anchors the refrain, the repeated 'what's hannenin'?' functioning as both greeting and challenge. The production keeps the tempo brisk, the tone celebratory but alert, the three voices circling a shared Atlanta lineage even as their commercial reach has long since moved beyond it.

"D4L" is a track by Future, from the album Dark Lane Demo Tapes, released 1st May 2020. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

D4L

[Intro: Young Thug]

(808 my crew)

(Ayy, Southside, where you get all that drip?)

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

[Chorus: Young Thug & Future]

FBG, YSL, know just what's brackin', yeah (Yeah, yeah)

Told my story, gotta clear it by your daddy, yeah (Yeah, yeah)

FBG, YSL, what's hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

Richard Mille, all this year, nigga, what's hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

Louis Vuitton bandana, bro, what hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

D4L, Stunna Man, say what's hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

Bowen Homes, you know, that shiesty shit (What's hannenin'?)

You go outside, you better back it

[Verse 1: Future & Young Thug]

Oh, my right wrist a Ferrari (Skrrt, skrrt)

Foreign breed, American, she call me papi (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Vroom, vroom, Hellcat, give it to the goons (Vroom)

On that Earl Manigault, shootin' it out the spoon

Seen a prom queen smoke crack when I was lil'

Million dollars in cash like I sell drugs (Sell drugs)

Gave my bitch a hundred racks, vacuum sealed up (Vacuum seal, what?)

Vacuum sealed up

[Chorus: Young Thug & Drake]

FBG, YSL, know just what's brackin', yeah (Yeah, yeah)

Told my story, gotta clear it by your daddy, yeah (Yeah, yeah)

FBG, OVO, what's hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

Richard Mille, all year, what's hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

YSL bandana, man, what's hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

D4L, Stunna Man, man, what's hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

Bowen Homes, you know, that shiesty shit (What's hannenin'?)

You go outside, you better back it (Ayy)

[Verse 2: Drake]

Go to Palm Springs for a daytrip

Freeband, October's Own, it's the same shit

Shawty keep on knockin' back the shots, better pace this

Woah, woah, banknotes, presidential faces

Woah, woah, Bankhead, started seein' spaceships, woah

We just started fuckin', she impatient

Now she want a butt lift, now she want some LASIK

Just to see the bag clearer, that way she can chase it

Ayy, ayy

I remember grade six, I was up in Payless tryna get some Asics

Now I'm Nike'd down in a motherfuckin' snake pit

Now I'm type of nigga give it out and I don't take shit (808 my crew)

[Verse 3: Future & Young Thug]

I been in the cut for thirteen thousand months

(Ayy, Southside, where you get all that drip?)

All that brr, you gon' think we from Saudi Arabia

Money counter brr (Yeah), ayy

My trap comin' up the street, brr (Let's go)

I ran a check up on my feet, brr (Run it up)

Bentley talk, Bentley talk, brr (Bentley)

Go ask your mama, I'm a boss, brr (Boss)

I got oil, I'm your daddy, brr (Daddy)

I bought her a 'Rari (Swerve, skrrt), brr ('Rari, yeah)

I eat calamari (Brr, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'ma let her park me

[Chorus: Young Thug & Future]

FBG, YSL, know just what's brackin', yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Told my story, gotta clear it by your daddy, yeah (Yeah)

FBG, YSL, what's hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

Richard Mille, all this year, nigga, what's hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

Louis Vuitton bandana, bro, what hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

D4L, Stunna Man, say what's hannenin'? (What's hannenin'?)

Bowen Homes, you know, that shiesty shit (What's hannenin'?)

You go outside, you better back it
