Tekst piosenki
[Intro]
Yeah, we back
Wassup ladies?
Swishahouse, baby
Wassup to all the ladies on the Northside, Southside, Eastside, Westside?
Wassup in Bay City?
Wassup to all the ladies in Louisiana?
Wassup to all the ladies in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio?
Marshall, Prairie View, it’s going down
Wharton County, Texas City, H-Town, baby
TSU ladies
[Chorus]
She moved out of state, and shit done went left, she’s seekin’ forgiveness
She used to dance, but she want a loan and start up a business
Her daddy is not around, her mama is not around
I watch her climb to the top of the pole and then get to slidin’ down
I make it rain in this bitch, I make it snow in this bitch
She tryna get out of the mix
Shawty is goin’ legit, shawty is goin’ legit
Me, I’m supportin’ this shit, this is a story
Came from my life and I’m just recordin’ this shit
[Verse 1]
I’ma just give it to you direct, instead of me throwin’ this shit
You know you important and shit
You know I’m supportin’ this shit
We used to do pornos when you would come over but now you got morals and shit
I got like four on the wrist and an adorable kid
I got a Drac’ in the studio, and I don’t just mean that I’m in this bitch
Please make the most of this shit
Don’t just come close to some shit
I give you this bread, you run me some head
And then you go glow up a bit
[Chorus]
She moved out of state, and shit done went left, she’s seekin’ forgiveness
She used to dance, but she want a loan and start up a business
Her daddy is not around, her mama is not around
I watch her climb to the top of the pole and then get to sli-
I make it rain in this bitch, I make it snow in this bitch
She tryna get out of the mix
Shawty is goin’ legit, shawty is goin’ legit
Me, I’m supportin’ this shit, this is a story
Came from my life and I’m just recordin’ this shit
[Verse 2]
Her daddy is not around, mama is definitely not around
She got a business plan, but she just ain’t had time to write it down
Stay with her sister now, she got a man, but he out of town
Soon as he out of town, they hop in his whip and they ride around
I watch her climb to the top of the pole and then get to slidin’, slidin’
Thought about trappin’ a player before, but that just ain’t right, right
Look in the mirror if you wanna look at some things on the bright side
You popped a 325, you feelin’ too good to worry tonight
[Chorus]
She moved out of state, and shit done went left, she’s seekin’ forgiveness
She used to dance, but she want a loan and start up a business
Her daddy is not around, her mama is not around
I watch her climb to the top of the pole and then get to sli-
I make it rain in this bitch, I make it snow in this bitch
She tryna get out of the mix
Shawty is goin’ legit, shawty is goin’ legit
Me, I’m supportin’ this shit, this is a story
Came for my life and I’m just recordin’ this shit
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
W utworze „Not Around” Drake śpiewa o striptizerce, która próbuje uporządkować swoje życie. Ponieważ jednak zaczęła się najpierw rozbierać, rodzice zerwali z nią wszelkie więzi i odmówili jej pomocy. Z drugiej strony Drake szanuje harówkę, którą wkłada w życie, i zamiast tego postanawia jej pomóc.
Oryginalna wersja piosenki wyciekła 1 marca 2020 r. Miesiąc później, 6 kwietnia 2020 r., Drake potwierdził na Instagramie Live OVO Marka, że ostateczna wersja utworu pojawi się na jego szóstym albumie studyjnym.
Refren i temat piosenki przypominają piosenkę Drake’a z listopada 2011 roku „The Real Her”. Drake chwali striptizerkę za niezależność i umiejętność dbania o siebie. Dodatkowo Drake wspomina nawet o pomyśle „uratowania” jej, co oznacza umawianie się na randki i wsparcie finansowe rozwiązłej kobiety: „Ciągle mi mówią, żebym cię nie ratował”. Drake podtrzymuje tutaj ten sam pomysł. Ponieważ rodzice tej dziewczyny odcięli ją od swojego życia z powodu rozbierania się, jest gotów ją wesprzeć i pomóc jej żyć dalej.
