“Shabang” by Drake is a confident, confrontational rap track about fame, wealth, competition, and maintaining dominance. Drake dismisses rivals, questions his relevance, celebrates his success, and hints at tensions beneath the bravado. Its rapid-fire question-and-answer style mixes humor, threats, self-belief, and vulnerability into a sharp victory lap.
Shabang Lyrics
[Intro: Drake]
Yeah, Ice
Yeah
[Chorus: Drake & Quavo]
Maneesh on the beat, shabang (Woo)
All of my opps, they dead
Why do they gas me up?
Where does it go? My head (Mama)
How much I got? A lot
Don’t leave again, I won’t
Thinkin’ of tryin’ me, do like Bryson, pussy-ass nigga, then don’t
[Verse: Drake & Quavo]
Can I forgive? I can’t
What do I need? Some head
Shorty keep askin’ the date
She tryna finesse Polymarket for bread (Bando)
Where is the beef? It’s cooked
Where is the boy? He’s booked (Skrrt, skrrt)
Don’t even recognize none of thеse names at the top of thе charts, I looked (Huh?)
Am I upset? A bit
Last one you dropped was shit
I did press play on that ho
Mid, mid, mid, skip, skip
What should I take? A trip (Gone)
Who should I take? His bitch
Tennis lessons with a Nike skirt on and her ass poppin’ out, you’re sick (She bad)
Where is the GOAT? They need one
The mirror’s right here, I see one
My nigga don’t know how to pay me back, so he said next hat he catch is a free one (Grrah)
What kinda clip? Extendo
What kinda switch? Not Nintendo
Y’all hangin’ out with friends, though
They hangin’ out the window (Baow)
What’s up with gang? We back
What’s in my raps? It’s facts
She said she miss me, all caps
Gotta aim better than that
What’s up with life? It’s lit
But I know it get better than that
I know it get better than that
I know it get better than that
[Chorus: Drake & Quavo]
Maneesh on the beat, shabang (Woo)
All of my opps, they dead
Why do they gas me up?
Where does it go? My head (Migo)
How much I got? A lot
Don’t leave again, I won’t
Thinkin’ of tryin’ me, do like Bryson, pussy-ass nigga, then—
Don’t
[Outro: Drake & Quavo]
40, what’s up? Shabang (Uh)
All my opps, they dess
What am I now? Possessed
How do I feel, though? Refreshed (Woo)
Secrets I know got you stressed
Will I take those to my death? (What?)
Haven’t decided just yet, ayy, yeah
40, what’s up? Shabang (Uh)
All of my opps, they dess
Please don’t put me to the test (What?)
They tryna get back on the ‘net
I’m tryna get back in the flesh (Woo)
Yeah

Song Bio of Shabang Lyrics – Drake
“Shabang” is a high-energy collaboration between Drake and Quavo, produced by 40 and Maneesh, taken from Drake’s album ICEMAN, released May 15, 2026. The track opens with a brief intro from Drake before launching into a call-and-response chorus built around the producer tag “Maneesh on the beat,” setting the tone for a track that blends braggadocio with flashes of introspection.
Across the verses, Drake and Quavo trade lines in a rapid-fire question-and-answer structure, touching on wealth, loyalty, rivalries, and fame, while name-checking current cultural references to ground the song firmly in the present moment. The interplay between the two artists gives the track a conversational, almost improvisational feel, even as the bars stay tightly structured around the recurring “what/where/how” format that runs through both the verses and the outro.
The outro shifts tone slightly, with Drake reflecting on secrets, pressure, and the tension between public persona and private life, closing the song on a more contemplative note despite its otherwise celebratory energy.
Sonically, “Shabang” leans into the 40 and Maneesh production style long associated with Drake’s catalog, pairing minimal, punchy beats with ad-libs and vocal texture from both featured artists, making it a standout moment on ICEMAN.
