'Momma, don't worry, I got my pistol/ I'm gettin' my dollars, you birthed a real n—a/ Told my daddy, 'Don't be sorry, I'm not gon' blame you'/ If it weren't for struggle, my dreams, they wouldn't came true,' Future raps.
Baby takes the baton and continues with the same theme, speaking directly to his mother. 'Told Momma, 'Don't worry, you know you raised a hard body'/ Granny called the other day, said, 'Don't scratch 'cause God got you,'' he asserts.
Weezy joins the mix and addresses the lack of a relationship with his father, who was absent from his life following a divorce from Wayne's mom. 'Told my daddy, 'I don't blame you, neither claim you'/ You was never in the picture, somebody framed you/ Mom's bought my first pistol, brought me to the range too,' he spews.
Lil Baby and Weezy have teamed up for tracks like 'Forever' in the past, while the New Orleans rap legend has an extensive history with Future, uniting with him on songs including 'Love Me,' 'After That,' 'Oxy' and the 'Karate Chop (Remix).'
Tha Carter VI arrived on Friday (June 6) featuring assists from Kodak Black, MGK, Bono, BigXthaPlug, Jelly Roll and Big Sean.

Metallica And Queen Manage The Same Feat
For the past several weeks, both Ozzy Osbourne and his band Black Sabbath have appeared in lofty positions on the charts in the United Kingdom, as listeners in the late rocker's home country mourn his passing and honor his legacy by streaming and buying his biggest hits. As is always the case when such a surge occurs for a sad reason, those tunes have started to decline, especially on the country's rundown of the top rock and metal tracks. That's the tally where Osbourne and Black Sabbath fully displayed their immense popularity, and this frame, as some of Osbourne's most popular tunes and a handful of Black Sabbath cuts fall, several other classics by other superstar acts are able to return to the highest tier. Metallica, Queen and Evanescence Return Four songs return to the top 10 on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart this week. All of them regularly spend time within that region, but they were recently pushed out as Osbourne and Black Sabbath surged. 'Can't Stop' by Red Hot Chili Peppers leaps highest, jumping from No. 12 to No. 7. That tune is followed by a trio of comebacks, including 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen (No. 8), 'Enter Sandman' by Metallica (No. 9), and 'Bring Me to Life' by Evanescence (No. 10). Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath Fall Making room for Metallica, Queen, and others, a pair of Osbourne tunes and two Black Sabbath favorites fall. Last week, Osbourne's 'Mama, I'm Coming Home' and 'No More Tears' sat at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively, and now they dip to Nos. 12 and 13. Black Sabbath sat just behind the group's own frontman at Nos. 6 and 7 with 'War Pigs' and 'Iron Man,' which have now declined in stature to Nos. 15 and 16, respectively. AC/DC, Guns N' Roses and Disturbed Rise Several other popular smashes are also on the rise within the top 10 on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart, though they don't need to return to the highest tier. 'Iris' by Goo Goo Dolls finds its way back to No. 1, swapping spots with 'Paranoid' by Black Sabbath, which dips to the runner-up slot. 'The Sound of Silence' by Disturbed, 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC, and 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns N' Roses all inch north several spots, settling in at Nos. 4, 5, and 6, respectively, after landing in the lowest spots within the uppermost region just a few days ago.

‘We're About to Do a F—ing Podcast': Taylor Swift to Appear on Travis Kelce's ‘New Heights'
After sending the Internet into a frenzy with hints that Taylor Swift would soon be making her New Heights debut, Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce have confirmed that the pop star is indeed joining them on the podcast — and she just might make a big announcement during the episode. Late Monday night (Aug. 13), the two brothers officially revealed that they would be welcoming the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's superstar girlfriend as a guest on the show by sharing an adorable video on social media. In the clip, Swift sits next to Travis and compliments his blue sweater, to which he replies: 'It's the color of your eyes, sweetie … it's why we match so well.' More from Billboard Here's Why Taylor Swift Fans Think She's About to Announce 'TS12' With Travis Kelce's Help: 'THIS IS NOT A DRILL' If Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Get Married, Andy Reid Has a 'Lot of Great Stories' to Tell at Their Wedding Taylor Swift Raves About Boyfriend Travis Kelce's New Movie 'Happy Gilmore 2': 'Absolute Must Watch' 'We're about to do a f—ing podcast!' the singer then says in disbelief. Swift's cameo on New Heights will premiere at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday (Aug. 13). The big reveal comes just hours after New Heights first teased that the 14-time Grammy winner would finally be appearing on the program, something fans have been asking for since Swift first started dating Travis about two years ago. Earlier Monday, the Kelce brothers shared a cryptic promo image with a sparkly orange background and a blacked-out silhouette of a mystery woman, whom Swifties quickly concluded must be the musician. Also adding to the hype, Swift's official fan account, Taylor Nation, shared 12 images of the artist wearing orange outfits on stage at her Eras Tour. 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…,'' the caption read. With that post coming just 12 minutes after the New Heights teaser, fans were immediately certain that the podcast would be the platform on which Swift announces her highly anticipated 12th studio album — though they'll have to tune in Wednesday to find out for sure. Regardless of whether or not she does share TS12 news, however, the hitmaker certainly has a lot to catch up with listeners about; in the past year alone, she's wrapped up her two-year billion-dollar Eras trek and reclaimed the master rights to her first six albums. Plus, the New Heights episode will mark a full-circle moment for Swift and Travis no matter what, as the couple's romance first began with the pod. Weeks after the athlete professed his crush on the singer on a July 2023 episode — telling Jason at the time that he was 'butthurt' about failing to give her his phone number at an Eras show — Swift would appear at one of his home games. The rest was history. 'This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,' Swift recalled in her 2023 TIME Person of the Year interview. 'We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.'

Swift's upcoming presence was later confirmed, with her cameo on New Heights set to premiere at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday (Aug. 13). In a clip shared to both Swift and New Heights' Instagram accounts alongside the announcement, the pop icon gives fans confirmation that the new project is indeed the #TS12 news they've been waiting for.
