Here is the updated table:

Part I

Intro: Drake

Astro, yeah

Verse: Drake

Sun is down, freezin’ cold
That’s how we already know, winter’s here
My dawg would probably do it for a Louis belt
That’s just all he know, he don’t know nothin’ else
I tried to show ’em, yeah
I tried to show ’em, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Goin’ on you with the pick and roll
Young La Flame, he in sicko mode

Part II

Verse 1: Travis Scott & The Notorious B.I.G.

(Woo) Made this here with all the ice on in the booth
At the gate outside, when they pull up, they get me loose
Yeah, Jump Out boys, that’s Nike boys, hoppin’ out coupes
This shit way too big, when we pull up, give me the loot (Gimme the loot!)
Was off the Remy, had a Papoose
Had to hit my old town to duck the news
Two-four hour lockdown, we made no moves
Now it’s 4 a.m. and I’m back up poppin’ with the crew
I just landed in, Chase B mixes pop like Jamba Juice
Different colored chains, think my jeweler really sellin’ fruits
And they chokin’, man, know the crackers wish it was a noose

Refrain: Big Hawk & Swae Lee

Some-some-some-someone said
To win the retreat, we all in too deep
Play-play-playin’ for keeps, don’t play us for weak (Someone said)
To win the retreat, we all in too deep
Play-play-playin’ for keeps, don’t play us for weak

Verse 2: Travis Scott & Uncle Luke

Yeah, this shit way too formal, y’all know I don’t follow suit
Stacey Dash, most of these girls ain’t got a clue
All of these hoes I made off records I produced
I might take all my exes and put ’em all in a group
Hit my eses, I need the bootch
‘Bout to turn this function to Bonnaroo
Told her, “Hop in, you comin’ too”
In the 305, bitches treat me like I’m Uncle Luke
(Don’t stop, pop that pussy!)
Had to slop the top off, it’s just a roof, uh
She said, “Where we goin’?” I said, “The moon”
We ain’t even make it to the room
She thought it was the ocean, it’s just the pool
Now I got her open, it’s just the Goose
Who put this shit together? I’m the glue

Refrain: Travis Scott, Swae Lee & Big Hawk

Someone said
Shorty FaceTimed me out the blue
Someone said
Play-playin’ for keeps
Someone said, mother****, someone said
Don’t play us for weak
