The "tower" Drake is talking about is the CN Tower in Toronto, one of Canada's most iconic landmarks. During ICEMAN Episode 4, his fourth and final pre-release livestream, Drake "froze" the CN Tower using a massive projection-mapping stunt powered by 75 projectors.
They gotta light the tower up for this

Yeah

"The 6ix" is a nickname for Toronto, which comes from the 416 and 647 area codes in the city.
Out in the 6, I'm a national treasure
+
The niggas that back me gon' back me forever
+
R.I.P. Kobe, but y'all niggas brokie
+
That's probably why y'all be shackin' together
+
Capo and Lita got habits together
+
Like couples vacation, they packin' together
+
Like rushin' to finish, they'll slap it together
+
The charge is like COVID, they'll catch it together
+
They hate me so much, it's a sickenin' thing
+
They must've heard wrong on the call
+
I sent 'em a sack 'cause I wanted you shipped to the king
+
When you was a part of the team
+
We used to be plannin' our Mexico trip in the spring
+
We must've been dealin' the spur of the moment
+
'Cause why did we think you could get us a ring?
+
They braggin' 'bout how you went home, the f*ck are they on?
+
Crodie, we threw 'em away
+
G Pop sent us a real one from Daygo
+
And next thing we knew, we was doin' parades
+
F*ck, all you pussy, man, who could relate?
+
Might just go take me a walk by the sea
+
They diss on the boy 'til they blue in the face
+
"blue in the safe" are $100 bills. These bills specifically feature a light blue tint across Benjamin Franklin's face-it entered circulation in October 2013.
I put all the faces that's blue in the safe
+
Really can't find me the words
+
You niggas is birds, I wish that I knew what to say
+
Move to your block, I don't see your face
+
Your first time back since back in the day
+
First time lit since back in the day
+
We needed that chip since back in the day
+
And my mind on the money, I'm rackin' my brain
+
And none of you pussies is actin' the same
+
Yeah, none of you **** is actin' the same
+
None of you **** is actin' the same
+
Mind on my money, I'm rackin' my brain
+

+
I'm comin' to your show and get back on the plane
+
But don't stick around in the 6
+
Don't stick around in the 6
+
[Part II]
+
Ayy

Boy gotta dip out the 6, run out the 6, just like you did (Okay)

Why was TPS at my crib until you boys slid? It is what it is (O- )
+
Check signin' is my kink, pushin' out ink, I feel like a squid (Okay)
+
I would probably need a YouTube search just for me to do a laundry load (O- )

Alex Moss tryna bring me back a hundred years from now, he got my body froze (Okay)
+
All these niggas want a head tap, I did more damage off a body blow (O- )

Damn, way niggas talkin' 'bout ice, must be a sale on microphone (Okay)

How you niggas go from askin' for some tickets? Now you niggas tryna stop the show (O- )
+
Ironic 'cause the Iceman was a nice man, now I'm hot and cold (Okay)

Boy gotta dip out the 6, run out the 6, just like you did

Drake - National Treasures Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


"National Treasures" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake released on May 15, 2026 as part of his album Iceman.

In the lead-up to the release of Iceman, fans spread Internet memes about a hypothetical title track featuring lyrics that rhyme the word "Iceman" with "nice man", as well as lines such as "I'll cook some rice, man". Unexpectedly, "National Treasures" did contain the humorous rhyme: "Ironic 'cause the Iceman was a nice man, now I'm hot and cold." Complex speculated that the lyric may be inspired by the meme.

The production consists of "eerie" synths and trap-inspired beats, before transitioning to sampled voices and industrial sounds midway through the song. Drake takes shots at basketball player DeMar DeRozan, subtly noting that he has never made it to the NBA Finals and comparing it to Kawhi Leonard winning the title of NBA MVP within a year of joining the Toronto Raptors. -Wikipedia
