The year is 2026, Drake and Kendrick Lamar are sitting on a park bench in the early hours of morning. The unlikely pair sat without saying a word before Drake broke the silence. Drake: When did you know? Kendrick: I have always known. Drake: All this time, you never said a word, Why? Kendrick: I remember you telling me you were conflicted, and when you started misusing your influence, I knew something was wrong. Drake: that still makes no sense, it wasn't like I was the only artist to act out. Kendrick: You are Canadian Drake, of course, I knew. Drake finds his hands shaking and his voice quivering Drake: I thought I was done for, that the only way out was death. I was so afraid. Nobody understood me but then I heard the jeers and the laughter and in all of it was your voice that pulled me out. Adonis my son, I thought I would never see him anymore and Crodie...oh god Crodie!! Kendrick: Crodie's safe with me in Compton, No one can touch him there, so is Adonis and your daughter, but you will have to fight your place back in their lives. Drake: A daughter? so what you said, those were real? Kendrick: Yeah she was born after you went to sleep. Kendrick: The diss tracks were the only way to wake you up, I had to destroy you to save you. Drake looks at Kendrick he doesn't say a word for a minute. Drake: After I lost my reputation, I felt the grip they held around me loosen, and that's when I heard it, your voice, echoing, it took me a while to completely gain control of my body but it was your voice that led me. Kendrick: I am glad you are okay. *gets up to leave* Drake: Will I see you again? Kendrick: Go see your children Drake, make sure to give them the love they deserve. Drake: What will you do? Kendrick smiles and walks away as he mumbles his lines from King Kunta, " I got a bone to pick, I got a few to break, I got a whole city to wake" He pulls his hood up, wears his shades, and walks off mixed into the crowd of people as the morning sun ascends further into the sky. . . . A man in a dark robe looks at Drake via a screen, he opens his drawer and pulls out an oddly shaped triangular box with red buttons, he presses the buttons and whispers in a deep and raspy broken voice, "We have lost another one...........It was Kungfu Kenny" --CUTS TO BLACK--
