Astro

Yeah

Sun is down, freezin' cold

That's how we already know winter's here

My dawg would prolly 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

Gone on you with the pick and roll

Young LaFlame, he in sicko mode

[Travis Scott]

(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 to Papoose

Had to hit my old town to duck the news

Two-four hour lockdown, we made no moves

Now it's 4AM 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

[Juicy J, Swae Lee & Travis Scott]

Some-some-some-someone said

To win the retreat, we all in too deep

Pla-pla-playin' for keeps, don't play us for weak (someone said)

To win the retreat, we all in too deep

Pla-pla-playin' for keeps, don't play us for weak (yeah)

[Travis Scott & Swae Lee]

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 booch

'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 (someone said)

Shorty FaceTimed me out the blue

[Juicy J & Swae Lee]

Someone said

Pla-pla-playin' for keeps

Someone said, motherf- what someone said

Don't play us for weak
