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

[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]
