[Chorus]
Have you ever seen some VVS's
Have you ever felt like Houston Texas
Have you went off first impressions
Have you ever pulled up in there flexin'
Run it up nigga
If you ain't, run it up nigga
You got, run it up, nigga
You got one chance, run it up nigga
Run it up nigga

[Verse 1]
I'm gon' run it up nigga, I'm gon' stack my cash, ya bitch
Run it up now I'm not average
I got three stripes like a fucking Simons
You know I cock it, I bust it at everyone around me
Is dogs, no husky this Blood shit is real
I'm screaming free Bloody, not Gucci not Dolph
But you know I'm muddy, your boyfriend my buddy
I shoot at your hair now you got a mullet
No drankin' that Act' you niggas drink 'tussin
I leave out the club, I left that bitch flooded

[Bridge]
Rain dance, rain dance, rain dance, rain dance
She want a lil' rain dance
She whispered in my ear and said "No flex"
And I whispered in her ear and said "Yeah, yeah"

[Chorus]
Have you ever seen some VVS's
Have you ever felt like Houston Texas
Have you went off first impressions
Have you ever pulled up in there flexin'
Run it up nigga
If you ain't, run it up nigga
You got, run it up, nigga
You got one chance, run it up nigga
Run it up nigga

[Verse 2]
I'm a motherfucking stoner
Catch your bitch, you know Young Thug gon' bone her
All you niggas you know they gon' clone it
We don't got no one but yeah they want us
Woo, woo, woo, ya bitch
I'm Snoop, Peewee Longway, Uncle Luke
Redbone ridin' round with me, I call her soup
Gold chain on me like I cut it out a flute
I just juuged a 100 and I gave it to my homies
I can't cry, if it ain't with it, it ain't on me
60-inch plasmas on all my home man
I'm riding on that Campbell like Naomi

[Chorus]
Have you ever seen some VVS's
Have you ever felt like Houston Texas
Have you went off first impressions
Have you ever pulled up in there flexin'
Run it up nigga
If you ain't, run it up nigga
You got, run it up, nigga
You got one chance, run it up nigga
Run it up nigga

Jeffery Lamar Williams (b. August 16, 1991), popularly known as Young Thug, is an innovative trap artist from Atlanta known for his experimental vocal styles on versatile production ranging from hard trap beats to experimental pop records. Thug is known as a pioneer for much of the 2010s generation of rap, and his constant cosigns, features, and chart presence cement his status as a leader in the streaming era and current rap scene.

While Young Thug released his first mixtape in 2011, it wasn’t until fellow ATL trap artist Gucci Mane took Thug under his wing in 2013 that he began to see great success as an artist. That year, Thug released his first major hit, “Stoner,” which quickly gained viral traction on social media, then “Danny Glover,” which propelled him to an even larger scale of success. After Gucci Mane went to prison in 2013, Thug saw success by re-aligning himself with Cash Money Records’s own Birdman and his newly-formed Rich Gang collective with the hit single “Lifestyle” and a collaborative mixtape before officially signing to 300 Ent. in 2015. Under 300, Thug continued to release many more singles, mixtapes, and features, gradually boosting his popularity before releasing his debut album, So Much Fun, which topped the Billboard 200 on August 31, 2019.

After 2015’s “Best Friend” became Thug’s first platinum single, his 2016 collaboration with Travis Scott, “pick up the phone,” became his new highest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100. This would later be succeeded by “Havana” with Camila Cabello, the best-selling single of 2018. However, his current highest-charting song as lead artist is “Hot,” which topped the Rolling Stone 100 and peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing his previous biggest hit, “The London,” which peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
