[Verse 1: Young Thug]
You know I'm trynna make a mili
You know I turn a broke ho into a fuckin' (?)
I thug for life, my nickname Makaveli
Fuckin' right, a February nigga scary
She braid my hair, R. motherfuckin' Kelly
She shave with Nair, pussy sticky like jelly
We in the Air Force, they call us Nelly
And this real Thug, yup it came from Jeffrey
Yup, my molly see through like jelly .. fish
And we ain't gotta watch TV, let's make a dish
I'm sharper than a motherfuckin' razor, razor
100 extra thousand in my blazer, blazer
Fuck you too good, wake up the neighbor, neighbor
Ay bruh, say her, everything red like a laser
And everything red like my label

[Hook: Young Thug]
All on my time piece, that for real
Goon right behind me, that for real
You now they ain't gone try me, that for real
You know they gone die, be dead for real
Them bitches love Young Thug, that for real
I'm up like a (?), that for real
I don't care about smelling like her, that for real
I'm a Young player, need a pimp cup, that for real

[Verse 2: PeeWee Longway]
Shout out to pour six slugs and .38 with six slug
A youngin' thuggin' with a .38 to hit ya
This ain't a plastic gun, this thug life nigga
Young Thugger Thugger live the thug life with me
We from Jonesburg South, no strap no trap
Longway in the booth strapped now, nigga
Marked up like a vato, get with them choppo
Clean bricks runnin' through em nigga, hella guapo
And we got four spots, Be different narcs though
When the doors swanging, just Bentley put yoppa on 'em
2013 drop top, just to pop on 'em
Thugger Thugger, ya I seen, Forgiato no limp
He got a lot of suckers mad with they lip out
That's why I stand extra there with my clip out
Before these suckers Thugger
Hit the lot and bust a bag on 'em
Pouring OG bag gas money on 'em, Longway

[Hook: Young Thug]
All on my time piece, that for real
Goon right behind me, that for real
You now they ain't gone try me, that for real
You know they gone die, be dead for real
Them bitches love Young Thug, that for real
I'm up like a (?), that for real
I don't care about smelling like her, that for real
I'm a Young player, need a pimp cup, that for real

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.
