[Intro]
Um...

[Verse 1]
I'm having sex with molly (Hey, what?)
Fuck a bodyguard (Ha)

But this ho right here she's a real hottie (She hot)
Make me fuck around and climb on the top rope like Scotty 2 Hotty (That move)
Powerbomb, baby (Huh)
No, actually these are powerbombs, baby (Uh-huh)
And I hope they make it so I can go and get me some baby (Hey, what?)

Uh, my blunt stay like real [?] baby
Try to rob, put some sight upon his head (What's that?)
That's a power bomb baby! (Haha)

I tell her: whip this here (Hey, what?), then go get that babe (Go get that)
And these niggas, they ain't hard (They what?), they like wet crack baby (Catch up, nigga)
Treat his body like two bricks (Just what?), just split that babe (Haha)
On the old watch for new reason (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Got a wear coat with my jewels like it's flu season (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Just bought my son a blue coat (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

[Chorus]
In a brand new whips, just me my friend (And what?)

I see, where they at (Now what's your shit), CRE and Young Thugga, but where they at? (Yeah)

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.
