[Chorus]
I done grinded, I done grind, I wasted time, I've been to jail
I been to hell, did everything that I want
My baby mommy stopped beefin' about me
I can't help all of y'all, I want millions and everything that I want
My OGs that believe in me and and achieve with me
Oh yeah, everything that I want
Everything, but I want, everything that I want

[Verse 1]
Ha, you gon' miss this purse, you gon' be best friends
All your doin' is flexin', give me my necklace
Who the fuck you textin'
When I met you, you was nothin', you was nobody nexts
You was nobody prizes, now you a contestant
And you a lil' messy
But I'ma clean it up for you
You think I'm slow so I'm gon' speed it up for you
I'ma put you on my homie, he gon' beat it up for you
Cuz you ain't true, how the fuck your pants got a U, huh?
Why not your shit they can miss with my tool, hey
Bitch thinkin' I'm blue, really I'm red
I freestyle every time, how I do that?
Just get on the back of this beat like you got paid

[Chorus]
I done grinded, I done grind, I wasted time, I've been to jail
I been to hell, did everything that I want
My baby mommy stopped beefin' about me
I can't help all of y'all, I want millions and everything that I want
My OGs that believe in me and and achieve with me
Oh yeah, everything that I want
Everything, but I want, everything that I want

[Verse 2]
I believe I can [?] and then cut your lights
Young TI, you can have whatever you like
Yeah, we on the plane so we can take our flight
Let's travel to L.A. so we can take a hike
But if she screaming I'm feelin' like Ike
And yeah, I got them yopsters so you should fright
Unless it's Friday the thirteenth
Thousand dollar links, wintertime minks
Lean for the drinks, you can't even think
Money run just like a lake, better yet a sink
Baby, use your brain, better yet think
Now, bend over and let me hit you on this plane

[Chorus]
I done grinded, I done grind, I wasted time, I've been to jail
I been to hell, did everything that I want
My baby mommy stopped beefin' about me
I can't help all of y'all, I want millions and everything that I want
My OGs that believe in me and and achieve with me
Oh yeah, everything that I want
Everything, but I want, everything that I want

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.
