[Intro: YL Stunna]
Uh, as the blunt slowly burns
I pass through Cleveland the point of no return
And if you make it out alive, don't return
Let me fly free, man, fuck a urn
Smoke my ashes, taste my dust
This shit was really easy like fuckin' two sluts
And this money on my mind so I ain't fucked in two months
And when it comes down to a bitch, I don't be carin' too much (Swamp Izzo)
Where ever ya'll at, we above that
Lord knows I hope the Feds bring my plug back
ROC Crew, TJ said, what's poppin', 5ive?
And they say money talks, well then my tongue is tied

[Chorus: Young Thug]
Oh, and I'll just beat you like an instrumental
We go harder than y'all
And we go farther than y'all (Ha)

[Verse 1: YL Stunna]
I swear I hate ya'll, ya'll nigga act like felines
Talkin' bout your flow sick, boy, that means my shit dyin'
Treat you like my old woman, beat you like you stole somethin'
Niggas actin' like they take when they ain't never stole nothin' (Haha)
And we sittin' at the top and I ain't comin' down
I ain't comin' down
No sounds when I come around
When I come around

[Chorus: Young Thug]
Oh, and I'll just beat you like an instrumental
We go harder than y'all
And we go farther than y'all
Oh, and I'll just beat you like an instrumental
We go harder than y'all
And we go farther than y'all
Thugger (Hoodrich, nigga)

[Verse 2: Young Thug]
Your bitch, I gotta collar like a leash and she's a tit
Now my ROC Crew buddy my weed is, my drank is muddy
My bitch is slutty
I fuck them hoes and hand 'em to ROC Crew buddy
I leave out the side and come back in, them bitches fuckin' on them
And we sittin' at the top of y'all niggas
Fuck, sling, sellin', never cop with y'all niggas
So I aim to go hard and I ain't stoppin' y'all
Even them bitches that we fuckin', they on top of y'all

[Chorus: Young Thug]
Oh, and I'll just beat you like an instrumental
We go harder than y'all
And we go farther than y'all (I said, hold up)
(I said, I said)
And I'll just beat you like an instrumental
We go harder than y'all, yeah
And we go farther than y'all, 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.
