[Intro]
(Cardo)
Yeah
Blatt, blatt, Zoo Crew, Dulu
Haha, yeah
Ayy (Swamp, Swamp Izzo)

[Chorus]
I guess I got your respect
'Cause that Indian got your back, girl (Yeah)
I want you to drop it low
Pick it up and bring it back, girl (Yeah)
And I know you see me in this club with these bands on me
Stayed four songs, then she ran down me
Caught up with us, set plans on me (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I got rose gold chains 'round my neck 'cause I'm a black dude (Shinin')
She didn't wanna fuck me (Why?), she wanna fuck my tattoos (Truly)
I will tat dude (Blat), I will splat dude (Splat, splat)
My blunts the largest, smokin' Pee Wee's garden (Wheezy)
In the club with fifty hoes, ain't none one of them arguin' (They not)
Weed give me the munchies, might just eat tamale, I'm starvin
Give 'em Biggie, still ballin'
Shouts out to GM, free UnkFunk, G and Marley
Ooh, and I'll miss you baby
You know I-I love you babe
She runnin' circles 'round a nigga like the equator
I gotta date her, I wouldn't rape her, I gotta skate her
(Hold up, let's go)

[Chorus]
I guess I got your respect
'Cause that Indian got your back, girl (Yeah)
I want you to drop it low
Pick it up and bring it back, girl (Yeah)
And I know you see me in this club with these bands on me
Stayed four songs, then she ran down me
Caught up with us, set plans on me (Yeah, Swamp, Swamp Izzo)

[Verse 2]
I got hoes breathin' all over my dick like it's a heart (And what?)
I got tons of that weight livin' in my house like Bubba Sparxxx
Got a tall lightskinned ho that like to get tats, she a work of art
Got a bitch number in my phone
Don't call her phone 'less I need her card, oh
You flyin' with me, or you gon' stay with them?
Baby, use your head, you can't lay with them (Okay cool, you trippin')
Not a kid, baby play with 'em (Watch out)
That nigga, that boy say one assist, that's a pair of Timbs
And I'll miss you baby, I love you baby
I was leanin' when I mugged you, babe
And you know I was horny when I rubbed you, babe (Let's go)

[Chorus]
I guess I got your respect
'Cause that Indian got your back, girl (Yeah)
I want you to drop it low
Pick it up and bring it back, girl (Yeah)
And I know you see me in this club with these bands on me
Stayed four songs, then she ran down me
Caught up with us, set plans on me

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.
