[Intro]
(Ooh, Planet 9)
Uh, what is she talkin' 'bout?
Pass my phone, bro
I ain't even wash my face yet, I'm trippin'
Umm

[Chorus]
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
Oooh, what's your name?
You can follow me and I might just do the same
But you gotta be a dime, which is 20 minus 10
And you retweet everything that I'm sayin'

[Verse 1]
Oooh, I love my models, I love who I follow
I love my followers, especially her
She say she got her mom listenin' to my shit
Upload it on Twitter, now they vibin' to that shit
Oooh, a hundred new follows today
What's the deal? One of them niggas said "Hey"
What you talkin' 'bout?
All of them bitches said, "Shit, that's what you're talkin' 'bout"
So everyone say "Shouts out" to me like "Shouts out to Thug"

[Chorus]
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
Oooh, what's your name?
You can follow me and I might just do the same
But you gotta be a dime, which is 20 minus 10
And you retweet everything that I'm sayin'

[Verse 2]
Got a tall lightskinned girl, she a sex freak
Gotta be Travis Porter, cause she ain't got no cheeks
But we're both freaks, and I told the little girl
I can Twitter pound, but I don't eat out
My girl follow me so no tweets
Know you gotta DM me, that's what she talkin' 'bout
I'm 'bout to write a new tweet, that's what he talkin' 'bout
Everyone say "Shouts out" to me like "Shouts out to Thug"

[Chorus]
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
Oooh, what's your name?
You can follow me and I might just do the same
But you gotta be a dime, which is 20 minus 10
And you retweet everything that I'm sayin'

[Verse 3]
You can go to my profile and my location say Thug's World
You on your profile pic kissin' her but that's Thug's girl
She's been to Thug's World, and she like it there
I fuck with Planet Nine, now I'm everywhere
My timeline been poppin' all day (It's 4)
I ain't even see you follow me (what you talkin' 'bout?)
My network game is on key
So I'ma need everyone to say "Shouts out" to me, okay?

[Chorus]
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
Oooh, what's your name?
You can follow me and I might just do the same
But you gotta be a dime, which is 20 minus 10
And you retweet everything that I'm sayin'
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
What's your name on Twitter? I might follow you
Oooh, what's your name?
You can follow me and I might just do the same
But you gotta be a dime, which is 20 minus 10
And you retweet everything that I'm sayin'

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.
