[Hook]
In the Phantom drinkin' Kool-aid cause I'm paid
Bout to take a trip to UK cause I'm paid
In the Phantom drinkin' Kool-aid cause I'm paid
Bout to take a trip to UK cause I'm paid
In the Phantom drinkin' Kool-aid cause I'm paid
Bout to take a trip to UK cause I'm paid
And we stars now, hoo-ray cause I'm paid
Livin' life like a movie cause I'm paid
And my whole brew shine like stars cause I’m paid
Walk inside the blub and buy them ball cause I’m paid
And we live life like neighborhood stars cause I'm paid
Everywhere we go they know who we are cause I'm paid

[Verse 1 Young Thug]
Boolin' in that Phantom, thinkin' bout your momma
Cop a big body Benz, ride it like Obama
He say he gone make it rain, I was like Tsunami
Bout to pop a G5, ride it like a stunna
Plane crash, right in her ass
I no longer smoke weed, I'm blowin' grass
That lawnmower, hit and pass
And yes we really blowin', birthday bash
That's birthday cash for you slow learners
We the earth wormers and we the leaders
I'm really preachin' to 'em, listen to the preacher
Shawn let 'em (?)

In the Phantom drinkin' Kool-aid cause I'm paid
Bout to take a trip to UK cause I'm paid
In the Phantom drinkin' Kool-aid cause I'm paid
Bout to take a trip to UK cause I'm paid
In the Phantom drinkin' Kool-aid cause I'm paid
Bout to take a trip to UK cause I'm paid
And we stars now, hoo-ray cause I'm paid
Livin' life like a movie cause I'm paid
And my whole crew shine like stars cause I'm paid
Walk inside the blub and buy them all cause I’m paid
And we live life like neighborhood stars cause I'm paid
Everywhere we go they know who we are cause I'm paid

[Verse 2]
First of all lets have a toast
Second of all we gone do drugs til we overdose
Third of all put your hands in the air if you do the most
Fuck fourth of all but fifth of all this for the East Boast
And my money still talk like Charlie Sheen
And I'm walkin' green
And we don't floss these, we off these
Give a shouts out to Molly G
I want money please
I molly please, I want Miley please
No fix you can count them D's
And that Chevy wet, it need napkins please
Don't forget the T's
Ride old school don't forget the D's
My swag brazy, red leatheries, please

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.
