[Chorus: Young Thug]
Got a thousand ways new dressing island
Me and Skooly [?] like a thousand islands
Thugger Thugger got cash steady piling
But a young crew steady ready wiling
Dive in, okay bool
Slide in, okay bool
Dive in, okay bool
Okay cool, okay cool

[Verse 1: Young Thug]
Hickory dickory duck
I'm on my way to the motherfuckin' top, non-stop
I got all these bitches askin' when that album comin' out
I got plasmas in my roof, I'm askin' when they gonna drop
But they ain't, cause I sold a lot of dope to [?] my plug [?]
My money turned into water, it'll be a flood this way
I'm sippin' on some lean that's thicker than mud or somethin'
I got so much weed in my blunt, you could cuff a body or somethin'
But this the movement, join in
And every week we swipe up, bowling pens
I love my X double L and Rock friends
Money makin' basketball players, Coach Kidd

[Chorus: Young Thug]
Got a thousand ways new dressing island
Me and Skooly [?] like a thousand islands
Thugger Thugger got cash steady piling
But a young crew steady ready wiling
Dive in, okay bool
Slide in, okay bool
Dive in, okay bool
Okay cool, okay cool

[Verse 2: Skooly]
Up and on it, still movin' slowly
Pain so big, I got tears up to my shoulders
I'm unloading, fuck it I'm reloadin'
Bout to hop off in your bitch
She gone ride me like I'm stolen, ugh
Not an animal, a monster darlin'
Patrick Ewing, Michael Jordan ballin'
I'm hardly ballin'
That nigga better not play with the homies
But on that roster for the rastas homie
Send them rastas on ya
Never will I leave my brothers
Never will I leave my mother
Forever need my mother
I forever feed my brothers
I plant a seed they gonna feed the others
The streets, they love us

[Chorus: Young Thug]
Got a thousand ways new dressing island
Me and Skooly [?] like a thousand islands
Thugger Thugger got cash steady piling
But a young crew steady ready wiling
Dive in, okay bool
Slide in, okay bool
Dive in, okay bool
Okay cool, okay cool

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.
