[Intro: Young Thug]
Thugga
I-I-I really love my F A N S
You know what I’m saying brodee?
I appreciate those people, you know what I’m saying bro?
They want a parade, yeah

[Hook: Young Thug]
I won’t sell no yay, I won’t own saran
I won’t live my life, I won’t make no plans
Stand up on that stage, I love all my fans
Mama say hooray, everyone clap your hands
Clap your motherfucking hands
Clap your motherfucking hands
Clap your motherfucking hands
Clap your motherfucking hands

[Verse 1: Young Thug]
I just came straight from the bottom
Young Thugga came straight up from nothing
I know you think I owe you something
I don’t give no damns, you supposed to feel like that
I got yellow diamonds, Imma peel like that
Pull up to my show see all the peoples fall in love
Salute all the DJ, they do this shit for Thug
They know I came straight up from the floor just like a rug
They know I smell like YSL so they ready for hugs
Hundred racks in my trousers, I’m groovy like Austin Powers
You knowing just not to touch me unless a Young Thug allow it
I bless the bitch with allowance, you want packs I’m gonna file it
Ever since I heard of Future I’ve been sneaking up at Follies
Baby I want to caress you (know why?)
Every time I see you I’m gonna sex you (oh my god)
Bitch [?] but I molest you
I’m flash you

[Hook: Young Thug]
I won’t sell no yay, I won’t own saran
I won’t live my life, I won’t make no plans
Stand up on that stage, I love all my fans
Mama say hooray, everyone clap your hands
Clap your motherfucking hands
Clap your motherfucking hands
Clap your motherfucking hands
Clap your motherfucking hands

[Verse 2: MPA Duke]
It’s a great blessing whenever I hit the stage
I used to do this shit for free, but now I’m getting paid
On my way to being king, so who’s gon stop me
Thinking of a master plan, who’s on top? Me
Whatever I get Imma give back to my hood homies
And that’s love, raising me in the hood homie (big ups)
And all the clubs wall to wall, the fire marshall’s out
Nobody else did, it’s all sold out
Man, and they know I’m different, me and Thugga Thugga
On my mama, that’s my brother, we been rocking like a carpet
On the way to the top floor, I’m serious, you can see it in my face
When they shut the lights out the fans scream MPA

[Hook: Young Thug]
I won’t sell no yay, I won’t own saran
I won’t live my life, I won’t make no plans
Stand up on that stage, I love all my fans
Mama say hooray, everyone clap your hands
Clap your motherfucking hands
Clap your motherfucking hands
Clap your motherfucking hands
Clap your motherfucking hands

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.
