née-nah Lyrics By 21 Savage ft. Travis Scott & Metro Boomin

[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
I took a ballerina down to the ball dance
Met a couple ball players, found a ball stance
Now we in the bathroom, she found a ball face
Took some shots and balled out, now how the stall taste?
I can't even go inside, my old hoes might hear
I might need to hit the town, I need you right here, right here
'Til she reached in the trunk and found a nina
I told her, "Baby, that's Nina Simone"
Ayy, drivin' through the liquor store faded, braided
Hands in this motherfucker wavin', hazy
'80s like the '90s and 2000s (Tuh-tuh-tuh-tuh-tuh-tuh-tuh)
Drivin' through this motherfucker, wildin'
Ayy, Brady seven pack, they come in bunch
I been with the 'quad on a high note, gettin' C-notes
Different presentation to this vibe, you need a keynote
Presi' 'round this motherfucker, I ain't sendin' vetos
Ain't no stoppin' shit or stoppin' licks, them boys on G-O
Battin' out the 504, I saved her name as "Creole"
Balance when I'm on a road, I get the go and T-O
Dominatrix Matrix when she do it like I'm Neo
Shit is off its sockets, they lock in
Mama said live up to my name, but they jockin'
They gon' try go and take your face for the profit
They gon' lie, they gon' slip and slide, get beside ya
They gon' try, we a hundred deep like Verizon
In the trees with the bumble bees on horizon
Ain't catchin' Zs, I been in in the V, on road to Zion
Sell they souls, hoppin' in that mode that I ain't buyin'

[Chorus: 21 Savage]
He ain't Slaughter Gang, then he ain't official (Yeah)
When that chopper sing, you really think that they gon' miss you?
I spent a half a million dollars on dismissals
It's gon' be a hearse, not a verse if I diss you (Mhm)
Got me fucked up, nigga, got me fucked up (Yeah)
When I send it past the ceilin', that shit stuck up
All that talkin', actin' tough get you roughed up (21, 21)
If your wifey at the spot, she gettin' bust up (21, 21)

[Verse 2: 21 Savage & BabyDrill]
Rich nigga, got my strap from Tommy Hilfiger (21)
Red, white, and blue, American, I kill niggas (Pussy)
Spray his block and then pull off, this a real dipple (Skrrt)
Bottega pick my cotton, but I'm a field nigga (On God)
I be sittin' inside the house 'cause I don't feel niggas (Fuck 'em)
Fuck with Baby, but my baby like to drill niggas (BabyDrill)
Claustrophobic, I don't even like to chill with 'em (21)
Guess I'm fake since everybody say they real niggas (On God)
Got a whoopin', but you still ain't learned your lesson, huh? (Pussy)
Hard-headed, you won't end up on a stretcher, huh? (Pussy)
Oh, you Usher now, you givin' out confessions, huh? (Pussy)
On the blogs like these hoes, oh, you messy, huh? (Pussy)
Put a Louis logo on my switch
I know Virgil probably lookin' down like, "Damn, this nigga back on that shit" (21)
Back inside the club with my blick (21)
Playin' freeze tag, shit, I'm tryna see who it (On God)
Niggas say we opps, when they see me, don't do shit (On God)
Only person believe that you a killer is your bitch (21)
Makin' diss songs, this nigga died about a diss (Facts)
If I see my opps while I'm in cuffs, then I'ma spit (Pussy)
Wanna kill the world about your bitch 'cause she on dick (21)
Thinkin' 'bout the hoes that I'ma shit on while I piss (21)
You ain't heard my music, why you ballin' up your fists? (21)
Reverb on the chopper, it go, "Baow" when it hit (21)

[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
Travis Scott's verse starts with vivid imagery of a night out, where he engages in high-energy and risky behavior. He describes an encounter with a woman and the ensuing chaotic and hedonistic events. The verse captures a sense of living on the edge, where moments of pleasure and danger are intertwined. The reference to finding a gun in the trunk symbolizes the constant presence of danger and the need to stay prepared in their lifestyle. He also touches on the idea of maintaining a facade, where people around him are not always genuine, and the challenges of navigating fame and loyalty in such an environment.

[Chorus: 21 Savage]
In the chorus, 21 Savage establishes the rules and consequences of his world. He asserts the importance of being a part of the "Slaughter Gang" to be considered official and highlights the fatal consequences of crossing them. The mention of spending a significant amount on dismissals indicates the lengths they go to protect themselves legally. The chorus emphasizes the seriousness of their threats and the violent reality they live in.

[Verse 2: 21 Savage & BabyDrill]
21 Savage's verse continues the theme of violence and loyalty. He discusses the brand of his gun, emphasizing its lethal nature, and references the American flag colors to underline his pride and readiness to defend himself. He expresses distrust towards others, even those who claim to be real, and the difficulty of finding genuine people in his life. The verse also touches on past experiences of betrayal and the consequences faced by those who try to oppose him. BabyDrill's brief contribution supports the themes of violence and loyalty, reinforcing the harsh realities they deal with.

[Chorus: 21 Savage]
The chorus is repeated, reinforcing the themes of loyalty, violence, and the consequences of acting tough. The repetition serves to emphasize the persistent and unrelenting nature of their environment, where every action has serious repercussions.
