[Verse 1: Young Thug]
(SEX)
Big booty bitch, I know who paid for it, yeah (Big booty bitch, I know who paid for it)
Big booty bitch, I know who paid for it (Big booty bitch, I know who paid for it)
We rock an Audemars Piguet, you ain't on no sad shit (We rock an Audemars Piguet, by hundred, yeah, yeah)
If you say your grace, I'll get your ass fixed, yeah
Diamonds, they jump out a Rolls (Rolls)
Stay with you, high, wasn't supposed ('posed)
When I'm rockin' drug addict clothes, oh, yeah (Clothes, yeah)
Peanut butter guts for the inside (Inside)
We goin' for a bite, up to Hibachis (Hibachis)
Molly came white like a Mentos, Mentos (Mentos)
I don't do credit, I don't do credit
Shut up, bitch, shine my necklace (Shut up)
Playin' with the blocks like Tetris (Yeah)
Over one-fifty on my dentures (My dentures)
Are you tying ties with all your women (Tying ties all yo')
Keep your dogs strapped down, they be reckless (Yeah, yeah)
Audemar bust down, and it's speckless (Oh, yeah)
No complaining that they calling me the best-est (Yeah)
Presi' cut bust down both necklace (Bustdown necklace)
Ain't telling no reason to disguise it (Woah)
I done seen it and turned my eyes (On God)
Tell your main ho a thousand lies (Hah)
Told my main ho the truth, that's on slime (On God)
I'm a Leo, I got nine lives (Huh)
Bounty hunters when we come for your life (Woo)
If you want see me, it's a scene (What?)
Gotta tell me everything that I need (Need)
Malcolm X told the guy how to read (Now, what?)
Like it dirty, but I'm havin' cheese (Woo)
I got a bitch in Belize (I got a bitch in Belize)
Might be pregnant and this ain't a tease (This ain't a tease)
I was tellin' my slime not to leave (I was tellin' my slime not to leave)
Too much money to be in the streets, yeah (Let's go)
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Too much money to be in the streets
Too much money to spend all on me
Too much hate and not enough love
Free Larry, free Young Thug
Free Larry, free Young Thug
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Back on road, go, get in that mode (Mode)
Shit that they been on, low vibrational
I'm on vibranium, claws, they titanium
You know we is alien, land at SoFi stadium
I feel like Hussein or sum', I been on a crazy run
If you got them cake and buns, you gon' have to save me some
This one here for YSL, I ain't talkin' Saint Laurent
Too ahead, we way upfront, throw my name, y'all play too much
Been this way, I'm way too up
[Chorus: Kanye West & Leon Bridges]
Too much money to be in the streets
Too much money to spend all on me
Too much hate and not enough love
Free Larry, free Young Thug
Free Larry, free Young Thug
Too much money to be in the streets (Huh-uh-uh)
Too much money to spend all on me
Too much hate and not enough love
Free Larry, free Young Thug
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
While we at it, free Meech, I'm the owner, this shit not a lease
I go ghost and I get out of reach 'cause I gotta protect my peace
They say to trust the process
But all I trust is me 'cause all I trust is
I gotta go and tell 'em, I said, "God bless"
Holy water, take me to the river
Holy Father, forgive me for my sins
Holy water, holy water, holy water
Free all my friends, protect my sons, protect my daughters
[Outro: Ty Dolla $ign, Charlie Wilson, The Inter Milan Ultras & Leon Bridges]
Huh-uh-uh
Take me to your river
I wanna go (Now)
Please let me know
Take me to your river
I wanna go (Now)
But please let me know
Take me to your river
I wanna go
[Verse 1: Young Thug]
Young Thug opens with a confident assertion of wealth and status, referencing luxury items and a high-end lifestyle. He mentions the importance of saying grace, indicating a nod to spirituality amidst his opulent surroundings. His references to Hibachis and Mentos illustrate a life filled with extravagance. The verse also hints at the reckless nature of some associates, suggesting a need for caution in his environment. The lines about bounty hunters and having multiple lives, along with a nod to Malcolm X, blend bravado with historical and spiritual references, showing a complex mix of influences and priorities.
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Kanye West's chorus underscores the central theme of having too much money to remain in the streets, indicating a transition from a troubled past to a more secure present. The repetition of "too much hate and not enough love" highlights the negativity and lack of compassion in the world. The calls to "free Larry, free Young Thug" emphasize a plea for justice and solidarity with those who are incarcerated.
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
In this verse, Kanye reflects on his elevated status and unique position, likening himself to an alien and referencing SoFi Stadium, a symbol of his larger-than-life presence. He speaks of a "crazy run" and implies that those who possess wealth and influence should share it. The mention of YSL (Young Stoner Life) aligns with Young Thug's label, indicating support and camaraderie. Kanye's references to vibranium and titanium claws allude to his resilience and strength.
[Chorus: Kanye West & Leon Bridges]
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the themes of wealth, the transition from street life, and a call for justice and freedom for incarcerated individuals. Leon Bridges' addition brings a soulful quality, enhancing the emotional depth of the message.
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Kanye extends his call for freedom to Meech (presumably referring to Big Meech), further emphasizing his concern for those incarcerated. He mentions going "ghost" to protect his peace, indicating a need for solitude and introspection. The verse concludes with a plea for divine blessing and forgiveness, symbolized by holy water, and a prayer for the protection of his loved ones.
[Outro: Ty Dolla $ign, Charlie Wilson, The Inter Milan Ultras & Leon Bridges]
The outro is a soulful plea to be taken to the river, a symbol of cleansing and renewal.
