SKITZO Lyrics

[Part I]

[Chorus: Travis Scott]
Beat me, I move at night when they really can’t see me
I ran it back last time but it ain’t last time
I got so much around the house, I had to hide mine (Yeah, oh)

[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
Throw it all, before I hit the door, she dropped ’em, had the clothes off (Oh)
I thought it was a setup, watch her, I can’t doze off
The dogs out the kennel, watchin’ with the scope off
With the heat talk, watch it burn your soul off (Ah)
I took ’em out of office, now they work for me now
I took her out the background, she play the lead now (Lead)
Put it in the back gate, or hold the trees down (Trees)
Tryna tell you what I need, somebody do that there
Late at night, at home, get ratchet, can you do that there?
Way out when I’m on road, you send me do that there
Told you I’ma be right back as long as—
Told you I’ma be right back as long as—
Do that there, do that there
Way out when— (Yeah)
Do that there
Late at night, at home, get ratchet, can you do that there? (Can you do it?)
Told you I’ma be right back as long as—, do that there
(Told you I’ma be right back as long as—)

[Chorus: Travis Scott & Young Thug]
Beat me, I move at night when they really can’t see me
I ran it back last time but it ain’t last time
I got so much around the house, I had to hide mine (To hide mine)
Let’s go

[Verse 2: Young Thug & Travis Scott]
Bling-bling, I get a rush every time I see some diamonds
She get it up, she gon’ bounce it like a trampoline
Keep up with swag, she be fresher than a mannequin
All type of bags in her closet like she married to me, married to me
You a puzzle, Patek Phillipe
Keep it right there with my postcode (Slatt, postcode)
I been jumpin’ out the gym with no Jordans on (Woah)
She been all above the rim on her torsos (Woah)
Princess cuts, diamonds, I got plenty
Lift it up, air it out, like linen (Yah)
Rolls Royce, big ol’ truck, I’m in it (Yah)
Bouncing ’round like he want smoke, I’m a chimney (Yah)
Tall, her hair long, she Jamaican (‘Maican)
And she tryna rage in the bedroom (Yah)
And she got a Rollie on her leg too (Leg too)
And it’s plain gold, Ace of Spade too (Yeah)
Coco Chanel for reals on her toes
I got white folk money, Eminem with no gold
I got rose gold teeth and rose gold rims on my Rolls
Peep the way they lookin’, we gettin’ richer than a bookie, ayy

[Chorus: Travis Scott]
Beat me, I move at night when they really can’t see me
I ran it back last time but it ain’t last time
I got so much around the house, I had to hide mine (To hide mine)
Believe me, I move at night when they really can’t see me
I ran it back last time but it ain’t last time
I got so much around the house, I had to hide mine (To hide mine)

[Part II]

[Segue: Travis Scott]
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

[Verse: Travis Scott]
Without goin’ deep Shakespeare
Took the squad, brought the play right here (Yeah)
Got the vision and I made that clear (Clear)
Up from two ’til it’s two runnin’ plays like the Tennessee kid (Tennessee)
I’m the one, that’s why they tryna hurt the kid (Kid)
I’m the one, JH, with the braids, with the lights
With the ike and the smoke, but I can’t stay away
See this life? Man, I can’t stay away
Find a vice, man, I can’t stay away
Find it hard, why I can’t play it safe?
Seen the top ten pen list, I don’t even know how they could pin this
Knowin’ that I’m the human Pinterest
Need true love but I know true love’s like a friendship
But even Titanic had an endin’
I rock the boat with ice so expensive
Hair long, not no extensions
Money long, shit is extended
She need me now, she need me a pendant
I said you need me now, I ain’t finished, huh

[Part III]

[Segue: Travis Scott]
I said, you need me now
I said, you need me now
You need me (Ah)

[Verse: Travis Scott]
I stick to the code, binary like I’s and O’s (Ooh)
I’m too exposed, I gotta keep curtains closed (Closed)
Her body bold, she hid it behind the clothes (Skeet, skeet, skeet)
I’m in Cabo, I’m hittin’ these adios
Tryna balance all these up and downs, but I keep poppin’ lows (Lows)
Man, it is what it is, that’s just how it goes
Pure session, I just kept progressin’, finally found the flow (Flow)
If the answer’s down there with the devil, I may never know (Let’s go)
My dawg just got freed out the precinct (Free)
Hid it in my bag, let’s hit Turks for the weekend (Let’s go)
Why did I pop two out that whole pack? Dawg, I’m tweakin’ (Geeked)
Baby girl, come suck, keep me up, ain’t no sleepin’, ooh
She gon’ let me beat that body up like we beefin’ (Beefin’)
Better yet she vegan (Vegan), better yet she tweakin’ (Tweakin’)
Yeah, 6 A.M., I hit my alarm clock (Yeah)
You see the vision, this shit non-stop, gotta keep my palms hot (Hot)
Got Longhorns in my backyard, bitch, I’m a lonestar
The droptop came with the top, I cut the door apart
My brodie keep a stainless to steal, ain’t no Chrome Heart (Grr)

[Part IV]

[Verse: Travis Scott]
I cut some off, I had to better myself
Against the odds, I’d bet on myself
I was at Frank Gibbins before Thanksgiving, thanks to my health
Too many flaws, tryna generate wealth
Man, that’s how you go broke and lose bros and lose hope in this shit
I was thinkin’ that we both could be rich, I guess it’s one-sided
Crazy how they love to talk shit and got no Trident
I’m loyal, bitch, I got Ye over Biden
I let the shit go off the top, yeah, no typin’
How I go from overlooked to these niggas is overbitin’?
How I’m always in they ear? I’m enticin’
And you ain’t gotta take it from me, I’m advisin’, for real

SKITZO Meaning

[Part I]

[Chorus: Travis Scott]
In the chorus, Travis Scott reflects on his ability to maneuver through the world unnoticed, especially during nighttime when it’s harder for others to observe his movements. His mention of “running it back” could symbolize revisiting past situations but noting that the outcome is different this time. The line about hiding things around his house points to the need to protect himself and his possessions, as he feels watched or pursued by unknown forces. This could represent the paranoia he feels as a result of the pressure and scrutiny surrounding him.

[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
Travis describes a moment where he feels the need to remain alert, unable to relax or sleep, fearing it could be a setup. The mention of dogs in the kennel being let out and watching with a scope off conveys a heightened sense of danger and surveillance. As he takes control, removing those who previously held power over him (“I took ’em out of office”), he elevates others to new roles in his life, suggesting his strategic approach to managing relationships. The lyrics emphasize his desire for clarity and communication, but there’s an underlying tension of mistrust and a need to guard himself against betrayal.

[Chorus: Travis Scott & Young Thug]
This repetition of the chorus reinforces the themes of concealment, paranoia, and protection. The collaboration with Young Thug adds a layer of camaraderie, suggesting that both artists share the experience of feeling watched and needing to protect themselves from external forces.

[Verse 2: Young Thug & Travis Scott]
Young Thug’s verse brings in a different perspective, focusing more on wealth and luxury but also weaving in the theme of vigilance. His rush from seeing diamonds and the abundance of designer bags reflect a life of excess. Yet, his reference to jumping out of the gym and someone acting like smoke emphasizes the ongoing threats and challenges even amidst success. Thug mentions relationships and expensive accessories, alluding to the idea that these luxuries are superficial distractions from the deeper struggles he faces.

[Part II]

[Segue: Travis Scott]
In this brief segue, Travis shifts the energy of the song, transitioning from the tense paranoia of the earlier verses. The lyrics here reflect a moment of clarity or calm amidst the chaos. He talks about switching his approach or adjusting his path, possibly alluding to how he deals with life’s pressures. The segue serves as a bridge to the next section, toning down the intensity momentarily but keeping the underlying sense of urgency alive.

[Part III]

[Chorus: Travis Scott & Young Thug]
The chorus repeats here, reinforcing the feelings of being hunted, watched, and the need for self-protection. By including Young Thug in the chorus, Travis builds a shared experience, symbolizing how both artists must navigate this paranoia together. Their repetition of similar lines underscores how these experiences are a constant part of their reality.

[Segue: Travis Scott]
This segue again represents a tonal shift, creating a clear division between sections of the song. Travis could be signaling a shift in mood or outlook here, preparing listeners for the next part of the song’s structure, which introduces new themes or perspectives while still connecting back to the larger narrative of paranoia, excess, and survival.

[Part IV]

[Verse: Travis Scott]
In this final verse, Travis Scott delves deeper into his personal experiences, expanding on his earlier themes of paranoia, mistrust, and success. He reflects on his rise to fame, emphasizing the consequences and the constant need to protect himself. His mention of lavish items like “designer bags” or expensive possessions contrasts with the darker undercurrent of his mental struggles, showing that material wealth doesn’t alleviate internal battles. The reference to “running from problems” or “hiding from threats” indicates that no matter how much success he achieves, these anxieties continue to haunt him.
