Fans quickly deciphered that the two names were Travis Scott and Gunna, confirming that the Travis Scott-assisted “Hot (Remix)” would appear on the deluxe version.
However, upon its release, it was realized that two songs, “Diamonds” and “Hop Off a Jet,” featured Gunna and Travis, respectively. There were also two new solo tracks, “Die Today” and “Millions.”

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm Martin Luther King, black diamonds on my wrist (run that back, Turbo)
Put Giuseppes on my kids, put Chanel Coco on my bitch
Put that four-four on the switch, then you cock, pop, pop, then dip
I've been in the trenches, the trap, to be specific
I fell in love with my bitches, then sold 'em for some riches
This money be my missus, drive me crazy, I need Ritalin
I told 'em, "I'm so slimy, I'm so shady, I admit it, yeah"
Slatt like to shoot, slatt like to murk
Twenty-one gun salute (baow), drilling, putting in work (yeah)
Cut his tonsils out (woo), I said it'd hurt (ayy)
Keep a new four-four, yeah, let it burst

Get my own cheddar, all my dogs better

The lyrics of Young Thug's "Diamonds" sounds like a celebration of material wealth, with Young Thug boasting about his diamond-encrusted jewelry, putting high-end fashion on his kids and his woman, and carrying a four-four switchblade. The song is also marked by numerous references to his life in the trenches and the trap, where he fell in love with women for their money and sold them to elevate his finances. The chorus of the song features Young Thug likening himself to Martin Luther King, with his black diamond on his wrist serving as a substitute for the activist's proverbial dream.
In the verses, Young Thug is joined by fellow rappers Slime Life Shawty, Yak Gotti, and Gunna. The rappers take turns in describing their life in the trap, with Slime Life Shawty's "Slatt" phrase becoming a recurring motif throughout the song. They also talk about doing dirt, shooting at their enemies, and justifying their violence with the more significant aim of protecting their wealth and status. The song's title, "Diamonds," reflects the rappers' lavish lifestyle, where owning expensive jewelry is the embodiment of success and power.
