HUNCHO JACK Travis Scott & Quavo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cardo got wings

Ice cold, 'frigerator froze
Bankrolls, cheese nachos
Superbowl, Quavo scooped and scored
Once you get a slice, you gotta get a loaf
Once I get that cake, I just can't let it go
She put it in my face, I'm just gon' let it flow

She say she want that flake, yeah, I give her snow
She gets so hot, she get too high, UFO

Oh, I guess, oh, oh, I guess
Ride around and flex, disrespect
Yeah, link with me, light my neck and link with me
Yeah, lean and weed, can't control the lean and weed
So low-key with it, but so high-key with it
Like in a stingray, know a nigga be with it, yeah

Quavo, they callin' me Saint Nick
We at the top like the North Pole
Ice cold, 'frigerator froze
Ice cold, 'frigerator froze

Ice cold, 'frigerator froze
Bankrolls, cheese nachos
Superbowl, Quavo scooped and scored
Once you get a slice, you gotta get a loaf
Once I get that cake, I just can't let it go
She put it in my face, I'm just gon' let it flow
She say she want that flake, yeah, I give her snow
She gets so hot, she get too high, UFO

Ice cold, 'frigerator froze
Bankrolls, cheese nachos
Superbowl, Quavo scooped and scored
Once you get a slice, you gotta get a loaf
Once I get that cake, I just can't let it go
She put it in my face, I'm just gon' let it flow
She say she want that flake, yeah, I give her snow
She gets so hot, she get too high, UFO

Oh, I guess, oh, oh, I guess
Ride around and flex, disrespect
Yeah, link with me, light my neck and link with me
Yeah, lean and weed, can't control the lean and weed

So low-key with it, but so high-key with it
Like in a stingray, know a nigga be with it, yeah
