My click house go stupid
My click house go stupid (Trappin' out the bag)
Click house goin' stupid (Trappin' out the bag)
Why these motherfuckers always in the front yard
Shootin' dice on the porch, them lil' niggas got them broads
The pots on the stove, the cocaine about finished
Killers stone game, I got killer stone wrists
OG Boobie Black can make a half a whole brick
Racks after racks rubber bandin' up the money
I show a lot of love to keep the dope fiends comin'
My click house go stupid
My click house go stupid (Trappin' out the bag)
Click house goin' stupid (Trappin' out the bag)
Woah
All the cars in the yard, loud loud music
Them lil' boys they go hard, them lil' boys stupid
Now they call me Bruce Wayne
Shout out Ivy Liu Kang
I'm like Malcolm, I don't do chains
Dress casual, I can do thangs
Pinky rang, grippin' grain, bitch I'm Don Key
My favorite favorite mixtape OG
Breadwinner team 'til the day that I die
Carolina man spankin', cocaine I supply
I'm like Clyde
I just glide
In the kitchen let it dry
Head up murder, I just seen a homicide
On that mad man shit like bitch I'm finna die
All he got is twenty-five
Fuck it come with twenty-nine
My click house go stupid
My click house go stupid (Trappin' out the bag)
Click house goin' stupid (Trappin' out the bag)
I just got a bid from Bibby
I let Mills re-compress it
I don't do no water whippin' 'less somebody want some extra
Been on springs me and Marlo
My chick got the text from Birdman on the line
Order twenty, 'bout to catch him
Fuck the rap I'm trynna trap out'chere
But I ain't see him cheat
Got it parked in front the mansion
Damn, been like this for weeks
Shit I got so many bricks out'chere
I ain't seen a key
Compartment on the auto start it
I ain't see him leave
My click house go stupid
My click house go stupid (Trappin' out the bag)
Click house goin' stupid (Trappin' out the bag)

In "Click House," rapper Kevin Gates details the workings of a trap house that is constantly trappin' out the bag. The song is essentially an ode to the illegal activities that take place in this house, from shooting dice on the porch to selling drugs non-stop. He describes an environment in which the hustle never stops, with cellphones constantly clicking away and the pots on the stove going non-stop to finish cooking the cocaine. The click house is a place where killers have a "stone game," and rubber band after rubber band is used to band up the cash made from selling drugs. Through it all, Gates shows love to the dope fiends who keep coming back for more.
Gates continues to describe the click house's goings-on, with people constantly in the front yard shooting dice, loud music blaring from the cars parked there, and others just hanging out. Gates describes these people as stupid, which could be meant sarcastically or as a way of highlighting their dedication to the hustle. He also references his own personal style, describing himself as dressing casually and only wearing his pinky ring. He raps about his connections to other rappers, including Bibby and Mills, and mentions his girlfriend receiving a text from Birdman. Gates also talks about the large amounts of drugs he has on hand, including so many bricks that he no longer bothers to keep track of the number of keys he has.
Overall, the lyrics of "Click House" are a gritty portrayal of life in a trap house. While Gate's tough lyrics may not suit everyone, the song is a vivid depiction of the reality for many, living on the edge of the law.
