Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's true
Know the plan
Last time I wrecked it, last time I whipped around
Last time I did the whippets (yeah), last time I live reverse (yeah, yeah, ooh)
Pour the brown, hit the reverend (yeah), last time I hit your crib (yeah)
Last time there was no tenants
Fuck, I risked it, patience sell (yeah)
Found you livin', know you thrillin', not for sinnin' (yeah)
How I got my stripes in business, backin' out in the street (yeah)
What is wild, let it be, ragers out, gotta eat (yeah)
Not a vibe (yeah), but a wave, with the sound by the way
Count it down, by the days (ooh)
To myself, know they wicked, with the moves (ooh, ooh)
I'm drinkin', off the juice, know I'm drinkin'
I be smooth, then I lose it, yeah, yeah now
You don't know where we stand (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's true (yeah, yeah)
Know the plan
Close the opera
Hear the red and blue outside, I think our option's up
I recrossed it 'round the map, I had to line it up
I be swervin' on the waves, it's like a line of us (yeah, yeah)
Move in 'verse on my turf, I'm outta line, I put in work
I draw the line and cross it first
I need the time, I need the search
It's just like wine, it make it worse
Skrrt, skrrt in the 'vert, skrrt, skrrt
Ride on land, Boeing jet, make it land
It's slow motion when I dance
In your eyes, I see your trance
I run away and then you prance
If I show the hideaway, would you hide out and let it blam?
Ain't no time, I'm facin' scams, nah, nah (yeah)
You don't know where we stand (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's true (yeah, yeah)
(Ooh)
Ooh
The song "The Plan" by Travis Scott is a powerful tune that speaks vividly about the artist's mindset regarding his current actions, past actions, and future aspirations. The lyrics, "You don't know where we stand, it's true, know the plan" signify that he is aware that people might not understand him or his vision, but he has a clear sense of what he wants to achieve. In the first verse, he talks about his past antics, where he did drugs and visited different places that he regretted. His experiences made him feel like he had gone back to hell. However, he still takes risks as he believes that's how he can create success. He talks about how he got his stripes from his business endeavors, and though the process was wild, he knows he needs to keep grinding to succeed.
The second verse elaborates on Travis's current state of mind. He is fully focused on achieving his goals and is willing to cross any line to do that. The lyrics, "Close the opera, hear the red and blue outside, I think our option's up, I recrossed it 'round the map, I had to line it up," signify his determination to steer the narrative of his life towards success. He understands that he needs to put in the work, invest time, and draw a line to cross it if he wants to achieve great things. He concludes the song by saying, "If I show the hideaway, would you hide out and let it blam? Ain't no time, I'm facin' scams, nah, nah." This line means that he is willing to leave his comfortable hideaway if it means achieving his dreams.

Ride on land, Boeing jet, make it land

It's slow motion when I dance
I'm moving slower than usual while dancing
In your eyes, I see your trance
I see that you're really focused on what's happening around you
I run away and then you prance
I leave and you follow behind, almost like a playful dance
If I show the hideaway, would you hide out and let it blam?
If I take you to my secret hideout, will you be able to stay quiet if something goes wrong?
Ain't no time, I'm facin' scams, nah, nah (yeah)
I don't have time to deal with scams or any kind of fraudulent activity
Ooh
This is an interlude or an expression of emotion
