Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We see the hype outside (yeah)
Right from the house, uh
Took it straight from outside (yeah)
Straight to the couch
We put the mic outside (yeah)
Air that shit out, uh
We runnin' the scouts
Ain't no controllin' the gang (yeah, yeah, yeah)
They never leave
I got tats over my veins (yeah)
'Cause that what I bleed
She drink a lot of the bourbon (yeah)
Like she from the street, uh
We got control of the flows and, huh, uh, uh (yeah, mm)
We heard that your wave went dry (yeah)
We floodin' the drought, uh (mm)
Heard that your hood outside (yeah)
We added some routes (mm)
We havin' the goods outside (mm)
Move it in and out (mm)
You lettin' THE SCOTTS outside (mm)
We runnin' the scouts
Nigga, the cops outside (yeah)
Lock up the house (yeah, yeah)
We keep the team on high (huh)
Some gold in they mouth (yeah, yeah)
Nigga, the Porsche outside (huh)
Without the top (yeah, nigga, yeah, yeah)
She want a mimosa-sa (yeah)
Bring in the shots (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Tell these phony bitches, "Beat it"
With that Photoshoppin' body, Adobe, help me
She in there makin' panini, she know I got all the bread
She know me, got it
On my hustle, havin' visions
It's been a minute since my niggas done owned it, howdy (huh, huh)
Cleveland boy, he make 'em pay
Yes, that Cleveland boy, he done made a way, hey
Headed for somewhere to go, anywhere cinema these, these
Niggas don't know where to go
Gotta keep givin' 'em heat, heat (yeah)
Time to go double though, time they add up the math, mad
And I've been dealin' with so many things, havin' so many dreams
Let's go
The song "THE SCOTTS" by Travis Scott and Kid Cudi starts off by referencing the hype that they are receiving outside. They then mention how they brought the outside in by putting the mic outside to air out their music. They are now letting the "Scotts" outside to run the "scouts." The gang that they refer to is uncontrollable and never leaves. Travis Scott mentions that he has tattoos all over his veins because that's what he believes in. They are in control of the flows and are flooding the drought by adding more routes. They are moving their goods in and out and running the scouts.
The chorus then includes a reference to the cops being outside and locking up the house. They are keeping the team on high with gold in their mouth. They have a Porsche outside without a top and are bringing in shots for the party. They mention telling fake people to go away and reference the Photoshop body editing trend. They mention someone making paninis and knowing that they have the bread. They are on their hustle and having visions while dealing with so many things and having many dreams. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus while adding in more lyrics about heading somewhere and needing to keep giving heat.
