Travi$ Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sun is down, freezin' cold
That's how we already know winter's here
My dawg would prolly do it for a Louis belt
That's just all he know, he don't know nothin' else
I tried to show 'em, yeah
I tried to show 'em, yeah, yeah
Gone on you with the pick and roll
Young LaFlame, he in sicko mode
Woo, made this here with all the ice on in the booth
At the gate outside, when they pull up, they get me loose
Yeah, Jump Out boys, that's Nike boys, hoppin' out coupes
This shit way too big, when we pull up give me the loot
(Gimme the loot)
Was off the Remy, had a Papoose
Had to hit my old town to duck the news
Two-four hour lockdown, we made no moves
Now it's 4AM and I'm back up poppin' with the crew
I just landed in, Chase B mixes pop like Jamba Juice
Different colored chains, think my jeweler really sellin' fruits
And they chokin', man, know the crackers wish it was a noose
Some-some-some, someone said
To win the retreat, we all in too deep
P-p-playin' for keeps, don't play us for weak (someone said)
To win the retreat, we all in too deep
P-p-playin' for keeps, don't play us for weak (yeah)
This shit way too formal, y'all know I don't follow suit
Stacey Dash, most of these girls ain't got a clue
All of these hoes I made off records I produced
I might take all my exes and put 'em all in a group
Hit my esรฉs, I need the bootch
'Bout to turn this function to Bonnaroo
Told her, "Hop in, you comin' too"
In the 305, bitches treat me like I'm Uncle Luke
(Don't stop, pop that pussy)
Had to slop the top off, it's just a roof (uh)
She said, "Where we goin'?" I said, "The moon"
We ain't even make it to the room
She thought it was the ocean, it's just the pool
Now I got her open, it's just the Goose
Who put this shit together? I'm the glue (someone said)
Shorty FaceTimed me out the blue
Someone said (playin'-playin' for keeps)
Someone said, motherfuck what someone said
(Don't play us for weak)

Ye-ah
The opening refrain of Travi$ Scottโs song, โSicko Modeโ, encapsulates the cold, dark and wintery season, setting off the vibe of the track. The song contains allusions to the artistโs journey so far in the music industry, his ex-accountant filing false chargebacks, and his upcoming collaboration with Drake. The song is divided into three parts with multiple transitions in between each of them. The first half is rapped by Scott, with his toned-down flow and is accentuated by ad-libs from a featured Drake, with his cadence blending in perfectly with the moody tone of the production. The second half features a fast flow by Scott reminding the listener of his rhyming ability. The third part is performed by Drake, with a slow and steady flow that gradually picks up towards the end accompanied with his signature singing style.
