The band released their debut album, Good Feeling (1997), to moderate success where it debuted at number nine on the UK Albums Chart and was later awarded a silver certification from the BPI in January 2000. The band gained greater success with their second album, The Man Who (1999), which spent nine weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart, totalling 134 weeks in the top 100 of the chart. In 2003, The Man Who was certified 9× platinum by the BPI, representing sales of over 2.68 million in the UK alone. Following this success, the band released their third effort, The Invisible Band (2001) album. The Invisible Band went on to match the success found with their previous album, where it debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and spent a total of four weeks at the top spot, fifteen weeks in the top ten, and a total of fifty-five weeks in the top 100 chart, as well as peaking at thirty-nine on the US Billboard 200 album chart, spending a duration of seven weeks in the Billboard 200 chart. A year following the release of The Invisible Band, the BPI awarded Travis with a 4× platinum certification for the album.
In recent years, the band's discography has included studio albums 12 Memories (2003), The Boy with No Name (2007), Ode to J. Smith (2008), Where You Stand (2013), Everything at Once (2016) and 10 Songs (2020). In 2004, the band released their first greatest hits album, Singles, which spent nineteen weeks in the top 100 of the UK albums chart. Travis have twice been awarded best band at the BRIT Awards and were awarded the NME Artist of the Year award at their 2000 ceremony, and in 2016 were honoured at the Scottish Music Awards for their outstanding contribution to music. The band are widely said by the media to have paved the way for other bands such as Keane and Coldplay to go on to achieve worldwide success throughout the 2000s, particularly with the success of The Man Who.
Craft Recordings celebrated the 20th anniversary of Travis' breakthrough year with two simultaneous releases: Live at Glastonbury '99, plus expanded editions of The Man Who – both of which were released on 21 June 2019.

Travis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That mean I work from 10 to 10
Then 10 to 10, then 10 again
Nightmares of losing everything boost my adrenaline
Bitch, I do what I do, I feel how I feel
Got my drink on the rise, got my house on the hill
Got the girl of your dreams yep I pop her, for real
After bill, but I still pay respect to my city
So much man you thought I was in debt for real
Every day is a chase, every night is a thrill
I feel sorry for whoever's not in the will
Good music or die ho, shout out to Ye-Ye
Dumped all my other hoes, shout out to Nay-Nay
I start my day with a prayer and vagjayjay
I'm higher than day-day, no off day just pay day
Boy, since I was a bae-bae I swear was OG, you was a no G
Texting these hoes that you love 'em and shit, prolly using them Emoji's
When you was a OG, bitch, I'd still be more G
Fuck you know about night terrors, nightmares and night scares
About not getting that white money 'fore a young nigga get white hair
And I done dropped control just to show you hoes who done got controlled
You saying that I changed, yep, changed like I supposed
While you at the same crib still wearing the same clothes
Going to the same club, taking the same pose
Pillow talking with the same hoes
All day about how find 'em and Hov hit the same hoes
Some niggas never grew up until they grew old
I guess that what coming up in Detroit do
Finally famous is a Detroit crew
Fuck with me and you'll destroy fool
End up on the fucking Detroit news, better off in the Detroit zoo
Everybody got haters, I swear we been through this
Martin had Malcolm, Caesar had Brutus
Fuck am I saying, Jesus had Judas
I guess I'm alright thought if I just got you, bitch
You gon' pull up friend to friend, I'mma pull up Benz to Benz
While you and her are cheek to cheek, me and her dick to chin
That's the difference between a 9-to-5 and a 10-to-10
Sean don
I woke up working like I'm Mexican
That mean I work from 10 to 10
Then 10 to 10, then 10 again
Nightmares of losing everything boost my adrenaline
They done fucked up now, haha
Mastermind
My kilos on ice, my sneakers snow white
I got a place at the Trump, just to pray for advice
My new bitch is Hispanic, got me speaking bi-language
Some call it tricking cause this bitch thicker than Trina
Anybody wanna motherfucking die? Come try me then
You ain't real till you fucked your dawg's ho
Seen a brick and had to buy a Benz
Coming through and I don't fuck with niggas
Bitch you wish you wanna fuck a nigga
Good chance she done fucked a nigga
Turned around and said fuck that nigga
Stack on my belt, double M we a cult
Mastermind's in control, so nigga fuck what you thought
16s of coke, all my verses be dope
Fuck XXL 'cause I'm The Source to these quotes
I woke up working like I'm Mexican
That mean I work from 10 to 10
Then 10 to 10, then 10 again
Nightmares of losing everything boost my adrenaline
I've been held from ten to tens, swear I won't sin again
Bring the Hell to my residence, godly presence with presidents
My day job, it made me shit, public housing ain't got no fence
And college ain't make no sense, niggas whole home invaded quick
I did work, I done pay my dues, I'm induced, now I'm overdue
One hit one, call this voodoo, don't want apes to jump out the zoo
I got one mountain, one problem, plus the issues, I can't solve them
But it's nothin', and I'm still in the club on the couch still fuckin' up somethin'
Nigga please! Mama please, I'm never comin' home 'til I make a hundred, shit
Scratch that, 'til I make a hundred million
Then I'mma stretch that 'til I make a hundred trillion
Who knew one day her son would grow up and learn how to read or write
Did songs with Hov, now hallelujah fell asleep the real McCoy
God damn, how you do that?
I woke up working like I'm Mexican
That mean I work from 10 to 10
Then 10 to 10, then 10 again
Nightmares of losing everything boost my adrenaline
The song "10 2 10" by Travis Scott is a reflection on the grind and hustle required to achieve success, both in the music industry and in life. The opening lines, "I woke up working like I'm Mexican, that mean I work from 10 to 10, then 10 to 10, then 10 again," highlights the long hours and dedication that is necessary to make it. The repetition of "10 to 10" reinforces this idea of constant work, no matter the time of day.
The chorus, "Nightmares of losing everything boost my adrenaline," emphasizes the fear of failure and the drive to keep striving forward. The lyrics also touch on themes of wealth and materialism, with lines like "Got my drink on the rise, got my house on the hill," but ultimately brings it back to the value of hard work and dedication.
Throughout the song, Travis Scott also references the struggles and obstacles he's faced, from "night terrors" to "not getting that white money." However, he maintains his confidence in his abilities and ultimately takes the position of the "mastermind," in control of his own success.
Overall, "10 2 10" is a reflective and introspective look at the effort and dedication required to achieve success, with a strong emphasis on hard work and resilience.

I invite chaos and danger into my home but consider myself to be powerful and influential
My day job, it made me shit, public housing ain't got no fence
My previous job was not enjoyable, and even my living situation was unstable
And college ain't make no sense, niggas whole home invaded quick
College did not provide value, and people's houses were easily invaded
I did work, I done pay my dues, I'm induced, now I'm overdue
I have worked hard and earned success, and I am ready for even more
One hit one, call this voodoo, don't want apes to jump out the zoo
One successful venture leads to another, but I do not want a dangerous situation to arise
I got one mountain, one problem, plus the issues, I can't solve them
I have a significant issue or challenge that I am struggling to overcome
But it's nothin', and I'm still in the club on the couch still fuckin' up somethin'

Nigga please! Mama please, I'm never comin' home 'til I make a hundred, shit
I will not stop hustling until I make a lot of money, and my mom should not expect me to come home soon
Scratch that, 'til I make a hundred million
I am setting my sights on making a hundred million dollars instead
Then I'mma stretch that 'til I make a hundred trillion
Once I have made a hundred million dollars, I will aim for a hundred trillion dollars
Who knew one day her son would grow up and learn how to read or write
No one could have predicted that I would become successful and educated
Did songs with Hov, now hallelujah fell asleep the real McCoy
I have collaborated with Jay-Z and now feel validated as a true rap artist
God damn, how you do that?
