Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Dean, what's poppin'?)
(Yo, Travis)
Mmm, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Mama's bailing down that road, craving 9021

She a porn star girl, oh, from the valley (honestly, God bless)
Who left her hometown world all for that alley
Oh, created Lake Tahoe all from her panties
(I hope it was wet like my jumper, though)
Ooh, used to take the long way home, long way home, all for that candy

Baby's hooked on feeling low
Do, do, do
Do, do

Jacques turned La Flame, now he rolling on an Addy
Fifty on a chain, 'nother fifty on a Caddy, ooh
He might pop him a pill, pop him a seal, pop anyone
Pop anything, pop anything to find that alley
Hmm, yeah, to find that alley (mmm)

Baby's hooked on feeling low
Do, do, do
Do, do

In that 90210, 90210, looking for that alley
In the 90210, 90210, looking for that alley, ooh
It's the superstar girl (baby's hooked)
Superstar girl, roaming in that alley (on feeling low)
Oh, in the 90210, 90210, somewhere in that alley
Ooh-ah

Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Yeah
My granny called, she said, "Travvy, you work too hard
I'm worried you forget about me"
I'm falling in and out of clouds, don't worry, I'ma get it, granny, uh
What happened? Now my daddy happy, mama called me up
That money coming and she love me, I done made it now
I done found life's meaning now, all them her heart'd break
Her heart not in pieces now
Friends turning into fraud niggas
Practicing half the passion, you niggas packaged different
All you niggas, you niggas want the swag, you can't have it
I'ma sell it, you niggas salary 'bout to cap, bitch
Youngest nigga out of Houston at the Grammys
Smiling at 'em laughing at me
I passed the rock to Ye, he pump faked and passed it back, bitch
All of this off of rapping, should've wrote this in Latin

Yeah, yeah
Mmm, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Cuzzo said we in the store, yeah, we 'bout to drop a four
He passed the cigarette, I choke, woo
Told my auntie put them 'Ports down, them 'Ports down
Now you know you love your own now
Hit the stage, they got their hands up, don't put your nose down
I ain't knockin', nigga, I knocked the door down, for sure now
Whole crew, I swear they counting on me
Gold chains, gold rings, I got an island on me
Houses on me, he got them ounces on him
Holy Father, come save these niggas, I'm styling on 'em
Good Lord, I see my good fortune in all these horses
I'm driving too fast to stop, so all these signs, I ignore them




Just this guy from north of the border, my chips is in order
My mom's biggest supporter so now a nigga support her, nigga

Overall Meaning

90210 is a song by Travis Scott featuring American singer Kacy Hill. The song title pays homage to the famous ZIP code in Beverly Hills, California, which has been featured in several TV shows and movies. The song is a memoir of Travis's experiences growing up in Houston and his subsequent journey to fame. In the opening lines of the song, we hear Travis and Dean's banter setting the pace of the rap song. Travis sings about a girl from the valley who has given up her hometown world for the alley. He describes her as a porn star who craves the limelight in 90210. Travis's lyrics allude to the fact that his life mirrors that of a porn star, creating a distinction between his struggles and the glamorous life he leads currently.


Travis continues to paint the experiences of people living in 90210. Jacques, aka La Flame, is living the life of a superstar with extravagances like jewelry, cars, and drugs. Travis sings about getting high on any pill or substance to find the alley - the alley could be a reference to the dark side of Hollywood, unknown by outsiders. In the pre-chorus, Travis sings about the baby girl's addiction to drugs and her low self-esteem. The song seems to explore the toxicities that arise from the life of excess that Hollywood stars are known to lead. Travis's verses show a world where fame, fortune, and opulence come at a considerable cost.

Meaning of the video:

Travis Scott is originally from Texas so he starts by climbing on a big truck. But then he sees the city of LA and goes on a path towards it. He roams the city and meets a girl (Rihanna).

Outside, the big version of Travis is his darker side, his past. The destruction represents his inner self destructive tendency. It roams the city at night looking for him, and when it finally finds him Travis steps outside to confront it.

When Travis starts rapping, he starts telling his doppelgänger about his life, his family and how everything is looking up for him, "What happened to my daddy, happy mama called me up that money coming and she love me, I done made it now I done found life's meaning now, all them days of heartbreak". Overall, things are going well for Travis and he is happy about the way his life is going.
