La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la (watchin' in)
La, la, la, la
Only one they watchin' in (la, la, la, la) yeah
La, la, la, la
It ain't up to you no more
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
God Country, this is war
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Wakin' up, I see the light
I been drunk and it's alright
I took the drive to clear my mental
Would tint the whip but it's a bike
It's demon time, I got it on me (on me)
Might earn a teardrop overnight
Wear Louis shades to block my psyche (psyche)
It's hot as hell, we'll wear the ice
You in God's Country, not in Montgomery
Go Ted Bundy, then go home and play Al Bundy
The card black and you know it got a sky limit
I make a mill' every-, you decide, choice is yours
The butterfly reflect the doors
I hit the gas and metamorph
Couldn't get this shit off credit score
Hunnid thousand, pack the fans
Got 'em jumpin' with no hands (hands)
Need more spaces where we jam (jam)
In God's Country with the fam
Yeah, whoa

Ooh-ooh




Ooh-ooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Travis Scott's song "GOD'S COUNTRY" delve into themes of power, self-reflection, and duality. The repetition of "La, la, la, la" creates an almost hypnotic effect, drawing the listener into the narrative. The opening lines suggest that there is someone being watched, indicating a sense of surveillance or scrutiny. It implies that this individual holds an important position and is being closely observed.


As the song unfolds, Travis Scott reflects on his experiences and mindset. He mentions waking up to the light, symbolizing a moment of clarity or realization. He confesses to being drunk but seems content with it, suggesting that he has come to accept certain aspects of himself. Taking a drive to clear his mental state reflects his desire for solitude and introspection. The mention of tinting the whip (car) but it being a bike could represent a shift in his perception - the superficial trappings of material wealth no longer hold the same importance for him.


Travis Scott references "demon time," alluding to a darker side of his personality. He acknowledges the potential for violence by mentioning that he has something on him (possibly a weapon). The line about earning a teardrop overnight could imply that his actions or lifestyle have consequences, even if they are hidden from view. The reference to wearing Louis shades to block his psyche suggests that he uses material possessions to shield himself from introspection or deeper emotions.


The chorus, "You in God's Country, not in Montgomery," juxtaposes the spiritual and religious concept of God's Country against the real-world location of Montgomery. This contrast highlights the idea that the true meaning of life and purpose lies beyond superficial boundaries or geographic locations. Travis Scott further explores this concept by referencing serial killer Ted Bundy and sitcom character Al Bundy, connecting the extremes of darkness and lightheartedness.


The lyrics also touch on wealth and success, with references to a black card and limitless possibilities. Travis Scott asserts his ability to make money and control his destiny. The mention of butterflies and metamorphosis could symbolize personal growth or transformation. The line about the credit score suggests that he was able to achieve success independently, without relying on credit or debt. The song concludes with the line "In God's Country with the fam," emphasizing the importance of family and the grounding influence they provide.


Overall, "GOD'S COUNTRY" explores themes of self-discovery, power, and the complexity of human nature. It challenges conventional notions of success and material wealth, urging listeners to seek meaning beyond societal expectations.

[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
I won't doubt it, I won't
He won't mislead all His followers
Prayin' on the process, minus Spirit
Feel like
Like I'm
Floatin' in my prime time

[Pre-Chorus: Travis Scott]
One life, live it, right now
One life, live it, yeah

[Chorus: KayCyy]
Goodbyes, that's life
Fun times, for life
For life, from down my eyes
Thank God I'm free tonight (Let me in)
Ooh

[Verse 2: Travis Scott]
Got God on the line
Tell the devil I'm fine
He always tryin'
Tryin' his best (No question)
Top of the pole, me and my bros
When the story gets old
It's gon' be BMF (Muchas gracias)
This shit sound hard
It wasn't made еasy
You can't live twice
Thank God I'm breathin' (You arе not fuckin')
You gotta go now

[Pre-Chorus: Travis Scott]
One life, live it, right now
One life, live it, yeah

[Chorus: KayCyy]
Goodbyes, that's life
Fun times, for life
For life, from down my eyes
Thank God I breathe tonight (Let me in)
[Instrumental Break]
Oh

[Verse 3: Travis Scott & Stormi]
Still no pressure
Thank God, I breathe
'Cause shit I speak is what they need, I tell no lies
But still up top, they still can't drop but what if they not
Yeah, yeah
Last tape was filled up with slaps, I just gotta run this shit back
Didn't like the way this shit went down at the awards, I admit it, turned to a beast
This that shit right here that get me goin', after I pop me a piece
Brodie, we killin' the critics and killin' the hate, might gotta talk to a priest
The way we evolved and knocked down walls, this shit's outrageous
A quarterback calls, they don't like 12, except Tom Brady
Can't short my stock, I still stack tall, they still can't trade me
Storm's a minor but you know she livin' major (That's right, daddy)
When you flyin' up this high, it ain't no cables
Shit so lit, what happen in Vegas, it stay in Vegas
Mornin' time, we check the news, we made the papers
