Travis Scott Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got room
In my fumes (yeah)
She fill my mind up with ideas
I'm the highest in the room (it's lit)
Hope I make it outta here (let's go)

She saw my eyes, she know I'm gone (ah)
I see some things that you might fear

I'm doin' a show, I'll be back soon (soon)
That ain't what she wanna hear (nah)
Now I got her in my room (ah)
Legs wrapped around my beard
Got the fastest car, it zoom (skrrt)
Hope we make it outta here (ah)
When I'm with you, I feel alive
You say you love me, don't you lie (yeah)
Won't cross my heart, don't wanna die
Keep the pistol on my side (yeah)

Case it's fumes (smoke)
She fill my mind up with ideas (straight up)
I'm the highest in the room (it's lit)
Hope I make it outta here (let's go, yeah)

We ain't stressin' 'bout the loot (yeah)
My block made of queseria
This not the Molly, this the boot
Ain't no comin' back from here
Live the life of La Familia
It's so much gang that I can't see ya (yeah)
Turn it up 'til they can't hear (we can't)
Runnin', runnin' 'round for the thrill
Yeah, dawg, dawg, 'round my real (gang)
Raw, raw, I been pourin' to the real (drank)
Nah, nah, nah, they not back of the VIP (in the VIP)
Gorgeous, baby, keep me hard as steel
Ah, this my life, I did not choose
Uh, been on this since we was kids
We gon' stay on top and break the rules
Uh, I fill my mind up with ideas

Case it's fumes
She fill my mind up with ideas (straight up)
I'm the highest in the room (I'm the highest, it's lit)
Hope I make it outta here

I'm the highest, you might got the Midas touch
What the vibe is? And my bitch the vibiest, yeah
Everyone excited, everyone too excited, yeah now
Play with the giants, little bit too extravagant, yeah now
Night, everyone feel my vibe, yeah

In the broad day, everyone hypnotizing, yeah
I'm okay and I take the cake, yeah

We don't worry about money because we've got our gang and connections. This isn't about drugs, it's just who we are. We're fully committed to our family and we have so many people around us that it's hard to see everyone. We turn up the music so loud that no one can hear anything else. We're always living on the edge, searching for that thrill. I have real people around me who I've known for a long time. I've been indulging in the lifestyle and pouring my emotions into my music. We're not in the back of the VIP, we're front and center. Being with you keeps me motivated, strong, and ready for anything life brings.

I'm the highest, you might got the Midas touch What the vibe is? And my bitch the vibiest, yeah Everyone excited, everyone too excited, yeah now Play with the giants, little bit too extravagant, yeah now Night, everyone feel my vibe, yeah In the broad day, everyone hypnotizing, yeah I'm okay and I take the cake, yeah
I'm on top of the world and unstoppable. You might be lucky, but I have a special magic. We're all feeling excited and hyped up. We're taking risks that are too large and over the top. Day or night, people feed off of my energy. They're drawn to me and I'm always in control.
