Reverse
Vic Mensa Lyrics

Aston Martin, push-button motor (yeah)
Driving a fancy car with a modern push-button ignition system

Migos on the ice (yeah), anti-sober
Listening to the rap group Migos while under the influence, not sober

Go, oh, oh, don't get hurt
Proceed with caution, don't get injured

Turn around and throw it in reverse (whoop)
Reverse the car, make it go backwards

Let me see how you work
Demonstrate your skills, show me what you can do

You boys smokin' dirt, we smokin' Larry Bird
They are smoking high-quality marijuana while others smoke inferior products

Saint Laurent straightjacket, go berserk
Wearing designer clothing, losing control and acting wild

Db11, it's a 'vert (skrrt skrrt), it goes skrrt
Driving a convertible Aston Martin DB11 sports car, which goes fast and makes a skidding sound

Keep her panty droppin', ridin' shotgun like she Kurt
His female companion is attractive and impresses others, riding in the passenger seat as if she were famous musician Kurt Cobain

Weavin' through the traffic with my ratchet in the purse
Driving aggressively and carrying a weapon for protection in a bag

Overseas I need a visa, breezin' in Ibiza
Travelling to foreign countries like Spain's Ibiza, requiring a visa

Try to see me when I'm speedin'
Trying to catch him while he is driving very fast

You get burnt like Derek Jeter
Like Derek Jeter, who was frequently burned by opponents during his baseball career, you will fail or face negative consequences

And my nina, she's a diva, purty like Lupita
His gun, nicknamed Nina, is powerful and decorated like a diva, and pretty like actress Lupita Nyong'o

Peter Piper, pick a pussy, make her peck my millimeter
A play on words, invoking a children's rhyme to describe how he gets women to perform oral sex on him using his gun as a metaphor

Chilly on the chain but the seats is heated
His diamond jewelry is cold, but the seats in his car are warm from the built-in heating system

Shawty wanna race like I been believin'
A woman wants to compete with him in a race, which he agrees to because he believes he will win

Spent three G's on the sneakers
He spent $3,000 on his shoes

Like three stripes and a slash, I'm undefeated
A reference to Adidas' logo, suggesting that he is unstoppable, always winning

Rick Owens, I'm tip-toein', push button, Kim Jong
Wearing Rick Owens shoes, walking quietly, referring to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's use of nuclear weapons as a metaphor for his own power

Rode through lookin' so cool in a old school like Vince Vaughn
Driving a classic car and looking stylish, like actor Vince Vaughn in his movies

Vroom vroom, nitro, hit the turbo
Accelerating quickly, activating the nitrous oxide system to give the car more power

Pour that Ace of Spades up, we don't want no Merlot
Drinking expensive champagne, preferring Ace of Spades over cheaper wines like Merlot

Cop the coupe, drop the roof, hop out the top like I'm a turtle (ooh)
Buying a new sports car, lowering the roof to show off, and getting out of the car quickly and smoothly like a turtle popping its head out of its shell

Then she turn around and throw it in reverse though
After exiting the car, a woman turns around and dances backwards

Yeah, bend that ass over, throw it backwards
Tell a woman to arch her back and dance provocatively

Moonwalkin' to the pussy like I'm Michael Jackson (oh)
Walking backwards towards a woman's genital area, referencing Michael Jackson's signature dance move

Make a film with your bitch, turn into an actor (ah)
Having sex with a woman, recording it, and becoming famous like an actor

Shimmy out and then she ate a pill after
After having sex, a woman takes a drug

I get clothes from Vaccarello, I get Céline from Slimane
Wearing designer clothes from Saint Laurent creative directors Anthony Vaccarello and Hedi Slimane

I get packages from Paris, drop that Fed-Ex, sign my name
Receiving deliveries from Paris, rejecting a Fed-Ex shipment and signing for his own packages

I get runway, off the runway, to the runway on the plane
Participating in fashion shows as both a model and an audience member, travelling by plane to various fashion events

Told you we are not the same, see that Spider switchin' lanes?
Comparing himself to others who are not as successful, pointing out his new Ferrari 488 Spider sports car changing lanes

Give it some gas, look at the dash
Accelerating the car and looking at the speedometer

What is he doin'? He goin' fast
Others observing him driving quickly and assuming he is reckless

Look at him whip, look at him smash
Driving expertly, making others admire him

Look at him skrrt, look at the cash
Making a skidding noise while driving and showing off his wealth

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a man that's gone insane
A reference to Superman, describing himself as a wild and unpredictable person

He's onstage in a straightjacket, this is not a game
Performing in a restrained jacket on a stage, taking his career seriously

Yeah, lit like a candle, I been too much to handle
Extremely popular and desirable, with a lot of attention and requests arriving regularly

This velvet jacket's fragile, 'kay, be careful when you handle, please
Wearing a delicate fabric jacket, asking others to be gentle when handling him

(Why did you touch me?) Yeah, your hands look kind of dusty
Reacting defensively to someone touching him, suggesting that they are dirty and might soil his clothing

Please be careful how you touch me, in Paris, out the country, ayy
As a famous person, he asks others to respect his image by being careful when they come into contact with him, whether he is in Paris or somewhere else
