On August 9, 2019, Thug previewed his verse on the track via his Instagram story. However, โBoy Backโ was originally NAVโs track, and he had previewed it before. After Thug teased his contributions, fans put the two instrumentals together to theorize that it was a collaboration between Thug and NAV. This was proven true six days later when Thug revealed the albumโs tracklist hours before its release.
On December 20, 2019, Thug and NAV released the official music video for the track.
Boy Back
Young Thug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got rackity-rack-rack-racks in my knapity-sack-sack-sack (yeah, racks)
Ever since Tap-Tap-Tap, I feel like the brown boy back-back-back (I'm back)
Prada shoes with the strap, in every color, I'm proud of that (proud of that)
All they see is success but they don't know where I started at
I can't take no days off, I got money I gotta get (no)
Hit the gas and I take off, pipes be cracklin' when I shift (skrrt)
Got a coupe, got power seats, three months before release
Tattoos under my sleeve (yeah)
Got nigga old girl on her knees (yeah)
I spent a hundred thousand dollars on trees (and what?)
I spent a whole 'nother hundred on tees (woo)
She got hair all down to her knees
Now I call her Maybelline (no cap)
I got a cougar bitch in my driveway
Tryna make a nigga pay her lease (swear)
Trap, trappin', trappin'
Whole lot of bales and bricks, Ikea
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I just been sippin' on lean, they don't see us
I would never trap
I was tryna rob him and his dealer
Never goin' back
Switchin' my shit like Ron Artest (switch it up)
Rickity-rack-rack-racks
Throwin' off the Maybach hatch-hatch-hatch
I've been on set-set-set
Throw it down the field, no crack back-back, ooh
Ran up my sack-sack-sack
I done went and bought all the set-set-sets (slatt)
Duck tape the patch-patch-patch (slatt)
Three-hundred horse on the Cadillac, whoa
Got rackity-rack-rack-racks in my knapity-sack-sack-sack (yeah, racks)
Ever since Tap-Tap-Tap, I feel like the brown boy back-back-back (I'm back)
Prada shoes with the strap, in every color, I'm proud of that (proud of that)
All they see is success but they don't know where I started at
I can't take no days off, I got money I gotta get (no)
Hit the gas and I take off, pipes be cracklin' when I shift (skrrt)
It's clear as you can see, got a big bankroll on me (racks)
Got a coupe, got power seats, three months before release
Rackin' up Krispy Cream
Every day I wear crispy tee
I know you ain't gettin' no cheese
Your shoe tongue ain't got no C's
All my diamonds cold, on freeze
Got designer A to Z
I know B's and I know C's
Make your bitch fall in love with a G
Now I don't wanna wear no J's
Pointers in the Cartiers on my face
Stackin' up for my future
Came up livin' day to day
Should I buy a new watch? I just made a hundred racks today
Gucci my tube socks, I got a different pair for every day
I can't get no sleep, I got some habits I gotta kick
I been drippin' all week, minimum three thousand on my 'fit
When you work for a boss like me, there's lots of advantages
In my wildest dreams, I don't think that I could imagine this
Got rackity-rack-rack-racks in my knapity-sack-sack-sack (yeah, racks)
Ever since Tap-Tap-Tap, I feel like the brown boy back-back-back (I'm back)
Prada shoes with the strap, in every color, I'm proud of that (proud of that)
All they see is success but they don't know where I started at
I can't take no days off, I got money I gotta get (no)
Hit the gas and I take off, pipes be cracklin' when I shift (skrrt)
It's clear as you can see, got a big bankroll on me (racks)
Got a coupe, got power seats, three months before release

@user-of7ql3ff4d
NAV put brownboys on the map so when they see him they pay homage to him. Most of the people that mention NAV in a negative way are broke.
