Oh, oh
Whoa
Whoa
Oh
You good, T-Minus?
Oh
If you find time, we can run one
Talk about some things, we can't undo
You just send the pin, I can find you
6'1", on the money, 9'2"
You just say the word and I'll run through
Two texts, no reply, that's when I knew
I knew, I knew, yeah, I knew
Yeah
Circumnavigate the globe, as the cash grows (grow)
Get a nigga whacked, like you get the grass mowed (mowed)
I'm talkin' slick, runnin' with the Big Slime, nigga (slime)
Could hit your bitch, you could never hit mine, nigga (mine)
In my DM, they electric slide, nigga (huh, slide)
No catfishing, this is not a fish fry, nigga
Never switch sides on my dog
Catch a contact, hitch a ride, go to Mars
Everybody sing
How could you come up out your face and say I ain't the hottest nigga you done ever heard?
I left a flock of rappers dead and buried
A verse from me is like eleven birds
I did the math, it's like two-thousand dollars every word
I'm on the verge, I'll beat the charge
I killed some niggas and I walked away from it
Then I observe, just how you curve
And told them niggas that they gotta wait for it
"I know-I know you in high demand"
I'm balling on a pussy nigga like Juwanna Mann
I'm drowning all inside the pussy like I never swam
Ayy, fuck your IG, I put somethin' on your sonogram
I'm the man, ayy, ayy
Me-meet me at The London
If you find time, we can run one
Talk about some things, we can't undo
You just send the pin, I can find you
6'1", on the money, 9'2"
You just say the word and I'll run through
Two texts, no reply, that's when I knew
I knew, I knew, yeah, I knew
Pimp talk, church talk
I can make a brick walk (woo)
Up north, down south
Bankhead to Rachel Walk (aye)
Hit it with a little water
Stretch it like a vocal chord
Std, I run my ward
Fuck a fed and his daughter (let's go)
I'ma run the compound (yeah)
I supply the cigarettes and bread (woo)
I got a main and she gon' ride (uhh)
She took a quarter and she fled (uhh)
I'm in the Lamb' so she gon' ride (yeah)
I see the pain in shawty's light brown eyes (ooh)
I'm at The London with some big thighs
No fries, she eat steaks with the fish sides
Didn't your mama tell you when something on fire, stop, drop and roll? Aw yeah
I've been on the road like a pair of Sprinters at Stop and Go's, yeah
I could charge 'em like a Dodge Hemi Demon
Got your broad in the garage eatin' semen
Every time a nigga go back to the ward
Niggas act like they wan' start
And we leave 'em on the cement (graw, graw!)
Me-meet me at The London
If you find time, we can run one
Talk about some things, we can't undo
You just send the pin, I can find you
6'1", on the money, 9'2"
You just say the word and I'll run through
Two texts, no reply, that's when I knew
I knew, I knew, yeah, I knew
Aight, crushed down when you're mine (yeah)
Forty four times when you won't play (yeah)
Forty four side (yeah)
89 flight, I might, take time right (fly)
See you one time, where it goes (whoa whoa won't play)
Four knows say, I
Young Thug’s 2019 hit song “The London” features him collaborating with J. Cole and Travis Scott. The song begins with Thugger’s signature ad-libs and T-Minus’ production, with Thugger crooning “Me-meet me at The London,” inviting a lover to join him at the luxury Langham Hotel in London. Thugger’s verses focus on his fame, flexing his wealth and musical prowess while taking shots at his competitors. He raps, “How could you come up out your face and say I ain’t the hottest nigga you done ever heard? I left a flock of rappers dead and buried. A verse from me is like eleven birds.”
J. Cole takes over the second verse rapping about his experiences with wealth and fame as well as the challenges of being a successful rapper. He talks about the two sides of his personality, Pimp talk and Church talk, referencing his upbringing as a child of a military father and his eventual success as an artist. He also shares a message of perseverance: “I’m on the verge, I’ll beat the charge. I killed some niggas and I walked away from it. Then I observe, just how you curve. And told them niggas that they gotta wait for it.”
Travis Scott joins in on the third verse, adding his distinctive autotune and distorted ad-libs. He shares his own experiences with wealth, bragging about his expensive cars, jewelry and sexual prowess. The song ends with the three artists alternating their verses and ad-libs, creating a hypnotic effect.

Nacho Cardozo
Toy ballin como rondo
Siempre doy la cara no me escondo
Supimos salir del fondo
Y ahora estamos partiendo el club
Sin opacar a nadie tengo mas luz
Hablo con los dioses como el vudu
Termina la noche y vuelvo pal hood
Pal hood pal hood
Le abri el pecho sin las glock
Saque la crop top
Como lil wayne en el top
Fuck a tu tik tok
No se bajar solo vamos para arriba
Le gusta hablar cuando
Se sube encima
La voy a partir y quiere que se lo diga
Viene a Buscar mas que una estadía
Hielo en su eyes
0 amor
Odio perder La pongo flay
Opeen dors
Las jordan nuevas
Par de gatas finas
Rappers de verdad
Ninguno es como vos
Siempre del trap tuvimos el control
A tu canal le pusimos color
El mundo en la espalda
Como atlas
Y nunca nos pesó
Rock and roll rompemo el show
Cuando arranque empece a hacer las conexiones
Y se nos dió
Que el diablo y dios
Estan peleando
Hace tiempo
Por estos dones
Ethienne Amaral
