  • [Intro: Quavo & Otis Redding]
    Yeah
    It's earlier in the morning
    Mmm, mmm, mmm (Buddah Bless This Beat)
    Since I

    [Chorus: Quavo & Travis Scott]
    All these damn chains, modern slavery (ice)
    But this ain't 1800 so they pay me (cash)
    Uh, yuh, shaking my demons off (shake 'em)
    Dippin' my dreams in sauce (dreams)
    Never been food for sharks (nope)
    Wrist like fins on dolphins (splash)
    Pop hella bands and I'm paid (oh yeah)
    Whip got a switch, I go brainless (oh yeah)
    Sip after sip, I feel painless (oh yeah)

    [Verse: Travis Scott & Quavo]
    Yeah yeah, do it one time for team (yeah!)
    Burn it like gasoline (it's lit!)
    Downing these jelly beans (alright!)
    Diamonds they frolicking (ice!)
    Red and blue matching drugs
    Did 'em both just because (pop it)
    They hoodie and maskin' up (nah)
    They the real Robin Hoods (yeah!)
    Yeah, if I, let my
    Gang out, bow down (gang)
    Come 'round, gun you down
    Hunt down (pew pew), hunt down (shoot)
    Rampage, campaign
    Champagne (ayy), I gain
    Decades of no pain
    At this age, they fugaz'
    Who did you thought you was (who?)
    Get 'em knocked off for dubs (pew)
    Sit in the trap with bugs (trappin')
    Walk in the lab with scrubs (ayy)
    Niggas tried to count us out (no)
    Fuck you thought this was (huh)
    Up like a coffee mug (up)
    Save your salt for slugs (save it)
    Hot on the block, you told 12, got the drop
    Rubber bands and they pop, so we weigh up the knots
    Cuban link cost a lot, Houston cred with a lot
    Let it fall from the top, she gon' bend, she gon' pop, oh

    [Chorus: Quavo & Travis Scott]
    All these damn chains, modern slavery (ice)
    But this ain't 1800 so they pay me (cash)
    Uh, yuh, shaking my demons off (shake 'em)
    Dippin' my dreams in sauce (dreams)
    Never been food for sharks (nope)
    Wrist like fins on dolphins (splash)
    Pop hella bands and I'm paid (oh yeah)
    Whip got a switch, I go brainless (oh yeah)
    Sip after sip, I feel painless (oh yeah) Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
