(I’m going to warn you beforehand that the soon-to-be-mentioned song isn’t great, and the guys in it curse often.) I think I’m going to expand upon my “Confusion” territory because I really have no clue what this guy is saying. If you’ve ever heard this song, you will know what I’m talking about. I could just look up the lyrics and figure out what this guy is saying, but that would be cheating. I’ve replayed those 5 seconds of the song (about 30-35 seconds on the YouTube video) countless times, just trying to figure out a single word. I can’t do it. Every time I hear this inaudible speech, however, it brings me joy that nothing else in the world can. Every time I hear this hook, I am reduced to a useless pile of giggles. Our boy Young Thug just sounds like a parasite has eaten his brain and now his body is just making noises. I’m 90% sure that there is an expletive in there somewhere, but who can really know for sure.
