Listen, huh
Ay put your hands in the air one time
Throw your hands in the air, one time, one time, hey
Put your hands in the air two times
Throw your hands in the air two times, two times, two six
Put your hands in air three times
Throw your hands in the air three times, three times, hey
Put your hands in the air four times
Throw your motherf*ckin' hands up and sing
Roll up and smoke my sins away
I'd like to go to St. Tropez
Maybe I'll go, maybe I'll stay
Maybe I'll stay
She asked me if I'm scared to fly
To tell the truth I'm terrified
I never been that high before
Very bad reason not to go (I know)
Terrible reason not to go (I know)
Sing
He's on his way, he's 'bout to get paid
He's on his way to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's 'bout to get paid
He's on his way to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's 'bout to get paid
He's on his way to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's 'bout to get paid
He's on his way to Hollywood
Ay from the door I showed you my scars
And I told you girl, "I won't lie" If we at war
Then this is a war that I can't afford, no
I, I, I I wanted more
But that was before Lord knows I'm torn, so I–I cry (No I, I, I)
From the corner of my eye, baby It's been hard for me to smile
Lately, it's been hard for me to smile
Lately, it's been hard for me to smile
Lately, it's been hard for me to smile
Fayetteville sh*t, listen
Ay put your hands in the air one time
Throw your hands in the air one time, one time, up top
Put your hands in the air two times
Throw your motherf*ckin' hands in the-air
If you won't take me in your home
If you won't take me in your home
If you won't take me in your home
If you won't take me in your home
He's on his way, he's 'bout to get paid
He's on his way to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's 'bout to get paid
He's on his way to Hollywood
Show him the way, he's 'bout to get paid
He's on his way to Hollywood
He's on his way, he's 'bout to get paid
He's on his way to Hollywood
Y'all feeling alright man, make some motherf*ckin' noise one time
This sh*t crazy, man y'all don't even realize this sh*t is like
This sh*t is unreal man lemme- lemme talk to y'all for a second
I want to talk to y'all- because
It's cool for me to come out here tonight
It's just an honor to be able to f*ckin' sell out the Crown
And sh*t and come back home
And this sh*t is retarded in itself I appreciate y'all, thank you man
But it's one thing for me to come out here tonight
And just perform the whole album for y'all
That's already amazing, thank y'all for letting me do that sh*t
You know what I mean that's already crazy
N*ggas don't do that type of sh*t, perform they whole albums
But it's one thing to just come and do the songs, that's cool
I love doing that I do that every day of my life
But, me personally
I like to use the shows as an opportunity that I don't ever really get like that
But I love to do it
And that's the opportunity to come here and speak directly to y'all
And have y'all feel every word that I'm f*ckin' saying to you that's what I like to do
So right now, I want to talk to y'all about- this song right here that I just did
The name of that song is called St. Tropez right, that's the name of that song, St. Tropez
But if I'm being honest with y'all
If I'm keeping it funky
If I'm being real
If I'm keeping it a hunnid
Or if I'm keeping it fo' hunnid how my n*gga YG fo' hunnid be f*ckin' saying
He love YG, look at him (laughs) aight'
If I'm being real, then the truth is
N*gga, I don't even know where the f*ck St. Tropez is at
I don't know it's at
I don't give a f*ck (laughs)
When I talk about St. Tropez in the song-
What I do know about St. Tropez is
It seems like the type of place that really rich people go to
When they got a lot of f*ckin' money and they wanna vacation
And be on a yacht with champagne glasses and bikinis-
It seem like that type of place
But when I talk about it on this song it's just a metaphor
What this song is about, and y'all gon' feel me
Y'all gon' feel me cause I'm home, and y'all gon' feel me
What this song is about, and a lot of people don't understand this
Cause I be doing shows in New York, Los Angeles
You know f*ckin' Chicago, big a*s cities
So they don't feel me, they don't know what it's like
To be somebody that's from a small town
A place like Fayetteville you know what I mean they don't know what it's like
They can't really relate to that sh*t, so what I'm trying to explain to them is
When I'm talking about St. Tropez on this song it's just a metaphor
We grow up our whole- our whole lives watching TV
Looking at the movies, seeing places like what-
Like Paris, London England, St. Tropez, New York City, Chicago, L.A. right?
And as a kid from Fayetteville what do we tell ourselves?
"Man one day I'ma go there, one day I'ma go there" right?
What ends up happening?
A lot of times because we come from a small town what happens?
We suffer from what we call a small-town mentality now what does that mean?
That means we grow up our whole lives seeing these places, and we tell ourselves we gon' go
But as we grow up we get way too comfortable in our comfort zone, right?
And we too afraid to leave, right?
That's why so many people-
Ain't really stepping out the city like that, they too afraid to go right?
So what I'm talking about on this song is tryna give y'all insight to the mentality that I had to overcome
If you know anything about my story you know when I turned 18 I said "f*ck this sh*t"
I moved all the way to New York City I ain't know nobody in f*cking New York- but I left
I left the Ville and I went to New York I took a leap of faith
Fast forward the rest is history
Right now- listen
I want to take a break from all this album sh*t
And I want to perform a song that only-
Only those people that's been f*cking with me from day one is gon' f*ck with
I don't know how many people in here that been f*cking with me
