WATERBOYZ Lyrics

[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Yeah, what's up man? (What's up man?)
What's up gang? (What's up gang?)
I'm gettin' this money (I'm gettin' this money)
I'm fuckin' this fame (Man, fuck this fame)
I'm trappin' this water (Trappin' this water)
Makin' shit shake (Makin' shit shake)
"Give me a dollar" ("Come on, give me a dollar")
Bitch, give me a break (Bitch, give me a break)

[Post-Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Most likely to succeed (Yeah), most likely to smoke weed
Most likely to get money doin' somethin' I believe
Most likely put the city on my back, it ain't heavy (Ain't heavy)
Most likely got the people goin' crazy overseas

[Verse 1: Johnny Venus]
I been in the Taurus (I been in the Taurus)
I been in the Jeep (I been in the Jeep)
I been in the Crown Vic and the Mercury (In the Mercury)

Push the 300 (Push 300) like a Bentley (Like a Bentley)
Niggas ain't nothin', if they ain't with me (If they ain't with me)
Yeah-yeah, set up the future for my heirs, this shit ain't cheap
Know it's a dirty, dirty game, but bitch, on me, you better not cheat
Shawty a deep, shawty a freak, wherever I walk, gold on my feet
Down to my last, I was fucked up, I was down bad like cornrow Meek
See, hoochies pop coochies for Gucci
And models will swallow for Prada
But bitch, I don't even want that shit
If I feel like, I buy you, you, you, you, you, that, that and this, I'm lit
[Chorus: Johnny Venus & JID]
What's up man? (What's up man?)
What's up gang? (What's up gang?)
I'm gettin' this money (I'm gettin' this money)
I'm fuckin' this fame (Man, fuck this fame)
I'm trappin' this water (Trappin' this water)
Makin' shit shake (Makin' shit shake)
"Give me a dollar" ("Come on, give me a dollar," wow)
Bitch, give me a break (Bitch, give me a break)

[Verse 2: JID]
What up kinfolks? What up twin?
What the hell they say happened to 10?
Man, I heard he got locked up again
I been meanin' to talk to him
And say the streets don't play no games
So pray for safety
All he gon' say is, "Okay-okay"
But he steady bangin' like the 808s

Say a bar and it's breakin' the bank
I should hire my boy on a day-to-day
That's the way he could stay out the way
Sanitation, we stay out the wastes
Sunset, he wanna stay at the one
Get a woman, run away to L.A. where the devils waiting
And the hoochies pop pussy for Pucci
And robbers be robbin' the robbers
I see the evil is in disguise, all of my idols already died
I took a flight and I took a drive
Made a left, hit the light and this lil' guy said
[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
What's up man? (What's up man?)
What's up gang? (What's up gang?)
I'm gettin' this money (I'm gettin' this money)
I'm fuckin' this fame (Man, fuck this fame)
I'm trappin' this water (I'm trappin' this water)
Makin' shit shake (Makin' shit shake)
"Give me a dollar" ("Come on, give me a dollar")
Bitch, give me a break (Bitch, give me a break)

[Verse 3: Doctur Dot]
Boy, you look thirsty (Need some water?)
Shit, a nigga been workin'
Shit, a nigga been hustlin'
Shit, a nigga been hurtin'
Shit, a nigga been strokin', bitches been squirtin'
My flow pullin' out, the opposite of early
Nigga been wipin' up dookie and burpin'
I was with the toolie right on my person
I be on Southside swervin', gone like a fly route (That's my baby)
Moms on the grind, goin' hard, look at my child
Pop set the bar with the Yak in the gar'
When my new shit drop, you can all quit your jobs now
Fuckin' on the thot, and she give the best top, wow
Backshot, pound, dog her out like a Chow Chow
Waterboy, hustle 'til the whole world drownin'
And grandmama got found at the water fountain
Ridin' 'round with the 5% tint on the Crown Vic
G's move in silence
Rather make moves than announcements
See a opportunity and pounce it
You at the red light surrounded
Better go 'head with the clout shit
You gon' regret when you doubted
You know you left when we was down bad sleepin' on couches
Ha, should've fucked around and found out, bitch
[Chorus: Johnny Venus, Johnny Venus & J. Cole]
What's up man? (What's up man?)
What's up gang? (What's up gang?)
I'm gettin' this money (I'm gettin' this money)
I'm fuckin' this fame (Man, fuck this fame)
I'm trappin' this water (Trappin' this water)
Makin' shit shake (I'm makin' shit shake)
"Give me a dollar" ("Come on, give me a dollar")
Bitch, give me a break (Bitch, give me a break)

[Post-Chorus: Johnny Venus & J. Cole]
Most likely to succeed (Yeah, yeah-yeah)
Most likely to smoke weed (Yeah, yeah-yeah)
Most likely to get money (Yeah, yeah)
Doin' somethin' I believe (Yeah-yeah)
Most likely put the city (Yeah-yeah)
On my back, it ain't heavy (Yeah-yeah)
Most likely got the people (Yeah-yeah)
Goin' crazy overseas (Uh)
I been in the Taurus (I been in the Taurus)
I been in the Jeep (I been in the Jeep)
I been in the Crown Vic and the Mercury (In the Mercury)

Push the 300 (Push 300) like a Bentley (Like a Bentley)
Niggas ain't nothin', if they ain't with me (If they ain't with me)

[Verse 4: J. Cole & Johnny Venus]
Uh, yeah
Me, I been layin' low
Peepin' this shit from a distance and checkin' this chicken, no GMO's
These niggas look rich but they broke, got me playin' poor
Please don't get it fucked up from this homeless aesthetic
Whole lot of homes
And I ain't even put up the tour, but it sold out already

I'm General Tso how a nigga is breaded
I'm gettin' it now and this shit is pathetic
They only respect when you talkin' your shit
I ain't really that nigga to toot his own horn
But today, look, I'm honkin' this bitch
No more Off-Season, it's capital B on my car season
If I happen to be in the mall and you catch yourself lookin' at me
Then you're stargazin'
Don't be dappin' with me if your heart shakin'
Two-faced niggas get the business, I went from rags to riches
There's too many bags, I can't do the math, bitch, I need a statistician
I think I might enter the draft, boy, I got a ratchet, ask the Pistons
Y'all niggas Planet Fitness, I don't panic, no-no

Kyrie under pressure, my handles so cold
They can't fuck with me and I stand on that quote
That's never gon' change like Santa Claus clothes
I know a young man wanna stand on my throne
But I never hate, I'm a fan of lil' bro
But bro got a long way to go (Yeah)
If he think that he ever gon' catch up with Cole

[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
What's up man? (What's up man?)
What's up gang? (What's up gang?)
I'm gettin' this money (I'm gettin' this money)
I'm fuckin' this fame (Man, fuck this fame)
I'm trappin' this water (Trappin' this water)
Makin' shit shake (Makin' shit shake)
"Give me a dollar" ("Come on, give me a dollar")
Bitch, give me a break (Bitch, give me a break)

Genius Annotation

For the first time since the release of Revenge Of The Dreamers III in 2019, EARTHGANG, JID, and J. Cole connect together again on “WATERBOYZ”. The laid-back song covers various topics, including hustling, lust for material items, jealousy and the worst dangers of crime.

“WATERBOYZ” also alludes to the culture of young boys in Atlanta – the city Doctur Dot, Johnny Venus and JID all come from – selling water bottles for a dollar at various intersections in the city, especially during the summer time, to make some more money and help their families.
