[Intro: Quavo]
I 'preciate you
You makin' me realize all the time I wasted
Thinkin' 'bout them bando days, goin' back to the basic
But I don't really think you know that though
So I thought I'd explain it

[Chorus: Quavo]
In the bando I hated starvin' (Starvin')
In the bando I hated starvin' (Bando)
So many late nights I had to lock in
Spinnin' and finessin' n***as, robbin' (Spinnin')
When the gang meet at the 'partments
There's only the gang that's important (Gang)
Keepin' it real in all fields and clean up your spills, you never get extorted (For real)

[Verse 1: Quavo]
The Nawf ain't raised nothin' dumb (Uh-huh)
You n***as can't take nothin' from me
Feel like I been raised in the jungle (Jungle)
My momma ain't raised no dummy (Momma)
Nah, I ain't never been a scrub (Scrub)
Shit get sticky out the mud
Five watches plain, three flood (Flood)
N***a want smoke, it's all love
N***a want smoke, it's all love (Smoke)
Don't get it twisted, I still keep it on me
I'll spin the whole block, just 'cause (Skrrt, skrrt)
Young n***a please don't do it (No)
She gets sticky like mud (Mud)
Five watches plain, three flood (Flood)
Ain't got time, but I got time today
I ain't even goin' for mean mug (Mug)
Buckshots, straight slugs
I got blue tips in this gun (Blue)
Ain't even goin' for none (No, no)
Twelve, yeah, squally I run (Twelve)
Young n***a fresh out on bond (Yeah)
Ain't got time, but I got time today
When you see me, please don't judge (Nope)
In the bando I hated starvin'
[Verse 2: Offset]
(Hey) In the trenches, I had to rob 'em
Sinnin' and spinnin' and shootin' carbons (Spin)
They go body for body, coffin for coffin (Body for body)
She gon' dive in my water just like a dolphin (Dolphin)
Pull up in Ferraris, see the boss in here
Bitch n***a, we don't even rock with them (Bitch n***a)
One life to live, can't pause the film (Hoo)
Hey, what's your name, baby? (What's your name?)
I can see it in your eyes, you been through pain, baby (Pain)
I can tell I make you shy, I'm not a lame, baby (Lane)
Get money and I get high on private planes, lady (Get money)
Two Tommys to get the spendin' 'til they feel lazy (Two Tommys)
Twinkle, twinkle, yellow diamonds like I urinated (Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle)
I done been in situations, never cooperated (Never cooperated)
We can always have a talk, long as the guap related (Long as the racks involved)

[Chorus: Quavo & Takeoff]
In the bando I hated starvin' (Starvin')
In the bando I hated starvin' (Starvin')
So many late nights had to lock in (Yeah)
Spinnin' and finessin' n***as robbin' (Spendin')
When the gang meet at the 'partments (Yeah)
There's only the gang that's important (Important)
Keepin' it real in all fields and clean up your spills, you never get extorted (Extorted, Takeoff!)
[Chorus: Quavo]
In the bando I hated starvin'
In the bando I hated starvin'
So many late nights had to lock in
Juggin' and finessin' n***as, robbin' (Robbin')
When the gang meet at the 'partments
There's only the gang that's important (Important)
Keepin' it real in all fields, you clean up your spills, you never get extorted

[Outro: Quavo]
'Cause she get sticky like mud (Mud)
Five watches plain, three flood
N***a want smoke, it's all love
N***a want smoke, it's all love
M-m-m-murda on it
