HOTEL LOBBY by Quavo; Takeoff (2023)

(M-M-M-Murda)

Let's get it
Hop off a sixteen passenger
This a G5, no, this not a Challenger (big one)
I keep some members with me, and the freaks get coach seats
They some cannibals (eaters)
They like to get geeked

Drink a whole bottle, wake up and repeat (damn)
She took a little shh, mixed it with the (chill out)
Now she say she seein' 3D (wow)
I go in the jungle and ain't got a coat
I bet I come out with a mink (I bet I)
Do this shit for the fam
'Cause this shit bigger than me (big)
Color stones in my infinity link
And in the factory, masterpiece (factory)
I call him twin 'cause that be my brother
We got the same Rollie, he matchin' me
(Nah, for real)

Water on me like the sauna (wet)
Some karats, some pointers (woo)
All these commas, I won't fumble (fumble)
Migo gunners out the jungle (Migo)
Buy it all, fuck a fronter (fuck nigga)
Cake on, me no funnel (woo, cash)
Drop top feelin' like Stunna (ha, drop top)
Catch these plays, no runner (we gone)
Chrome Heart wallet, smoke my pilot
Take three vibes to the tropics (tropics)
Nigga wasn't shit (shit)
I was outside just servin' narcotics (narcotics, woo)
Pass me that stick
Nigga make one wrong move, just pop him (pop him, brrt)
Lanvin on bro with the ho flooded out in the hotel lobby (flooded, it's crowded)

Diamonds be dancin' like Bobby (they dancin')
Don't touch it, this Glocky be cocky (don't touch it)
Shroom, and G6 departed (we geekin')
Bitches gon' trend, I'm the topic (keep trendin')
The way I pull up, I'ma pop it
And none of these niggas gon' stop me (pull up, gone)
Put that shit on, get a cup for the drip
I'm a motherfuckin' faucet
Keep low, keep stackin', your bank'll get bigger (go)
Never will I throw some shade on no nigga (on Take')
Lil' nigga, don't play with these niggas (no)
I see the big picture, we up on these niggas (uh)
The Huncho, the one, you gon' call on me, nigga ('Cho)
I got your back, you can fall on me, nigga (fall)
When I get up, we gon' ball on these niggas (ball)
Fuckin' shit up 'cause we beat out the system (fuck the system)

Water on me like the sauna (wet)
Some karats, some pointers (woo)
All these commas, I won't fumble (fumble)
Migo gunners out the jungle (Migo)
Buy it all, fuck a fronter (fuck nigga)
Cake on me, no funnel (woo, cash)
Drop top feelin' like Stunna (ha, drop top)
Catch these plays, no runner (we gone)
Chrome Heart wallet, smoke my pilot
Take three vibes to the tropics (go)
Nigga wasn't shit (shit)
I was outside just servin' narcotics (narcotics, woo)
Pass me that stick

Nigga make one wrong move, just pop him (pop him, brrt)

In "Hotel Lobby," Takeoff shares his experiences as a successful rapper living a lavish lifestyle with his friends in tow. The song opens with a reference to arriving on a private jet and having members of his crew with him, along with some "freaks" who are fine with taking coach seats. Despite the luxury, they also have a wild side; they indulge in partying and drugs and are self-described "cannibals." Takeoff is confident in his ability to survive in tough situations, claiming he could go into the jungle and emerge with a mink coat. He emphasizes that he does all of this for his family.
