From Fire Hazard2019

Written by Dee Money, Germ, Lil Gnar

Lyrics

Background

[Intro: GNAR]

Me and Dee Money want millions

Millions, yeah, I want the millions, yeah, I want the millions

Leave 'em in the background, gotta get the millions

[Chorus: GNAR]

Leave you in the background, you in the background

Old bitch, new booty, she kinda bad now

In the club with her homegirl, she shake it up, down, up, up, down

Background, you in the background, you in the past now

[Verse 1: GNAR]

Fuckin' with lil' mama, you gon' need some dollars (Dollars)

All them collagen injections turn her cold-hearted (Hearted)

You ain't havin' no money, then you ain't sayin' nothin' (Nothin')

Put a bottle Ace of Spades in the air just to start discussion

Five bands on this coat, I look like a Russian

Uptown, we goin' up now, we at Up&Down

I'm just in my skin, yeah, she say I'm scarred up

Drinking Ace of Spades just like it was water

Made it from the bottom and I can never fall off

They was doubtin' on me, I had to go ball out

From the bottom, I can't never fall off

Left 'em in the background, they was hatin' on us

[Chorus: GNAR & UnoTheActivist]

Background, you in the background

Old bitch, new booty, she kinda bad now

In the club with her homegirl, she shake it up, down, up, up, down

Background, you in the background, you in the past now (Dig)

[Verse 2: UnoTheActivist]

When I wake up, I kick it, lil' baby (Yeah, dig)

Might've stayed in there 'cause I was faded (Yeah, dig)

I might take me a pound, make a baby (What? Dig)

And I'm drippin' real hard on the daily (What? Dig)

And she told me she wasn't gon' say it (What?)

But she say I'm the greatest, the best (What? Dig)

I might pull it around, make her shake some' (What?)

The new booty lookin' amazin' (Ooh)

As I hit from the back, watch her break in

She look back at me like, "Ooh, shit"

All these hoes be fakin', I be tellin' her she too real, yeah

Ridin' down Rodeo in a fuckin' cruise ship (Skrrt)

All white, cocaine, mayo, I call it the cool whip (What? What?)

Just like Ayo Teo, she didn't wanna shoot, yeah (What?)

Double C, okay, I see you in that new shit (Dig)

Just like Ella Mai, I think I need a boo, yeah (Who?)

Somewhere in the front 'cause that's just how I'm movin' (Dig)

[Chorus: GNAR]

Background, you in the background

Old bitch, new booty, she kinda bad now

In the club with her homegirl, she shake it up, down, up, up, down

Background, you in the background, you in the past now

[Verse 3: Germ]

Damn, these blunts too loud, I can't hear the shit y'all niggas be talkin' 'bout

High speed, give me that, where that cheese at?

Bet them dawgs, they in your house

Brand new four-five, wrist so hot

Damn, them bracelets way too rocky

Bitch next to me hold my rocket

Margiela bitch be fly, no license, I (Huh?)

Wish I could align all the stars, I'm so damn high

High as F, the fuckin' pot

We jugged them all, ain't tellin' no lie (Ain't tellin' no lie)

Ups and downs, done seen it already, fuck whatever (You dig?)

Scared of whoever holdin' that cheddar, 'cause I don't check myself (Nah)

Slimy, we so slimy, do whatever, you ain't gotta like me, yeah

Bet that lil' ho bite me, she excited, too excited, yeah (Huh?)

Ran down on that nigga, we too slimy, way too slimy, yeah

'Nother bag, big body bag, think that shit sad?

[Chorus: GNAR]

Background, you in the background

Old bitch, new booty, she kinda bad now

In the club with her homegirl, she shake it up, down, up, up, down

Background, you in the background, you in the past now
