About This Track

The fifth single from SATURATION, 'BOYS' is BROCKHAMPTON's assertion of themselves as an unconventional boyband. Against the grain of the genre's usual template, the collective remind listeners that they are indeed a boyband, despite being gay, Black, and rapping, and the track becomes a statement of defiance wrapped in swagger and self-regard. The song moves through a series of boasts and confessions, its members cycling through verses that veer between bravado and vulnerability. One voice speaks of avoiding probation and selling drugs; another admits to suicidal ideation before pivoting to the assertion that they will shake the world. The production, handled entirely in-house by the group living together in South Los Angeles, sits beneath these claims with a kind of studied cool, letting the contradictions breathe rather than resolving them.

"BOYS" is a track by BROCKHAMPTON, from the album SATURATION, released 8th June 2017. The track is 4:38 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about BROCKHAMPTON.

Lyrics

BOYS

Hella boys say, hella boys say, hella boys
I feel just like Zayn, I feel just like Harry
I cop it and I flip it, have it sittin' on pirellis
Me and all my niggas, Southside One Direction
Tens and tens and tens and tens, got lens that make direction
Flow to my location, lowkey I'm in Cali
Just avoiding my probation, fuck your jurisdiction
Fuck the Federales, sold out by my father
He gon' feel the karma when I get the, get the commas, nigga
I don't have, I don't have no fear, nigga
Buy the ounce, sellin' ounces over here, nigga
I don't lie, I just bought a whole grill
Arguing with my bitch, my whip sit twenty-six, nigga
Lowkey I'm a heartthrob and I ain't drop an album yet
I'm something like a poster, sitting on your girl's wall
And something about my face make her take her clothes off
Y'all say y'all got bitches but y'all bitches make my dick soft
Why y'all always mad 'cause I'm feeling myself?
What the fuck you mean, I can't feel myself?
Old girl suburban but now I'm on to new things
Ego like celebrity but real like a dope fiend
Tanning out in Hollywood, got Chantel's on my coattails
From motels to hotels, I'm good, bitch, I'm good
From hotels to motels, I'm good, bitch, I'm good
From hotels to motels, I'm good, bitch, I'm good
Hella boys say, hella boys say, hella boys
They say that they want me, they forgot about me
In the city I'm a menace, I give CEO's the business
Marathons I gotta finish, foreign whip is speaking Yiddish
Lately, I been feeling vicious, why y'all crying like some infants?
You don't wanna be a witness?
Then you better mind your fucking business
All these crumbs on my denim, we the only dogs spitting venom
Been some years I tried to tell them
But they wanted me to be the villain
They just wanted me to lose, ones I loved would make me choose
Had to cut the ones I thought I'd take to the top
Just so I could make a move
Dropped out of college, smoking the same campus
Tell me 'bout limits
Last year I was suicidal, took those thoughts and tried to kill it
Used to avoid, used to being paranoid, huffin' with my boys
Pack it up, I shake the world like asteroids
Give me love before you try to give me noise, I destroy
Hella boys say, hella boys say, hella boys
They say that they want me they forgot about me
