About This Track

Future and Young Thug trade verses over a trap beat anchored by a simple, repetitive hook. The track moves between Future's catalogue of material excess and Young Thug's sharper, more aggressive delivery, both rappers cycling through images of money, cars, and weapons with the kind of rhythmic precision that turns boasting into something close to incantation. The production is minimal; the hook does the work. The song's title invokes the dance craze, but the lyrical content stays locked in the trap vernacular. Future's verses stack up specifics: Ray Charles, Brett Favre, Lamborghini Urus, mink coats, the accumulated detail of a certain kind of wealth. Young Thug keeps things more abstract, letting the cadence and the aggression carry the meaning. It is a straightforward record, built on repetition and momentum rather than surprise.

"Harlem Shake" is a track by Future, from the album High Off Life, released 15th May 2020. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Harlem Shake

[Intro: Future]

Chopper make him do the Harlem Shake

(Wheezy Beats)

Ayy

[Chorus: Future]

Trap money, ayy

Snow bunnies, ayy

Trap money, ayy

Push start, ayy

Racks tall, ayy

Never fall, ayy

Guitar, ayy

Play with racks, ayy

Trap star, ayy

Brett Favre, ayy

Money, cars, ayy

Cook hard, ayy

White chalk, ayy

Nonstop, ayy

Chopper make him do the Harlem Shake

[Verse 1: Young Thug]

YSL, ayy (Ayy)

Saint Laurent, ayy (Ayy)

Smart curve TV (What?)

Smart car, ayy (Skrrt)

Grab the carbine, ayy (Ayy)

Let it spark, ayy (Brrat)

Grab a jet, ayy (Ayy)

Let's depart, ayy (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

AK swang, Glock blastin' hard, ayy (Ayy, ayy)

Ayy, ayy, let that Lamborghini Urus talk, ayy (Slatt, ayy)

The chopper gon' pop it, just feel it, kneel it, woah, ayy (Ayy)

Ayy, ayy, cruise your tongue with a cop, ayy

[Chorus: Future]

Trap money, ayy

Snow bunnies, ayy

Trap money, ayy

Push start, ayy

Racks tall, ayy

Never fall, ayy

Guitar, ayy

Play with racks, ayy

Trap star, ayy

Brett Favre, ayy

Money, cars, ayy

Cook hard, ayy

White chalk, ayy

Nonstop, ayy

Chopper make him do the Harlem Shake

[Verse 2: Future]

Ray Charles, ayy

You can still see him shinin'

Drag racer, ayy

Came through the trap glidin'

Ran out of garage space

Shit on you niggas, parquet

Ayy, all this gas on me, I open up a gas station

Spent a kilo on a mink coat, ayy, ayy, ayy

Lil' shawty want some Henny and co-co, ayy, ayy

Racks everywhere, Alpo, ayy

Chopper make him do the Harlem Shake

[Chorus: Future]

Trap money, ayy

Snow bunnies, ayy

Trap money, ayy

Push start, ayy

Racks tall, ayy

Never fall, ayy

Guitar, ayy

Play with racks, ayy

Trap star

Brett Favre

Money, cars

Cook hard, ayy

White chalk, ayy

Nonstop, ayy

Chopper make him do the Harlem Shake

[Outro: Future]

Do the Harlem Shake

Har-Har-Har-Harlem Shake, Harlem Shake
