About This Track

Takeoff and Travis Scott team up on this upbeat trap cut, a collaboration between two frequent partners in crime. The track moves with a clean, propulsive energy, Takeoff's voice cutting through the mix with characteristic precision as he stacks boasts and street vernacular across the verses and chorus alike. Scott arrives for the second verse, his contribution brief but assured, the pair trading bars over production that keeps the momentum tight and relentless. 'Bless Em' sits comfortably as a mid-album palate cleanser, the kind of straightforward trap banger that doesn't strain for innovation but doesn't need to. It's built on familiar foundations: flexing, posturing, the casual assertion of dominance that defines the form. What keeps it moving is the clarity of the execution and the rapport between the two voices, each knowing exactly where to land and when to step back.

"Bless Em" is a track by Quality Control, from the album Quality Control: Control the Streets, Vol. 2, released 16th August 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Bless Em

[Intro]

DY Krazy

Cicero on the beat

[Chorus: Takeoff]

Diamonds make 'em sneeze, so I bless 'em (Bless)

Nawf side get them thangs, and I stretch 'em (Stretch)

They forgot that we the ones, apply the pressure (Press)

I can see them when they foldin' under pressure (Press)

Eyes wide, geeked up in that Tesla (Eyes wide)

Nawf side, we apply that pressure (Nawf side)

That's a wise guy, and you better not test him (Wise guy)

Watch them birds fly, birdkeeper catch 'em (Brrt)

[Verse 1: Takeoff]

It's the last pie, so I had to stretch it (Stretch)

I'm on Fox 5, try to take my necklace (Neck)

On Instagram Live, updates every second (Sec')

Five Guys in the kitchen, heavy on the veggies (Heavy)

Niggas ain't got money, all cap if I I tell it (Tell)

Niggas gon' get Take the whole pack if I sell it (Take)

We ride like the service secret, niggas' mob tellin' (Mob)

The reason if the breakfast seasoned but it not digestin' (Oh)

Once I get them thangs on the stretcher I'ma stretch it (Stretch it)

Bet they know the game, do they know I'm not a question?(Question)

Eyes blood rushin', and your bitch is smilin', blushin' (Blushin')

I'm worth too much money, ain't no talkin', get to dumpin'

Hunnid round drum on me (Drum), Andre Drummond (Drum)

They don't want smoke with me (Smoke), they know how I'm comin' (Come)

I'm geekin', I'm trippin', I tried to fit Tommy in front of my timing (Tommy gun)

I shed a tear every time I smoke 'cause I roll like the onion (Onion)

[Chorus: Takeoff & Travis Scott]

Diamonds make 'em sneeze, so I bless 'em (Bless)

Nawf side get them thangs, and I stretch 'em (Stretch)

They forgot that we the ones, apply the pressure (Yeah, press)

I can see them when they foldin' under pressure (Yeah, press)

Eyes, (Yah!) wide, geeked up in that Tesla (Eyes wide)

Nawf side, we apply that pressure (Nawf side)

That's a wise guy, and you better not test him (Wise guy)

Watch them birds fly, birdkeeper catch 'em (Brrt)

[Verse 2: Travis Scott]

The dark side, my nights they get reckless (Side)

They send spies, just so they can catch us (Yeah)

Don't use lines, must avoid the set up (Set up)

It don't shine, gotta check the set up (Yah!)

Believe me (Believe me), nightmares keep me up it ain't no sleepin' (Ain't no sleepin')

Flashes outside, know somebody's peepin' (Peepin')

Look down in my cup I keep on drinkin' (Drank)

Why you take so much? I have my reasons (Yah, yah!)

Done with the silence when she sees us

A hunnid on the smile, she keep on askin' why I'm teethin'

Runnin' up the vibe, we brought the ratchets, make it even

Tiptoe through the front door, out the back door, left it geekin' (Yah, yah!)

[Chorus: Takeoff]

Diamonds make 'em sneeze, so I bless 'em (Bless)

Nawf side get them thangs, and I stretch 'em (Stretch)

They forgot that we the ones, apply the pressure (Press)

I can see them when they foldin' under pressure (Press)

Eyes wide, geeked up in that Tesla (Eyes wide)

Nawf side, we apply that pressure (Nawf side)

That's a wise guy, and you better not test him (Wise guy)

Watch them birds fly, birdkeeper catch 'em (Brrt)
