About This Track

Lil Baby and Offset trade verses over a trap beat built on repetition and swagger, the pair circling the same themes of wealth, status, and the moral cost of rapid ascent. The chorus settles into a hypnotic loop: diamonds in tennis bracelets, a new car for his mother, chains and whips bought with money that has become its own form of bondage. The production stays minimal, letting the voices dominate, each bar stacking detail on detail until the boast becomes almost mechanical. What emerges beneath the flex is a portrait of contradiction. Offset and Lil Baby acknowledge the trap they've escaped and the one they've entered, the line between liberation and servitude blurred by the very success they're celebrating. The track moves with purpose but no urgency, confident in its own weight, the kind of record that sounds equally at home in a club or a car with the windows down.

"Hook Up" is a track by Quality Control, from the album Quality Control: Control the Streets, Vol. 1, released 8th December 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Hook Up

[Intro: Lil Baby & Offset]

Cook that shit up Quay

Cook it up (Hey)

[Chorus: Lil Baby & Offset]

VVS's in my tennis bracelets

Could've bought my mama a Mercedes (mama)

Still bought my mama a Merecedes (mama)

Put a hundred racks in my mama's savings (racks)

Fuck all that bullshit, keep me a full clip (fuck it)

Dressed in all white like some cool whip (woo)

That money turned me to a slave (slave)

I bought some chains and a brand new whip (uh)

Everybody on my drip now (drip)

This a stick up, get down (stick)

They mad 'cause I'm running my town (who?)

King me, where's my crown? (woo)

Still selling bags of the loud (bag)

Make a pussy nigga pipe down (ah)

Dashboard say a two and a quarter, I do it

Got your bitch jamming my new shit

[Verse 1: Lil Baby & Offset]

Two door, today I feel coupe-ish (two door)

You had a chance but you blew it (blew it)

Bankrolls on me, they all blue-in', yeah (racks)

Who ever thought I would do this? (who?)

Told them I already knew this (I knew it)

Extendo Glock, I don't tote Rugers

Money too long for a ruler (long)

Money same size as a school bus (uh)

I used to trap on a school bus, yeah

I used to serve on a scooter (serve)

Now I spend racks on my jeweler (racks)

Offset with me, beat this beat up (Set)

They thinkin' we got the hook up (hook up)

Net worth one mil, you can look up (look up)

Make 'em look down, got 'em shook up (ahh)

Five hundred racks when I re-up (woo)

They talkin' down but hate we up (who?)

Bad bitches all in my DM (bad)

I hope my ho never see them (no)

I know she probably gon' leave me (ooh)

Fuck it, I'm still gonna be me (fuck it)

None of these niggas can't be me (nah)

Break in the house for a TV (TV)

Now they see me all on TV (hey)

[Chorus: Lil Baby & Offset]

VVS's in my tennis bracelets

Could've bought my mama a Mercedes (mama)

Still bought my mama a Merecedes (mama)

Put a hundred racks in my mama's savings (racks)

Fuck all that bullshit, keep me a full clip (fuck it)

Dressed in all white like some cool whip (woo)

That money turned me to a slave (slave)

I bought some chains and a brand new whip (uh)

Everybody on my drip now (drip)

This a stick up, get down (stick)

They mad 'cause I'm running my town (who?)

King me, where's my crown? (woo)

Still selling bags of the loud (bag)

Make a pussy nigga pipe down  (Offset)

Dashboard say a two and a quarter, I do it

Got your bitch jamming my new shit

[Verse 2: Offset]

Hundred racks, no counterfeit (racks)

I bought a mansion secluded (hey)

Aimin' the stick at medulas (baow)

12 behind me in the Hellcat, I lose 'em (12)

Bentley coupe come out at night Freddie Kreuger

Detach my top, bitch I'm switching my mood in (woo)

Boogers on me, bitch it's nasty, a loogy

Lil Baby dunk it, I oop it (huh)

Wait, pull up with the K (wait)

Nigga poppin' so I put the ten on his face (brrt)

She never seen the stars in the skin of the Wraith (stars)

Fuck her in the jaw, send a pen to your place (ahh)

Skeleton AP, it got a diamond in the face (woo)

Wrapped around the bezel, having water like a lake (water, splash)

Pateks on fleek, got baguettes in my neck (hey)

Bitch want some molly, some perky, some X (X)

Hit her one time, do not text, get the exit (uh)

Watch on my 'Gram, see me boardin' the jet (woo)

Count all these racks and I flex and I flex it (racks)

I pray to the lord at night 'fore I forget it (God)

Pray on my downfall, he mad 'bout a bitch (huh)

I let the F&N eat out your ribs (bah)

Water my wrist and my orchards for real (splash)

Three hundred K on my whip (skrt)

[Chorus: Lil Baby & Offset]

VVS's in my tennis bracelets

Could've bought my mama a Mercedes (mama)

Still bought my mama a Merecedes (mama)

Put a hundred racks in my mama's savings (racks)

Fuck all that bullshit, keep me a full clip (fuck it)

Dressed in all white like some cool whip (woo)

That money turned me to a slave (slave)

I bought some chains and a brand new whip (uh)

Everybody on my drip now (drip)

This a stick up, get down (stick)

They mad 'cause I'm running my town (who?)

King me, where's my crown? (woo)

Still selling bags of the loud (bag)

Make a pussy nigga pipe down (ah)

Dashboard say a two and a quarter, I do it

Got your bitch jamming my new shit
