About This Track

'Menace' brings together three Atlanta rappers, Lil Yachty, Quavo, and Offset, on a compilation track from the Quality Control label's December 2017 release. The song opens with Yachty adopting a deeper register and faster flow before Quavo delivers the hook, built around repetition and ad-libs. Production comes from 808 Mafia, anchoring the verses in trap fundamentals whilst the three artists trade lines about wealth, status, and excess. The lyrics catalogue luxury signifiers and boastful posturing, Quavo claiming he made the sauce and others ran with the recipe, Offset detailing matte-black cars with eggnog interiors and wide-body Bentaygas. Yachty's verse opens with explicit sexual content before pivoting to family loyalty and financial success, asserting he can now send his whole family to college. The tone throughout is confrontational and celebratory in equal measure, the three voices circling the same thematic territory without much variation in mood or perspective.

"Menace" 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

Menace

[Intro]

(808 Mafia)

[Verse 1: Lil Yachty & Quavo]

Go and bust it open, go ahead baby, get naked

Know you got a nigga but I wanna see you get naked

Deepthroat, deepthroat, baby go ahead, take it

Nigga on the strip, bought a bitch while he in Vegas

Say you gettin' money but the whole world know you fakin', uh (Yee)

Move with the quickness

Flex so hard had to invest in fitness

Everybody think when you rich you can fix shit

Shit ain't broke 'less you broke, that's some real shit (Yeah)

I can send my whole family to college now

Rap nigga mad 'cause his father never came around

My lil' brother J A1, know he stayed down

He'll knock the tooth off a nigga if they talk down (Yeah)

That's right, knock your tooth if you talk loose

Bitch givin' neck, deep throat like a white goose

(Ahah, yeah)

[Chorus: Quavo]

Spread it out, spread it out, spread it out, moshpit

(Moshpit, moshpit, moshpit, yeah)

Wrap 'em up, wrap 'em up, hold 'em up for hostage

(Wrap 'em up, wrap 'em up, wrap 'em up, yeah)

Just bought a coupe and the interior ostrich

(Ostrich, ostrich, ostrich, yeah)

Walk in the bank, got a mil to deposit (Cash)

Hundred thousand dollars on the neckpiece, flex piece

Hundred thousand dollars on the walkthrough, check, please

I made the sauce and they ran with the recipe (Sauce)

Ran with the recipe (Ran)

All of my bitches treat me like Bill Bellamy (Player)

Treat me like Bill Bellamy (Player)

I'm on the couch and I'm posted like Ellen be (Ellen, yeah)

Posted like Ellen be (E)

[Verse 2: Offset]

Big dog, pull up in the quick frog (Big dog)

Matte black, inside eggnog (Matte black)

Smokin' on Biscotti, smellin' like a wet dog (Ooh)

I never wanna go back to a rec call (No)

Lamborghini pullin' up, this not a Vette dog (Skrt)

Get the dope and chop it up and then finesse y'all (Hey)

Wide body, wide hips on Bentayga (Wide)

Inside red like the candy LifeSavers (Ayy)

Lookin' at the 'Tek on my wrist, icebreaker (Whoo)

[Chorus: Quavo]

Spread it out, spread it out, spread it out, moshpit

(Moshpit, moshpit, moshpit, yeah)

Wrap 'em up, wrap 'em up, hold 'em up for hostage

(Wrap 'em up, wrap 'em up, wrap 'em up, yeah)

Just bought a coupe and the interior ostrich

(Ostrich, ostrich, ostrich, yeah)

Walk in the bank, got a mil to deposit (Cash)

Hundred thousand dollars on the neckpiece, flex piece

Hundred thousand dollars on the walkthrough, check, please

I made the sauce and they ran with the recipe (Sauce)

Ran with the recipe (Ran)

All of my bitches treat me like Bill Bellamy (Player)

Treat me like Bill Bellamy (Player)

I'm on the couch and I'm posted like Ellen be (Ellen, yeah)

Posted like Ellen be (E)

[Outro: Lil Yachty]

(808 Mafia)

Go'n bust it open, go ahead baby, get naked

Know you got a nigga but I wanna see you get naked

Deepthroat, deepthroat, baby go ahead, take it

Nigga on the strip, bought a bitch while he in Vegas

Say you gettin' money but the whole world know you fakin'
