About This Track

ScHoolboy Q and 21 Savage trade verses over production from Cardo and Johnny Juliano, the two rappers circling themes of intoxication and detachment. ScHoolboy Q anchors the track with a hypnotic chorus built around the central conceit of floating, a state achieved through substance use and the swagger that comes with material success. His verses move between boasts about money and property and reflections on his trajectory out of poverty, the tone shifting between celebration and something closer to emotional numbness. 21 Savage enters for the second verse, matching the mood with his own sparse delivery. The track sits in the pocket of mid-tempo trap, the production minimal enough to let the repetition of the hook do the heavy lifting. It's a song about dissociation dressed up as braggadocio, the floating metaphor doing work both literal and psychological.

"Floating" is a track by ScHoolboy Q, from the album CrasH Talk, released 26th April 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Floating

[Intro: ScHoolboy Q]

Fall in this bitch, transfusion with the drip drop

Sauce everywhere and got broccoli in my Ziploc

Tatted on my face, no role model, that's for Kid Bops

Got it on my waist, let that shit rock, I’m floating

[Chorus: ScHoolboy Q]

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Swag on max, got no legs, bitch, I’m floating

Might turn into a ghost, punk bitch, yes, I'm floating

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Swag on max, got no legs, bitch, I'm floating

Might turn into a ghost, punk bitch, yes, I'm floating (Woo)

[Verse 1: ScHoolboy Q]

Take it off, yeah, going off, yeah

Money been here, the body's in here

I'm bringing up hell, the chopper don’t fail

The product get late, the pussy gon’ wait

The money I chase, the 'Rari don’t break

You killing my pace, the Carti' my face

A mil' in my safe, now hand me that tape

Ten toes in the mud, who the plug getting wrapped?

Ten-tone yellow pill, selling seals and it's facts, ayy

I ain’t trying to wife you, too emotional ('Motional)

Now take this in and out like it's supposed to go

Made it out the hood, had to bounce right quick (Bounce right quick)

Wonder how I drop out, learn to count like this (Learn to count like this)

Got a new house and a condo where I keep my shit (Where I keep my shit)

Got a shoestring 'round the thing thing, they don't build like this

Okay, I'm floating, ayy

[Chorus: ScHoolboy Q]

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Swag on max, got no legs, bitch, I'm floating

Might turn into a ghost, punk bitch, yes, I'm floating

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Swag on max, got no legs, bitch, I'm floating

Might turn into a ghost, punk bitch, yes, I'm floating

[Verse 2: 21 Savage]

I'm a Percocet floating (Yeah)

AR toting (Straight up)

Big blunt smoking ass nigga (21, 21)

In the Maybach joking (Straight up)

Drive the 'Rari like it's stolen (Straight up)

He a broke Ford Focus ass nigga (Ha)

Pay me for a show, I got a chopper (21)

All this metal, they gon' call the coppers (21)

Can't run the game 'round rappers (Straight up)

'Cause I hang around all robbers (On God)

Little nigga, do you got a problem? (What?)

Little nigga, we'll come and solve it (Straight up)

Cash coming in, can't stop it (21)

I'm running to the money, y'all jogging (Yeah)

Richard Milles represent victory (21)

Still the same, I'm just a richer me (On God)

A washed-up bitch don't mean shit to me (Nothing)

I'ma let your best friend nibble me (Yeah)

You can't do nothing for me

Unless you leaving hickeys where my dick be (21)

I'm Slaughter Gang Savage

Freak hoes get punched just for trying to kiss me (21, 21)

[Chorus: ScHoolboy Q]

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Swag on max, got no legs, bitch, I'm floating

Might turn into a ghost, punk bitch, yes, I'm floating

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Floating, I'm floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating

Swag on max, got no legs, bitch, I'm floating

Might turn into a ghost, punk bitch, yes, I'm floating
