About This Track

Released in 2015 as the eighth track on 'Barter 6', 'Halftime' showcases the vocal instrumentation Young Thug was using to reshape the trap blueprint at the time. The song layers his elastic, melodic delivery over a production that lets him stretch syllables and bend pitch in ways that felt novel then and became foundational later. The chorus is a simple, sung mantra about having a good time, a breather between verses dense with boasts and chemical references.

Young Thug raps about wealth, women, and the trappings of success with a flow that refuses to stay in one lane for long. He name-checks Justin Bieber, JAY-Z, and Willie B in quick succession, piling up cultural touchstones without lingering on any. The wordplay is slippery and associative rather than linear, prioritising rhythm and texture over narrative clarity. It is a track that rewards repeated listens, the kind of performance that helped cement 'Barter 6' as a project with lasting impact on modern trap.

"Halftime" is a track by Young Thug, from the album Barter 6, released 17th April 2015. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Young Thug.

Lyrics

Halftime

[Intro]

Turn it up, Thugger

Thugger, and let's go

[Verse 1]

Halftime (What?), half a Perky, half a xanny, nigga, halftime

Half a pint, pour up an eight, my nigga, halftime

Tryna rob, that stick turn his body to halftime (Boom), yeah

Hit the streets and tear this bitch up like I'm Willie B (Yeah)

No Tennessee, but the chain on my neck is a T (Ayy)

No Memph' Bleek, bitch, I own the Roc, not JAY-Z (Rock), ya dig?

War Ready like Tracy T, ya dig? (Pew-pew, pew-pew-pew-pew-pew-pew-pew-pew)

Racks on racks on racks, just might pull up on my Spider (Skrrt)

All my diamonds black, you can motherfuckin' knight 'em

All these pussy niggas wack, I'm a murk 'em every night'll

Pull up screamin' "Blatt," got my motor out a Viper (Ayy)

Got 100 million flat like my motherfuckin' idol

I might eat it, I might lick it, but I swear I'll never bite 'em (No)

Every time I dress myself, it go motherfuckin' viral (Ah)

Pussy niggas stealin' swag, bring my shit back like recycles (Ha)

I might ask her for some head

I don't know that ho, I act like she dead

Insurance on my money like a wreck (Ayy)

Every time I see her, she lick the cleavage

Fuck her on a ten-thousand dollar bed (What?)

I could never love her, fuck her and

Suck my dick like Beavis, no’n’ but head (Woo)

Cocaine white like Justin Bieber, bitch

I might show the racks and tease the bitch (What?)

I might want it but I don't need the bitch (Shee)

I been flooded out by Jesus, bitch (Shee)

I want your pizza, Little Caesar's, bitch (Shee)

Ninth Ward, I buy my diesel, bitch (Shee)

I don't wanna talk or see a snitch (No)

No teacher, we chalkin' shit

I passed school, I'm passin' all the staffs

I just want that neck like a giraffe

I like fish and water, I'm a bear

17.5, I shave it like it's Nair

Lay out, watch the kids like a daycare

I don't play games, no, I'm not the fair

I got Hot Wheels like a motherfuckin' chariot (Skrrt)

Chanel Vintage, boy, this shit is rare

[Chorus]

Hey, a good time

Hey, let's have a good time

Hey, a very good ti-i-ime

Hey, let's have a very good time

Hey, a very good time

Hey-ooh, let's have a very good ti-i-ime

[Verse 2]

I done figured this shit out, if you think you gon' bite on my swag, it's a virus (Oh)

I don the swag and I pull up on bitches dressed in all white like Miley Cyrus (Yeah)

No, I'm not gay, I fuck bitches on bitches, I whip out, she suck on my private (Suck it)

Lil' nigga play, I'ma catch him down bad and then stick 'em, fold 'em like a wallet (Ooh)

I swear to God there's only one of me and these bitches three-deep like a trident (Ooh)

I'm walkin' through it like tons of the ones and these bitches grabbin', I'm at Follies (Ooh)

Fuck nigga try me, I swear to God, Lil Woody pull up and pop at his noggin' (Pew-pew-pew-pew-pew-pew-pew)

Bitch, I got water, I look like I'm fresh from Hawaii

[Bridge]

Havin' the time of my motherfuckin' life

I'm gonna buy everything I want, I can't think twice

You can turn the ice tray off, baby, I'm havin' ice

As long as I live, wouldn't want a wife

[Chorus]

Hey, a good time

Hey, let's have a good time

Hey, a very good ti-i-ime

Hey, let's have a very good time

Hey, a very good time

Hey-ooh, let's have a very good ti-i-ime
