[Chorus: Poo Bear]
You don't have to go home
You can stay right here, put one in the air
While we're bending✦ corners✦ on my chrome
Same shit another✦ year, in the southern✦ hemisphere✦
Wait a while, you don't have to go
[Verse 3: Big Boi & Killer Mike]
Hot Tub Tony,✦ sucka✦ free and still bubblin
Truck still rattling and bumping✦ now move something
Hold up, Big Boi! I'm still weed-crumpling
The 'za keeps shaking, and block keep jumping✦
Lay back, lay back, treat this eight six cut like a Maybach
Hey, show these suckas that after fifty✦ million sold
Daddy✦ Fat Sacs still where the hood at, hood at
Hood rats and decoy✦ D-Boys understood that
Purple weed, it's creme de la creme, where the good at
I got it in that 1.5, I had to put the swisha✦ down cause my lungs got tired✦
Now let's ride, lets ride
Back down 85, five
With the click in the truck, full of chicks in the back of the 6
Nobody✦ going home tonight
[Chorus: Poo Bear]
You don't have to go home
Straighten up your hair, you don't need a mirror
You can fix your makeup in my chrome
Same shit another✦ year, in the southern✦ hemisphere✦
Wait a while, before✦ you don't have to go
[Bridge: Poo Bear]
Ahh! It feels like ecstasy✦
The sound, whoa! feels like ecstasy✦
Oooh.. oohh! feels like ecstasy✦ (Feels like ecstasy!)✦
The groove (the groove), takes control of me
[Chorus: Poo Bear]
You don't have to go home
You can stay right here, put one in the air
While we're bending✦ corners✦ on my chrome
Same shit another✦ year, in the southern✦ hemisphere✦
Wait a while, you don't have to go

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"eight six cut like a Maybach"

① Referencing the classic 1986 Monte Carlo model often modified in Southern car culture.② Drawing a stylistic comparison between the luxury of a modern Maybach and the 'cut' (aesthetic/customization) of a classic 86 vehicle.

"decoy D-Boys"

① Literal street-level drug dealers.② A play on the 'decoy' concept, suggesting these individuals are mimics or lack the authenticity of the speakers.

Exceptional rhythmic lock-in

High-energy delivery that mimics the subject matter (bumping/rattling)

Polished, professional flow that maintains momentum across multiple bars

Lyrical content remains rooted in standard tropes (weed, cars, status)

Lack of high-concept narrative or multi-layered, complex metaphors

Punchlines rely more on brand-name recognition than intricate linguistic subtext
