Hyaena Lyrics – Travis Scott
Hyaena Lyrics
[Intro: Derek Shulman]
The situation we are in at this time
Neither a good one, nor is it so unblessed
It can change, it can stay the same
I can say, I can make my claim
Hail, hail, hail
[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
Yeah! okay
This sh!t is outta control
I'm driving through Hell and I done brought snow
It's shining in here, then I done brought glow
I hear the sirens right out the chateau, run me the info
Tryna hear what you did, not how you came close
'Cause I get bobblehead like I done made pro
I made Italian bread like I done made dough
I be all around the map
Write a show by myself like I'm Chelsea Handler
Or write a series 'bout my b!tches like I'm Kelsey Grammar
Nicknamed the jet Jayhawk 'cause it's outta Kansas
You know it's Spalding in my top, I'm in my esperanza
You know it's slamming wall to wall
We gotta fill the stands up, with slaps and the anthems
Poetic justice, I got you in all my stanzas
With your model stances, you everything I know about it
[Refrain: Travis Scott]
Know about it, know about it
Know about it, know about it (Ah)
Know about it, know about it
Know about it, know about it
[Break: George Clinton]
What we know
Where you shall go
Power, ah
[Verse 2: Travis Scott]
Uh, yeah!
C-notes, B-notes, I took the biggest boat
We stayed down for life, it's like a jingle to do 'em all
We too much involved to spend a single ounce of time
She bust a whole ounce by doing lines
I had to leave, like the leaves do trees
I'm finally home, I wiped the stress
Then I touched that sweat
We took 'em 35 to 1 like this sh!t roulette
Hold up, beg your pardon, we done lit up, baby
Set up, told the preacher, "Never finish, "
That's to say the least
Buy it, never lease it, but I gotta lease it
Mobile, Mona type of pieces, Met Gala, night Jesus
Skip it, hit the city, party pack, I got it with me
I'm shotty while I let you with me
I'm too bent to let you ride, barely 'til it's empty
Gotta feel me, pockets dumb fat and I got a skinny
Squad is with me, and that's everything I know about it
[Refrain: Travis Scott]
I know about it, I know about it
I know about it, I know about it
I know about it, I know about it
I know about it, I know about it
I know about it, I know about it
I know about it, I know about it
[Outro: George Clinton]
Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time
For y'all have knocked her up
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe
I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own sh!t
Hyaena Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
The introduction sets the tone for the song, describing the current situation as neither good nor entirely unfortunate. It acknowledges the potential for change and the ability to make a claim or assert oneself. The phrase "Hail, hail, hail" might be a way to emphasize the significance of what follows.
[Verse 1]
Travis Scott begins by expressing that things are getting out of control. He uses vivid imagery to convey a chaotic situation, driving through Hell (metaphorically) and bringing snow and glow. The mention of sirens at the chateau implies a tense and dangerous environment. Scott is interested in knowing what actions someone took, not just how close they came to achieving something. He references success and wealth, comparing himself to a professional athlete and enjoying the rewards of his work. He also refers to making a lot of money (Italian bread) and being well-traveled ("all around the map").
Scott uses cultural references, mentioning Chelsea Handler, Kelsey Grammar, and the Jayhawk, which is a nickname for the University of Kansas sports teams. He further talks about Slammin' wall to wall, probably referring to energetic performances at concerts and the need to fill the stands with enthusiastic fans. He incorporates poetic justice into his lyrics and praises someone who appears to be a model with her "model stances."
[Refrain]
The refrain emphasizes the repetition of the phrase "know about it." It could suggest that Scott is aware of certain aspects or experiences mentioned in the verses or wants to make sure people understand what he is saying.
[Break]
The break introduces George Clinton, and he utters cryptic lines about knowledge, power, and the paths people may choose to take.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Travis Scott refers to money ("C-notes, B-notes") and staying loyal to his lifestyle despite his success. He speaks about being heavily involved and committed to what he does, spending time and effort on it. There is a mention of drug use (doing lines), but he also talks about leaving certain negative aspects of life behind and returning home to find relief.
Scott describes his experiences with risk-taking, like betting on roulette (taking chances). He uses phrases like "buy it, never lease it" to emphasize his preference for owning and committing fully. He talks about the things he has achieved, the material possessions he has acquired, and the famous events he has attended, like the Met Gala.
[Refrain]
The second refrain emphasizes the repetition of "I know about it," which might reinforce his understanding or familiarity with various aspects of life.
[Outro]
In the outro, George Clinton provides an abstract and introspective perspective. He mentions that Mother Earth is "pregnant for the third time," a metaphor indicating cycles of change and renewal. He talks about experiencing the dark and negative aspects of the world ("tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe") but not being offended by it, perhaps implying that he has learned to cope with and rise above challenges. The last line emphasizes the need to overcome negativity and avoid getting trapped in destructive patterns.
Overall, the song seems to blend elements of chaos, success, personal experiences, cultural references, and reflections on life's challenges and how to rise above them. As with many song lyrics, interpretations may vary, and individual listeners may find personal meanings in the words and themes presented.
