Hell of a Night
A Night of Revelry and Liberation: ScHoolboy Q's Anthem Explored
Lyrics
Get up out your seat, you can have my drink, let me see you dance
Inviting someone to get up and dance, offering them a drink
Get up off your feet, you can be my freak, let me see you jam
Encouraging someone to express themselves freely on the dance floor
When the sun falls,
Setting the scene for the events that follow as the sun sets
Then the moon lights,
Transitioning from day to night with the moon rising
Might be a hell of a night, (Go, go, go, go)
Suggesting that the upcoming night might be extraordinary
Get up out your seat, you can have my drink, let me see you dance
Repeating the call to dance and emphasizing the anticipation of a great night
Get up off your feet, you can be my freak, let me see you jam
-When the sun falls,
-Then the moon lights,
-Might be a hell of a night go
-Shit's real and I just begun, so many ladies wanna share my tongue
Expressing the realness of the situation and hinting at a beginning
Uh, man this life of mine, me in the lead being pressed for time
Feeling pressured by time and being in the lead in his life
So that bottle gon' pop, then my record gon' spin
Expecting celebration with the popping of a bottle and the spinning of a record
Then them hoes gon' jock, ain't no telling how my night might end
Acknowledging attention from admirers, uncertain how the night will end
Night life in the bright lights, swagging hard in my Concords
Describing the nightlife, confidence in expensive sneakers (Concords)
You at the bottom, we the Top Dawgs, we get high as them elevators
Asserting dominance, referencing Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE)
Take a sip with me, now move your hip with me, now make it dip for me
Inviting someone to join the celebration, asking for commitment
Now will you ride for me? Will you die for me?
-Will you jump off a cliff and hit the sky with me?
-Uh, ménage á troìs, four titties, no bras and no flaws
Describing a threesome with confidence and self-assuredness
You, me, and her ball with no drawers, get high with a God I am no star
-Feeling good, all this money on my bank card
Feeling good with money and possessions
10 grand in my pocket, nigga, all ours
-Porsche Panamera, uh, yeah, four doors
Detailing a luxurious lifestyle with a Porsche Panamera
Pedal to the floor, ain't that what it's made for?
-I ain't minding if the world stops
Expressing indifference to the world's problems, living in a challenging environment
Said I ain't minding if the world stops, we been living up in Hell's shop
-We been living up in Hell's shop
Determined to reach the top and live life to the fullest
So I'ma live it to the top notch, so I'ma take it to the top notch
-I ain't running if the world stops
Reiterating indifference to global issues
Said I ain't minding if the world stops, we been living up in Hell's shop
-We been living up in Hell's shop
Reaffirming the commitment to live life to the fullest
So I'ma live it to the top notch, fuck with me
-Get up out your seat, you can have my drink, let me see you dance
Repeating the theme of dancing and expressing excitement for the night
Get up off your feet, you can be my freak, let me see you jam
-When the sun falls,
-Then the moon lights,
-Might be a hell of a night (Go, go, go, go)
-Get up out your seat, you can have my drink, let me see you dance
-Get up off your feet, you can be my freak, let me see you jam
-When the sun falls,
-Then the moon lights,
-Might be a hell of a night go
-Uh, got the whole world tryna figure out Q
People trying to understand the artist, claiming uniqueness and success
You can never find a nigga do what I do, TDE, I'm the nigga from the crew
-Hit it one time, now she wanting round two
-Ghetto chick, but I love them bamboos
Describing a preference for a particular type of woman and lifestyle
No lean, but I chopped and screwed
-She want a groovy type, bucket hat dude
-Champagne pop, I'm about that life, molly gon' pop, I'm about that life
Listing substances and activities associated with a carefree lifestyle
Backwood toke, I'm about that life, living good, might not remember this night
-World might end, so I'm living my life
Acknowledging uncertainty about the future and choosing to live in the moment
Fuck hanging out, I ain't tryna fly kites
-Tryna go to Paris? Nigga hit me on the Skype
Offering to connect via Skype for international plans
Tryna do a show? Nigga twenty for the hype
-Uh, don't touch me, bitch, I'm famous, tryna party and bang my fingers
Asserting fame and the lifestyle that comes with it
Living large, I'm an entertainer, so cold but I come with flamers
-First sex, she up in my closet, whips drawers while I top deposits
Recalling a sexual encounter and the financial capacity to support others
Girl let me see you stop and pause it, fuck around, might pay your mortage
-I ain't minding if the world stops
Repeating themes of indifference to global issues and determination to enjoy life
Said I ain't minding if the world stops, we been living up in Hell's shop
-We been living up in Hell's shop
-So I'ma live it to the top notch, so I'ma take it to the top notch
-I ain't running if the world stops
