Verse 1
Count up the bands, stickin' out
No rubber band is big enough
Chain is so heavy, can't pick it up
Came with the gang, a myriad
In the first verse, Post Malone sets the tone by talking about counting money and showing off wealth. The phrase "stickin' out" suggests that he’s not just stacking cash but doing it in a way that’s noticeable. The heavy chain symbolizes his success, almost too much to handle, while "came with the gang" emphasizes the importance of his friends in this journey. Right away, we see how intertwined his lifestyle is with his crew.
Chorus
Came with the gang, a myriad
I see your whip, hilarious
Where is my roof? Mysterious
My whip from Fast & Furious
The chorus highlights his crew again, reinforcing that he doesn’t ride solo. "I see your whip, hilarious" suggests he finds humor in comparing their flashy lifestyles, while "where is my roof? Mysterious" hints at living life on the edge. The reference to "Fast & Furious" connects speed and thrill with his lifestyle, showing he’s not just about the money but also the excitement that comes with it.
Verse 2
Curtains with yellow interior
I get the commas, period
Covered in ice, Siberia
I'm at the top of the pyramid
In this verse, Post Malone continues to flaunt his wealth. The "yellow interior" adds a unique flair to his car, making it stand out even more. "I get the commas" is a clever way to say he’s making a lot of money. "Covered in ice, Siberia" suggests he’s adorned with diamonds, which ties back into the theme of luxury. By saying he’s at the "top of the pyramid," he reinforces that he’s reached a peak in his career and life, feeling on top of the world.
Chorus
Bitch, I'm a star, I'm Sirius
We came to play, it's serious
Came with the gang, a myriad
Here, the chorus shifts slightly but keeps the same vibe. Calling himself a "star" shows confidence, and the pun on "Sirius" plays into how bright he shines. The line "we came to play, it's serious" hints that while they’re having fun, they’re also serious about their success. Again, the crew is front and center, showing that he doesn’t just shine alone.
Bridge
What you gon' do?
I'ma pull up with the crew
When I'm off the juice
In the bridge, Post Malone poses a question that feels inviting. He’s ready to roll with his crew, especially when he’s had a few drinks ("off the juice"). It captures that fun, carefree spirit of partying and living in the moment. It’s like he’s saying, "Let’s see how wild we can get together."
Outro
Came with the army, army, army, yeah
The people 'round me still the same
We just wanna party, party, party, yeah
The outro circles back to the loyalty of his crew. Calling them an "army" emphasizes their strength and unity. "The people 'round me still the same" shows that despite his success, he stays true to the ones who’ve always been there. The repetition of "party" drives home the message that they’re all about having a good time together, no matter what.

No rubber band is big enough
Chain is so heavy, can't pick it up
