Filled up with references to Carti’s gang affiliation and reckless lifestyle, “Vamp Anthem” is a two-minute-long energetic ode to the vampiric aesthetic displayed throughout Whole Lotta Red—Playboi Carti notably refers to himself as ‘King Vamp’ on the album’s 17th track.
The song flips German compo...
[Verse]
When them vamps outside, lil' bitch, you better be ready
When them guns outside, lil' bitch, you better be ready
When the stars align, lil' bitch, you better be ready
I won't take my time, lil' bitch, you know I'm ready
I want it right now, lil' bitch, you know I'm ready (Go, yeah)
My flag the same color as cranberry (Cranberry)
You come 'round by my gang, it's Hail Mary
Them niggas not no thugs, they some fairies (Yeah, yeah)
I'm playing with them birds like I'm Larry (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
We pop right by the curb, they can't tell it (Yeah)
I'm smoking on them herbs, you can smell it (Yeah)
This bag I got all orange like a felon (Yeah)
My bitch, she say she want me, niggas telling
We caught him on the block, we topped his melon (Top, yeah)
We push up to your spot like it's nothing (Yeah)
Free all them young niggas, free Young Melvin (Yeah)
Free all them young niggas, free my cousin (Okay, yeah)
Pussy-ass niggas always bluffing
Pump fake, nigga, you ain't tough (Yeah, tough)
I swear to God if I tote that bitch I'ma hit that boy (Baow, baow)
I swear to God, I just play with the pussy, I don't play with boys (Baow, baow)
You come 'round by my gang, we gon' let them bullets fly (Baow, yeah)
I been sipping on codeine, I got pink eyes (Yeah)
.223 gon' hit him up, he done got hypnotized (Baow)
I done made a mil' in a white tee, but I ain't Franchize (Baow)
These niggas be the new bitches, they just dickride (Slatt)
I done called up to the hotel, she left me paralyzed (Uh)
[Chorus]
Vamp anthem, vamp anthem
