IN THE FIELD Lyrics – Travis Scott, Baby Keem

IN THE FIELD Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus: Playboi Carti]
This chorus uses a football metaphor where Carti compares his bold, aggressive moves in life to a quarterback throwing a b0mb pass. He’s saying he’s right in the middle of action, confident and ready to make big plays. It shows his dominance, fearlessness, and the way he handles pressure while staying flashy and in control.

[Verse 1: Playboi Carti]
Carti kicks off flexing his style and wealth—talking about the ice on his face and women chasing after him. He brags that he never switches up and wants to know what it really takes to be at the top. The line about duct tape could be a metaphor for keeping things under control or silencing fake people. He points out that he’s part of a different crew and makes it clear he’s not like others, repping his wild lifestyle with Travis Scott (aka La Flame).

He takes pride in being unpredictable and unapologetic, pulling off his mask as a way of saying he’s done hiding. Then he flaunts his expensive jewelry and warns others to keep their girls away because of his charm and appeal. Even though he’s living the fast life, he throws in a quick personal detail—chilling with his dad and grandma, showing he’s still grounded in some way.

Carti also paints a picture of chaotic fun—dancing with girls, doing drügs like za (weed) and Wock’ (Wockhardt cough syrup, codeine). He mentions a girl who’s famous online, and he’s trying to sleep with her just for the hype. He keeps things shallow, saying he hits once and moves on, doesn’t care much about anyone, and keeps his pockets stacked with money. The verse ends with him wanting someone like Ice Spice, calling her a “munch,” which is slang for someone who’s just there for pleasure. Overall, the vibe is flashy, reckless, and focused on living in the moment.

[Chorus: Playboi Carti]
Carti repeats the same energetic hook, sticking to the quarterback comparison. He’s still talking about throwing b0mbs, staying right in the middle of chaos, and making big, confident plays. It’s all about power, flashiness, and owning the spotlight like a star athlete making bold moves under pressure.

[Verse 2: Travis Scott]
Travis starts off throwing shade at law enforcement by saying he doesn’t mess with “12” (police). Even though he’s not alone, he feels like he’s handling things solo. He talks about money on someone’s head, suggesting dangerous situations where cash controls loyalty. He compares himself to Joe from Terror Squad, hinting at power and explosive behavior.

Then he shifts to calling out fake energy—talking about a woman popping pills and trying to change herself with Ozempic (a weight loss drug), but it’s not really working. He wants someone real, not someone pretending. Travis likes women who bring energy and aren’t afraid to be bold.

His house is wild like a zoo, and there’s reggaeton music setting a crazy party vibe. He brags about needing two women and name-drops Drummond (possibly Andre Drummond) to emphasize the “double-double.” Lastly, he keeps a drum (gun) nearby, saying he’s ready for whatever trouble might show up. This verse blends luxury, danger, and raw energy with a carefree, don’t-mess-with-me attitude.

[Chorus: Playboi Carti]
Once again, Carti brings back the football imagery. He’s still in the thick of action, throwing “b0mbs” like a quarterback, showing off his confidence and ability to dominate the game. It keeps up the theme of power moves and standing strong in wild situations, like he’s always ready for the next big moment.

[Verse 3: Baby Keem & Travis Scott]
This part starts with Keem talking about hooking up with a girl even though she has a boyfriend, and if her man causes trouble, Keem’s ready to fight or call for backup. There’s also a mention of her needing baby formula, which adds some chaos to the situation—like he’s caught in a messy scene and realizes it might be a trap.

He pulls away from the situation, saying he’s tired of fake stuff and nonsense. Then he brags about wearing a super expensive watch (a Richard Mille), even while eating, showing how casually rich he is. He also throws it back to his younger days, saying he was getting into wild stuff since age 14, even calling out past hookups. Keem likes women who are loud, wild, and super bold—that’s his type. The vibe here is reckless, flashy, and unfiltered.

[Chorus: Playboi Carti & Travis Scott]
The final chorus keeps the same quarterback metaphor, but this time both Carti and Travis join in. It reinforces the energy of staying bold and in control. They’re still throwing b0mbs, taking risks, and standing tall in the spotlight like stars who run the field—confident, unstoppable, and fully in charge.
