SHYNE Lyrics – Travis Scott

SHYNE Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Travis Scott, Bun B & Vybz Kartel]
Travis is talking about a trip to Memphis where he visited a two-story club. Only the bottom level was open, but the energy was wild, with people jumping around in a moshpit. Then Vybz Kartel’s voice jumps in, repping dancehall vibes, and reminding listeners they’re tied to Cactus Jack, Travis’s label. The rest of the intro has some hype ad-libs and slang-heavy lines that sound like a mix of dancehall and street talk. It’s all about claiming power, repping their team, and getting the party started with the chant “Shyne,” like a signal or anthem to turn up.

[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
Travis is flexing his lifestyle here, filled with wild parties, expensive watches, and flashy moves. He starts off saying he lost some close ones during his rise—maybe in the hustle—but also throws in a double meaning with wordplay on “bed rock.” He talks about not staying at fancy places like the Fairmont, but being in the real streets. Then he brags about taking some curvy women from Miami (Dade County) to the Caribbean for fun. The John Deere line adds a quirky image of him playing games while riding a tractor, showing his carefree style. He mentions doing his own stunts like Tom Cruise and partying with the late Gangsta Boo from Three 6 Mafia.

The mood is wild—this isn’t a chill gathering, it’s a lit, high-energy party. Travis shows off his Rollies and Cartiers, but admits he still finds plain watches cooler. He points out that his side is always poppin’, even when things seem calm. There’s a visual of flames, hinting at chaos or potential action. Then he says the DJ keeps the energy going, and that every blunt in the ashtray represents a win over an enemy. He finishes off with s*x appeal and luxury—switching lanes in a fancy gold-winged Mercedes.

[Chorus: Travis Scott & GloRilla]
This part is all about movement and rhythm. It creates a vibe more than anything literal. The “wobbling, wiggling” lines suggest dancing or shaking, especially in a party or club setting. The “swoop it down” and “swing” lines keep that energy going, making the whole thing feel loose, fun, and wild. It’s about letting go and getting into the groove.

[Verse 2: GloRilla & Travis Scott]
GloRilla jumps in loud and unfiltered. She kicks it off by talking about traveling to Canada for a hookup, but makes it wild and over-the-top by comparing the moment to needing an Amber Alert. Then she flexes on her haters, saying while others are lazy, she’s hitting the gym early in the morning and working hard on her grind. She claps back at people who downplay her hustle and says she’s got serious value—charging big money for her verses.

She brags about her success with flashy diamonds and a real “gangsta” attitude, saying others just rhyme words but don’t bring real heat. She admits things aren’t perfect—some of her enemies are gone, and even her friends lie. There’s a funny, raw line where she remembers being so caught up during s*x, she forgot she was driving—just showing how wild her life can get. Then she shuts down any drama about her past flings, saying it’s not worth talking about. Finally, she drops a funny regret: not being old enough to hook up with Matthew McConaughey back in the day. It’s all bold, loud, and confident.

[Chorus: Travis Scott, Travis Scott & GloRilla]
The chorus returns with the same dance-heavy energy. It paints a picture of people moving, twerking, swaying to the beat, and letting the music take over. There’s not much to overthink—just pure vibes. The repetition makes it catchy and perfect for hyping up a crowd or keeping the party going strong.
