Frank Dukes

“**Congratulations**" est la douzième musique de la tracklist du premier album studio de Post Malone, "Stoney". Cette musique est sortie le 4 novembre 2016 dans l'album "Stoney" et a ensuite été republiée le 31 janvier 2017 par Republic Records en tant que cinquième single de l'album. C'est la première collaboration entre Post et le rappeur Quavo précédent le titre "Notice Me" en featuring avec Post présent sur l'album "Culture 2" du groupe Migos (composé de Quavo, Takeoff et Offset). “**Congratulations**" a été certifié disque de diamant aux USA et disque d'or et de platine dans beaucoup d'autres pays. Aux États-Unis, "Congratulations" atteint la huitième place du classement Billboard Hot 100, devenant le premier single de Quavo en dehors du groupe Migos et le premier single de Post Malone à se classer dans le top dix. Son titre "White Iverson" avait atteint lui la quatorzième place du classement. En octobre 2019, la RIAA accorde la certification diamant à la chanson après que plus de dix millions d'unités aient été vendues. Le clip vidéo de “Congratulations" a été publié le 23 janvier 2017 et possède à ce jour près de 1 milliard et 280 millions de vues. Le 16 juin 2017 sort le remix officiel de "Congratulations" en featuring avec le rappeur Future. Dans cette musique Post et Quavo parle de leur succès et du fait qu'avant d'être célèbre personne ne croyait en eux et maintenant qu'ils ont réussi ces gens reviennent en leurs disant félicitation. Cette chanson a été produite par Louis Bell, Metro Boomin et Frank Dukes.

My momma called, seen you on TV, son

I dreamed it all ever since I was young

People hatin', say we changed and look, we made it (Uh, uh)

Yeah, we made it (Uh, uh, uh)

[Couplet 1: Post Malone]

They was never friendly, yeah

Everyone countin' on me, drop the ball, yuh (Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)

Everything custom like I'm at the border, yeah, yeah

If you fuck with winning, put your lighters to the sky

How could I make cents when I got millions on my mind?

Coming with that bullshit, I just put it to the side

Balling since a baby, they could see it in my eyes

[Refrain: Post Malone & *Quavo*]

My momma called, seen you on TV, son

Now I can scream that we made it (We made it!)

Now everywhere, everywhere I go, they say 'gratulation (Ooh)

Young ni\*\*a, young ni\*\*a, graduation (Yeah)

I pick up the rock and I ball, baby (Ball)

I'm looking for someone to call, baby (Brr)

But right now, I got a situation (Ayy)

Never old Ben-Ben Franklins (Cash)
