Thot 97

"**Thot 97**" is a song by Lupe Fiasco, released on January 31, 2014, to his SoundCloud account. Created as a freestyle over the instrumental of Que's "OG Bobby Johnson", he revealed that he recorded it the same day when collaborating with Dee-1 on a different song.

The title references to the New York radio station, Hot 97, and connects it to the slang "thot", meaning a person who desires sex ("That Hoe Over There"). Despite the negative connotation, it is likely Fiasco is trolling, as he's good friends with the radio host Ebro Darden ('Feelin' like a boss, like Ebro').

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro]

DROGAS, yeah

THOT 97

THOT 97, n\*\*\*a

[Verse]

Masterpiece

Threaten these n\*\*\*as like the bad police

This the word of God from the pastor cheeks

And you can take a bath in the wrath of leaks, surf, baptize

Give a n\*\*\*a my rap ties, metaphor, reservoir dog got cat lives

You can flip a coin, heads or tails, my n\*\*\*a, bet it lands on the flat side

Always be a winner

You can be a Mac, n\*\*\*a, I'mma be a printer

You can be a fat n\*\*\*a, I'mma be a sprinter

Top of the world, n\*\*\*a, you can ask Kenna

But trees got them paper n\*\*\*a, timber

Timber timber timber

Timber timber timber

You gotta have principles, Skinner, Skinner

Or I'mma be the fat n\*\*\*a, treat the finish line like a dinner time

And put on for my city like a Windy City wintertime

For as long as a one n\*\*\*a wanna feel a really pretty titty line, woo!

Now let's say I get carjacked

N\*\*\*as like, "That's your new shit? Got that from who, shit? That look like Lu shit"

Then they bring the car back like it's Enterprise

Turnt when I was 18, had to start attackin' when I was 25

N\*\*\*a had the 9 at 14, I had the super V when I was 29

And I keep 30 in the 34, and I can hit the 10 like 20 times

N\*\*\*a had the fifties by the tubes, and you can count to 10 'bout 20 times!

THOT 97, THOT 97

That's a hundred-round clip and I shot 97

And I shot 90 weapons, what it doin'?

THOT 97, hundred in the chain and the watch 97

And I keep it hunnid like three more

And I'm feelin' like a boss, like Ebro

THOT 97, the coupe brand new but the drop from '97

I treat your top 10 like my bottom 97

Man I was in the trap house, n\*\*\*a, watchin' 9-11

Real shit, ain't see the first one hit, but I watched 'em fly the second

Beats get slayed, like a n\*\*\*a flyin' presents

Who put the flyest tapes in your fireplace?

I'mma tell you now, n\*\*\*a, I ain't even tryna wait

N\*\*\*a 'fore you waste my time, I'mma tell you right now

Fahrenheit had n\*\*\*as on the fire 'scapes, woo!

Superman, Batman, Space Ghost, Mighty Mouse, n\*\*\*a all kinda capes

Tetsuo Season drop when it drop, n\*\*\*a I don't even know the date

THOT 97, THOT 97

That's a hundred-round clip and I shot 97

It's a hundred in the chain and the watch 97, what we doin'?

THOT 97, THOT 97

And I keep it hunnid like three more

Feelin' like a boss, like Ebro
