Lyrics

Drop

(ayy) (lì xì!)

Hook

Red envelope! (ayy!) Red envelope! (ayy!)

Whole family eatin', that's the only goal

Red envelope! (ayy!) Red envelope! (ayy!)

Used to get a five, now I hand out the roll

Every little cousin gettin' paid this week

Verse 1

Tết at auntie's, forty people in a two-bed

Shoes at the door like a Foot Locker, I said (facts)

Uncles on the floor with the cards and the Heineken

Yellin' 'bout a hand from nineteen ninety-ten

Aunties in the kitchen and they judgin' everybody

"Why you so skinny? Why no wife? Why that hobby?" (why?)

Used to line up with the kids, two hands, say the phrase

Get a crisp five dollars, that'd last me seven days

This year I'm the one with the stack in the red

Hundred in each, watch the little ones lose they head

Hook

Red envelope! (ayy!) Red envelope! (ayy!)

Whole family eatin', that's the only goal

Red envelope! (ayy!) Red envelope! (ayy!)

Used to get a five, now I hand out the roll

Verse 2

Auntie asked what I do, I said "music," she said "no"

"Doctor or the pharmacy." I said "auntie, watch the show" (watch)

Pulled up the account, she put her glasses on her nose

Looked at me. Looked at it. "...You still need better clothes."

Lion dance outside and the firecrackers pop

Grandma in the wheelchair and she smilin', she won't stop

She seen a war, a boat, a camp, a strip mall, and a lease

Now she see her grandson handin' out the peace

That's the flex. Not the car. Not the chain I don't wear.

It's a loud little house and everybody's there.

Bridge

Two hands!

Say it right!

(CHÚC MỪNG NĂM MỚI!)

Final Hook

Red envelope! (ayy!) Red envelope! (ayy!)

Whole family eatin', that's the only goal

Red envelope! (ayy!) Red envelope! (ayy!)

Used to get a five, now I hand out the roll

Next year, double. Tell the kids I said so.

East Side San Jose. Learned money from the uncles playing cards behind the pho spot on Story Road, learned engines on a garage floor, learned silence from both. Cold, low, unhurried. He gets quieter right before he strikes.
