21 Savage Proves He Doesn't Miss On Young Thug's "Want Me Dead": Stream

August 2024 ยท 3 minute read

21 Savage's discography is impressive enough on its own, but when the Atlanta-based artist jumps on a feature, you can almost always guarantee he'll end up bodying the original artist. Some of his most popular joint efforts in recent memory include "Jimmy Cooks" with Drake, along with the entirety of their Her Loss album. He was also a standout on Metro Boomin's HEROES & VILLAINS project, giving us bars on bars alongside The Weeknd on "Creepin'."

For his latest release, the SAVAGE MODE rapper has once again joined forces with Young Thug, showing out on two separate tracks from the YSL leader's BUSINESS IS BUSINESS album. In the first half, we hear him team up with Travis Scott and Yak Gotti for Thugger's "Wit Da Racks." Later on, he returns once again, this time on "Want Me Dead" as the lone guest appearance.

Young Thug and 21 Savage Reunite on "Want Me Dead"

"Came from the bottom and I made it to the other side, nah, I ain't use no ferry / Opps be smokin' on ni**as they ain't step on, them ni**as funny, Jim Carrey," Savage cleverly rhymes halfway through his verse. "Y'all ni**as p*ssy, it's all on your breath / Go against me, that s**t bad for your health," the 30-year-old reminds listeners as his turn on the mic comes to an end.

Quotable Lyrics:

We in the middle of summer, but ni**a, we steppin', this s**t feel like February
Yellow diamonds, they canary
Came from the bottom and I made it to the other side, nah, I ain't use no ferry
Opps be smokin' on ni**as they ain't step on, them ni**as funny, Jim Carrey
