We present to you "The Scotts" by Travis Scott and Kid Cudi, a track that is aching to reach the No. 1 spot on the charts.

Quotable Lyrics

We see the hype outside, right from the house (Uh)
Took it straight from outside (Yeah), straight to the couch
We put the mic outside (Yeah, ah), air that sh*t out (Mm)
You lettin' the Scotts outside (Yeah), we runnin' the scouts (Mm)
Ain't no controllin' the game (Yeah, yeah), they never leave (Mm)
I got tats over my veins (Yeah), 'cause that what I bleed (Mm)
