Hotel Lobby (Unc & Phew) by Quavo & Offset (2024)

(M-M-M-Murda)

Let's get it
Hop off a sixteen passenger
This a G5, no, this not a Challenger (big one)
I keep some members with me, and the freaks get coach seats
They some cannibals (eaters)
They like to get geeked

Drink a whole bottle, wake up and repeat (damn)
She took a little shh, mixed it with the (chill out)
Now she say she seein' 3D (wow)
I go in the jungle and ain't got a coat
I bet I come out with a mink (I bet I)
Do this sh*t for the fam
'Cause this sh*t bigger than me (big)
Color stones in my infinity link
And in the factory, masterpiece (factory)
I call him twin 'cause that be my brother
We got the same Rollie, he matchin' me
(Nah, for real)

Water on me like the sauna (wet)
Some karats, some pointers (woo)
All these commas, I won't fumble (fumble)
Migo gunners out the jungle (Migo)
Buy it all, f*ck a fronter (f*ck nigg*)
Cake on, me no funnel (woo, cash)
Drop top feelin' like Stunna (ha, drop top)
Catch these plays, no runner (we gone)
Chrome Heart wallet, smoke my pilot
Take three vibes to the tropics (tropics)
nigg* wasn't sh*t (sh*t)
I was outside just servin' narcotics (narcotics, woo)
Pass me that stick
nigg* make one wrong move, just pop him (pop him, brrt)
Lanvin on bro with the ho flooded out in the hotel lobby (flooded, it's crowded)

Diamonds be dancin' like Bobby (they dancin')
Don't touch it, this Glocky be co*cky (don't touch it)
Shroom, and G6 departed (we geekin')
Bitches gon' trend, I'm the topic (keep trendin')
The way I pull up, I'ma pop it
And none of these nigg*s gon' stop me (pull up, gone)
Put that sh*t on, get a cup for the drip
I'm a motherf*ckin' faucet
Keep low, keep stackin', your bank'll get bigger (go)
Never will I throw some shade on no nigg* (on Take')
Lil' nigg*, don't play with these nigg*s (no)
I see the big picture, we up on these nigg*s (uh)
The Huncho, the one, you gon' call on me, nigg* ('Cho)
I got your back, you can fall on me, nigg* (fall)
When I get up, we gon' ball on these nigg*s (ball)
f*ckin' sh*t up 'cause we beat out the system (f*ck the system)

Water on me like the sauna (wet)
Some karats, some pointers (woo)
All these commas, I won't fumble (fumble)
Migo gunners out the jungle (Migo)
Buy it all, f*ck a fronter (f*ck nigg*)
Cake on me, no funnel (woo, cash)
Drop top feelin' like Stunna (ha, drop top)
Catch these plays, no runner (we gone)
Chrome Heart wallet, smoke my pilot
Take three vibes to the tropics (go)
nigg* wasn't sh*t (sh*t)
I was outside just servin' narcotics (narcotics, woo)
Pass me that stick

nigg* make one wrong move, just pop him (pop him, brrt)
Lanvin on bro with the ho flooded out in the hotel lobby (flooded)

In “Hotel Lobby,” Quavo and Takeoff explore their extravagant lifestyle, backed by a Murda Beatz production. The song opens with Quavo boasting about his G5 private jet being superior to a Challenger while on his way to his destination with both members, as well as a group of unnamed women or “freaks." Unlike other rappers, he claims to be able to hook up his friends with a first-class flight, while still indulging in his lavish lifestyle with several diamond chains and rings. He calls his brother, who matches his Rollie watch. Takeoff enters with his own set of boasts, mentioning how he and his crew are prone to buying out expensive locations with a full-on cake, no funnel necessary. He also talks about his love for high-octane experiences, such as the adrenaline rush of chasing his competition and getting into fights. The song ends with both artists divulging details for a potential confrontation and embracing their status as influencers in the rap game.

One of the notable things about "Hotel Lobby" was its spontaneous release. Shortly after Quavo and Takeoff previewed snippets of the song on Instagram, it was uploaded onto YouTube without any prior announcements or promotions.

The track was produced by Murda Beatz, who is largely responsible for the success of the trio's biggest hit song to date, "Bad and Boujee."

The lyrics make several references to drug use and purchasing expensive items, two common themes in the Migos' music.

In a Genius interview, Takeoff revealed that he wrote his verse on the song first and sent it to Quavo.

Both members spent a lot of time performing the song together during their 2018 tour.

Quavo mentions the “G5” multiple times, a reference to the Gulfstream G500, one of the most popular private jets on the market.

The duo shows off their vocal and lyrical abilities with several extended metaphors and witty wordplay.

Many fans were disappointed that Offset, the third member of Migos, was not featured on the track.

The song became a popular meme on social media, with users jokingly saying they “play(ed) Hotel Lobby for the girls” or to impress their friends.

According to Songfacts, the song was inspired by a real-life situation where Quavo, Takeoff, and fellow rap group Rae Sremmurd caused chaos and destruction at a famous Miami hotel lobby during a music festival.

Chords: The chords are not available as the song is mostly electronic, sampling multiple beats and sounds.
