Lil Uzi Vert's latest charting single interpolates the memorable hook of The Backstreet Boys' No. 6 Billboard Hot 100 hit "I Want It That Way" from 1999. Twenty-one years later, "That Way" makes its way to No. 21 on the chart (dated March 14).
"That Way" is the second single from Lil Uzi's highly anticipated sophomore album Eternal Atake, which finally arrived last Friday.
Check out the lyrics below.
I want it that way
I want it that way
I want it that way
I want it that way
But I don't wanna go out bad, wanna go out sad, wanna go out that way (no)
I'm with the winnin' team, they make sure I'm not in last place (let's go)
If I wake up, don't make no money, that's a sad day (whoa)
Twenty-five hundred on my shirt what the tag say (let's go)
I want it that way
I want it that way
I want it that way, whoa
I want it that way
Whoa, she from Atlanta, she went to Cascade, ay (let's get it)
She ride the D like she's tryna drag race (whoa)
Don't slow me right down, I like it fast-paced, ay
That is enough about that girl, everyone know it is my world
And he dropped an album, thought it was trash day (yeah, whoa)
I'm on my own, not talkin' masturbate, yeah (ew)
She gave me dome 'til I graduate, whoa
I'ma grab a Bentley, Mean might go and grab a Wraith, yeah
I had to snap back into reality and go grab a fitted (fitted)
My jeans, yeah, they fitted (woo)
But Lil Uzi, he is so far from the timid (let's go)
The reason I'm rich
'Cause I had to go and just fix my percentage (let's go)
You know that I'm winnin'
My white girl got black card and it got no limit (woo)
I don't wanna go out bad, don't wanna go out sad, not that way (yeah)
I'm with the winnin' team, they make sure I'm not in last place (yes)
If I wake up, don't make no money, that's a sad day (whoa)
Twenty-five hundred for my shirt what the tag say (yeah)
And I want it that way
I want it that way
I want it that way, whoa
I want it that way
When I'm in DC, make the h--s go-go (go)
Yes, I'm slimy like a snail, but I'm no slowpoke
Only reason I didn't kick her out 'cause she gon' deepthroat (yeah)
Hit it no protection, injection, yeah, this sh-- is lethal (go)
They laugh at me because I'm emo
I killed my girlfriend, that's why I'm single (f--- her)
Can't call 911 'cause I'm in Reno (yeah)
Gave away my thumbs and I stood three toes (let's go, let's go)
Diamonds hittin', bling, bling (let's go)
Make the chopper sing, sing (let's go, let's go, let's go)
He a killer (what?), same thing (same thing)
Eyes low, same as me (yeah)
I don't wanna go out bad, don't wanna go out sad, not that way
I'm with the winnin' team, they make sure I'm not in last place (yes)
If I wake up, don't make no money, that's a sad day (why? Whoa)
Twenty-five hundred for my shirt what the tag say (yeah)
And I want it that way
I want it that way
I want it that way, whoa
I want it that way
I want it that way
I want it that way
I want it that way
I want it that way
