River Video (MV)




"River" is a song by American hip hop superduo ¥$ (composed of American rapper Kanye West and American singer Ty Dolla Sign) and fellow American rapper Young Thug. It was released through West's YZY brand as the eleventh track from the superduo's second collaborative album, Vultures 2, on August 3, 2024.

The song features additional vocals from American singer Charlie Wilson and the Curva Nord Milano ultras. It was released through YZY on August 3, 2024.

The song was written and produced by West himself alongside Pi'erre Bourne, AyoAA, Digital Nas, London on da Track and The Legendary Traxster; the five of them wrote it alongside Ty Dolla Sign and Young Thug.

In its lyrics, "River" makes several references to other public figures. Young Thug opens with a verse that emphasizes luxury. He raps about affording luxury goods for women, showing off expensive watches like the Audemars Piguet, and maintaining a lifestyle characterized by high-end fashion and extravagant spending.

The chorus, performed by Kanye West, pleas for freedom for incarcerated individuals. West repeatedly chants, "Too much money to be in the streets / Too much money to spend all on me / Too much hate and not enough love / Free Larry, free Young Thug." West has advocated for Larry Hoover's release from prison for over a decade. On May 9, 2022, Thug was arrested in Atlanta on gang-related charges. On West's third verse, he advocates for the release of Demetrius Flenory as well.

The outro of the song is an extract of American singer Leon Bridges' track "River", from his 2015 album Coming Home.

[Young Thug]
Big-booty bitch, I know who paid for it, yeah (Big-booty bitch, I know who paid for it)
Big-booty bitch, I know who paid for it (Big-booty bitch, I know who paid for it)
Rock the Audemars Piguet, you ain't on no sad shit (Rock the Audemars Piguet, rock the Audemars Piguet)
If you say your grace, I'll get your ass fixed, yeah
Diamonds, they jump out a Rolls (Rolls)
Stay way too hot, want some froze (Yeah)
When I'm rockin' drug addict clothes, yeah, huh
Peanut butter guts from the inside
We goin' for a bite up to hibachis
Molly came white like a Mentos, Mentos
I don't do credit, I don't do credit
Shut up, bitch, shine my necklace (Shut up)
Playin' with the blocks like Tetris (Yeah)
Over onе-fifty got my dentures (My denturеs)
Are you tyin' ties with all your women? (Are you tyin' ties with all your)
Keep your dogs strapped down, they be reckless (Yeah, yeah)
Audemars bust down and it's speckless (Oh, yeah)
No complainin' that they calling me the bestest (Yeah)
Presi' cut, bust down bro necklace (Bust down)
I ain't tellin' no reason to disguise it (Woah)
I done seen it and turned my eyes (On God)
Tell your main ho a thousand lies (Hah)
Told my main ho the truth, that's on slime (On God)
I'm a Leo, I got nine lives (Huh)
Bounty hunters when we come for your life (Woo)
If you wan' see me succeed (What?)
Gotta tell me everything that I need (Need)
Malcolm X, told the guys how to read (And what?)
Like it dirty, but I'm havin' cheese (Woo)
I got a bitch in Belize (I got a bitch in Belize)
Might be pregnant and this ain't a tease (Might be pregnant and this ain't a tease)
I was tellin' my slime not to leave (I was tellin' my slime not to leave)
Too much money to be in the streets, yeah (Let's go)

Too much money to be in the streets
Too much money to spend all on me
Too much hate and not enough love
Free Larry, free Young Thug

[Kanye West]
Back on road, go get in that mode (Mode)
Shit that they been on (On), low vibrational
I'm on vibranium, claws, they titanium
You know we is alien, land at SoFi stadium
I feel like Usain or somethin', I been on a crazy run
If you got the cake and buns, you gon' have to save me some
This one here for YSL, I ain't talkin' Saint Laurent
Too ahead, we way upfront
Throw my name, y'all play too much
Been this way, I'm way too up

While we at it, free Meech
I'm the owner, this shit not a lease
I go ghost and I get out of reach
'Cause I gotta protect my peace
They say to trust the process
But all I trust is me
'Cause all I trust is
I gotta go tell 'em I said, "God bless"
Holy water, take me to the river
Holy Father, forgive me for my sins
Holy water, holy water, holy water
Free all my friends, protect my sons, protect my daughters

[Ty Dolla $ign, Charlie Wilson, The Inter Milan Ultras & Leon Bridges]
Woah
Take me to your river
I wanna go (Now)
But please let me know
Take me to your river
I wanna go (Now)
But please let me know
Take me to your river
