“HEAT CHECK” lyrics

Uh, yeah… nine-two-eight
Heat check (heat check!), heat check (heat check!)
Hundred and fifteen and we ain't broke a sweat
Heat check (heat check!), heat check (heat check!)

Sun came up, we already on
Every room I walk in, they turn the AC on
Say what you want, we don't cool off
Whole city on my back and I never set it down
Where you from? (Desert!) Where you been? (Grindin'!)
Heat check (heat check!), heat check (heat check!)
Stand up for the town when the lights come on
Heat check (heat check!), heat check (heat check!)

Uh, windows down on the 8 at noon
Dashboard say one-seventeen, that's a normal June
Palm trees leaning like they heard the news
Pull up quiet, let the engine do the talking too
Came from nothing but the dirt and the dust
Now the only dust around me is the dust they eat from us
Mama told me, "Let 'em talk, just move"
Now the same ones talking wanna ride in the coupe
Harare roots, desert raised, that's a different breed
Every late night stacking what the family need
I don't chase, I set the pace, they just follow the heat
Mirage on the road — that's them, not me

Sun came up, we already on
Every room I walk in, they turn the AC on
Say what you want, we don't cool off
Whole city on my back and I never set it down
Where you from? (Desert!) Where you been? (Grindin'!)
Heat check (heat check!), heat check (heat check!)
Stand up for the town when the lights come on
Heat check (heat check!), heat check (heat check!)

Big bills folded like a desert map
Every stop I ever made, made it worth the trip back
Chain cold, sun hot, both of 'em glow
Ice hit the light like the Colorado
They said small town, small dreams, small checks
Now I'm on the big screen with the town on my chest
Crew stay solid, whole team pressed
Run it up, count it once, then we run it up again
No off switch (nah), no cooldown (nah)
Hottest in the county — nah, the hottest in the country now

Everybody from the nine-two-eight
Put your hands where the sun at — wave!
If it's too hot, then step away
'Cause we don't cool off… no, we don't cool off
Where you from? (Desert!) Where you been? (Grindin'!)
Where you from? (DESERT!) Where you been? (GRINDIN'!)
Where you from? (Desert!) Where you been? (Grindin'!)
Where you from? (DESERT!) Where you been? (GRINDIN'!)

Sun came up, we already on
Every room I walk in, they turn the AC on
Say what you want, we don't cool off
Whole city on my back and I never set it down
Where you from? (Desert!) Where you been? (Grindin'!)
Heat check (heat check!), heat check (heat check!)
Stand up for the town when the lights come on
Heat check (heat check!), heat check (heat check!)

Heat check… nine-two-eight… we don't cool off
