Background and Release
«The CMT Awards asked me, 'Do you want to be a part of our intro?' and one of the first things that came to my mind was that I really, really want some excuse to be able to rap and go to the mall and go to those kiosk things and go buy bling and experience rapping in front of a car with spinners for the first time. T-Pain agreed to it and flew to Nashville and we were in a sweltering hot, 95-degree parking garage for an entire day shooting — I will never, ever forget that memory.»
“Thug Story” is an iconic song in the Swiftie fandom, especially for fans who already followed Taylor in 2009.
Lyrics
[Intro]
Hey Hey, T-Swizzle [T-Swizzle]
And T-Pizzle [T-Pizzle]
[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
I’m like 8 foot 4
Blond hair to the floor
You shorties never thought I dreamed about rapping hardcore
No I ain’t got a gun
No I never really been in a club
Still live with my parents but I’m still a thug
I’m so gangster you can find me baking cookies at night
You out clubbing but I just made caramel delight
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & T-Pain]
T-Swift and T-Pain rapping on the same track
It’s a thug story, tell me can you handle that?
[Verse 2: Taylor Swift & T-Pain]
I had a dream last night
I had high top Nikes
I had diamonds in my mouth
And Diamonds on my mic
By the time I woke I was singing (I’m on a boat, whoa oh)
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & T-Pain]
Cause I’m a singer turned rapper (Shorty I’m a make ya)
Straight to the top, yo (Shorty I’m a take ya)
You can call me T-Sweezy
Now I’m a rap star (Hey, It’s a thug story, now tell ’em who you are)
Singer turned gangster (You don’t want to fight me)
Straight to the top (In my extra small white tee)
T-Swift and T-Pain all up on the same track
It’s a thug story now can you get with that?
[Bridge: Taylor Swift & T-Pain]
What, what, I knit sweaters, yo!
What, What, Don’t test me (Beep)
[Outro: Taylor Swift & T-Pain]
Hey, Hold on, hold on
I didn’t even say anything I- (What?)
I said Yo (yup)
You guys bleeped me and I didn’t even say anything
I didn’t swear (She didn’t even swear)
Hello? Ugh!
