The wave of momentum Fivio Foreign is riding right now is not easy to replicate. The second half of 2021 has been very kind to him, as his “Off the Grid” feature and Lil Tjay and Kay Flock collaboration have both landed hit Billboard Hot 100 listings.
Now, Fivio is back to paving his own way, dropping “Squeeze (Freestyle)” exclusively on YouTube Friday (Nov. 12).
Over the Brooklyn drill production that soundtracked his rise to prominence, Fivio sounds hungrier than ever. “Squeeze” only lasts around two minutes long, but he makes his presence felt.
Fivio opens the song with a statement in his first few bars, saying even if you’re acquainted with him, you don’t get any friendly discounts: “N***a, why would I give you a free verse, when it’s fifteen-hundred for my t-shirt?”
Throughout the track, his allusions to his tall stature and alcohol getting him going have him sounding like a lyrical giants. If his assertion that this is a freestyle is true, “Squeeze” is an impressive feat of topical focus and charisma.

[Intro]
Yeah (Ayo AA)
[Verse 1]
I was told if you fight, you swing first
I was told if you shoot, you squeeze first
Nigga, why would I give you a free verse
When it’s fifteen-hundred for my t-shirt?
They remember me broke on the streets hurt
That mean you better give me what I deserve
If I catch him, I’m makin’ him bleed first
If I’m missin’, I’m hittin’ in reverse
And they always wanna tell me I’m movin’ funny
If you wasn’t my man, it’d be worse
Like, imagine I’d make you say “Please” first
Like, imagine I’d laugh and say “He’s hurt”
Like, imagine I’m livin’ and rappin’ and talkin’ and chattin’
And seein’ them fall back
When I met him in person, he’s all cap
When he met me, I’m ready for combat
When I met her, she look like a baddie and move like a baddie
She thought she was all that
When I fuck, she ain’t gettin’ a call back
They be fallin’ in love with my tall ass
If you owe me, you pay me in all cash
When I see him, it’s gettin’ me more mad
Wanna kill him, so don’t get the bork ass
When I run in your crib, it’s a door dash
[Chorus]
Yeah, huh, look, huh, I been a mess
I hear them hatin’ and talkin’ and whisperin’ and washin’
And mumblin’ under they breath
Huh (Huh), yeah, look, hm, yeah, they be obsessed
They keep on wonderin’ how I keep winnin’
But they already know that I’m one of the best
[Verse 2]
He already know he gettin’ one in his chest
He already know that it’s none of me left
Them niggas say I can’t do it, they counted me losin’
But they never come with a bet
Them niggas say they get money
They say they be workin’, but they never thumb through a check
Boy when you come to me, come with respect
I’m not gon’ accept nothin’ less
Yeah, nigga, go put your money where your mouth is
Nigga, I put my money where my clout is
I put my gun where my spouse live
And I’m goin’ dummy every outfit
You either love me or leave me alone
Costa Migo help me get in the zone
Nigga still trappin’ and flippin’ the phones
Nigga still clappin’ and grippin’ the chrome, huh
[Chorus]
Yeah, huh, look, huh, I been a mess
I hear them hatin’ and talkin’ and whisperin’ and washin’
And mumblin’ under they breath
Huh (Huh), yeah, look, hm, yeah, they be obsessed
They keep on wonderin’ how I keep winnin’
But they already know that I’m one of the best
