Travis Scott Stargazing
Ah yes, 2018. While it was only two years ago, recent events make it seem like an eternity has passed. Regardless, there were plenty of projects from that year that make hip-hop fans reflect with fond memories. One of the albums that evokes those feelings is none other than Astroworld by Travis Scott. There was a lot of hype going into this record and Scott didn’t disappoint as he came through with an album, that as the name would suggest, takes you through a sonic journey reminiscent of the adrenaline-fueled fear one feels on a roller coaster. Today, his magnum opus turns two years old.
On Astroworld’s opener, “Stargazing,” Scott set the tone for his album as he came through with an auto-tuned laced opening in which he is clearly in a drugged-out daze, spacing out on the wonder of the universe. At the end of this trip, we get the sounds of creeky rails that immediately make you think of a roller coaster that is about to come apart and crash. Once the second beat drops, that’s exactly what happens as Travis breaks out of his stupor and provides one of the best verses of his career with some of his most clever lyrics. For many, it was the first time they had heard Travis rap in such a focused and succinct fashion.
While beat switches have always been a large part of the Travis Scott ethos, “Stargazing” was simply different as it created one of the greatest contrasts in terms of Scott’s content. In the blink of an eye, Travis juxtaposes the feelings of an artist on cloud nine, meandering about before entering a hyper-focused state.

[Part I]
[Chorus]
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, got me stargazin’ (Yeah)
Sippin’ on purp, feelin’ like the Barre Baby (It’s lit)
Whatever I downed, it got me goin’ crazy (Yah)
Psychedelics got me goin’ crazy (Alright)
[Post-Chorus]
I was hot as hell out in the heat (Yeah, yeah)
Then a storm came in and saved my life
Head up to the sky, down on my knees (Straight up)
Out of nowhere, you came here to save the night
In the nighttime (Woo, yeah)
[Verse 1]
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, got me stargazin’ (Roll)
Psychedelics got me goin’ crazy (Oh no)
Niggas femalin’, they excellin’ (Yeah)

We propellin’, up top with Ellen, uh (With the choppers)
Kill the jealous with propane repellent
Got me goin’ crazy (It’s lit)
On tour, we’ll tell ’em, we brought the section (Gang)
They keep on callin’ up, it’s getting hectic (Brrt)

So we cut the plug, he’s interjected (Got me goin’ crazy)
[Chorus]
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, got me stargazin’ (Yeah)
Sippin’ on purp, feelin’ like the Barre Baby (It’s lit)
Whatever I downed, it got me goin’ crazy (Yah)
Psychedelics got me goin’ crazy (Alright)
[Post-Chorus]
I was hot as hell out in the heat (Yeah, yeah)
Then the storm came in and saved my life
Head up to the sky, down on my knees (Straight up)
Out of nowhere, you came here to save the night
In the nighttime (Woo, yeah)

Got me goin’ crazy
[Part II]
[Verse 2]
Okay, I been up for some days, I ain’t got time to lay
Just to drown out all these thoughts, I tried all kind of things
If I take you to my past you will be traumatized
Got a thousand kids outside that’s tryna come alive
’99, took AstroWorld, it had to relocate
Told the dawgs I’d bring it back, it was a seal of faith
Before no car notes, baby girl, she played the tourist guide
Got the keys into my city, now she know the rides
Got new money, got new problems, got new enemies
When you make it to the top, that’s the amenities
Packin’ out Toyota like I’m in the league
And it ain’t a mosh pit if ain’t no injuries
I got ’em stage divin’ out the nosebleeds
(Alright, alright, alright)
And she hit that booger sugar ’til her nose bleed
(Alright, alright, alright)
Bounce that shit forever, she on both knees
She was talkin’ ’bout forever, got a whole week
(Alright, alright, alright)
Plus she know my baby mama is a trophy
She be throwing up them B’s, feel like we both bleed
She keep my dick jumpin’ up, feel like I’m Moby
I’m way too gold for this beef, feel like I’m Kobe, yeah
This right here is astronomical
I see you picked up all my ways, I feel responsible
They tryna say that all my problems is improbable
They keep itching at my spirit, I’m diabolical
Ya feel me?
