Kevin Gates has returned, this time coming through with an ode to exhibitionism in “Amsterdam,” a sensual single dedicated to “Rooftop Luv.” Over a slick guitar riff, Gates wastes little time in painting vivid pictures of his European sexcapades, clearly appreciating the more free-spirited overseas approach. “Naked on the balcony like ooh god damn,” he marvels. “She’s so beautiful on the roof getting slammed, everywhere we go she cause a traffic jam.”
As the verse kicks off, Gates reflects on some of his globetrotting adventures, taking a stopover in Paris to shop and seduce in no particular order. “Hey baby, wait for me, I need you to be my fantasy,” he raps. “Hit from the back, say parlez-vous Francais? She say ‘ou oui oui.'” Clearly, Kevin Gates is a man of culture, understanding the importance of spitting bilingual game. Yet it’s not always time for play — in the second verse, Gates shifts focus, reflecting on his responsibilities as a leader and father.
Kevin Gates – Amsterdam
[Intro]
Invisible guitar
Clear for departure
All above
Turned up now
Hello, how are you?
Marcellus Kevin Gates
Reservation for one
Clear for departure
All well
Yes, Madam
[Chorus]
I just took my new hoe out to Amsterdam
Naked on the balcony like “Oh God Damn”
And she’s so beautiful, we on the roof gettin’ slammed
And everywhere we go she cause a traffic jam
Foreign features, rooftop luv
Huh, we on the rooftop, love
And she’s so beautiful, on the roof gettin’ slammed
And everywhere we go she cause a traffic jam
[Verse 1]
Went to Paris and got fly, then came back to Amsterdam
Send a driver when she land, bae ain’t no need to catch a cab
Back to me, Lui Vee, they say “Bonjour” when they see me
Hey baby, wait for me, I need you to be my fantasy
Hit from the back, say “Parlez-vous français?”
She say “Oh oui, oui”
Shopping bags on Champs-Élysées, I’m rich would you believe
Tatted bad, and you touchin’ on me, anyone would agree
Understand that you loving on me and this is true indeed
[Chorus]
I just took my new hoe out to Amsterdam
Naked on the balcony like “Oh God Damn”
And she’s so beautiful, we on the roof gettin’ slammed
And everywhere we go she cause a traffic jam
Foreign features, rooftop luv
Huh, we on the rooftop, love
And she’s so beautiful, on the roof gettin’ slammed
And everywhere we go she cause a traffic jam
[Verse 2]
Came a long way out the trenches, but we turned up now
Family members in prison depending on me, I can’t pull down
Giving an order, manslaughter, hmm
Taking your head off, across the water, sipping some coffee
Pelican fly with my legs crossed
I’m on a boat, reading a book, reflecting, sipping some red wine
Me and my daughter on FaceTime, she askin’ me why the sun shine
I’m like – Baby I’m in the future, I know you up after it’s bed time
Releasin’ the money, blessin’ the shooter, prayin’ you make a head high
[Chorus]
I just took my new hoe out to Amsterdam
Naked on the balcony like “Oh God Damn”
And she’s so beautiful, we on the roof gettin’ slammed
And everywhere we go she cause a traffic jam
Foreign features, rooftop luv
Huh, we on the rooftop, love
And she’s so beautiful, on the roof gettin’ slammed
And everywhere we go she cause a traffic jam
