This song samples the hit song “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley. It is considered a ‘meme song’ and is used to troll people online. Successfully getting another person to click a link to the iconic music video is considered a rickroll and Yung Gravy probably made this song with that in mind, knowing that he is considered a ‘meme artist’.
The beat is based off of Never Gonna Give You Up’s original tune with some more modern updates to the song making it unique. It also includes Rick Astley himself singing the iconic chorus.
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Additionally, Yung Gravy has sampled iconic songs plenty in the past.
Lyrically, the song finds him making casual sexual references toward older women (more specifically ‘your mom’) and flexing his money earned off of his rapping career.
This song was first revealed at a concert, then published on his Instagram feed on 19th December 2021. In the same post, Yung Gravy also announced a new album.

[Intro: Yung Gravy & Rick Astley]
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
I’ll never let you down, baby
(It’s really Yung Gravy)
Uh, ayy
[Verse 1]
With your baby mama at the crib, I blow her back out
Shawty Filipino and she call me Manny Pacquiao
Alley Oop without the hoop, they call me Jerry Stackhouse
Dazin’ out in public, but your mama made me snap out
‘Fore I get the dough, I got the morning routine
Wake up bright and early to some brand new cream
Floss three times, baby, I’m so clean
Gravy got cheese, now, that’s poutine (Woah, baby)
Gravy coming hot like I’m hoppin’ off the griddle
Pull up on the kid if you’re tryna get belittled
All the mamas love me, now I think I’m peanut brittle
Flex the rainbow, bag it like some Skittles
[Pre-Chorus]
Gravy, why you out of pocket? (Out of pocket)
Stop it (No, no)
I’m gettin’ money, Gravy Crockett
Drop it
[Chorus]
Never take an L no more
Never take a damn thing slow
All I know is chase this dough and get money (Get the money, get the money)
Never gonna take no loss
Never gonna lose my sauce
All I know is chase this (Woah), and get money (Gettin’ money, gettin’ money, gettin’ money)
[Interlude]
Get money
Probably into the early morning
Or get money
Yeah, I live the fast life (Woah)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, you know I live the fast life
I don’t got a type, baby, I’m the cash type
Still gettin’ dividends from a past life
I get your daddy’s net worth on a bad night
‘Cause I act right
Yeah, I’m rockin’ Rick, clappin’ Astleys like the 80s
Never give it up until the reaper come and slay me
Pull up with a Zelda and a Peach and a Daisy
I be dirty dancin’, now they yellin’ “Gravy Swayze”
[Bridge]
Damn, Gravy, you so vicious (Ooh)
You so clean and so delicious (So delicious)
How come you ain’t got no missus?
Count that paper, count the riches
[Chorus]
Never take an L no more
Never take a damn thing slow
All I know is chase this dough and get money (Get the money, get the money)
Never gonna take no loss
Never gonna lose my sauce
All I know is chase this (Woah), and get money (Gettin’ money, gettin’ money, gettin’ money)
[Outro]
Get money
Get money, Gravy gettin’ money
Or get money, woah
Get money
Get money, Gravy gettin’ money
Or get money, woah
(Disco weapon)
