Step into the shadows with “Ninja,” the explosive opener to Young Thug‘s long-awaited fourth studio album UY SCUTI, out through YSL Records, Atlantic, and 300 Entertainment. Dropping today on September 26, 2025, this 18-track cosmic odyssey marks Thug’s first full project since his October 2024 release from prison after the high-profile RICO trial, and it’s loaded with the raw introspection and trap innovation that redefined Atlanta’s sound. Named after the universe’s largest known star, UY SCUTI mirrors Thug’s own massive presence in hip-hop, pulling inspiration from “fucking space” as he put it in a recent GQ interview, blending slurred flows, Auto-Tune wizardry, and beats from producers like Metro Boomin and Taurus that hit like interstellar waves.
As the midnight edition’s lead cut, “Ninja” sets a stealthy tone with Thug gliding over hazy synths and pounding 808s, dropping lines that weave personal triumphs over legal battles with that signature playful menace – think quick-strike bars about dodging drama and stacking wins, all while hinting at the album’s themes of elevation and escape. Fans on X are already hailing it as a return to his 2015-era vocal gymnastics, countering the “washed” chatter from post-jail snippets, and it’s sparking debates on how it stacks against the lead single “Money on Money” with Future.
Clocking in at over an hour, the tape boasts heavy hitters like Travis Scott on “Pipe Down,” Cardi B on “On The News,” and a heartfelt close with Mariah the Scientist on “Dreams Rarely Do Come True,” making UY SCUTI a family affair that flips pain into propulsion. Dive into the Ninja lyrics below and unpack its sly strikes. Don’t miss other UY SCUTI tracks like Money On Money for more of Thug’s cosmic trap glow.

Lyrics of Ninja by Young Thug
[Intro]
This Is The Most Of Them
This Is The One That You Ese The Shadow In The Back Of The Room
He’s The One Directing Traffic
He Is The One That We’re All Afraid Of
He’s The One That’s King Slime, He’s Pulling The Shots
He Is The Most Dangerous Of The Twenty-eight, Judge
And I, I Implore You Not To Grant Him A Bond
He Is Dangerous
The Setup They’ve Given To You Is Actually Going To Be Less Control, Not More
If He Gets A Burner Judge, And The Court May Know This
A Lot Of The Communications That Mr. Williams Is On Is On Facetime
Because It’s Not Traceable, It’s Not Trackable
And We Know That To Be Their M.O
He Gets A Burner, He Gets In There
He Runs His Gang From Inside
And He Won’t Get That, And No One’s Gonna Throw His Cell
I Know What The Investigator Said, With All Due Respect
That’s Not The Jail, That’s Their Job
It’s Not The Job Of Twenty-four Officers Being Paid By Mr. Williams
That’s Not Their Job
The Job Is The Sheriff Of Fulton County, Or Any Other Sheriff
Where Our Sheriff Decides To Put Mr. Williams, That’s Their Job
He Is Dangerous
A-and, I, I Normally Don’t Do This
But I Don’t Hesitate In This Case
Respectfully, Judge, I Believe If You Give Him A Bond
We’re Gonna Have More Witnesses In Danger, Or Gonna Be Missing
I Believe He’s That Dangerous, Judge
Yeah, Sp5Der
King Spider, Yeah
Uh-ah
