JID’s God Does Like Ugly, dropping August 8, 2025, via Dreamville and Interscope, is a lyrical powerhouse, and “What We On” is its thought-provoking gem. Part of the 15-track saga, this track showcases JID’s Atlanta-rooted hip-hop—think intricate bars and gritty beats, echoing the raw energy of “VCRs” but with a reflective edge that questions purpose and hustle. Set against the album’s dystopian Atlanta vibe, inspired by The Warriors, “What We On” likely dives into the grind and ambition of street life. Fans on X are buzzing about its introspective depth, fueled by the GDLU (Preluxe) EP’s hype. Join us for “What We On” lyrics by JID and witness how he bends bars and breaks molds—one verse at a time.

Lyrics of What We On by JID
[Chorus: Don Toliver]
Baby, What You Be On? I See You Tryna Re-on
You Throw It ’cause What We On, What We On
I’m So Happy To See Ya, I Know You Wanna Be On
’cause We On, Yeah, ’cause We On
’cause We Only Treat You Like A Peon
Get Me Gone, Could See You Wanna Be On, Yeah, Yeah
Buddy Had Turned The Heat On
Shawty Got Some, I Can’t Meet ’em
The Heat On, Heat On, ’cause We On, Yeah
[Verse 1: Don Toliver]
Touch It, Let Me Fuck In It
Walk It, Cross It
Still Geekin’ About Your Love From The Projects
Shawty Got Me Weak
Saw Shawty In The Club Last Night And It Took Me Off My Feet
Took A Dose Of It, Took A Dose Of It And It Got Me Weak
Took A Dose Of It, Took A Dose Of It And It Got Me Weak
[Verse 2: JID]
Hittin’ My Peach, She Hittin’ My Line
Thought That I Was Tied Up With A Freak
That’s A Lie, I Was Probably High, Shawty
‘Cause The Lab Got Me On A Leash
Tried To Call Back, But You Didn’t Respond To Me
Let Me Know Some’, Let Me Know Some While I’m Free
[Chorus: Don Toliver]
Baby, What You Be On? I See You Tryna Re-on
You Throw It ’cause What We On, What We On
I’m So Happy To See Ya, I Know You Wanna Be On
’cause We On, Yeah, ’cause We On
’cause We Only Treat You Like A Peon
Get Me Gone, Could See You Wanna Be On, Yeah, Yeah
Buddy Had Turned The Heat On
Shawty Got Some, I Can’t Meet ’em
The Heat On, Heat On, ’cause We On, Yeah
[Verse 3: Don Toliver]
I Just Wanna See The Lights
I Ain’t Worried About A Hot Day
I Just Wanna Make It Right
Knee Deep Down In The Paint
Call A Holiday To The Saints
Sippin’ A Whole Pint Of That Drank
Smokin’ A Whole Ounce Of That Dank
How You Get Over There? They Changed
She Pulled Out A I8
Rode Off To The Bank
Rolled Off, Let Her—
[Verse 4: JID & Don Toliver]
Look, Rolled Out Another State
I Done Made A Hundred Thousand In A Day
That’s A Half A Milli’ In A Week
Kinda Hard To Speak To Me From A Plane
We Are Not The Same
She Be Tryna Run Me The Brains, Number
Exchange Fluids, I Ain’t Payin’ Attention To It
I’m Intuitive And It’s A Crude And Booty Stank
Gimme One Of Them, Huh
It Done Make It Hard For A Nigga To Leave
I Know It Ain’t Love, That’s Just What I Need
I’m Sippin’ The Cup, I Rinse And Repeat
I Sin And Repent, I Sin And Repeat
Defender With A Trick Up My Sleeve
A Spender On A Bitch That I Please
It’s Winter, So The Wrist, I’ma Freeze, A Blizzard
Shawty Senegalese, A Sister
And She Want Me To Be Her Mister
But I Don’t Wanna Tease Or Tempt Her
‘Cause You Know That I Read The Scripture
Like It’s Adam And Eve, I Probably Done Seen The Picture
Two Hunnid Degrees, Movin’ At Light Speed And Sippin’ Elixir
Now Come In And Get Her
Swerve And Serve And Your Burnt
I’m Too Turnt, With One Stone, I Kill Two Birds
My Feet In The Sand, They Planted, Buildin’ A New Earth With New Curse
But Steady On The Surface With True Purpose Now
I Can Take You Deeper, We Just Skimmin’ The Surface
The Things You Like To Think But Never Speak It In Person Loud
You Can Follow Me And I Can Lead On
I Know You Hate To Be Home Alone
With A T-shirt And No Panties On, Yeah (Yeah)
[Chorus: Don Toliver]
Baby, What You Be On? I See You Tryna Re-on
You Throw It ’cause What We On, What We On
I’m So Happy To See Ya, I Know You Wanna Be On
‘Cause We On, Yeah, ’cause We On
‘Cause We Only Treat You Like A Peon
Get Me Gone, Could See You Wanna Be On, Yeah, Yeah
Buddy Had Turned The Heat On
Shawty Got Some, I Can’t Meet ’em
The Heat On, Heat On, ’cause We On, Yeah
[Outro: Don Toliver]
The Cup’s More Than Anything, Ooh
The Cup’s More Than Anything, Ooh
Help Me, Come On, Help Me, Come On
Help Me, Come On, Help Me, Come On
