Wakin' up, I see the light

I took the drive to clear my mental (Mental)
Would tint the whip, but it's a bike

Wear Louis shades to block my psyche (Psyche)
It's hot as hell, but where the ice?
You in God's Country, not in Montgomery
Go Ted Bundy, then go home and play Al Bundy
The card black and you know it got a sky limit

About
“GOD’S COUNTRY,” a psychedelic trap-infused track that sees Travis Scott rapping about high affluence to mask the true meaning of togetherness and how he prioritizes his family while staying his need for moving away from the “noise.”
The track holds a slow and steady cadence as it is laced around a Dez Wright-made sample, looping the words “La, la, la, la,” which ultimately builds the warped sound while providing a melancholy undertone to it.
The song was originally supposed to be featured on Kanye West’s tenth full-length studio album, Donda, but it was removed for unknown reasons and was eventually released solo.
First previewed from a leaked documentary directed by Dame Dash, Travis officially previewed the track on August 6, 2022 — alongside “LOST FOREVER” — while headlining at the O2 Arena in London.
A week before the album’s official release, it was previewed for the final time at iHeartRadio on July 20, 2023, and was described as “an exclusive snippet of an additional track from UTOPIA”.
On July 29, 2023, Travis released the official music video which portrayed a strong image of a low-income neighborhood, suggesting that the idea behind “GOD’S COUNTRY” is that God’s country is a place where there are small and incomparable moments in your hometown — as if they’re God’s wish — which are near impossible to replace.
