Quick to dead the bull like a matador
Quick to dead the bull like a matador
Bull, bull, bull like a matador
Quick to dead the bull like a matador
In this short opening to the song, Miguel uses imagery of bullfighting to explain his ability to avoid 'bull'shit. he refers to himself as a matador, which implies that he is skillful and fast, and shows finesse when doing this.
Cap and a stem, catch a wave on us (splish)
Take a shot, make a friend, just enjoy the moment
I'm Luke Skywalkin' on these haters (splish)
Celebrate every day like a birthday
Good things come to those that wait up (splish)
But don't wait to jump in too long
Don't sleep, you gotta stay up (splish)
Don't, don't sleep, you gotta stay up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'cap and a stem' refers to the psychedelic mushrooms that Miguel is sharing amongst his friends. He references Star Wars on the line 'I'm Luke Skywalking on these haters...' . He had this to say about the reference
"I’m a major Star Wars geek. I’m trying to make one of the conventions next year. I would go in full costume too. Luke Skywalker is the chosen one. For some reason he’s just great and has all of the wherewithal in him. Sometimes I don’t know why my mind connects certain things, but it just felt right so I left it."
I'm outstandin' so I stand out (stand out)
I'm more bathed than a bathhouse
Top Gun, on my Tom Cruise
I play for keeps and I don't lose
You're gonna love it 'cause you're cool as a breeze (cool as a breeze)
So pick a poison, yeah I got what you need (got what you need)
Nonchalant, got the green on rotation
All night, we gon' keep it psychedelic like a
'I'm outstandin' so I stand out' is a show of Miguel's confidence in himself. He claims this was the first line that came out of his mouth when he got the beat for this song. 'Top Gun, on my Tom Cruise' has no proper meaning, it is simply an homage to Tom Cruise. Miguel says that the line "just felt good" and that "This song isn't overly thought out... it was just about what feels right". When he says 'pick a poison...' he offers the listener to pick what they want to drink, referring to the ill-effects of excessive drinking.

Don't, don't sleep, you gotta stay up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wildin' on my haters (yah)
In my 23s, havin' a Jordan moment
Wildin' with the paper (it's lit)
Ice all on my chain, I'ma
I just popped two, I'll be stayin' up (yeah, yeah)
Hangin' with the gang, that shit dangerous, yeah
I can fuck you with my chain, you should take a look, yeah
Come and catch a wave, take one out my cup, yeah
Damn near OD'd (OD'd)
Damn the police, woah (hey)
Wildin' in SV, yeah (hey)
Movin' up your street, yeah (straight up)
When we on the creek
And bring sand to the beach (alright)
Ain't no day, ain't no night
Made no plans, ain't no sleep
Yeah, yeah
"wildin on my haters..." means that Travis is going crazy, having a good time despite what his haters think. He won't let them ruin what he has achieved just because they don't want to see him succeed. 'in my 23s having a Jordan moment...' refers to Michael Jordan. Jordan is regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, and Travis feels like the greatest of all time as he describes in the line. Travis also says that he is in his '23s' Which means he is wearing Jordan sneakers. Here are some clips of the greatest 'Jordan Moments' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFyOdSRke0g)
Travis also offers someone to 'catch a wave, take one out my cup' which means he wants to share the drugs/alcohol in his cup with someone. He explains that he takes so many drugs that he 'damn near OD's'.

Don't, don't sleep, you gotta stay up
I was vivid, but I'm better now (hey)
All gains I've been wrappin' up (hey)
Quick to dead the bull like a matador (hey)
Right now I'm higher up than Canada (hey)
Miguel refers to Canada, where he says he's higher than Canada, likely at the peak of his high/trip.
