Logged at a house party in 2017: the tag played, and four separate people said the second half of it out loud before the beat came in. None of them were talking to each other.
If Young Metro Don't Trust You
A producer tag — the spoken credit a beatmaker drops at the start of a track — that escaped the track. Its appearance on Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1 turned it into a Vine and meme cue, generally over somebody producing a weapon. The record's entry for a credit line used as a sound effect.

A producer tag is a signature, not a lyric. This one became the most quoted line on a record it does not otherwise appear on, which is an odd thing for a signature to do.

The line is not sung by the credited artist on the song. It is the producer's tag, voiced by someone else again, and dropped in as a stamp of authorship.
