The intro samples audio from Kanye's confrontation of a paparazzi in 2013.[4]

Background[]

Kanye initially recorded a freestyle on May 25, 2021 with production done by Plain Pat during the Green Tiles sessions in Pio Pico.[5] The song was scrapped and wasn't worked on again for 2 years.

In 2023, the song was brought back by Kanye for YEBU. The song had been entirely reproduced by BoogzDaBeast as well as Dem Jointz who had also contributed to the writing of the song through recording punch-in lines.[6] Westside Gunn had also recorded a feature intended for the song.

When YEBU had been scrapped mid-2023, so had the song. In November 2023, it was given to French Montana whom recorded a verse for it and released it months later as a part of his own mixtape, Mac & Cheese 5.[7]

Lyrics[]

[Intro]
Take a fucking 'nother photo, man
Don't take another fuckin' photo, man
I just got here, homie
Don't take no photos, stop it (Okay)

[Chorus]
Ooh, where they at?
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at?
Where they at? (Grrt)
Ooh, where they at? (Doot-do-do-do-doot)
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at?
Where they at? Yeah (N***as actin' like they fly than Superflygod, but)
Where they at?
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at?
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at? (Haan)
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at?

[Verse 1]
Ayo
Hermés bandana on my head, I think I'm Tupac
The watch four-hundred retail with bethel, got no rooftop (Skrrt)
Nine bed, thirteen baths in The Boondocks
Off-White, line twenty-ones, Laurent tube socks
Got your bitch on the Peter Pan with two blocks
The bomb look like a Fupa, baby, let's make dua
If the dogs come, don't call my phone
I never knew ya, if you make it
A Pucci wetsuit you while we scuba
Multi-millionaire and a two-time loser (Ah)
Got a button on the back with the air-booler (Grrt)
Got bricks off consignment, if I fuck with you
Gucci racer suit on and I ain't even drive it
(Superflygod, uh-uh)

[Chorus]
Where they at?
Where they at? (Doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Ooh, where they at?
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at? (Haan)
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at?
Where they at? Yeah

[Verse 2]
Remember when they asked dumb shit like, "Can he rap?"
I don't even know where most my Grammy's at
Remember when they asked dumb shit like, "Can he rap?"
Now I can't even find my diamond plaques
Emerge through the smoke and the haze like Isaac
More LV than Pharrell in my closet (No, for real)
South Bronx, I gotta rep, send your bitch outta breath
Word to Anna, smoke the Lucy on the Met Gala steps
Reverse the odds, silk Versace on Big in "Hypnotize"
California love, but New York my blood can't pick a side
We both got mansions, just a different size
Cocaine city, the billboards, the rap drug lords
The flow fentanyl, the boys slept on
The opps stepped on, haan

[Chorus]
Where they at?
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at? (Grrt)
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at?
Where they at? (Doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Ooh, where they at?
Where they at? Yeah
Where they at? (Doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at?
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at? (Haan)
Where they at?
Ooh, where they at?

[Outro: Kanye West, French Montana]
What's the deal? (Uh-huh)
For the deal?
For the thrill
What's the deal?
(Coke boy, baby)
You know what it is, when you hear that, "Haan"
My vibration
High vibration (Haan)
Got vibes waitin'
Where they at?
Montana, Westside, Buffalo, Chicago
South Bronx, ha
