Update: This song has been removed from streaming services due to sample-clearance issues.
Rising teen rapper Nettspend is floating in the Top 40 of the Genius Top Songs chart this morning with “That One Song,” a sun-warped ode to chemical indulgence that samples and pitch-shifts the 2012 Deftones track “Entombed.”
In a popular TikTok, musician @thayerperiod explains in just 30 seconds how “That One Song”—which Nettspend has been teasing for a while—might’ve been built from the Deftones original. justron, the producer of “That One Song,” replied “Close…” in the comments, so it’s likely this track really did come together very quickly. It’s unclear how long Nettspend spent on his lyrics, but using a slurry, effects-heavy delivery, he describes taking a bunch of drugs and drifting off into oblivion. Here’s the intro:
I just wanna get high
She just wanna get—
I just wanna get high
She just wanna get high
I’ve been bad all along
In the lone verse (the whole song runs a mere 1:49), Nettspend partakes of lean, Xanax, and MDMA, the type branded with the Tesla logo. (Shoutout Genius user @dash for the X/Tesla annotation.) He’s making horrible decisions without a second thought about the consequences.
Pour up for my brother, your lean don’t even make me high
You get me high, you get me high, it don’t even get me—
Xan got me high enough to fuck your main bitch
She said I’m going dumb, but I won’t cum, who you think I am?
TRX, yeah, I-95, popped the Tesla X
Later on, Nettspend admits that he’s had negative experiences with some substances. But he’s found the one he believes works for him.
I was with a college girl and she was off the ketamine
I just want you to see the best of me, uh (Me, me)
Like, Brink’s truck full of sticks
You know how we roll, but fuck your rock and roll
It’s some drugs that I hate, I love the drug that I’m on
It’s some plugs that I hate, I’ll take the plug out the wall (Uh)
In the music video for “That One Song,” Nettspend gets literally high on the side of a highway while his friends look on with wonder and admiration. They must not have taken the same thing he did.
