Rapper Reimagines Panic! At the Disco, Changes Lyrics to Classic

Rapper Yung Gravy has taken his love for a Panic! at the Disco classic and turned it into what could be his next big hit. That’s right, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” has been reimagined by Gravy as “I Write Hymns Not Travesties.”

The song samples the famous pizzicato cello motif of the original version albeit in a bit of a sped up manner, as Yung Gravy also name checks the band and singer Brendon Urie in the lyrics and sings along with Urie’s original vocal in the slightly altered chorus.

“I was a huge Panic! fan growing up, so when I dropped Sensational and saw Brendon Urie blasting it, I knew I had to flip this eventually,” says Gravy. “Shoutout to PATD for always supporting baby. Gravy! at the Disco.” Take a listen to the song and check out his newly reimagined lyrics below.

Yung Gravy, “I Write Hymns Not Travesties” Lyrics

Hit the boof blunt feeling panic at the disco
Neck, wrist diamonds but I never smoke crystal
Margiela Mason, Gravy posted in the middle
Whole lot of fine shyt in both of my peripherals
1, 2, 3, Forbes 30 under 30
300 women, dive up in it like I’m Xerxes
Sailing through the streets with the drip, give ‘em scurvy
End it on a high note, feel like Brendon Urie

I chime in with a haven’t you people ever heard of
Getting ya god damn dough up
Go and get some bread
Stack that change ’til the day I’m dead
I chime in, haven’t you people ever heard of
Getting ya god damn hoes up
Put you on game
Make that bag then you make it rain

Butter up the booty had to spray it with the Crisco
Crème Brûlée skin, but the coochie on flamingo
Kitty talking to me call me Dr. Doolittle
Before she get the dick she gon’ have to solve riddle
Coochie waterfall, T.L.C., hit it gentle
Shit was so bussin’ that I busted accidental
That was yo bitch? Must be coincidental
Lemme talk to ‘em baby, flip the instrumental
I only write hymns I don’t write no travesties
Every time I step out, catch a few casualties
I’ve been known to pull, baby it’s Yung Gravity
I only get addressed by your wife as “your majesty”
My hoes handpicked with poise and rationality
Swiss, Persian, Thai, Cuban, plenty nationalities
Riding drop top with a Miss Congeniality
Got 6 Vogue models in my booth at the Applebees

I chime in with a haven’t you people ever heard of
Getting ya god damn dough up
Go and get some bread
Stack that change ’til the day I’m dead
I chime in, haven’t you people ever heard of
Getting ya god damn hoes up
Put you on game
Make that bag then you make it rain
I chime in with a haven’t you people ever heard of
Getting ya god damn dough up
Go and get some bread
Stack that change ’til the day I’m dead
I chime in, haven’t you people ever heard of
Getting ya god damn hoes up
Put you on game
Make that bag then you make it rain

It should also be noted that it appears that new Yung Gravy version called “I Write Hymns Not Travesties” was done with the blessing of Panic and Brendon Urie himself.

The rapper shared a cheeky exchange with Urie through his Instagram stories in which Urie reached out to let Yung Gravy know that Panic’s “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” passed one billion plays streaming the same day Gravy’s new song went live.
