Kodak Black recorded "Super Gremlin" for the Sniper Gang label Halloween-themed compilation Sniper Gang Presents Syko Bob & Snapkatt: Nightmare Babies. Sniper Gang is a record label and clothing company founded by Kodak himself. Kodak centers his gritty verses on his lavish and reckless lifestyle. His reference to taking counterfeit Percocets is surprising considering he was on probation at the time. Kodak directs the chorus at fellow Sniper Gang rapper Jackboy. The two had been close friends since their childhood, but the pair started beefing after Kodak claimed Sniper Gang members envy his success. He reminisces on past memories and warns Jackboy to keep his distance. Producers Jambo and ATL Jacob sample the German band How to Loot Brazil's 2019 track "Errror (We Could Be Superstars)." Their relaxed, catchy production is at odds with Kodak's dark lyrics. Interest in the song increased after vloggers Zias and B. Lou uploaded a "Super Gremlin" reaction video featuring Kodak himself. Portions of the visual went viral because of the Florida rapper's bizarre behavior, which led to people accusing him of being on drugs. This helped push "Super Gremlin" from #55 to #23 on the Hot 100, his first Top 40 hit since his two-year prison stretch for weapons possession. The song also features on Kodak Black's 2022 Back For Everything album.

eah, we could be superstars
We been rather wreckin' cars (Ayy bro, is that Jambo?)
What is at stake for us?
Kickin' off power mirrors
Yeah, we could be superstars
But I'm pretty sure our time is up
And so we fell off the spinning tops
Don't know, maybe for trial (ATL Jacob, ATL Jacob)
But way more error

Say you my nigga, I'ma be your killer
Nobody gon' play with you when I'm with you
Go against any nigga, like fuck this glitter
Skeet off dirt, I'm ditchin'
I put it in for you, I spin for you
Whatever you with, I'm with it
How you gon' cross a nigga that rockin' with you?
I got you lit in the city
I been multitaskin'
Rappin' and bein' a daddy to my lil' children
I been standin' on business
And spinnin' and spinnin' and spinnin' until I'm dizzy
I do all the smackin', he ain't never step or help
With none of these killings, you doin' a lot of cappin'
Watch when I catch you, I'ma whack you in front of the witness

Damn, my nigga you trippin'
We could've been superstars (superstars)
Remember when we was jackin' cars (jackin' cars)
Now it's not safe for you (safe for you)
You switched like a pussy, lil' bitch
Damn, my nigga you trippin'
We could've been superstars
Can't help it, now I'm reminiscing
Remember when we was jackin' cars
Now you better keep your distance
'Cause it's not safe for you (safe for you) (Eladio Carrión)
You switched like a pussy, lil' bitch (¡sendo cabrón!)

La forty en el fanny Goyard (pew)
Desde que yo hago dinero me quieren odiar (wuh)
Ódienme to' lo que quieran
Pero comoquiera yo voy a cobrar (¡mula!)
Tengo una shorty que e' de Venezuela
Se pasa en Miami y vive en Doral (wuh)
Me gusta gastar
Si yo me muero mañana, dime, ¿de qué vale ahorrar? (Hey!)
'Toy en Sophia comiendo linguini
Joven leyenda, real como Beanie
Yo soy un mago en to' lo que hago
Me monto encima 'e la pista, Houdini (damn)
Tengo do' pieza' encima
Pero no hablo de un traje 'e baño, bikini (¡pra!)
To' los masaje' son a domicilio
Mírame, tengo los ojo' supini (¡krr, paw!)
No me llames si no es pa' josear (pa' josear)
Si ere' falso, no vo'a negociar (¡no!)
A un palomo no le vo'a dar lu' (Shh)
Son asesino' solo en YouTube (ey)

A lo' brother le achacaron quince carjacking
De ley me llegaron la' libra' de Maqui
En la industria musical
Yo tengo el respeto desde Don Omar hasta Yankee
Siempre los ojo' chino' como Jackie
Joseando to' los día' en gorra y en white tee
Cruzando de Hialeah a Little Haiti
Tú no va' a poder con el lápi' de Myke, ey
Estoy conectao' con lo' moreno'
Haciendo movida' grande', sigo repartiendo el veneno
To' los que ante' me fronteaban están perdiendo terreno
Tú sabe' cómo corremo'
Por dinero yo me arriesgo, yeah, yeah
I want my money, nigga
Don't you ever let a bitch get in between
Las cosa' yo las digo una sola ve'
Cabrón, no me gusta repetir
Voy a seguirle', mandándole' fuego
Hasta que los vea derretir
Y yo no me he ido, cabrón
Sigo aquí, por algo me dicen el Young King
Myke Towers, nigga

We could've been superstars (superstars)
Remember when we was jackin' cars (jackin' cars)
Now it's not safe for you (safe for you)
You switched like a pussy, lil' bitch
Damn, my nigga you trippin'
We could've been superstars
Can't help it, now I'm reminiscing
Remember when we was jackin' cars
Now you better keep your distance
'Cause it's not safe for you (safe for you)
You switched like a pussy, lil' bitch

Trackhawk with the kit, snatch off on a bitch
When I slide, night light on the blick
Bet I'm on my shit when I'm outside
Zoe done ran down
Caught him pants down, nigga you shitted
I knew the Perc was fake, but I still ate it
'Cause I'm a gremlin

Yeah, we could be superstars (Super Gremlin)
But I'm pretty sure our time is up (now your time is up)
And so we fell in love with spinnin' drops
Still only a child, but faithful error
I ain't slimin', I'm grimin'
Any way you put it I'm SG with it, I'm Super Gremlin
Snatch and grab, sneak and geek
Sniper Gang, trust

Nightmare, baby, you know I
I bet you always see me in your dreams
