Not for kids

Explicit language, drug/alcohol use, sexual references, racial themes

Detailed Analysis

These lyrics contain a wide range of mature content that makes them suitable only for older audiences. There is pervasive use of racial slurs and profanity throughout. Sexual content is present through innuendo and euphemism, including references to sexual intercourse ('fornicating,' 'fuck up some shit'), a crude reference to male genitalia ('my dick longer than a Pringle box'), and a sexual 'pull out' reference framed as a climax metaphor. Drug and alcohol references are prominent, including mentions of being intoxicated ('lit'), club drinking, references to pills, and a simile comparing music to crack cocaine. There are references to criminal activity including robbery ('hit that lick'), drug dealing imagery ('sell that coke'), and dodging police. The lyrics also touch on systemic racism, police brutality, and media bias against Black youth, which while socially conscious, are heavy and complex themes. Mental health themes surface through references to demonic haunting and contemplating a destructive lifestyle. The combination of explicit language, sexual innuendo, drug and alcohol glorification, and criminal references places this firmly in the 18+ category.
