Baby Girl

21 Savage's 'Baby Girl' is a vivid portrayal of the rapper's lifestyle, characterized by material wealth, street credibility, and a no-nonsense attitude towards relationships and loyalty. The song opens with a boastful declaration of his opulent jewelry, emphasizing the 'whole pointers' around his neck and the '6 karats' in his ears. This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, where 21 Savage continues to flaunt his wealth and success, symbolized by his 'too many chains' and 'VVS' diamonds, which are known for their exceptional clarity.

The lyrics also delve into 21 Savage's approach to relationships, particularly with women. He treats them with a certain detachment, as seen in lines like 'treat these hoes like I ain't got home training' and 'can't let a broke bitch get near me.' This attitude reflects a broader theme of self-preservation and maintaining a certain standard of living. The repeated refrain 'suck me like a lollipop, baby girl' and 'ride that dick and do the bunny hop, baby girl' further emphasize his casual and transactional view of romantic encounters, where financial and physical gratification are paramount.

Additionally, the song touches on 21 Savage's street background and his readiness to resort to violence if necessary. References to 'stabbing a nigga up' and 'pull up with a chopper' highlight his willingness to defend his status and reputation. The mention of 'Shawshank Redemption' and 'John Gotti' adds a layer of cultural reference, aligning his persona with well-known figures of resilience and power. The line 'swear I would've shot that cracker if I was Rosa Parks' is particularly striking, blending historical defiance with his own narrative of resistance and strength.
