OMG

Clay And Friends' song 'OMG' delves into the chaotic and often unpredictable nature of modern life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of daily struggles and fleeting moments, encapsulating the essence of living in a fast-paced world. The opening lines, 'Everyday is do or die / Bootie calls and Uber rides,' set the tone for a life filled with constant movement and decisions that feel like life or death. The mention of 'Wifi at my funeral' and 'Shave your head and get a job' highlights societal pressures and the absurdity of modern expectations.

The chorus, with its repeated 'OMG,' serves as a reaction to the unexpected twists and turns life throws at us. The lines 'If I just had one mo day to go / I’d swim inside a lovely bo-ttle' reflect a desire to escape and find solace, even if just for a moment. The reference to writing an anthem and getting paid 'like a ransom' suggests a longing for recognition and financial stability, while also hinting at the artist's struggle with the music industry's demands.

The song also touches on themes of mortality and the fleeting nature of existence. 'A minute you’re here, the next your gone' and 'Days are short, the night is long' emphasize the transient nature of life. The lyrics 'Can’t believe your six feet deep / The Other side is make belief' grapple with the concept of death and what lies beyond. The song's reflective tone is balanced with moments of defiance and resilience, as seen in lines like 'My mama raised me, boy be humble / Not in my house I go motumbo.' This juxtaposition of vulnerability and strength captures the complexity of navigating life's challenges.

'OMG' by Clay And Friends is a poignant exploration of life's unpredictability, societal pressures, and the quest for meaning amidst chaos. The song's blend of introspection and resilience resonates with listeners, offering a relatable and thought-provoking narrative.
