Spaceship (feat. Sheck Wes)

Don Toliver's 'Spaceship (feat. Sheck Wes)' is a vivid exploration of the highs and lows that come with success, fame, and the fast-paced lifestyle of a modern artist. The song's title and recurring metaphor of a 'spaceship' symbolize the elevated, almost otherworldly state that Toliver and Sheck Wes find themselves in due to their success. This 'spaceship' represents not just their luxurious lifestyle but also the isolation and impatience that can come with it. The repeated line, 'Who steady copped the keys to my spaceship?' suggests a sense of control and ownership over their journey, yet also hints at the pressures and responsibilities that accompany their status.

The lyrics are rich with references to material wealth and indulgence, such as 'sellin' all Alicia Keys, she on my playlist' and 'spend a ticket on Rolex, plus the ice on your neck.' These lines highlight the artists' ability to afford luxury items and live extravagantly, but they also underscore a deeper narrative about the fleeting nature of these pleasures. The mention of 'lean' and 'dumpin' ashes' points to the self-destructive behaviors that often accompany such a lifestyle, suggesting that the highs of success are frequently tempered by personal struggles and vices.

Sheck Wes's verse adds another layer to the song, emphasizing a relentless pursuit of success and the sacrifices made along the way. Lines like 'I can't wait for no red light' and 'I need more M's than B's' reflect an unyielding drive to achieve more, regardless of the obstacles. The imagery of 'hotbox my SUV' and 'diamonds in my teeth' further illustrates the juxtaposition of opulence and recklessness. Together, Don Toliver and Sheck Wes paint a complex picture of life at the top, where the thrill of success is constantly shadowed by the pressures and pitfalls that come with it.
