My Bad (Feat, Lil Peep)

In 'My Bad,' Fat Nick and Lil Peep explore themes of excess, indulgence, and the consequences that come with a lavish lifestyle. The song's repetitive chorus, 'Stuntin' too hard, my bad,' reflects a sense of unapologetic pride in their wealth and the lifestyle it affords them. The diamonds and lean (a slang term for a recreational drug drink) symbolize their success and the hedonistic pleasures they indulge in. However, the phrase 'my bad' also hints at a subtle acknowledgment of the potential downsides of their actions, suggesting a complex relationship with their own choices.

Fat Nick's verses delve deeper into this lifestyle, emphasizing loyalty to his close friends ('day-ones') and the numbing effects of drugs ('Smokin' gas and poppin' pills, we're going till our face numb'). The imagery of VVS diamonds and duffel bags full of money paints a picture of opulence, but there's an underlying sense of emptiness and a search for excitement that goes beyond material wealth. The repeated mention of 'lean' highlights the escapism that often accompanies such a lifestyle, where the thrill of money and drugs becomes a way to fill a void.

Lil Peep's contribution adds an emotional layer to the song. His lines, 'And when nobody give a fuck about me, you do,' reveal a longing for genuine connection amidst the superficiality. He acknowledges the importance of his crew and the loyalty they share, contrasting with the fake smiles and deceit ('You can smile in my face, but you fufu'). This duality of seeking real relationships while being surrounded by insincerity adds depth to the song, making it not just a celebration of excess but also a reflection on the loneliness and mistrust that can come with it.
