Wasted

Gucci Mane's song "Wasted" is a vivid portrayal of the hedonistic and often reckless lifestyle associated with rockstars and party culture. The lyrics paint a picture of constant partying, substance abuse, and a carefree attitude towards life. The hook, repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizes the idea of living life to the fullest, albeit in a potentially self-destructive manner. The phrase "Rockstar lifestyle might don't make it" suggests an awareness of the dangers and potential consequences of such a lifestyle, yet it is embraced wholeheartedly.

In the first verse, Gucci Mane references various celebrities known for their wild behavior, such as Whitney Houston and Britney Spears, to highlight the extent of his own indulgence. The use of substances like codeine and ecstasy is mentioned repeatedly, indicating a culture of drug use that is prevalent in the party scene. The imagery of "grandma sippin syrup leanin wasted" adds a humorous yet poignant touch, showing that no one is immune to the allure of this lifestyle.

Plies' verse continues the theme of excess, with a focus on sexual exploits and the camaraderie of his crew. The mention of "tight jeans" and "white boys" serves to contrast different cultural expressions of partying, yet ultimately shows that the desire to get wasted transcends these boundaries. The presence of a firearm and the mention of "big faces" (large denominations of money) add an element of danger and bravado to the narrative.

The final verse by Gucci Mane brings the song full circle, reiterating the themes of excess and indulgence. The mention of various locations and events, such as Magic City and Spring Bling, grounds the song in real-life experiences and highlights the ubiquity of this lifestyle. The repeated calls for more alcohol and the description of everyone being "wasted" underscore the relentless pursuit of pleasure, despite the potential risks involved.
