The repeated phrase "drip or drown" serves as a mantra, emphasizing the importance of maintaining this high level of style and success.
The lyrics are rich with references to luxury brands and items, such as Damier Buckle, Goyard duffle, Dior bifocals, and Palm Angels sweater. These references not only highlight Gunna's wealth but also his keen sense of fashion.
