The Hustle and Loyalty of Lil Baby in 'On Me'

Lil Baby's song 'On Me' is a vivid portrayal of his life, highlighting themes of hustle, loyalty, and the rewards of hard work. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who has risen from humble beginnings to achieve significant success, yet remains grounded and loyal to his roots. The opening lines, 'Fill the bando up with bags, give the lil' bro them a job / You can come get rich with us, you gon' eat or you gon' starve?' emphasize the importance of providing opportunities for those around him, reflecting a sense of responsibility and community.

Throughout the song, Lil Baby touches on the duality of his existence. On one hand, he enjoys the luxuries that come with his success, such as riding in a 2020 Cullinan and spending money freely on things he likes. On the other hand, he acknowledges the dangers and challenges that come with his lifestyle, such as needing to bulletproof his car and keeping a 'certified hitter' on standby. This duality is further explored in lines like 'I'm a human, I'm not perfect, I know sometimes I be wrong,' showing his self-awareness and vulnerability.

The song also delves into themes of loyalty and trust, particularly in relationships. Lil Baby praises a woman who has stood by him through thick and thin, even when he was in jail, calling her a 'real bitch.' This loyalty is reciprocated as he spends money on her and supports her business ventures. The recurring line, 'Come and put that pussy on me, don't be runnin' from me,' can be seen as a metaphor for seeking genuine connection and intimacy amidst the chaos of his life. Overall, 'On Me' is a testament to Lil Baby's journey, his values, and the people who have supported him along the way.
