RATCHETS (feat. Lil Tracy & Diplo)

Lil Peep's song 'RATCHETS,' featuring Lil Tracy and Diplo, delves into the hedonistic and chaotic lifestyle often associated with the underground rap scene. The repetitive chorus, 'Ratchet bitches cocaina,' sets the tone for a narrative steeped in excess, substance abuse, and a raw, unfiltered portrayal of life on the edge. The term 'ratchet' is slang for someone who is unapologetically themselves, often in a way that is considered socially unacceptable. By pairing this with 'cocaina,' Lil Peep paints a vivid picture of a world where reckless behavior and drug use are the norms.

The lyrics are filled with references to luxury and decadence, such as 'let me fuck you in my Beamer' and 'molly in my Aquafina.' These lines highlight a lifestyle where material wealth and drug use are intertwined, creating a sense of fleeting pleasure and escapism. Lil Peep's mention of looking like Justin Bieber and buying Timberlands adds a layer of irony, juxtaposing his gritty reality with the polished image of mainstream pop culture. This contrast underscores the duality of his existence, caught between fame and the darker aspects of his life.

Lil Tracy's verse continues this theme, with mentions of Hennessy, multiple sexual encounters, and a carefree attitude towards life and death. The imagery of 'milly rockin' on the rocks' and 'I take you out like some snot' further emphasizes the reckless abandon that characterizes their world. The song's repetitive structure and hypnotic beat, produced by Diplo, create an almost trance-like effect, drawing listeners into the chaotic and alluring world that Lil Peep and Lil Tracy inhabit. Through 'RATCHETS,' Lil Peep offers a raw and unfiltered glimpse into a lifestyle marked by excess, danger, and a constant search for meaning amidst the chaos.
