Money Longer

Lil Uzi Vert's 'Money Longer' is a vivid portrayal of the rapper's journey from obscurity to fame, and the changes that come with newfound wealth and success. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the transformation in his life, highlighting how his financial status has improved ('Money got longer'), and how this has affected other aspects of his life, such as his social standing and material possessions ('speaker got louder, car got faster'). The phrase 'Turn to a savage' suggests a shift in his demeanor, possibly becoming more assertive or ruthless as a result of his success.

The lyrics also delve into the hedonistic lifestyle that often accompanies fame. References to drug use ('Smoking that gas, gone off that Xanny, she on the powder') and casual relationships ('she call me daddy') paint a picture of a life filled with excess and indulgence. This lifestyle is further emphasized by the mention of luxury items and experiences, such as diamonds on his teeth and dining out on blackened salmon. The line 'Chris Brown said these hoes ain't loyal' reflects a cynical view of relationships, suggesting that loyalty is hard to come by in his world.

Despite the apparent glamour, there's an underlying sense of disillusionment. The repetition of 'Nowadays I am on, my haters got sadder' indicates that success has not only brought admiration but also envy and resentment from others. The line 'Never thought it would be days I could kick my feet up' hints at a sense of disbelief and perhaps a longing for simpler times. This duality of enjoying the perks of success while grappling with its downsides is a central theme in 'Money Longer', making it a compelling narrative of the highs and lows of fame.
