No More (feat. Travis Scott & Kodak Black)

Metro Boomin's track "No More" featuring Travis Scott and Kodak Black delves deep into the struggles and consequences of fame, addiction, and the search for authenticity in a world that often feels hollow. The song opens with a reflection on the highs and lows of success, juxtaposing the soothing feeling of a comedown with the excitement of a come-up. This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the relentless pursuit of success and the toll it takes on one's mental and emotional well-being.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artists' battles with substance abuse as a coping mechanism for the pressures of fame. Lines like "I pop pills till I can't feel no more" and "I sip drank until I can't no more" highlight the numbing effect of drugs, used to escape the harsh realities of their lives. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the cyclical nature of addiction, where temporary relief leads to a deeper sense of emptiness and despair. The mention of ecstasy, lean, and Percocet underscores the prevalence of these substances in the hip-hop community and their role in the artists' lives.

The song also touches on themes of loyalty, identity, and the impact of fame on personal relationships. The artists express a sense of disillusionment with the people around them, questioning who is genuine and who is not. This is evident in lines like "I don't even know who keep it real anymore" and "Tried love but I can't no more." The lyrics suggest that the pursuit of fame and fortune often leads to betrayal and a loss of self, as individuals struggle to maintain their integrity in a world driven by materialism and superficiality. The closing lines, with their plea for the world to be saved from the hunger for power, serve as a poignant reminder of the destructive nature of these pursuits.
