Swang

Rae Sremmurd's 'Swang' is a track that encapsulates the carefree and indulgent lifestyle often associated with young, successful artists in the hip-hop industry. The song's hook, 'Know some young niggas like to swang,' repeated throughout, suggests a group of young people who enjoy showing off their wealth and success, likely through the act of 'swanging'—a term that can refer to the swinging motion of a car when driving recklessly or simply living life in a loose, carefree manner.

The lyrics 'Big bank take a little bank' and 'Everyday spillin' up drank' further emphasize the theme of excess and the flaunting of wealth. The song portrays a world where financial success allows for a lifestyle of constant partying and material indulgence. The lines 'When the money talks, what is there to say? Blow away, watch it blow away' reflect a nihilistic view of wealth, suggesting that money is transient and ultimately can't be taken 'to the grave.' This hedonistic philosophy promotes living in the moment and enjoying the fruits of success without concern for the future.

Slim Jxmmi's verse adds a layer of depth to the song by acknowledging the choices that led to this lifestyle. He mentions the possibility of having chosen a different path, like becoming a doctor, but instead, he 'chose to be a baller.' This choice is not presented with regret but as a deliberate decision to pursue a life of excitement and wealth. The song, overall, is a celebration of the highs of living large, the thrill of fast cars, easy money, and the camaraderie among those who share this lifestyle.
