Rush (feat. Krizz Kaliko)

In the song "Rush (feat. Krizz Kaliko)", RM delves into the intense and often overwhelming desire to achieve stardom. The lyrics reflect a sense of urgency and impatience, as RM repeatedly emphasizes the need to "put a rush on it" (seodulleo). This phrase, which translates to "hurry up" in Korean, underscores the pressure he feels to succeed quickly and become the biggest star in the world. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song highlights the relentless drive and the high stakes involved in the pursuit of fame.

RM also explores the fleeting nature of fame and the inevitable reality that everyone will eventually leave the world. Despite the desire to be the biggest star, there is an acknowledgment that fame is temporary. This duality creates a tension between the urgency to achieve success and the understanding that it is ultimately ephemeral. The lyrics suggest a struggle to balance ambition with the acceptance of life's impermanence.

The collaboration with Krizz Kaliko adds another layer to the song, as both artists reflect on their personal journeys and the challenges they face. The references to material success, such as money for a condo and a Fiat, juxtapose with the deeper emotional and psychological struggles of maintaining relevance and popularity. The song also touches on themes of resilience and determination, as RM and Krizz Kaliko emphasize the importance of pushing forward despite obstacles and setbacks. The line "Races ain't givin to the swiftest but the realist one" encapsulates the idea that true success comes from authenticity and perseverance rather than speed.
