Dat $tick

Rich Brian's 'Dat $tick' is a powerful anthem of defiance and survival, capturing the raw energy and gritty reality of life on the streets. The song opens with vivid imagery of violence and rebellion, as the artist describes a life where survival often means breaking the rules and confronting authority head-on. The line 'Every time I see a pig, I don't hesitate to kill 'em' reflects a deep-seated mistrust and hostility towards law enforcement, a sentiment that resonates with many who feel marginalized and oppressed by the system.

The chorus, with its repeated declaration of not giving a 'fuck about a mothafuckin' po,' reinforces this theme of defiance. Rich Brian's use of aggressive language and imagery serves to underscore the intensity of his emotions and the harsh realities of his environment. The 'stick' he refers to is a slang term for a gun, symbolizing both protection and power in a world where violence is a constant threat.

Beyond the violence, 'Dat $tick' also touches on issues of poverty and inequality. The lyrics highlight the stark contrast between the lives of the rich and the struggles of those living in poverty. 'People be starving and people be killing for food' paints a bleak picture of desperation, while the reference to 'rich mothafuckas' who 'stay eatin' good' underscores the systemic inequalities that perpetuate this cycle of violence and deprivation. Rich Brian's raw and unfiltered delivery adds to the authenticity of the message, making 'Dat $tick' a compelling commentary on the struggles of the disenfranchised and the lengths they will go to survive.
