Plug Walk

Rich The Kid's 'Plug Walk' is a braggadocious anthem that delves into the rapper's lifestyle, filled with wealth, drugs, and a certain detachment from reality. The term 'plug' refers to a drug supplier, and the 'plug walk' is a swagger-filled strut associated with the confidence of a successful drug dealer. However, Rich The Kid uses the term metaphorically to describe his own success in the music industry and his ability to stay connected with influential figures.

The lyrics boast about his wealth and connections, painting a picture of a high-flying lifestyle that's as unreachable as a 'space coupe'—a futuristic and luxurious vehicle symbolizing his otherworldly success. The song's hook, 'I don't even understand how the fuck my plug talk,' suggests a level of exclusivity and mystery in his interactions, emphasizing the distance between his world and the average person's. The repeated references to material wealth, such as 'Gucci on my shoe racks' and 'big ol' Bentley,' reinforce the theme of luxury and excess.

Rich The Kid also touches on themes of loyalty and street credibility. He talks about cutting off a 'new freak' and staying true to his roots ('stayed down, now the racks up'), suggesting that despite his success, he remains grounded in the principles that got him to where he is. The line 'Fuck 12, I’m a G, ain't no stoppin' me' is a clear defiance against law enforcement (with '12' being a slang term for police) and an assertion of his unstoppable nature. Overall, 'Plug Walk' is a celebration of Rich The Kid's rise to fame, his financial success, and his unapologetic enjoyment of the benefits that come with it.
