DEALER (feat Future & Lil Baby)
RMR
The Highs and Lows of a Dealer's Life
The song "DEALER" by RMR, featuring Future and Lil Baby, delves into the complex world of drug use and dealing, exploring the psychological and emotional impact it has on those involved. The lyrics paint a picture of a lifestyle that is both glamorous and dangerous, highlighting the seductive allure of drugs and the power they have over individuals. The repeated references to various prescription drugs such as Percocet and Xanax, as well as codeine, suggest a numbing of emotions and an escape from reality that these substances provide. The artist acknowledges the addictive nature of these drugs while also pointing out the paradox of being a dealer who is not immune to their effects.
The song also touches on the consequences of this lifestyle, with lines like "But you ain't gon' see tomorrow" hinting at the fatal risks associated with drug abuse and dealing. The mention of living 'lawless' and the imagery of dropping packs in the projects paint a vivid picture of the illegal activities and the disregard for the law that often accompany the drug trade. The artists portray themselves as powerful figures within this world, yet there's an underlying sense of foreboding and the potential for downfall.
The chorus, which includes a plea for divine intervention against enemies and a reference to the hymn "Amazing Grace," adds a layer of complexity to the song. It suggests a yearning for redemption and a recognition of the moral and spiritual conflict inherent in the life of a dealer. The song is a candid reflection on the highs and lows of a lifestyle that is fraught with peril, both physical and moral, and the internal struggle of those who find themselves caught in its web.
