RIP ROACH (feat. XXXTENTACION)

Ski Mask The Slump God's 'RIP ROACH (feat. XXXTENTACION)' is a high-energy track that delves into themes of street life, resilience, and the harsh realities faced by those in the rap game. The song opens with a repetitive, almost hypnotic chant, setting a chaotic and intense tone. This is quickly followed by Ski Mask's rapid-fire delivery, filled with vivid imagery and braggadocious lines. The mention of 'cocaine for my breakfast' and 'pistol ambidextrous' paints a picture of a lifestyle steeped in danger and excess.

The collaboration with XXXTENTACION adds another layer of rawness to the track. XXXTENTACION's verse is equally aggressive, with lines like 'XXX on a killstreak' and 'you pussy niggas Rice Krispie' showcasing his unfiltered approach to lyricism. The references to video games like GTA and the violent imagery underscore the chaotic environment the artists navigate. The repeated line 'Mama raised a soldier, not no bitch' serves as a mantra of resilience and toughness, emphasizing the need to stay strong in the face of adversity.

The song also pays homage to fallen friends, with the repeated 'RIP, my zoe' highlighting the loss and mourning that come with street life. This adds a layer of vulnerability to the otherwise aggressive track, showing that beneath the bravado, there is a recognition of the harsh realities and losses that come with their lifestyle. The closing lines, filled with playful yet boastful imagery, bring the song full circle, ending on a note of defiant pride and unyielding spirit.
