Casper

Takeoff's song 'Casper' from the album 'The Last Rocket' offers a glimpse into the rapper's lifestyle and mindset, characterized by luxury, freedom, and introspection. The recurring theme of 'ghost riding the Wraith'—a practice where a driver exits their moving vehicle and dances beside or on top of it—serves as a metaphor for Takeoff's control over his life and career, moving through the world on his own terms while showcasing his success symbolized by the Rolls-Royce Wraith.

The lyrics oscillate between braggadocio about his wealth and possessions, and more reflective moments that hint at deeper thoughts beneath the surface. For instance, Takeoff mentions the police scrutinizing him, a nod to the challenges and scrutiny that come with fame. He also pays homage to his late grandmother and acknowledges those who paved the way for his success, adding a layer of gratitude and respect for his roots amidst the boasts.

Moreover, the song touches on themes of dominance and authority, both in personal relationships and in the broader context of his career. Phrases like 'stay in your place' and 'shut up and stay out the way' emphasize a no-nonsense attitude towards obstacles and opposition. This assertiveness is intertwined with his leisurely contemplation of luxury and success, painting a complex picture of Takeoff's world where personal achievements and challenges coexist.
