Apple Pie

Travis Scott's 'Apple Pie' is a powerful declaration of independence and self-determination. The song's lyrics revolve around rejecting traditional expectations and carving out one's own path. The recurring metaphor of 'apple pie' represents conventional norms and societal pressures, often associated with comfort and tradition. By repeatedly stating, 'I don't want your apple pie, mama,' Scott emphasizes his desire to break free from these constraints and create his own legacy.

The song delves into themes of ambition and success, with Scott reflecting on his journey from humble beginnings to stardom. Lines like 'made it out the spot, straight to Quintana' and 'I make in one appearance what these niggas hatin' makin' in four seasons' highlight his rise to fame and the hard work that got him there. The mention of 'diamonds on my blocka' and '25 lighters on my dresser' further underscores his success and the material rewards that come with it.

Scott also touches on the challenges and obstacles he faces, both from external forces and within the industry. The lyrics 'I ain't tryna dap up niggas blockin' me' and 'I bet they have some backup' suggest a sense of vigilance and the need to protect his position. The song's closing lines, 'Will he make it? Was it worth it? Did he win? Will he survive the Rodeo?' pose existential questions about the cost of success and the ongoing struggle to maintain it. Through 'Apple Pie,' Travis Scott offers a raw and introspective look at his journey, aspirations, and the relentless pursuit of his own 'recipe' for life.
