On Me (feat. Lil Wayne)
Tyga
Swagger and Success: Tyga and Lil Wayne's Anthem of Confidence
Tyga's track "On Me (feat. Lil Wayne)" is a bold declaration of self-assurance, success, and the high life. The song opens with Tyga's assertive command to "shut the fuck up," immediately setting a tone of dominance and confidence. He boasts about his achievements, comparing his aim to shooting for the stars and raising the bar above his peers. The lyrics are filled with references to luxury items like Chopard watches and high-end cars, symbolizing his wealth and status. Tyga's mention of sliding on the block like a go-kart and his A&R still having an AR adds a layer of street credibility and toughness to his persona.
The chorus reinforces the theme of self-reliance and vigilance. Tyga warns against bringing negativity around him, emphasizing his readiness to defend his position. The imagery of having ice (jewelry) and a pack (drugs) on him, along with a Benz and a Bimmer, paints a picture of a life filled with opulence and constant preparedness. The line "Like an eyepatch, one of you gon' see" suggests that anyone who underestimates him will soon realize their mistake.
Lil Wayne's verse continues the theme of living large and staying true to oneself. He describes his lifestyle with vivid imagery, mentioning two women he calls "one and only," and smoking a blunt in a gesture of world peace. Wayne's lines about being rich since the age of twelve and breaking down a desert to a sand drill highlight his long-standing success and ability to overcome challenges. The repeated assertion that it's "money over bitches, not the homies" underscores the loyalty and priorities in his life. The song concludes with a mutual admiration between Tyga and Lil Wayne, celebrating their originality and influence in the rap game.
