The High Life: Hustle and Hedonism in Wiz Khalifa's 'Feels Good'

Wiz Khalifa's 'Feels Good' is a vivid portrayal of the rapper's lifestyle, characterized by relentless hustle, material success, and indulgence in hedonistic pleasures. The song opens with a depiction of his friends driving luxury cars and spending money lavishly, setting the tone for a narrative centered around wealth and success. Khalifa's lyrics emphasize his business acumen and the ease with which he navigates the world of commerce, suggesting that his success is a natural extension of his talents and hard work. The repeated references to 'dough' and 'hustle' underscore the centrality of financial gain in his life, while also highlighting the competitive nature of his environment.

The song also delves into Khalifa's personal philosophy and approach to life. He acknowledges that his lifestyle may not be 'right' by conventional standards, but it 'feels good' to him. This admission reflects a hedonistic worldview, where the pursuit of pleasure and personal satisfaction takes precedence over societal norms and expectations. The imagery of rolling 'O's and cigarillos' and stacking 'dough' to attract 'nymphos' paints a picture of a life filled with excess and indulgence. Khalifa's reference to being a 'hungry shark' who 'wants it all' further illustrates his insatiable drive for success and the lengths he is willing to go to achieve it.

In the latter part of the song, Khalifa's lyrics shift to a more introspective tone, as he reflects on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living in the moment. The line 'I could be gone tomorrow, that's why I grind like it's my last day' encapsulates this sentiment, suggesting that his relentless hustle is driven by an awareness of life's impermanence. The song concludes with a series of boasts about his prowess and success, reinforcing the themes of ambition and hedonism that run throughout the track. Overall, 'Feels Good' offers a glimpse into Wiz Khalifa's world, where the pursuit of wealth, pleasure, and personal satisfaction reign supreme.
