King Of Everything
Wiz Khalifa
The Lavish Life of a Self-Made King
Wiz Khalifa's song "King Of Everything" is a bold declaration of his success, independence, and the luxurious lifestyle he leads. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young, wealthy individual who lives life on his own terms. From the very first line, Wiz Khalifa emphasizes his autonomy and dedication to his hustle, waking up and immediately getting to work. The recurring theme of being 'about his paper' underscores his focus on financial success and the disdain for distractions, whether they be people or societal norms.
The song also delves into the hedonistic aspects of Wiz Khalifa's life. He describes cruising in his Chevy, smoking weed, and enjoying the company of beautiful women. The imagery of 'smoking weed when I wanna' is repeated throughout the song, symbolizing his freedom and the carefree nature of his lifestyle. The references to expensive tastes, clubbing, and extravagant spending further highlight the opulence that comes with his success. This lifestyle is not just about material wealth but also about the power and influence he wields, as seen in lines about his 'goons' and the ability to make people run.
Cultural references are also woven into the lyrics, such as the nod to Makaveli, a persona adopted by Tupac Shakur, which signifies a rebellious and influential figure in the rap world. By aligning himself with such a legendary figure, Wiz Khalifa positions himself as a modern-day king in the rap industry. The song is a celebration of his achievements and a testament to his journey from a young hustler to a self-proclaimed 'King of Everything.'
