444 Lyrics – Lithe

444 Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The chorus talks about the flashy lifestyle that comes with success—expensive brands like Birkin and Chanel, luxury watches, and big cars. The line about “444 tats” could symbolize luck or spiritual alignment. Despite all this wealth, there’s still mistrust, as seen in the mention of someone checking his phone. The rapper reflects on how things have changed from uncertain days to living lavishly. However, he warns about being cautious with words and actions. The “bitter-sweet” nature of success is highlighted—while he enjoys luxury, his close circle moves differently, staying real despite fame.

[Verse 1]
This verse gets deeper, touching on the emotional and mental struggles that come with wealth and fame. The “bright lights” symbolize success, but things don’t feel the same anymore. He acknowledges that money brings changes, but it also brings problems—trust issues, fake people (“demons in the details”), and a lack of real connections. The late-night driving and two phones suggest a busy, high-pressure lifestyle, but despite everything looking “picture perfect,” there’s uncertainty. The “tall grass” and “snakes” metaphor means he’s wary of betrayal. He mentions expensive jewelry (VVS diamonds), which represents his status, but the line about “bleeding” suggests that behind all the success, there’s pain and struggle.

[Chorus]
Repeating the chorus reinforces the same themes—luxury, mistrust, and change. The focus is on material wealth, but underneath, there’s a sense of disconnection. The artist warns against fake loyalty and emphasizes that he and his team have a different mindset, staying true to themselves. The repetition also highlights how, despite having everything he once dreamed of, there’s still an underlying emptiness.

[Outro]
The outro repeats the chorus once more, almost like a final statement on his reality. The expensive lifestyle remains, but so do the doubts and warnings. The phrase “lifestyle bitter-sweet” sums it up—money and fame bring comfort but also challenges. Trust issues, changing relationships, and the pressure to maintain success all play a role. The final emphasis on moving differently suggests that while many get lost in the fake aspects of fame, he and his close friends choose to stay authentic.
