Body Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
A quick signal to pay attention before the song starts.

[Chorus]
The chorus talks about the rapper’s life in the streets, his success, and the dangers he faces. He mentions having money and being high on drügs, showing both his wealth and his struggles with addiction. The reference to “bodies” could mean violence he’s seen or been involved in, making it clear that life in his world is dangerous. He also talks about young people losing their lives due to violence, and how stepping over people has become normal, just like shopping. He acknowledges that now that he has money and fame, people envy him, but he doesn’t let it bother him. Before rapping, he was involved in illegal activities, trying to make money with weapons and drügs. His mother warns him to stay away from pills, but he admits that he loves the feeling they give him, showing his addiction. He also mixes drügs with alcohol, which gives him a temporary thrill, but it’s also a way to escape pain. The chorus reflects his success, struggles, and the harsh reality of the life he came from.

[Verse]
The verse gives a deeper look into his past and present. He starts by talking about how he used to be on the streets, looking for trouble, possibly even violence. Now, he has moved up in life, symbolized by him relaxing in the hills. However, he still has friends who are either locked up or lost to the streets, making him emotional as he drinks and remembers them. He talks about how he has power in the streets, able to have people taken out if necessary. If someone isn’t involved in violence, they don’t understand his lifestyle. He remembers when the people around him were real, but now he trusts no one.

Violence is a major theme, as he describes shooting someone in the chest and watching them struggle. He doesn’t show emotions and acts cold-hearted. He questions where his enemies are and says he doesn’t spare anyone—he wants to take them out. He refers to a headshot that drops a person to their knees and describes how paranoia makes him clutch his weapon, even around drug addicts. Despite drinking and using drügs, he won’t let his guard down.

He realizes many people aren’t truly loyal to him. He describes shooting someone and leaving them face down, proving he’s serious about the life he lives. He won’t put down his weapon because the dangers are too real. He expected his crew to handle a shootout properly, but he was disappointed in them. His violence has no limits, and he even mentions shooting up a playground if necessary, showing the extreme and ruthless nature of his environment.

He flexes his success, showing that he carries luxury brands and has risen far above his past. He makes it clear that people either submit to his power or face consequences. If someone disrespects him, he reacts violently. He’s always armed, ready to act, and feared by others. The verse paints a picture of someone who has survived harsh realities, staying solid and never showing weakness.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the themes of success, violence, and addiction. He highlights his wealth and that he always carries cash. He’s under the influence of drügs, which is both a habit and a way to cope with pain. The mention of shooting and bodies reinforces the idea that he’s been involved in violence, whether personally or through people around him. He pays respect to those he’s lost, acknowledging the harsh cycle of street life.

He talks about how people envy him now that he’s successful, but he doesn’t let it affect him. Before rapping, he was making money through illegal means and lived a dangerous life. His mother’s warning about pills shows she worries about him, but he admits he can’t stop because he loves the feeling. He mixes drügs and alcohol, seeking a thrill to escape his struggles. This repetition of the chorus emphasizes his current mindset, caught between enjoying success and dealing with the lasting effects of his past.
