Less hesitant, Uzi now seems to celebrate the same sentiments he was originally concerned with. The pain that comes with a real relationship, with having to deal with a real human being, is too difficult to handle.Īs Uzi enters the second chorus, there is a noticeable change in his tone. If love will not save him, perhaps chasing his more base desires will. Money, sex, drugs, and a quick escape from pain become the focus for the young Trap Star. Lil Uzi Vert then begins his first verse heading in a different direction. He is focused on the materialistic trappings that his music career can potentially afford him. He momentarily shifts back to his romantic focus, Brittany, before realizing that Brittany may no longer consider Uzi “her man.” This repels Uzi back towards his original cravings.

Despite opening with, “I don’t really care if you cry” Uzi closes the chorus by repeating the concerning sentiment, “all my friends are dead, push me to the edge.” His tone and use of repetition suggest that Lil Uzi is not comfortable with Brittany being “not afraid to die” and that he is unwilling to “push her to the edge.” He is replaying the words over again out loud while simultaneously reflecting on them. His initial chorus conveys a noticeable concern for a female companion (Brittany). Entrenched in an existential nihilist stronghold, Lil Uzi is torn between his romantic inclinations and the eccentric lifestyle he is otherwise pursuing. Lil Uzi Vert, otherwise known as Symere Woods, visits a familiar theme on his recent track XO TOUR Llif3.
