Right from the start, the song sets an intimate and raw tone as he shares, “I wrote this sittin’ outside the psych ward,” setting the stage for a deeply personal exploration. His lyrics weave through themes of mental health, fame, and the weight of his experiences. Lines like "Cashin' out, I be blackin' out 'cause it keeps the lights on" reveal his battle with finding balance in an industry that demands so much. There’s a sharp edge to his words, especially in “I'm the illest, it's in the air, you should get the Lysol,” adding a sense of urgency and raw power to his flow. The image of needing “new eyeballs” to escape from the pain he’s witnessed is both haunting and memorable. “Crazier” serves as a reflection on his inner world, marked by trauma and resilience. Ab-Soul brings his unique lyrical style and introspection, making this track an unforgettable journey that resonates with listeners seeking authenticity and depth in music.
