You know when you could have said in a lyric
We had a cooler full of expensive beer in the back of the truck
but then a brilliant songwriter wrote this instead:
"Bougie like Natti in the styrofoam, squeek squeeky in the truck bed all the way home.?
See how much more interesting that sounds?
Another example is:
Yeah, I'm just out here living, out here living
Living my best life, aye
And I'm just out here chilling, feeling like a million
Kicking it like it's my birthday, hey
I guess the plain version would be
I'm just having a good time in my front yard, not bothering anybody and I feel great.
It took me 4 listens before I figured out "kickin it like it's my birthday"... the way the rhythm just melted into that, it's such fun ear candy!!!
