The Ambition and Struggle of Agust D's 'Tony Montana'

Agust D, also known as Suga of the globally renowned K-pop group BTS, explores themes of ambition, success, and the pitfalls of fame in his song 'Tony Montana.' The song's title references the iconic character from the film 'Scarface,' who is a symbol of the rags-to-riches story, but also of the destructive nature of greed and power.

The lyrics express a desire for success and recognition, as well as the internal conflict that comes with it. Agust D raps about wanting more wealth and honor, but also fears becoming a monster who only chases money. He emphasizes the importance of not wishing for others' failure and prioritizes his family, fans, and team.
