Bandit

Don Toliver's 'Bandit' is a track that delves into themes of hedonism, materialism, and the street lifestyle. The lyrics paint a picture of a life filled with excess, where money and substances play a central role. The repeated use of the word 'bust it' serves as a hook, emphasizing the song's focus on action and impact, whether it's in the context of partying, relationships, or flaunting wealth.

The song's title, 'Bandit,' along with references to being a 'psycho bandit' and likening himself to Marilyn Manson, suggests a rebellious and unapologetic persona. Don Toliver is portraying a character who takes what he wants without concern for the consequences, living on the edge and embracing a chaotic lifestyle. The mention of 'sprite and enhance it' and 'perc' like a plan B' indicates the use of drugs to heighten experiences, further underlining the theme of indulgence and living in the moment.

The lyrics also touch on the artist's view of relationships and women, which are depicted in a transactional and dismissive manner. Phrases like 'eat her for dinner or eat her for supper' and 'I just went fucked her and gave to my brother' suggest a lack of emotional attachment and a commodification of sexual encounters. This portrayal is consistent with the bravado often found in hip-hop, where masculinity is frequently expressed through dominance and control.
