For The Night (feat. Lil Baby & DaBaby)

Pop Smoke's 'For The Night' featuring Lil Baby and DaBaby is a track that encapsulates the hedonistic and transient lifestyle often associated with the rap scene. The lyrics convey a sense of impermanence and indulgence, particularly in relationships and material wealth. Pop Smoke, known for his deep voice and incorporation of UK drill influences into his music, delivers a narrative of living in the moment, unapologetically embracing the fast life while acknowledging the darker aspects of his past and present.

The chorus 'I did some wrong, but I'm always right' suggests a self-assured defiance, as Pop Smoke reflects on his decisions and actions. He admits to his wrongdoings but stands by his choices, emphasizing his ability to navigate the streets ('I know how to shoot and I know how to fight'). The repeated line 'like a thief in the night' serves as a metaphor for his stealth and discretion in both his personal encounters and perhaps his dealings in the street.

The song also touches on themes of wealth and status, with references to luxury brands and expensive habits ('I flew to Paris just to buy some Dior'). The artists boast about their financial success and the lavish lifestyle it affords them, yet there's an underlying acknowledgment of the volatility of their environment ('I know I ain't goin' so I keep a gun'). The track is a complex blend of bravado and vulnerability, a celebration of success while staying alert to the dangers that come with it.
