So comprehensively, we can say that this is a song which is reflective of prominent factors in Lil Uzi VertвЂ™s life at the time he wrote.В He was in a serious yet troubled romance with a certain lady, whom he respects and loves enough to actually namedrop.В He was also dealing with an affliction akin to general depression and related issues.В Additionally, we all know Uzi Vert is quite paid. Instead it just serves the purpose of helping to alleviate his depression. Uzi Vert is DepressedДЄnd as for the final theme, that would be his depression.В So going back to the statement that all his friends are dead, it is literal in the sense that many of homeys have in fact been fatal victims of street violence.В But it is also his way of saying that he is not looking for any new homeys neither.В Rather, as stated earlier, he is cool with his wealth serving the role of a faithful companion.Д«ut said wealth does not mean he doesnвЂ™t suffer from his fair share of mental issues.В Indeed at the end of the first verse he admits to being a user of a very dangerous drug which many abusers utilize as a form of stress relief.В And that is the same manner in which the rapper is using it, to вЂњhelp the painвЂќ and вЂњmake it go awayвЂќ.В However, he also contends that he is not an addict.

For instance, itВ has been put forthВ that said вЂњdead friendsвЂќ is actually a reference to dead presidents.В Such is a popular colloquial term for dollars, which tend to feature the images of deceased American presidents on the monetary notes.В Or looked at through a different lens, money has taken on the role of friends in Uzi VertвЂ™s life.В And indeed throughout the song he makes numerous references to his wealth, perhaps even more so than the aforementioned relationship with Brittany.

This statement actually lends to the other two themes of this track, which are UziвЂ™s wealth and his depression.В You see this term is meant to be more metaphorical than literal.

Now also in the chorus, the rapper states that вЂall his friends are deadвЂ™. In fact at the beginning of the first verse a brief story is told where вЂњBrittany got madвЂќ and almost dumped him.В And apparently this was due to Uzi Vert being sensually intimate with some random chick.

The above is not to imply that Lil Uzi was the good guy in the relationship. It should be noted that Lil Uzi himself had confirmed that said deception was not based on her cheating.В But either way, as a result of being hurt so, he likewise caused her significant emotional pain.В And honestly, the way the lyrics read is as if she is actually threatening to take her own life as a result.В So the popular hypothesis is that Uzi was on the verge of dumping her.В And in response she let him know that if he actually did so,В she would commit suicide.
