Ultimately the title of this song is meant to lead us to a handful of metaphors based on how ‘hard’ Lil Wayne is. Moreover as the title implies, this is primarily in the case of the rapper touting his overall resiliency. And Tunechi takes more of an intellectual approach to this particular piece. That is to say that whereas it may possess a generally braggadocious nature, this isn’t a case of Weezy boasting about his wealth. Rather it’s more like he’s reflecting on his life’s journey and presenting himself as someone who is able to stand strong despite various challenges he has faced.
