“P2” by Lil Uzi Vert
The main storyline of “P2” is recognized to be addressed to a lady by the name of Brittany Byrd, whom we can say up to this point is the main love of Lil Uzi Vert’s life. And as can be deduced from the chorus and the beginning of the first verse, their relationship is on the rocks. However, just as much lyrical content is dedicated to detailing the unfavorable state of their relationship as it is to Lil Uzi’s flexin’. In other words, he makes it abundantly clear that he is in fact wealthy and enjoying life accordingly. And in doing so he puts on blasts those who likewise try to flex but are just putting up a front, as they can’t match his income level.
And despite what type of lingering feelings he may have for Brittany, he also lets it be known that he is very much sensually active in the dating game. So conclusively, we can say the two primary themes of “P2” are a tumultuous romantic relationship the vocalist is in as well as his impressive cash flow. And on a more general level, it can be said to focus on his overall disposition towards females.
