SAY MY GRACE by Offset (ft. Travis Scott)
“SAY MY GRACE” by Offset featuring Travis Scott is a track that delves into themes of success, struggle, and reflection on past actions and losses.
The chorus, “Make room on my plate, I just said my grace and then I ate”, metaphorically speaks to Offset’s appetite for success and wealth, while also acknowledging a spiritual element, suggesting that his achievements and sustenance are in some way blessed or sanctioned.
The mention of “grace” and “ate” might symbolize his gratitude for his successes and the indulgence in the opportunities and wealth that come his way. However, the line “I took the bodies up out of my closet/I buried ’em deep and they still in the way” suggests a haunting past, indicating that despite his success, there are still unresolved issues or guilt that linger in his mind.
Offset’s verse reflects on various aspects of his life, including his struggles, losses, and questions about faith and destiny. He openly questions God, seeking answers for the hardships and losses he and his community have faced, such as losing loved ones to violence and disease.
Travis Scott, on the other hand, brings in a slightly different perspective in his verse, touching on loss, coping mechanisms, and the pursuit of success. His lines, “Ever since we lost bro, it ain’t really much more I can Take/I pop a ten when it’s late, momma told me to pray,” reveal a vulnerability and a struggle to deal with grief and stress, indicating that success doesn’t shield one from personal pain and struggles.
Both artists, through their verses, provide a glimpse into the complexity and duality of their experiences in the industry and personal lives
