Josh! | “On Me”
Josh! explores his feelings in depth via “On Me.” The spacey trap offering, produced by Ryan Palma, embodies the Bay Area rapper’s lyrical shifts when speaking about his vices, love for moolah, and being swooned by a particular lady. Moreover, Josh! makes sure to carry an autotune cadence from start to finish when letting listeners into his world.
In “On Me,” Josh! speaks about being interrupted by a woman shooting her shot. Being a man of his business, Josh! was sitting there counting several blue faces. That is until one beauty popped up in his peripheral vision.
Keeping it 100, he spits
“I was just counting my Guap/Now she here and yea she owning me/That shit is all that I got.”
The lyricist’s honesty is led by bars about his charm and devotion. Elsewhere, he further analyzes the environment he’s in and his mentality.
“And I got these feelings on me/And I got a room full of money lovin’ grinding up an eighth of weed,” he raps. “Most of these women just stare/Honestly just leave it at the/In a boat now feeling oceanless the way I can’t swim and see.”
Amidst the glitz and glam, Josh! showcases how these materialistic items can make one feel more alone than ever. After all, money can’t buy happiness.
Deeper into “On Me,” Josh! hits on a “little baby” who “got a taste like no one.” Additionally, he mentions being a person who lives in the moment and not behind a lens.
“I don’t take pictures man that shit too frozen/Lights and the camera make me bleed that action,” he spits.
The end of this record sees Josh! fighting the darkness with his inner light.
