But honestly, this is a drippy, flex joint, and the aforementioned ‘bridge,’ continued below, confirms such: “…And a bad bitch to cook, nigga lookįuck a book, I never read, everything I got, I took As for the second, it’s all of three lines long, and those three lines are ambitious, confident, with one line acknowledging blessings. There are two verses, with the first being the longest, yet lacking much substance. Prior and after that, “All I Want is a Yacht” is all over the place regarding form, beginning with a pre-chorus of sorts, followed by a refrain (or chorus, if you wish?) that is later varied. Bridge is arguably the best name for the particularly aforementioned section because it occurs only once the entire song.

One of the most notable lines from the chorus references the late XXXTENTACION who was murdered at just 20 years old in 2018. My dawg didn’t make it to 21, so I gotta make it past 24.” People gettin’ killed through the peephole Of course, Curry isn’t outshined in the least by the production, serving as the force that makes “Speedboat” the superb record that it is.įollowing a dramatic intro, he unveils the simply glorious chorus that slaps the first time you hear it: “Big talk, speedboat Rahj gives Curry a badass backdrop to spit over, including the piano lines and the beat.
