In 'GATTI' by JACKBOYS, Pop Smoke, and Travis Scott, the artists boast about their luxurious lifestyles, street credibility, and tough personas. The track features a prominent UK drill beat produced by 808Melo, and its lyrics create a gritty, braggadocious, and energetic atmosphere, emblematic of Pop Smoke's Brooklyn roots and Travis Scott's Houston influence.
The song begins with a charged and assertive energy, reflecting Pop Smoke's affirmation of his identity and his territory. There's a sense of pride in where he's come from, and as Pop Smoke describes moving through his neighborhood, the listener can sense his control and dominance within this space. He's not just part of the environment but an influencer of it, undeterred by competitors or imitators.
When Pop Smoke mentions his companion's loyalty and preparedness — illustrated by a Louis bag containing an 'extendo' — there's a shift to a more materialistic and hedonistic pride, where luxury and readiness for conflict intersect. These lines reflect a celebration of success juxtaposed with the readiness to protect it.
Travis Scott's verse introduces a different emotional layer, switching focus from assertive bravado to the more introspective aspect of their lifestyle. The mention of ducking away and taking chances suggests a story of evasion and the navigation of pitfalls within the fast-paced environment they inhabit. It's a complex mix of vigilance and indulgence, which Travis Scott delivers with a moody charisma.
The song's chorus, dominated by the repeated line 'My bitch love coco,' serves as an anchor point, a repeated affirmation of the lavish and unapologetic lifestyle they're exulting in. The 'coco' reference might symbolize a companion's taste for the grandeur or a veiled reference to drug culture. Each repetition of the chorus reinvigorates the song's swaggering essence and highlights a shared connection between the artists and their tastes.
"Trap House Mob"
Trap House Mob is a UK drill production crew that 808Melo is a part of, emphasizing the connection to the UK drill scene which heavily influences the song's beat and aesthetics.
"And I'm in that Bugatti, movin' too hotty"
Pop Smoke highlights the extreme luxury and high-speed lifestyle he lives, as underscored by the Bugatti, a symbols of opulence and performance.
"Young La Flame, how it moves, Pop Flare how it"
Travis Scott calls himself 'Young La Flame,' a moniker indicating his energetic and incendiary style, while 'Pop Flare' may refer to Pop Smoke's explosive entrance into the rap scene, as well as possibly alluding to Ric Flair.
"And she got a Louis bag (Yeah), that hold the extendo"
Luxury meets utility in this line, as the Louis Vuitton bag, a symbol of wealth and status, is used to carry an extended firearm magazine, suggesting a blend of high fashion with street readiness.
