Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chief Keef ft Tyga's song Now & Later depict the lifestyle of the rappers, with references to popping pills, riding around the town in luxury cars, and chasing after money and women. The lines "Clubbin' on big ass trees, Higher than Jack and the Bean, Bitch, now I'm back poppin' beans, And I ain't mixin' that with the Lean" are a reference to using ecstasy (the trees) and avoiding mixing it with codeine syrup (the Lean) which has become popular in hip hop culture. The chorus of the song, "I'm gonna hit that now and later, I'm gonna get money now and later, Shit ain't sweet like now and later" conveys the idea of not delaying the enjoyment of life and money, as it may not be sweet later.

The lyrics also feature the word "thot", which is a derogatory term used to refer to women in a demeaning way. The line "I be fuckin' on thots like I'm a player" is indicative of the rappers' promiscuous behavior and the objectification of women. The repeated line "Thot breaker, thot breaker, thot breaker, heart breaker" emphasizes the idea of breaking women emotionally and sexually.

Despite its controversial content, the song has become popular among hip hop audiences and has been streamed millions of times on various platforms. It has also sparked a social media challenge called the "Now And Later" challenge, where participants film themselves dancing to the song and post it online.
