Sugar Wraith
Post Malone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I started with an eighth, alright (alright)
And then I went and changed my life (my life)
I might take out the Wraith tonight (tonight)
Put your arms around me baby
I just want to fly, make it last before we die
And I know you want a ride
What's on your mind? What's on your mind?

And my '92 got doors like my Lambo
Spend my last paycheck on some ammo
We don't follow trends, rest in peace to Yamo
Your new shit sucks, I feel like Anthony Fantano
Saying I was broke last year, I can't go back there
Nicotine fiend, couldn't even buy a pack, yeah
She don't know my music, told her I ain't mad, yeah
Let her cut that coco on my platinum plaque, yeah (wow)
Cut my fingers on my bands, oh yeah
Cut my locker with some Xan, oh yeah
Count me my guala in advance, oh yeah
Backstreet diamonds, watch them dance on ya, yeah

I started with an eighth, alright (alright)
And then I went and changed my life (my life)
I might take out the Wraith tonight (tonight)
Put your arms around me baby
I just want to fly, make it last before we die
And I know you want a ride
What's on your mind? What's on your mind?

She don't want to spend all my dough
She gets paid to be a model
I take the lead, they just follow
Face it, you don't know what I know
Pull up, I got some' for ya
Something in my trunk for ya
But I got a good lawyer
They always try to come for ya

I'ma pull up in that Bentley with the fuckin' windows tinted
Depending how I'm feeling, take a drop of the extended
Think I'm showing signs of slowing, homie just forget it
I guess this what happens when you fucking handle business, yeah

I started with an eighth, alright (alright)
And then I went and changed my life (my life)
I might take out the Wraith tonight (tonight)
Put your arms around me baby
I just want to fly, make it last before we die
And I know you want a ride
What's on your mind? What's on your mind?

I was broke last year, I can't go back there
I was broke last year, I can't go back there
Got some lean and I went and lit a match yeah
Try to take the swagger, I know it for a fact

Pull up in that Bentley with the fuckin' windows tinted
Depending how I'm feeling, take a drop of the extended
Think I'm showing signs of slowing, homie just forget it
I guess this what happens when you fucking handle business, yeah

I started with an eighth, alright (alright)
And then I went and changed my life (my life)
I might take out the Wraith tonight (tonight)
Put your arms around me baby
I just want to fly, make it last before we die
And I know you want a ride
What's on your mind? What's on your mind?

Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song "Sugar Wraith" by Post Malone describes his journey from humble beginnings fueled by an eighth of weed to his current success. He acknowledges the changes that have occurred in his life noting that he might take out his Rolls-Royce Wraith that night. He asks his love interest to put her arms around him as he just wants to fly and live life to the fullest. He goes on to ask her what's on her mind, perhaps suggesting that he wants to know what her intentions are in their relationship.


In the second verse, Post Malone boasts about his wealth and success. He compares his car doors to those of a Lambo and claims that he has purchased ammunition with his last paycheck. He declares that he is different from those who follow trends and takes the opportunity to pay homage to a deceased artist, Yamo. He also makes a reference to music critic Anthony Fantano and how he feels about being criticized. Post Malone reflects on his past when he was broke and supposedly couldn't afford cigarettes, but is now so successful that someone could cut cocaine on his platinum plaque.
