Overall Meaning

In "Bank Account," 21 Savage flexes about his hip-hop lifestyle and experiences, counting his wealth, his bling, his expensive clothes, and his harem of women. The first verse starts with 21 going above and beyond to please his women by getting them new cars and going to the mall to buy them anything they want. He talks about leveling up in life so much that people cannot even relate to him anymore. He brags about his weapons and their monstrous nature, and the way his jewelry shines so brightly that it is visible to all. He drops references to fashion brands and his success at Neiman Marcus. In the second verse, 21 Savage is much more aggressive and boasts about his hardened streets background, his murder rates, and his ability to gun down anyone who crosses him. He insults other men who try to be him, saying that they are "lil dogs" compared to him.

The song is characterized by word repetition and sporadic exclamations of "Oh God" while the trap beat pounds in the background. 21 Savage's growl-like delivery somehow blends with the bells and synths to make a song with a haunting effect. The song has grown in popularity and been featured on charts and sports events since it was released in 2017.
