Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A$AP Rocky feat. Florence Welch's song LVL are complex and multifaceted, incorporating themes of gun violence, materialism, and ambition. Rocky begins by declaring himself a "pistol popper," suggesting that he is a threat to his enemies and capable of violence. He boasts about his new wealth and the women who are now attracted to him, suggesting that life is good now that he has money. However, underlying this bravado is a sense of insecurity, as he questions what he is supposed to do with all this newfound wealth and attention.

Rocky goes on to address the criticism he has faced for his affiliation with the Illuminati, suggesting that he is unfazed by the rumors and that he and his crew are trill-maluminati. He again emphasizes the danger he poses to those around him, with his "shootas" and "tool" always at the ready. Finally, he proclaims his dominance over his enemies, declaring himself the king and insisting that everyone hail him.

Overall, the lyrics to LVL can be read as a critique of the violent and materialistic culture of hip hop, while also acknowledging Rocky's own complicity and desire for success.
