Sex, Money, Sneakers, airplanes, good reefa, good music, good people, that's all I know

Sex (sex), money (money), sneakers (sneakers), airplanes (airplanes)

No, ain't nobody perfect, but in the end it's all worth it
I been raised in a million churches, but like GLC said
"What am I supposed to do when I feel like I deserved it?"

So I stay fly, till the day I die
'Cause when I die, you know I can't take none of this with me (no-no-no-no-no)
And just like you do I, I got what I buy
Life is just a little more exciting because i'm so addicted to

So keep your eyes open, most of all, I beg you to listen

Sex, money, sneakers, airplanes, good reefa, the music and the people

Overall Meaning

BJ The Chicago Kid's song "Sex X Money X Sneakers" is an ode to the materialistic pleasures of life. In the chorus, BJ sings about the things he knows and cherishes; sex, money, sneakers, airplanes, good reefer, good music, and good people. The first verse sees BJ acknowledging that nobody is perfect, but the pursuit of the things he loves is worth it. He references being raised in many churches, but ultimately chooses to focus on the excitement and addiction of acquiring the things he desires. The second verse is more straightforward in its message; BJ wants to enjoy life as much as he can before he dies because he can't take any of it with him.

The repetition of the chorus highlights the significance that these things hold for BJ. He laces his sneakers to the beat and celebrates the materialistic pleasures that bring him joy. The song is not an endorsement of greed or a life devoid of meaning beyond possessions. Instead, BJ recognizes that materialism can enhance life's enjoyment, and he revels in that.

Overall, "Sex X Money X Sneakers" is a commentary on societal consumerism and the satisfaction that people derive from materialistic gratification. BJ recognizes that these things are luxuries that not everyone can afford, but he still celebrates them, acknowledging the temporary joys they bring.
