Relax
Bari Lyrics

The lyrics of Bari’s song “RELAX” showcase a celebratory mood while also reflecting on the struggles that the artist has faced. The opening line, “Shit’s fucked, yo / What's up, nigga?” has a deeply confrontational tone to its delivery, as if the artist is confidently striding into the room with the challenges that he has faced head-on. The next lines, “She bounce it back, she bounce it back / She bounce it back, she make it clap, ooh / Don't get too attached, yeah, we on the map / I do the dash, then thumb through the stacks” reflect the success that the artist has achieved despite the obstacles that they have faced. These lines also suggest a party atmosphere with the reference to dancing and celebratory movement. The chorus, “Ooh, you see me, ayy, I'm with my team, ayy, I shine, I gleam / They tried to tarnish me, they failed miserably, ayy / We crossed the border then we went overseas” further emphasizes the artist’s resilience against adversity and the strength of their team. “RELAX” is a song that ultimately speaks to the power of perseverance and triumph over obstacles.
