The song "88" by Groove Coverage ft. P.S.Y. is about not wanting to go back to the hood and being judged by people for no valid reason. The lyrics depict how people tend to hate on successful individuals until they achieve something themselves. The artist talks about how people tend to be fake and not honest with their opinions about someone. They will judge and criticize with an undeserved negative attitude until the person they are judging becomes successful, and then they pretend as if they have been supportive all along. Despite this negativity, the artist is confident in themselves and know they deserve their success. They do not want to associate themselves with fake people and strive to move forward.
Furthermore, the artist has incorporated different elements to the song to make it more exciting. The beat of the song is lively and catchy, and the use of slang in the lyrics gives it an edgy feel. The use of the phrase "my six" adds to the song’s urban tone, explaining the need to keep an eye on one's surroundings. The song also features a guitar that contributes to the song's upbeat tempo, making it a perfect song for dancing or partying.
