The lyrics of “Stuck in the Mud” by Isaiah Rashad with SZA is an introspective song. The song is about being caught in the cycle of drugs, partying, materialism and living a reckless lifestyle, and being unable to break free from it, represented as “stuck in the mud”. The song talks about the different aspects of this lifestyle. The opening lines of the song describe the consequences of the lifestyle of those who live recklessly and try to hide their pain by partying and using drugs. They can lose everything, represented by the “Beemers and Range Rovers stuck in the mud”. The chorus repeats, “Hoes, dreamers, stuck in the mud”, to reinforce the idea that everyone, regardless of their status, can fall into the trap of this lifestyle.
The next set of lyrics speaks about longing for stability and family, while also noting the destructive aspects of the lifestyle such as dealing with damages and consuming turkey bacon and cabbages. The line “Song that'll get ya home my nigga” is symbolic, as it conveys the desire to end the cycle. The reference to the granny whip represents the grasp of the past and the desire to return to a simpler time. The second verse speaks to the impact of drugs and alcohol on decision making, leading to negative consequences, represented by deaths from a gun, and the constantly being drugged out. The song ultimately ends with the chords of “It’s going to be mine.”
