Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Playboi Carti and Kanye’s West ‘Die4Guy’ draws a connection between the artist’s early life experience and their present life, as well as an insight into their personal relationship. Here, Carti expresses his admiration and desire to emulate his brother's lifestyle, who was considered a ‘damn thug’. Carti felt that his brother, Reggie Carter, was living the life he wanted to live, where he could earn quick riches through selling drugs. The song then reveals that Carti's name is derived from his birth name, Jordan Carter.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the commitment that Carti has to protecting his friends and family, as the rapper vows to die for his crew. The lines, “I'm gon' die 'bout my guys” and “This one for all my guys,” demonstrate the loyalty and bond that Carti has with his friends. The rapper also addresses his growing fame, stating that he can no longer be present on Instagram due to the constant surveillance being conducted by the opposition. The artist highlights the danger and fear surrounding his life on the streets and the need to remain cautious at all times. This angst-ridden atmosphere is further accentuated by the explosive drum patterns and bass-heavy production.
