Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rae Sremmurd's song Torpedo seem to be a showcase of the duo's talent for wordplay and flexing their material and monetary status. The first verse speaks of how the artists are driven to go after money like a torpedo, and how they feel like they already have enough of it. The second verse furthers this theme of abundance with mentions of multiple houses, a company car with a spoiler, and putting ice on ligaments as a luxury. The chorus repeats the idea of taking off like a torpedo to get money, with the humorous comparison to pockets being too tight like a Speedo.


The bridge of the song provides some introspection, with Swae Lee questioning if it's wrong to prioritize money over other things and boasting of his punctuality and worthiness of investment. Slim Jxmmi then provides a string of references and boasts, such as being comparable to the cartoon character Johnny Bravo and being a wild boy like Steve-O. The final chorus brings back the torpedo and Speedo imagery, with a added mention of getting a woman to perform oral sex.


Overall, the lyrics to Torpedo seem to be a light-hearted celebration of material wealth and a willingness to pursue it at all costs, peppered with witty turns of phrase and pop culture references.

Rae Sremmurd carry an energy that is unmatched by any other group in the game🔥

@thedon0516

There's really not a lot of rap groups left in the modern Era anymore now that I think about it, as far as today. Well not any new ones in the mainstream

@dougedoug2105

Their projects are usually exceptionally produced and sound excellent. They really put out quality rap music for the upper echelon of hip hop music listeners. Their latest album is a vibe and can be played from start to finished without skipping tracks
