[Chorus]
The song "I'm a G" by Rick Ross featuring Brisco and Lil Wayne is a boastful track where the artists are flaunting their wealth and power. The first lines of the chorus "I wear the gun like a gurtle, bulletproof car got me feeling like a turtle" set the tone for the song. The use of the simile "feeling like a turtle" highlights the protection and safety that they feel being wealthy and powerful. The artists then proclaim that they are real "Gs" and that nobody knows anything about them. They continue this theme in the verses where they talk about their money, cars, guns, and cocaine business. They are also not afraid to resort to violence to protect their status, with Lil Wayne rapping "I got guns where guns ain't supposed to be."
Brisco's verse describes his criminal activity in detail. He talks about meeting a man with kilograms of illegal substances, and then getting his "weight back" by flooding the streets with it. He brands himself as "the young don" and takes pride in his reputation as "straight gutter 4 real," further emphasizing his toughness and street cred.
Overall, "I'm a G" is a classic example of gangster rap, where artists use their music to boast about their wealth, power, and criminal activity. It's an anthem for those who have made it to the top, and a warning to those who might try to challenge them.
