SLIDE Lyrics – ¥$, Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign

[Verse 1: Ty Dolla $ign]
In the first verse, Ty Dolla $ign talks about a girl who takes selfies and is attracted to him because of his wealth. He reflects on how, when he was broke, no one was there to help him, but now that he is successful, people can't tell him anything. He mentions Kanye West's musical talent and his own appeal to women, suggesting that if a woman isn't satisfied with her current partner, he could be the one to fulfill her needs. The verse portrays a confident and boastful attitude, emphasizing the singer's newfound power and attractiveness due to his success.

[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
The chorus questions whether the partner would "slide in" and be willing to ride along with the singer. It asks if the partner would be loyal and supportive, ready to join in the exciting but unpredictable lifestyle that comes with being associated with the singer. The repetition of the chorus underscores the central theme of loyalty and commitment in a relationship influenced by wealth and status.

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
In the second verse, Kanye West describes a woman who understands his preferences and joins him in high-rise adventures, likening their escapades to the movie "Eyes Wide Shut." He compares his swift romantic moves to a drive-by, addressing the industry's dislike for him and his resilience against attempts to bring him down. Kanye also references potential violence against anyone who threatens his crew, hinting at the darker side of his lifestyle. He juxtaposes the woman's life as a movie with his own as a sci-fi film, adding a layer of surrealism to their relationship. Kanye's verse continues the theme of living a high-stakes, glamorous life, while also hinting at the underlying dangers and complexities.

[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
The repetition of the chorus in the second instance continues to explore the same themes of loyalty and commitment. It reiterates the question of whether the partner would "slide" into the singer's lifestyle and stay committed despite the allure and chaos. This emphasis strengthens the core message of the song, making the listener ponder the nature of such a relationship.

[Outro: Ty Dolla $ign]
The outro reinforces the question of loyalty, asking if the partner would ride along with the singer. This final section serves to solidify the central theme, leaving the listener with a lingering contemplation of whether a relationship based on wealth and status can sustain genuine loyalty and connection. It underscores the idea that, despite the glamour, the true test of a relationship lies in the partner's willingness to stay committed.
