Not for kids
Explicit language, drug use, infidelity, glorified recklessness
Detailed Analysis
These lyrics from The Weeknd's 'Starboy' contain multiple layers of mature content. There is repeated use of strong profanity including 'motherfuckin'' and racial slurs. Drug use is referenced through the line 'Cut that ivory into skinny pieces / Then she clean it with her face,' which is a clear euphemism for cocaine use, and 'I switch up my cup, I kill any pain' alludes to lean/substance use. Sexual innuendo is present in references to a 'main bitch' and 'side bitch,' implying casual and multiple sexual relationships. The overall tone glorifies extreme materialism, substance use, infidelity, and a reckless lifestyle (e.g., '100 on the dash get me close to God'). The combination of explicit language, drug references, suggestive relationship dynamics, and glorification of dangerous behavior makes this content appropriate only for older audiences.
