Megan Thee Stallion, Cobra | Song Review 🎵

Grammy-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion shares about her depression and pain on her enjoyable, though slithery 🐍  single, “Cobra.” 

“I’m killin’ myself when bitches would die to be me.” Now that’s a mic-drop moment, 🎙️ Megan Thee Stallion.  Produced by 🎛️ Bankroll Got It, Shawn “Source” Jarrett, and Derrick Milano, her latest single, 🎵 “Cobra” features intense production, which blends hip-hop and some rock cues. The fuel ⛽️ is there for the fire 🔥, that’s fo’ sho’! As always, Thee Stallion’s flow is agile.  More notable than the flow, however, is what she raps about. Megan opens up about being depressed despite the fact that she’s blessed financially (“How can somebody so blessed wanna slit they wrist”). 🎙️ Post Malone once described it as rich and sad.

In the second verse, Megan continues to reflect on her pain and depression, asserting, “Never thought a bitch like me would ever hit rock bottom.” Also, in the same verse, furthering the pain, she “Pulled up, caught him cheatin’, gettin’ his dick sucked in the same spot I’m sleepin’ / Lord, give me a break, I don’t know how much more of this shit I can take.” Woo! There’s a lot to take in on the verses, but the chorus definitely embraces that cobra 🐍 mindset: “This pussy depressed, hmm, I’m about to stress him, yeah / Pink nails 💅 ‘round his neck, huh, but this ain’t domestic.” The personal nature of 🎵 “Cobra” helps to make it another successful record for Thee Stallion.  She doesn’t sacrifice her bite or toughness, but she also shows a more vulnerable side – she has feelings and pain, too, celebrity be damned!
