Commentary

Bro, these peeps are totally trapped in this endless cycle of wanting stuff. They're all about lust and rage, no cap. They'll do anything, even straight-up rob and murder, to get more money for their next flex. It's all about the drip, not doing the right thing. They're ruthless, no mercy. They're chained to this hundred different hopes, always craving more. Their minds are flooded with desires, and when they don't get what they want? Total meltdown. They get rich by any means necessary, even if it's sus. Hope keeps them stuck in this endless loop, like, forever. It's a rope that binds them. They're never satisfied, no matter how much they have. It's a never-ending cycle of wanting more. These people are straight-up victims of their own greed.
