Lyrics AnalysisPost Malone – Too YoungBY TUFAN BUTUNER

Intro + Hook The intro is the name of the

song and is followed up by the hook where he repeats that he doesn’t want to die too young. He also says I’ve been grinding way too long. This means that

he has worked too hard to reach his position and would

not like to die anytime soon as he is in a very good place.

Verse 1 In this verse, Post continues to boast

about his success. “Came up, don’t know, I just keep going with the flow”, this shows that he isn’t aware of how

he got so big however he isn’t complaining and continues to do the

same thing. He continues to brag about how much money he makes,

“hold that guap like a register”, “Like I’m cash out”, “running and grab the dough”, “This shit never minimal”.

This fits the codes and conventions of the RnB/Hip-Hop genre as he boasts

about money.

Verse 2 His lyrics continue to conform to the typical codes and conventions of the RnB/Hip-Hop genre as he brags “My whip fast, my bitch bad”, “bitches

they watching me go”, “Pull up in a Porsche”. This represents his personality and shows that he

devalues women and only cares about himself and his riches. He then

progresses to the Hook for the last time.

Conclusion What I have gathered from his lyrics

is that he is enjoying his current lifestyle and does not want it end. He is currently 21 years of age and

is young and reckless, his music journey is still in early stages so he wants it to continue. In this song

particularly, there is no narrative or deep meaning, he brags about his

success and fame and fits the conventions of the genre.
