Interesting facts and trivia about RAPSTAR. By Songfacts®.

"RAPSTAR" is a braggadocios track where Polo G boasts about being a "rapstar" while lamenting that despite his riches he's still not happy. "It's about the ups and downs of this lifestyle," he told Complex. "You know, you can be winning, and even through all of the good s--t that's happening, you can still have those emotional battles."

The Chicago rapper starts off with the chorus where he celebrates the money and luxuries he has earned from his successful career. In spite of all those riches, Polo doesn't have any peace. On the first verse he reveals himself to be lonely. Only b---h I give a conversation to is Siri Perpetually tired. Every day a battle, I'm exhausted and I'm weary And depressed. Make sure I smile in public, when alone, my eyes teary The second verse finds him fearful. Anxiety killin' me, I just want to leave Earth And unable to trust many of the people he deals with. Stabbed me in my back with a clean smirk The overall message behind the song is that there's more to life than fame, materialism, and wealth.

Polo G first teased the then-untitled song in May 2020 via a shorter acoustic version with ukulele player Einer Bankz. The rapper released "Rapstar" on April 9, 2021 as the lead single from his third album, Hall of Fame.
