Say It In Tory Lanez song “Say it” explains a situation where he is trying to impress a female by lying about not only his lifestyle but also about the amount of money he possess. Not only is he being deceptive of these things the young lady whom he is trying to make an impression on only shows interest in him because he has “money”. Tory is suspicious that this female is more interested in the car and false fame than him. She’s laying on the flirty behavior to get to what she truly wants which is not Tory at all. He wants more than nice words “more than just say it”(A-Z Lyrics) and flirting “less when you do it”(A-Z Lyrics). Tory is hoping that she will prove herself to be more than just a gold-digger. In this essay, I argue that having money will change someone’s perception of you and it will also lead you to being attracted to someone for the wrong reasons. With this in mind in the introduction of the song he makes a statement saying “Just keeping it honest, you wouldn’t want a young nigga if I wasn’t whipping this foreign, so I came back top …show more content…
The mindset that the female has in the song is that in order for her to be set in life she needs to be with someone who will be able to provide for her and once she saw that tory had “come up” in the world she made him her first victim. She then made it her job to flirt excessively in hopes that she will be wined, dined and spoiled. When the entire time if she would have never seen tory actually driving the car she still wouldn’t have given the time of
The song is set around Chief keef being on the phone and talking to a woman, he refers to the woman on the song as a bitch, hoe, and thottie. The word thottie is derived from the word thot, which is an acronym for “that hoe over there”. The song states “You wanna Glo up, baby, Keef got you/You's a gold bottle, these hoes pink Moscato/Baby I'm the owner, you can be my castle”. This line right here compares the woman to other women by saying she is a better bottle of liquor than other women and calls her his property when he says you can be my castle. Then he goes on to say in the song “ Baby cause I like you/Only reason I text you and why I Skype you/I just wanna fuck on you, I don't wanna wife you/But you gotta brush your teeth and do what I say though/(Hello?)/Bitch can you hear me?/Keep your pussy in park, no 360... I don't wanna smell you/Cause I'ma cut/you off, quicker than I met you/I'ma swipe your name up off my schedule/And if smoke this blunt, girl, I'm gon' forget you”. The lyrics basically says the women is just there for his sexual pressure and he does not plan on making her more than that; he also tells the women that he has to be the one in control if she wants to continue this relationship; then he tells her, he will completely stop communicating/seeing her, if she does not do what he wants her to do and she can be
In the day and age where online dating and meeting is becoming more common, it’s easy to alter how you are perceived. You can disclose details about yourself you believe are attractive and withhold/hide information about yourself you believe other people would reject you for. The Lenient Thesis provides that it is only a minor wrong to deceive another person into sex by misleading them about certain personal features such as natural hair color, occupation, or romantic intentions. This thesis does exclude run-of-the-mill deception like someone’s sexual history, t.v show preferences, or how funny one finds the other. In “Sex, Lies, and Consent”, Tom Dougherty seeks to argue against the lenient thesis, and instead that deceiving another person
The world in which Lily grows up in is one where money is the standard by which everyone is judged. In a setting like this, “money stands for all kinds of things- its purchasing quality isn’t limited to diamonds and motor cars” (Wharton 66). Therefore, even small things such as the way a person dresses or the places someone frequents become of high importance as they are representative of how much money a person possesses. This materialistic tendency ...
In ‘The Great Gatsby’ Fitzgerald criticises the increase of consumerism in the 1920s and the abandonment of the original American Dream , highlighting that the increased focus on wealth and the social class associated with it has negative effects on relationships and the poorest sections of society. The concept of wealth being used as a measure of success and worth is also explored by Plath in ‘The Bell Jar’.

The first example of the belief that money can buy his happiness is when Nick Carraway describes the West Egg, where he lives. The houses are very luxurious but there is a distinction
The pursuit of money and the corruption of those who aim wealth, are the main subjects of critique in books like: “The Great Gatsby” and “Motorcycle Diaries”. These books present different visions of the effects the use of money have, and the social condition of “wanting more than needed”. This condition has the power of turn one simple and non-important object, into something important that could even seem vital for us. In our society, and the societies presented in Fitzgerald and Guevara’s books, money means more than a piece of paper or metal that it is supposed to make easier the exchange of things. People do not control the money, is money the one who control us. Hard cash and capitalism work by the usage of our vanity to sell us different products. It works by telling us that, what we have is not, and may never be, enough. This ideas implant a need of establishing a perpetuation of our sense of superiority. In the books “The Great Gatsby” and “Motorcycle Diaries” the reader is able to realize the repercussions the...
From dreams deferred to identity affirmed Lorraine Hansberry’s, “A Raisin in the Sun,” presents readers with many differing themes.

From Walter Lee with his matching societal views that a man should be able to provide whatever his family needs or wants to Lena whose views are a biased compilation of her late husband’s behavior and her own ideals, that a man should maintain his honor and protect his children’s dreams.
Money can’t bring someone happiness and love.There is more to life than money.People use wealth to get people to like them.
“Wealth, as a byproduct of fame, provides immediate, tangible evidence of celebrity’s distinction and staying power. Fame’s windfall goes a long way in lifting financial burdens, opening the celebrity to experiences that are special. Money is no longer a “worry,” and provides “the glory side, the financial side of being famous.” Some celebrities go from “not being able to afford a home,” to multi-million dollar contracts. They are our royalty.”, according to Donna Rothwell’s essay “Being a Celebrity; A Phenomenology of Fame”(Rothwell page 191).Basically, wealth dissolves the concern regarding financial status that the average citizen feels 24/7.Like most people, to acquiring such assets does provide a sense of a luxurious life. It is
Rap music has given me personally something to look up to. Not a role model but hope of continuing my dreams because rappers successfully made it. “For what’s money without happiness, or hard times without the people you love” is from a song called “Love Yourz” by J. Cole. He clearly understands how there is “beauty in the struggle and ugliness in the success” because he’s lived that life. Other songs such as “2Face” or “The Autograph” were instantly relatable to me because he has been through several struggles from the beginning of his childhood. Cole’s father left when he was six leaving his mother and younger brother alone. Cole became “the man of the house” but becoming a rapper is not as easy as it seems. Cole’s messages in these two songs are relative because I too, have had several issues with my mother and father creating a sense of lonesome. Hearing music like Coles helped me overcome my
“Money is the root of all evil”(Levit). Man and his love of money has destroyed lives since the beginning of time. Men have fought in wars over money, given up family relationships for money and done things they would have never thought that they would be capable of doing because of money. In the movie, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, the author demonstrates how the love and worship of money and all of the trappings that come with it can destroy lives.

In Coldplay’s song, “Paradise”, the songwriters use exaggerative language, personification, and rhetorical techniques to tell the story of a little girl’s escape from the harshness and disappointment of reality. The listeners of this song are treated to a beautifully written story about a girl’s maturity through the struggles and disappointment that life has offered to her. Some of the most effective ways that the songwriters explain the plight of the girl are when they attach the listener emotionally with her plight through their use of exaggerated language and personification. Ultimately, the girl copes with her situation and shows signs of maturity; which, enforces the emotional connection that the audience feels with her.

“In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women,” a quote said by the infamous Tony Montana in Scarface. Fancy cars, big houses, fur coats, and diamond studded everything seems to attract almost everyone. Movies and TV shows do a great job of showing that this appealing type of life comes with a price, and all that you have to pay to live it. Although these movies are entertaining, they argue that too much greed and materialism can be your downfall.
