On "FLOW," IDK paints a vivid picture of the emotional toll of life in the spotlight. Through poignant lyrics, he reflects on the disconnect between external expectations and personal fulfillment. Lines like "Hoping and praying the kids will understand me / Labels is praying and wishing and working for the Grammy" capture the constant tug-of-war between creative integrity and the pressures of commercial success.
As the beat flows effortlessly, IDK's lyrics reveal the challenges of meeting familial and societal expectations. The verse "Granny praying and praying I duck a double whammy / Family happy only when I can come in handy" adds a layer of complexity, showcasing the rapper's internal struggles while navigating a world that often prioritizes utility over understanding.
With its introspective tone and deeply personal lyricism, "FLOW" feels like a natural continuation of IDK's journey post-BRAVADO + INTiMO, where he adeptly balances his duality between bravado and introspection.
