Neon Guts

8th hour speech

2. Introduction
Uzi and Pharrell collaborate to create an ode to their colorful and successful life. Ripe with references to happiness and wealth, Uzi and P bounce off of each other in this gleefully produced track; a nice break from some of the more emotional tracks of Luv Is Rage 2. Throughout the song the word aura is used and it may be confusing if you do not understand what an aura is. The aura consist of seven levels/layers/auric bodies . Each one of the subtle bodies that exist around the physical body, has its own unique frequency. They are interrelated, and affect one another and the person's feelings, emotions, thinking, behavior, and health as well. Therefore a state of imbalance in one of the bodies leads to a state of imbalance in the others.

3. Stanza one
[Intro: Pharrell Williams] Yeah, yeah, yeah And I got a colorful aura like I got neon guts Uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, yeah
In this stanza, this represents a personality who encaptures festivity and fun. Neon is typically really right and comes in multiple shades.

4. Stanza two Me and J Balvin on G5 Success is a drug and man we high
I am OTHER is a beehive
I got love for you haters
Ain't you tired of enslavement?
Come with us, make some paper
Cause you should own what you labor
[Verse 1: Pharrell Williams] Admit it, I move like amoeba I float in the room like I'm reefer Alien, I’m not your kind of people Telepathic, fam watch how I read ya (Skateboard) You ain't got emeralds greener You ain't got rich up the sleeve And I got a Rolls that’s in the Grove That I ain't drove, shit, I don't know the reason (305) Andele, andele, arriba
This verse is about being free and being fun and being yourself. Pharrell alludes to elevating himself above other people whether it is from his wealth and status to being “woke”.

5. Stanza 3 Go M.I.A when I find little Madison
Stay at the Ritz-Carlton, this not the Radisson
Just took a blue one, ’bout to take the red pill
Purple thoughts in my brain, hope it don’t spill
Stay with a nerd just like Urkel, Jaleel
Fresh just like Carlton, I kill em with Will
Big a**"R” on my Smiths
Big a**“R” on my whips
Slip-on shoes, so you won't trip
Said she kinda fine if she got some hips
Momma said, "Let me see the witch
Boy you know light and dark don’t mix
Mix it up, boy, bad luck"
Sick to my stomach with them neon guts
Stanza 3
[Verse 2: Lil Uzi Vert] Yeah, you never stayed in Kailua (Hawaii) I put Chanel on my shooter Flooded my chain and it's Gucci I don't want that girl, she moody I'm basically saying I'm cooler Get Dior discounts from my cougar Back in the sixth grade I got them bad grades I was in love with my tutor See, musically, Lil Uzi trapping man Most of you rappers be actors man
This is talking about how he came from very little, yet is living better and more grand than anyone else. Uzi talked about his experience travelling and expensive brands the typical person can only break their bank to afford.

6. Stanza four
[Chorus: Pharrell Williams & Lil Uzi Vert] Higher than Elon Musk, so high stars eat our dust And I got a colorful aura like I got neon guts Dark energy, we don't touch Our jewelry's beyond Tut And It give a n**** colorful aura like I got neon guts Dark energies, we don't touch Our jewelry’s beyond Tut
Pharrell and Uzi are talking about being higher than everyone else, so high they surpass stars and it is unclear if they are high off substance or the pure fact they are more successful. Dark energies can interfere with personal energy and aura’s electromagnetic energies.

7. conclusion
This song is about positivity and living life which is why it is my favorite song. Neon guts connects to how the artists' personalities and lives are bright. Although not literally dark, dark energy also symbolizes the negativity in the world that Pharrell and Uzi avoid, in contrast to the bright and colorful life they live.
