Its simple. They rap about living lives they not only donât but in many ways canât. As long as they do that, the life they rap about will remain out of reach, making all their money and fame feel pointless, like its not enough despite being more than most have. They can never be satisfied.
âHow many times have you heard someone say âIf I had his money, I could do things my wayâ?
But little they know that itâs so hard to find One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.â -Bob Dylan
