Publish date: 2024-05-08

As the title suggests, "Proud of You" is about supporting and cheering on your friends. In the song, Lil Uzi Vert and Young Thug let each other know how proud they are of one another, while boasting about their money, cars, and jewelry.

"'Uzi, I am proud of you' / I said, 'Slime, I'm proud of you,'" Lil Uzi sings in the chorus (via Genius). Then, he brags about how his new Rolex watch, which Thug seems to appreciate. "He said, 'That's a Rollie kit' / I said, 'This a new Rollie kit.'" Of course, Thug had nice things to say about Uzi, too. In his verse, he calls his friend a "king," while letting him know that he's ready to defend him. "I kill 'bout my dawg, and that's a hands-down / Uzi a real king, somebody pass him a crown."

Friendships clearly mean a whole lot to Thug. In a recent interview with Zane Lowe on "New Music Daily," Thug said he'd do anything for Uzi, as well as other music friends. "I'm ready to die about Future," he said. "I'm ready to die by a Lil Baby, Durk, and Uzi. I'm ready to die by these people." He explained that, although these friendships started in the music business, they mean so much more to him. "I always turn them to family. We don't look at them like a rappers. We all look at each other like brothers and sisters. Bro, we really argue every day, bro."
