AboutThis song bio is unreviewedSong Bio1 contributor

The song “ATR for Life” by Rod Wave explores themes of loyalty, street life, and the consequences of violence. ATR possibly stands for ‘Above The Rest’, probably coming from the phrase ‘A Cut Above The Rest’, which is used to describe something of a higher quality than all similar things, essentially saying he is ‘Better than all of the others of its kind; that he is the best in his field. The artist emphasizes the importance of loyalty and the deep commitment to the “war” or street life they are involved in. He has witnessed too many people fall in this lifestyle and is determined not to allow himself to be defeated by his enemies. The artist speaks about money being a driving force, causing even close friends to turn against each other. He highlights the dangerous nature of the streets and advises younger individuals to stay in school rather than getting involved in this lifestyle. Voicing his confidence in his crew and their ability to handle any conflicts, he dismisses the notion of engaging in a war with someone who lacks financial resources and warns against underestimating their abilities. The reference to money being a potential danger suggests that financial power can sometimes outweigh physical strength in certain situations.
