The song "Slide" by Berner portrays the lifestyle of a drug dealer and the risks involved in his job. In the first verse, Berner expresses his desire to go on a trip and enjoy the summer, but acknowledges the high cost of living his lifestyle, along with the risk of getting caught. He reminisces on the old days when he sold "cream" (drugs) and how it was easier to make money off of that. The chorus "Here's somethin' to slide to" suggests that Berner is providing his customers with good quality drugs, and the phrase is also used as a warning to quickly "slide" away if the "fee ain't right." In the second verse, Berner mentions the level of security he has implemented, including a military scope and his entourage at a distance. He reminisces on how he used to smuggle drugs on planes before 9/11, and how it was easier to travel with drugs at that time. Berner's rough experiences in the game, like facing his own "snakes in the grass" and protecting his lifestyle with a concealed weapon, demonstrate the harsh reality that comes with being a drug dealer. The song ultimately provides a detailed and darker look into the world of drug trafficking.
