He hints at being one of the top people in his field but feels that others don’t give him the recognition he deserves. He’s unapologetically speaking his mind and showing that he’s in a position where he can say what he wants without worrying about the consequences.

[Chorus]
DDG talks about his wealth and success, mentioning how he’s putting money into his car and driving around in a Maybach. He emphasizes the need to stay protected, referring to being armed because of his status and the enemies he might have. Back home, people claim to know him, but he remains distant, not acknowledging fake friendships. He’s frustrated by others trying to copy his success in the music world and feels like people hate on him because he’s able to adapt to any situation. He’s also tired of being tested, warning others not to push him too far. He mentions how he lives in a big mansion but feels trapped by people’s behavior, and he only wears black clothes, claiming it’s not about race but his personal style.

[Verse 1]
DDG reflects on his past and his lifestyle, describing a carefree time in college where he was involved with women and wasn’t afraid to stand his ground in tough situations. He flaunts his wealth with expensive clothes and shows no attention to haters, who are far behind him. He talks about traveling to Paris and being ahead of everyone else, even enjoying attention from women. He gets angry when faced with competition, making it clear that if someone tries to go against him, they’ll lose. He also admits to purposely messing with other people’s relationships as a way of asserting his dominance.

[Interlude]
This short break in the song is just DDG repeating “yeah” as a hype chant, reinforcing his confidence and adding energy to the track.

[Verse 2]
DDG expresses the importance of standing out and staying fresh in the music industry, changing up his style and flow so he doesn’t get bored. He criticizes someone for staying with a girl who has a reputation from an adult site, indicating he’s not impressed by their choices. He compares himself to a superhero, claiming he’s always adapting and improving. He prefers to work alone, not needing fake friends to get by, and he’s not afraid to confront anyone who’s talking about him. DDG has big goals, knowing that if he doesn’t make a billion dollars, his kids will. He’s focused on his family’s legacy and shows no concern about anything or anyone getting in the way. He mocks others who are boring and claims that his presence and music are a gift, encouraging people to appreciate what he’s doing. He warns others to stop talking too much or they’ll disturb his peace, like waking up his son. He describes his life as being hot, comparing his energy to a sauna, and flexes his expensive taste in fashion, making it clear he’s always ahead of the trends, like at the Met Gala.

[Chorus]
DDG returns to the chorus to repeat his earlier points about living lavishly, staying protected, and being distant from those who claim to know him. He continues to express frustration with people who are trying to take his spot in the music world and acknowledges that he’s adaptable to whatever life throws at him. He warns people to not test his patience and highlights how his mansion may be spacious, but his feeling of being crowded by negativity still remains. His choice of wearing black is a personal style statement, not a racial one.
