What We On Lyrics – JID

What We On Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus: Don Toliver]
He’s talking to a girl who seems to be trying to reconnect or get back into his life. He notices she’s acting like she wants to be part of his current vibe or lifestyle. He’s happy to see her but also hints that she’s usually treated like someone unimportant or overlooked. Things are heating up, both emotionally and physically. There’s a mix of desire and confusion, and even though there’s tension, she’s drawn to him because of the energy they’re on now. The situation’s intense, and he can feel she wants in.

[Verse 1: Don Toliver]
He’s expressing raw desire and physical attraction here. He’s still thinking about the intense connection they had, especially how it started from a rough background like the projects. Seeing her in the club had him stunned and overwhelmed, like he couldn’t control his emotions or reactions. He repeats that her presence or what she gave him had such a strong effect, almost like a drug—something he couldn’t shake off and left him feeling weak and hooked.

[Verse 2: JID]
JID’s dealing with mixed signals from someone he’s talking to. She’s hitting him up, then ignoring him, making him unsure where they stand. He thought people assumed he was caught up with someone else, but he was just high and distracted. His work and lifestyle are kind of trapping him, like he’s on a leash. He wants some clarity while he has the time to figure things out with her.

[Chorus: Don Toliver]
Once again, he’s noticing the girl trying to get back in his space. She’s acting like she wants that same connection they used to have. He’s glad to see her, but there’s still this vibe that she’s not being treated like she matters much. At the same time, she’s throwing herself into the moment, and the emotional “heat” is building up. It’s intense, fast-paced, and slightly messy, but that’s just the state they’re in right now.

[Verse 3: Don Toliver]
He’s saying he just wants to enjoy the moment and see the bright side of life. He’s not stressing over hard days—he’s trying to get things right and stay focused. He’s deep in the grind but still partying and escaping with alcohol and weed. The vibe around him is changing, and even the girl seems to be moving on fast, pulling up in a fancy car and heading to the bank—maybe chasing her own success.

[Verse 4: JID & Don Toliver]
JID starts by talking about his grind—how he’s been hustling hard, making serious money, and always on the move, even flying around. He makes it clear that he’s living a different life now, not like most people. Women come and go, some trying to connect with him physically or emotionally, but he’s not giving all his attention to it. He’s caught up in temptation, living fast, but still aware it’s not love—just what feels good in the moment. He keeps repeating his cycle of mistakes and trying to make up for them, knowing he’s flawed.
He talks about spoiling women he’s involved with, being flashy, and flexing his wealth. One woman in particular is from Senegal, and she wants something serious, but he’s hesitant because he knows the bigger picture, like the story of Adam and Eve—temptation and consequences. He sees the deeper side of things but still enjoys the surface-level pleasures. There’s chaos, but he’s trying to build something real from it, like a new foundation.
He touches on being too wild sometimes, doing too much at once, but also hints that he has a bigger purpose. He’s aware of the unspoken thoughts people carry, and he wants to explore those things deeply. If she follows him, he can take her somewhere meaningful, but he also knows she hates being alone and misses having someone there, even just physically.

[Chorus: Don Toliver]
The same energy continues—he’s asking her again what she’s really about, noticing her wanting to reconnect. She’s chasing the feeling of what they had, and he can tell she’s still drawn to it. He’s caught in the moment too but reminds us that this cycle keeps happening. The vibe is hot, fast, emotional, and messy. There’s passion, but also confusion and a sense that they’re not treating each other with the respect they maybe need.

[Outro: Don Toliver]
He’s saying that the drink—what’s in the cup—matters more than anything else in that moment. It’s helping him escape or numb whatever he’s feeling. He keeps calling for help, maybe in a playful or desperate way, like he knows he’s lost in it but isn’t ready to let go either.
