[Intro]
The intro of the song sets the stage with a shout-out to the producer, Lil Ju, indicating his involvement in crafting the beat, which is crucial for setting the energetic tone of the track.

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Megan Thee Stallion dives into a narrative that challenges traditional relationship norms. She humorously dismisses the idea of her partner being her “bae,” likening him instead to a bidet, a humorous metaphor suggesting a purely physical relationship without emotional attachment. The imagery of waking up with “ass in his face” adds a playful yet explicit touch, highlighting the casual and possibly s*xual nature of their interactions. Megan asserts her autonomy and independence by stating she obeys only when it suits her, establishing herself as the dominant figure in her own life and relationships. She acknowledges her confrontational nature, always ready to engage in conflict (“want smoke like a stoner”) and reflects on past disappointments, realizing she’s often been alone in her struggles despite attempts to fit into social circles. She expresses her unwillingness to engage in slow-paced communication and warns against provoking her into a more assertive mode, indicating she values directness and clarity in her interactions. Megan portrays her partner as an object of disdain in public, openly rejecting any notion of treating him as a prize while suggesting she views him with contempt or indifference.

She accuses her partner of unnecessary dishonesty even when it serves no purpose (“lying to me when he know he ain’t got to”), indicating a lack of genuine communication or emotional connection. Megan describes how she blocks communication with her partner when she’s with someone else, emphasizing the casual and possibly secretive nature of her physical relationships.
