BOTTEGA VENETA Lyrics Meaning

[Couplet 1]
He starts by talking to a girl in a flirty, playful way. She already knows who he is, but he still says “nice to meet you,” like it’s part of his smooth game. He warns her not to mix drinks like Hennessy and tequila, probably because things could get messy, but she still shows up looking seductive in lingerie under a fancy fur coat. He’s feeling lost in his thoughts tonight, and without drügs, it’s hard for him to feel alive or enjoy the moment. Deep down, he wants a real connection—he dreams of her being his Beyoncé, like someone special and loyal. He even imagines them together on a tropical getaway. But then he admits he’s still like other guys, wanting her s*xually, just like her social media followers probably do. Even though he’s been with other attractive girls, none of them had the same impact on him. He wants her to open up emotionally before things get dark or complicated. He’s overwhelmed by his feelings and luxuries, and the way she turns him on takes over his mind completely. He can see in her eyes that she’s into it too.

Here, he’s driving fast, probably in a luxury car, fully immersed in this high-speed lifestyle. The girl he’s with isn’t looking for love—she’s more into money, expensive things, jewelry, and showing it off. People around her are jealous, and while she might act tough, all of this pressure and partying has taken a toll on her. Alcohol and pills have hurt her, even if she doesn’t show it openly. Still, they’re out all night, roaming through the city like it’s their playground. He repeats the whole vibe again—fast life, designer fashion, and emotional detachment. The girl stays focused on material things, not emotional connection, and even though she shines in this flashy world, there’s pain hiding underneath all the glamour. The whole thing feels like a cycle of chasing thrills while secretly dealing with damage, all set against a luxury backdrop.

[Couplet 2]
He gets more direct and raw here. He wants to be open and real, just like how her body shows through her transparent dress. He’s been thinking about her for a while, and while other women love him for his laid-back, unbothered vibe, she seems different. He’s physically all over her, and she clearly enjoys it, even though her friends are probably deep into drug use too. He brings up Actavis (a codeine-based syrup), showing that he uses it to numb emotional pain, but she doesn’t seem to recognize the sacrifices he’s made. He compares himself to Rick James, who was known for his wild, chaotic love life and addictions—he’s basically saying he’s doing the same just to escape his hurt. He gives a shout-out to the women who support his music and the real friends who are there when he’s struggling. Then he flexes—he’s been wearing designer clothes and carrying a weapon for a decade, meaning he’s always lived this risky lifestyle. He tells the girl to chill, admire his diamonds, and hints she’s curious if they’re real. Even if she has work early, she’s giving herself to him all night while they ride around in a top-tier Rolls Royce, fully wrapped in luxury.

[Refrain]
Once again, he’s back in the car, speeding through the night, repping the high-end brand Bottega Veneta. The girl still isn’t interested in love—she wants cash, luxury accessories, and the kind of lifestyle that turns heads. But all that glam has a downside. The hate she gets from others eats at her, and she’s already been hurt by too much drinking and pills. Even though they’re out in the city, living fast and wild, there’s an emptiness behind it. The night feels exciting on the surface, but both of them are dealing with deeper issues they’re not really talking about. It’s all about image, money, and escaping reality for a few hours in the bright city lights.
