In this part, Rocky is venting about how people act weird once fame and money are involved. He talks about others doing too much just to get attention, especially when they don’t really matter.

At the same time, he knows his status still attracts women and attention. He points out how people pray for both his failure and success, which feels fake and disrespectful. Rocky makes it clear he tries to block out that negativity. He questions why others focus on small, broke issues while he stays focused, present, and confident, showing off his success even when things around him feel destructive.
