In the chorus, Real Boston Richey talks about his fast-paced life, moving solo and stacking money.

The verse reveals the dangers and stress in his life, as he’s always strapped (“clutching on the poley”) for protection. He also mentions how women are after him for money, making it clear that he doesn’t chase relationships. He’s unapologetic, stating that he doesn’t try to please women or people in general.
