Verse 1
Goddamn, lil' bitch on that coke like Montana
I'm on hydrocodine, I'ma float like a phantom
Baby need some protein, work her out like a dancer
I got all the hoes and the snow just like Santa
In this opening verse, Cico sets the tone with bold imagery. He compares a girl to Montana, a nod to drug culture, while mentioning his own use of hydrocodone, giving off a laid-back but edgy vibe.

Verse 2
Mane, that boy lil' boogie dawg ass got no manners
Yeah, you got some ass but I can't fuck 'cause I got standards
Don't watch me, better watch TV, yo' bitch might change the channel
She was finna tell you she in love wit' me but I don't think you can handle
Here, Cico shifts gears slightly, calling out someone who lacks respect. He asserts his own standards, making it clear that he’s selective about his partners.

That boy bad news, he a menace to society
Everybody a rida but I ain't had nobody ride for me
Everybody looking out but ain't nobody had a eye for me
Shit ain't even that deep and you still chose to lie to me
In this verse, Cico reflects on trust and betrayal. He feels isolated despite being surrounded by people who claim to support him. The line about being a "menace to society" speaks to a tough persona, but it also shows vulnerability as he admits to feeling let down.

Mane, I might drop a deuce off purples stuff up on my Fanta
I can't leave the crib unless I know I got the blammer
Hit her wit' the hammer, if I don't she throw a tantrum
Go on, bend it over, make it clap, this yo' anthem

Baby need some protein, work her out like a dancer
I got all the hoes and the snow just like Santa
And we keep the sticks and the smoke, who want cancer?
Knocking at that door, lil' nigga, you gon' get a answer
Goddamn, baby, you got cakes like a pampa
