Verse 1
Yeah, we ain't talkin' to your dumbass
You could be a millionaire and still be a bum ass
Boy, I've been in a dream, I've been on a to-
(Don't stop, do-don't stop)
In this verse, Tyler begins with a bold statement, dismissing anyone who doesn’t get him. He emphasizes that money doesn’t equal happiness or fulfillment. By saying “I’ve been in a dream,” he hints at living a life that feels surreal, perhaps because he’s achieved so much yet still feels different from others. The repetition of “don’t stop” adds a rhythmic, almost hypnotic quality, encouraging listeners to keep moving forward.
Chorus
I'll air this bitch out like balloon
I'll send his bitch ass to the moon
I'm at the top, ain't no room (don't stop)
The chorus is catchy and brimming with confidence. Tyler uses the metaphor of a balloon to suggest that he can release pressure or tension with ease. Sending someone “to the moon” implies he’s elevating himself while leaving negativity behind. The line “I’m at the top, ain’t no room” shows he’s reached a peak in his life and isn’t letting anyone in who doesn’t belong there.
Verse 2
Aight, where the swamp is?
Flyest bitch up in the room, I need a cockpit
I need some PETA for this pussy, they want the croc' print
I'm finna air these DL niggas out the closet
Here, Doechii takes the mic, bringing her unique energy. She opens with a playful reference to being “fly,” showing she’s confident in her appearance and presence. The line about needing PETA humorously highlights her bold and unapologetic sexuality. She also addresses the idea of coming out, making a statement about authenticity and the importance of being true to oneself.
Chorus
Can I get a amen? (Don't stop)
(Don't stop)
(Don't stop)
The repetition of “don’t stop” in the chorus reinforces the song’s theme of relentless self-expression. Asking for an “amen” creates a sense of community, as if she’s inviting listeners to join her in celebrating their identities. It’s a rallying cry for those who feel out of place or misunderstood.

I air this bitch out like a queef
I'll see your ass back to the streets

He gon' eat this pussy out, 'cause it's sweet
In the bridge, Doechii continues with her playful and edgy style.

The playful nature of this verse keeps the energy high while reinforcing her sexuality and power.

(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Don't stop)
Yeah, we ain't talkin' to your dumbass
You could be a millionaire and still be a bum ass
Boy, I've been in a dream, I've been on a to-
(Don't stop, do-don't stop)
Okay, look
Why I work so hard? My soul profit
Why I can't settle down? I like options
Why I hate small talk? I like topics
House shoppin', I'm a pig, I love coppin', ugh
No BBLs, I like A cups, ugh
Long legs, pretty when they wake up, ugh
Niggas run they mouth, wanna race up
Everything real here, no lace front, okay
I doze during December, I slay
I don't even like girls, bitch, I'm way up too high
Bitch, I'm on my own dick, I don't need your box, ugh
Fuck them regrets (ugh)
Call them and get all that weight off your chest (huh)
Got my brothers here, we the Wayans
Not my only girl, but you my favorite
I've been flyin' high, where's the pavement?
Enough of me, can I get a amen?
Ooh (don't stop)
(Don't stop)
Can I get a amen? (Don't stop)
(Don't stop)
(Don't stop)
I'll air this bitch out like balloon (don't stop)
I'll send his bitch ass to the moon
I'm at the top, ain't no room (don't stop)
Aight, where the swamp is?
Flyest bitch up in the room, I need a cockpit (need a cockpit)
I need some PETA for this pussy, they want the croc' print
I'm finna air these DL niggas out the closet
I let it in (let it in), I let it out (let it out)
I'm a bi bitch, but I need that pussy now
If he is gay, then I am gay, and we are nouns (we are nouns)
Me and Tyler finna take your bitch down
Oui oui, merci
Keep it cute when you're in my city
I'm 5'2", A-cup titties
I don't need you, 'cause I already fuck me
I don't need a Range when I got an airboat
I don't need a plane, 'cause the airboat float (don't stop)
Out New York, walk around bare-toed
I don't need a passport, I'm a swamp bitch
Oh-oh
(Don't stop) don't stop
(Don't stop) don't stop
(Don't stop) don't stop
(Don't stop)
I air this bitch out like a queef
I'll see your ass back to the streets
I'll spray your whole block with le FLEUR*
He gon' eat this pussy out, 'cause it's sweet
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) don't stop
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) don't stop
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) don't stop
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) don't stop
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) don't stop
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) don't stop
Don't stop
