In the song, Latto raps about being tired of people criticizing and being sneaky, warning her detractors to not cause trouble for her, and boasts her wealth. In the chorus, she raps: "I done done it all / feel like Shawty Lo / Laughin' to the bank / but shit is not a joke / Say she got a problem? / Imaginary smoke / Bitches said it's up / then put it on the floor".
Controversy
Latto references fellow rapper Coi Leray in the opening of the second verse: "Smokin' on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray". Shortly after the song was released on streaming services, Leray responded with a series of tweets, taking issue with the lyrics and accusing Latto of body shaming her. However, Leray later stated in a tweet that she may have overreacted and went on to warn Latto not to mention her name in a song again. During Weekend Two of Coachella 2023, Latto said at the end of her set, "Ay, Coi Leray I love your body baby."
