Lyrics
I, yeah, I, hey
Expression of affirmation and self-identity
Hey-ey, uh
Continuation of affirmation, possibly for emphasis
Hey, uh
Reiteration of affirmation or a call for attention
I was down, yeah, now I'm better (ayy)
Previously feeling low, now feeling improved
Stuntin' with my dogs like my first name Cruella (woof)
Being flashy or showing off, likening to Cruella de Vil
Black girls love me 'cause a nigga got some feta (true)
Attractiveness to Black women due to financial success
And white girls love me like my first name Coachella (woo)
Appeal to white women, possibly due to association with Coachella
I'm a kick drum (woo) I go pretty dumb (ayy)
Comparing oneself to a kick drum, suggesting wildness
West side nigga, 5-0-tree is where I'm from (true)
Identifying as from the west side, indicating roots
Lookin' at my face, you could tell I know my place (I do)
Confidence in understanding one's position
You say, "Amen," I say, "Aminé"
Playing with the similarity between "Amen" and "Aminé"
Right after I say my grace
Following gratitude or thanks, possibly before a meal
I wanna flex, I wanna show off
Desire to flaunt or display success
Humble when I'm blunt, but I gotta go hard
Balancing modesty with the need to assert oneself
You're damn right, I'm feelin' myself
Confident self-appreciation
You know you'd do the same if that was yourself
Suggesting others would do the same if in the same situation
I was broke (broke) now I'm stuntin' like my daddy
Past financial struggles contrasted with current success
Flyest under the sea, I'm gettin' Krabby Patties (true)
Feeling superior or excellent, likening to a character from a show
Dukes gave me deuce so this beef feel like it's cavi'
Comparing a situation to receiving a minor favor
Dreadlock nigga so my hair's pretty nappy (woo)
Identifying with dreadlocks, embracing natural hair
Boppers give me love (love), I could give a fuck (no)
Receiving attention from women, indifferent to their interest
Young Metro said he trust her so I gave the girl a hug (hey)
Referencing trust in a third party regarding a relationship
Well, I got a bag of tricks, I don't do the politics (true, true)
Avoiding involvement in political matters, focusing on personal skills
I rock yellow on some yellow like what purple is to Prince
Wearing yellow similarly to Prince's association with purple
I wanna flex, I wanna show off
Reiteration of the desire to display success
Humble when I'm blunt, but I gotta go hard
Balancing modesty with the need for assertiveness
You're damn right, I'm feelin' myself
Confident self-appreciation
You know you'd do the same if that was yourself
Suggesting others would act similarly in a similar situation
I wanna flex (woo), I wanna show off (hey)
Reiteration of the desire to flaunt success
Humble when I'm blunt, but I gotta go hard (yeah)
Balancing modesty with the need for assertiveness
You're damn right, I'm feelin' myself (true)
Confident self-appreciation
You know you'd do the same if that was yourself
Suggesting others would act similarly in a similar situation
We all young and reckless
Recognition of youthful impulsiveness and self-reliance
We fight for ourselves, it's true (it's true)
Emphasizing the importance of personal battles and self-prioritization
It's good to be selfish (sometimes)
Suggesting the benefit of prioritizing oneself in certain situations
'Cause most times they know they are too (hey)
Acknowledging that others often act in their own interest
We all young and reckless
