Lyrics
With the sh*t she be droppin'
Expressing surprise or questioning why she hasn't gained popularity or success despite her efforts.
Why ain't she popping yet?
Questioning why she hasn't become successful yet.
They see the tip just the toppin'
Referring to attention only being on the surface, not recognizing the depth or substance.
Well, they don't nothing get man
They won't understand or appreciate anything if they don't make an effort to.
If you only knew what the industry does to a girl like me
Discussing the challenges and pressures faced by women in the music industry.
Not playing the victim cause boys they also see
Rejecting the victim role, acknowledging that boys also witness and understand the challenges.
I had a man in a black suit tell me what he's gon' do
Encountering a man who threatens to crush her dreams unless she signs a contract with him.
He's gonna crush my dream in just fifteen minutes
He plans to destroy her aspirations in a short time if she refuses to sign the contract.
If I don't sign to him
Defiant response, declaring determination to continue despite the threat.
F**k him I still ain't finished
Despite the threat, she is not deterred and remains committed to her goals.
He said that shit but I'm too thick
Her resilience is attributed to her self-confidence and body positivity.
And I'll be winning soon
Confidently predicting future success despite challenges.
So stack your dollars to the sky
Encouraging the accumulation of wealth and success.
Drive your Maserati and you probably cry
Despite material success, there may be emotional struggles.
You probably cry
Repeating the idea that material success may come with emotional challenges.
I've been bribed by dollars and even jewelry
Having been offered bribes, possibly for compromising situations or decisions.
I mean it's not new to me
Being familiar with facing obstacles in her career.
Being blocked from many opportunities
Acknowledging being blocked from opportunities due to not conforming to certain rules.
Just because their rules don't do it for me
Refusing to conform to rules that go against her principles.
Not gonna change for no contacts
Not compromising her values for social or professional connections.
Not gonna give myself to you just for a contract
Not willing to trade her integrity for a contractual agreement.
And I don't care about no money and no cars
Emphasizing the importance of authenticity over material wealth.
If I can't be who I am, I don't wanna be a star
Rejecting the idea of fame if it requires sacrificing her true self.
When I have a daughter I'll take her bachata
Planning to teach her future daughter important life lessons through dance (bachata).
To teach her that rhythm to notice the slither
Emphasizing the importance of rhythm and awareness to detect deceitful individuals.
The snakes in the grass, all them boys
Warning about deceptive people (snakes) in romantic relationships.
All them boys only want that ass, want that ass
Highlighting the superficial desires of some men.
And man they can hate me
Accepting potential hatred for living authentically.
But they can't really blame me for living one life
Claiming responsibility for her choices in life.
So I will live my life my way
Determining to live life on her terms despite societal expectations.
And they can live life their way
Encouraging others to live life authentically.
I'll be happy if only my Mama listen to this song!
Expressing a desire for her mother's approval and understanding.
And mama I'll make it cause you made me strong
Confidently asserting that she will succeed because of her mother's influence.
Why ain't she poppin'
Repeating the question about why she hasn't become popular.
Why ain't she poppin'
Reiterating the question about her lack of popularity.
Not enough real conversation
Expressing a need for more genuine and meaningful conversations.
Look up at the constellations
Suggesting a lack of deep and meaningful communication in her life.
Not enough real conversation
Repeating the theme of a shortage of real and authentic conversations.
Look up at the constellations
Reiterating the idea of a lack of meaningful communication.
Why ain't she poppin' is it meant to be
Pondering whether her lack of popularity is predestined.
Success to you ain't success to me
Defining success differently from societal norms.
And I'd rather the long road
Choosing a challenging path over compromising one's values.
Than be a girl who sold her soul
Rejecting the idea
