Lyrics

Girl I'm more of a killer, than Imma say

The speaker sees themselves as more of a dangerous person than they openly admit.

But comin' from the belt loop

Refers to having a firearm holstered at their back.

Pressed to my back i've got a six shooter

Carrying a six-shooter gun aimed to impress or intimidate.

That's aimin' to brag

Intending to boast or show off with the gun.

And I was born, both a sinner and a saint

Being both good and bad, embodying contradictions.

I'm a calm car crash

Describing oneself as a controlled disaster or chaos.

And like a stray bullet breaking some glass

Comparing oneself to a stray bullet causing unexpected damage.


I can't be stopped i am the best at it

Confidence in being unstoppable and the best at something.

I am the one i am your check mate

Asserting dominance, being the ultimate move in a situation.

Ah girl, I'm Jesse James

Identifying with Jesse James, a notorious outlaw.

Oh, I'll admit I'm bad like Jesse James

Repeated affirmation of being bad like Jesse James.

I'm bad like Jesse James, Jesse James

-

Jesse James

-

Oh, I'll admit I'm bad like Jesse James

-

I'm bad like Jesse James, Jesse James

-

Oh, I'll admit I'm bad like Jesse James

-

Oh, I'll admit I'm bad like Jesse James

-

I heard you long to get outa here

Expressing a desire for a partner to join in a rebellious or adventurous life.

To see the states

-

Just so you know I got a seat at my side

-

It's waiting for a Bonnie to

-

Call me her Clyde

-

But you should know, I'm more of a river

Comparing oneself to a force of nature, a rushing river and a deceptive person.

Than I'm a lake

-

I'm rushing like a stampede

-

Escaping the fire

-

I'm like the tongue behind the

-

Teeth of a liar

-

I can't be stopped i am the best at it

Repetition of confidence in being unstoppable and the best.

I am the one i am your check mate

-

Ah girl, I'm Jesse James

-

Oh, I'll admit I'm bad like Jesse James

-

I'm bad like Jesse James, Jesse James

-

Jesse James

-

Oh, I'll admit I'm bad like Jesse James

-

I'm bad like Jesse James, Jesse James

-

Oh, I'll admit I'm bad like -

Partial repetition affirming being bad like Jesse James.


Oh, I ache for money

Desire for wealth, hunger for more, and a hidden inclination towards a hardened, dangerous persona.

I wake to hunger for more than what I got

-

I don't tell no one

-

'Cause honestly, there's a part of me

-

That wants to be cold and hardened with a gun

-

Aimed at everyone, like Jesse James

-

Jesse James oh yeah like Jesse James

-

Jesse James

Reiterating identification with Jesse James.
