Lyrics

She was tryna chase a high so I gave her high hopes

Attempting to fulfill a desire for euphoria, I provided optimistic expectations.

She was walkin' on a line and now it's a tight rope

She was navigating a precarious path, and now it's become even more challenging.

Don't try to give her advice because she already knows

Advising her is futile as she believes she already possesses sufficient knowledge.

She don't need my help, she don't need your help, she just needs herself

She is self-reliant, rejecting assistance from both me and others, relying solely on herself.

I guess you call that independent

This self-sufficiency is described as independence.

She even bought her own pendant

She even purchased her own symbolic ornament or piece of jewelry.

And she tryna go back and forth with me, but this ain't tennis

Engaging in verbal conflict with me, but it's not a friendly game like tennis.

You might try to sink my boat, so I'm watching whoever's in it

Being cautious because someone may try to undermine my efforts or plans.

I'm the captain of the ship and I'm protected by lieutenants

I am the leader, and I have a protective team surrounding me.

Which side are you on better pick quick

Choosing a side is necessary, and a quick decision is expected.

You look like a mufucka that don't ever give a shit

A comment on someone's apathetic and indifferent appearance.

That was the first thing she said when she met the kid

Her initial impression of the speaker is that he doesn't care about anything.

She's chasin', chasin', chasin'

She is continuously pursuing something, possibly highs or goals.

High, high, high, high, highs

Repetition of the word "high" emphasizing the intense pursuit of euphoria.

She was tryna chase a high so I gave her high hopes

Reiteration of the attempt to satisfy the desire for a heightened experience.

She was walkin' on a line and now it's a tight rope

Restating the challenge she faces, now compared to walking on a tightrope.

You told me some things that nobody else knows

She confided in the speaker with personal information known only to him.

They were all about yourself, ain't nobody else not even myself

The disclosed information was self-centric, with no consideration for others, not even herself.

She was tryna chase a high so I gave her high hopes

Reiterating the attempt to provide optimistic expectations for her pursuit of euphoria.

High, high, high, high, high, high

Emphasizing the intensity of the pursuit with the repetition of the word "high."

She was tryna chase a high so I gave her high hopes

Repeating the attempt to fulfill her desire for euphoria through optimistic expectations.

Was walkin' on a line and now it's a tight rope

Restating the challenging situation, now likened to walking on a tightrope.

If the vibes ain't right then I hit the high road

If the atmosphere or energy is not positive, the speaker chooses to leave.

And you're off of me now just like before, yeah

She has distanced herself from the speaker once again, similar to a previous occurrence.
