Lyrics
Don't ever act like you know me
Expressing a warning or caution against assuming understanding or familiarity.
That was the old me
Acknowledging a transformation from a previous version of oneself.
Don't ever act like you know me
Reiterating the caution against presuming knowledge or connection.
Even if you did, baby, that was the old me
Even if someone knew the speaker in the past, it doesn't define the current identity.
Cut my hair and changed my clothes
Describing a physical change in appearance, possibly symbolic of personal evolution.
I pray the Lord take my soul
Expressing a desire for spiritual guidance or protection.
Don't ever act like you know me
Repeating the warning about making assumptions regarding the speaker.
Even if you did, baby, that was the old me
Emphasizing that any past understanding of the speaker is outdated.
Cut my hair and changed my clothes
Highlighting another aspect of personal change, this time in clothing.
I pray the Lord take my soul
Repeating the desire for spiritual intervention or guidance.
Jumped inside the coupe, I'm going fast, fast, fast
Describing a fast-paced experience inside a car, potentially symbolizing the pace of life.
Blue strip hundreds, I got racks, racks, racks
Boasting about having a significant amount of money in the form of blue strip hundreds.
No lie, girl, there's something in your eyes
Noticing something compelling or captivating in someone's eyes.
That make me wanna live and die at the same time
Expressing conflicting emotions, a mix of wanting to live and die simultaneously.
Thousand dollar joggers, bitch, I run shit
Asserting dominance with expensive joggers and rejecting certain labels.
She said that she wants me, I told her, "Prove it"
Challenging someone who expresses romantic interest to prove their sincerity.
Don't call me a nerd, don't call me a cool kid
Rejecting stereotypical labels like "nerd" or "cool kid."
Rich dropout, big watch now
Identifying as a wealthy individual who dropped out of the conventional path.
Ten racks just for me to pop out
Stating the cost of making a public appearance.
They thought I wouldn't be shit but I'm a lot now
Defying expectations of not achieving success, asserting a current elevated status.
I know that life is unfair
Recognizing the inherent unfairness of life.
You have to die for them to care
Highlighting the unfortunate reality that sometimes one's value is only acknowledged after death.
You have to die for them to care
Repeating the idea that recognition often comes only in death.
I know that life is unfair
Reiterating the recognition of life's unfairness.
Don't ever act like you know me

I pray the Lord take my soul
Reiterating the desire for spiritual intervention or guidance.
Don't ever act like you know me

Even if you did, baby, that was the old me
Affirming that any past understanding of the speaker is no longer accurate.
Cut my hair and changed my clothes
Repeating the theme of physical and personal transformation.
I pray the Lord take my soul
Closing with a repetition of the desire for spiritual intervention or salvation.
