Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bitch, I'm fine, thanks for askin'
Gettin' money every day, don't got time for relaxin'
Mia, they askin' where I been, bitch, I been away
Takin' drugs and smokin' dope so I can relieve the pain
Mia, MIA
She been in my head, in my head
I just poured codeine, poured codeine
Still can't go to bed, go to bed
I sacrificed myself, like jesus sacrifices for sins
I just got a Benz and I'ma push it through the wind
I just got a check and I'ma spend it on my friends
I'm lying, finna spend it on my Benz
I'm dying, all the Percs and the Xans
I'm trying the best that I can
Gotta stay high, I don't wanna land
Said fuck love but I'm falling again
Bitch, I'm fine, thanks for askin'
Gettin' money every day, don't got time for relaxin'
Mia, they askin' where I been, bitch, I been away
Takin' drugs and smokin' dope so I can relieve the pain
Mia, MIA
She been in my head, in my head
I just poured codeine, poured codeine
Still can't go to bed, go to bed
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yo, yeah
(Damn, Ryder) uh
Bitch, I'm fine, thanks for askin'
Gettin' money every day, don't got time for relaxin'

Takin' drugs and smokin' dope so I can relieve the pain
Mia, MIA
She been in my head, in my head

Still can't go to bed, go to bed
The song "MIA" by ssgkobe talks about his struggle with addiction and the pressure that comes with being in the music industry. The opening line, "Bitch, I'm fine, thanks for askin'," can be interpreted as a sarcastic remark towards those who ask how he's doing without really caring about the answer. He then continues to say that he's focused on making money and doesn't have time to relax, which may hint at the fast-paced lifestyle of the industry.
The chorus discusses the recurring theme of Mia (which could be an acronym for Missing In Action) and how she's still present in his mind despite his attempts to numb the pain with drugs and alcohol. The line "I sacrificed myself, like jesus sacrifices for sins" suggests that he's aware of the harm he's causing himself, but feels helpless in his addiction. The reference to buying a Benz with his money (which he then admits he'll probably spend on drugs) could represent a common trend in the industry where artists become consumed by material possessions.
The outro of the song ends with him repeating the chorus, which reinforces the theme of his inner turmoil and struggle with addiction.
