Born in Queens, New York into a family of missionaries, Abra spent her first eight years in London, where her parents built the church they would ultimately work in. Her introduction to singing came from that church, too, where her father was pastor and her mother oversaw praise and worship. After London, her family settled in the quiet suburb of Lilburn outside Atlanta. At 14, Abra began playing guitar. She attended Parkview Highschool and was an active member of the drama department, graduating in 2007. Later in her teens, she began uploading her acoustic covers of rap songs onto YouTube. This led to her being discovered by Awful Records founder and rapper Father, who encouraged her to make original music. She later joined the label in 2014.
Her first EP, BLQ Velvet, was released in 2015. Her second EP, Princess was released by True Panther Sounds on July 15, 2016. It is her first release on a major label. The song "Fruit" off the album Rose was featured in an article on the best R&B songs of 2016 by The Guardian.
Regarding Abra's style of clothing, Vogue commented in 2016 that "deliberate contrasts are part of her artistic identity on the whole: Abra is a member of the mostly male-dominated Awful Records coterie, an outlier crew swiftly taking over Atlanta with a sound that stands apart from ATL's rap oeuvre".
Abra is one of the stars of the 2018 film Assassination Nation and plays Em.
COME 4 ME
Abra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then flip that bed and make more money
Go tell them girls you can't COME 4 ME
Go tell the world they can't COME 4 ME
COME 4 ME
I'm 'bout to dive in now honey
Then flip that bed and make more money
Go tell them girls you can't COME 4 ME
COME 4 ME
(Instrumental)
The lyrics in AbrA's song COME 4 ME seem to communicate the artist's sense of self-confidence, independence, and empowerment. The song starts with the lines "I'm 'bout to dive in my honey/Then flip that bed and make more money." The phrase 'dive in my honey' can be interpreted in different ways, but it likely refers to the pleasure and satisfaction of being in control of one's own intimate experiences. The subsequent line 'flip that bed and make more money' could be metaphorical, suggesting that by virtue of taking control and enjoying oneself, one can also increase their financial wealth. The repetition of these lines throughout the song indicates the artist's certainty in their own ability to succeed, both personally and professionally.
The chorus of the song comprises the lines "Go tell them girls you can't COME 4 ME/Go tell the world they can't COME 4 ME/COME 4 ME." The phrase "COME 4 ME" could be seen as an invitation for someone to try and match the artist's level of confidence and independence, but at the same time, it could be read as a warning to others not to underestimate the artist's strength and ability to succeed. The phrase "Go tell them girls you can't COME 4 ME" seems to suggest that the artist is aware of others who may try to challenge or undermine their confidence, but is not intimidated by them.
In conclusion, AbrA's song "COME 4 ME" is a powerful anthem of self-confidence and independence. The lyrics portray an artist who is in control of their own intimate experiences and financial success, and who is not afraid to assert their strength and abilities to those who would try to challenge them.
