The reference to "six figures to the face" signifies earning a substantial amount of money, which represents financial success.

This could signify a rebellious or independent attitude.
"Diamonds water like a lake" suggests that the artist's jewelry is filled with sparkling diamonds, comparing their brilliance and abundance to a vast body of water. This could represent the artist's wealth and the luxurious lifestyle they now lead.
The lines "Pull up swipe your bae" and "Road running paper chase" showcase the artist's confident and assertive nature when it comes to romantic relationships and his pursuit of money. The phrase "see the stars in the wraith" indicates that the artist is driving a high-end luxury vehicle (possibly a Rolls-Royce Wraith) and enjoying the fruits of his success.
The chorus of the song reiterates the theme of rapid accumulation of wealth and not being willing to wait for success. It emphasizes the need to work hard and consistently "stack it up day to day" and demand payment from those who owe the artist money. The mention of "running through these commas" implies the artist's ability to obtain a significant amount of wealth and increase it quickly.
The lyrics portray a flashy and extravagant lifestyle, with mentions of eating expensive foods like lobster and steak, shopping at high-end stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, and wearing designer clothes. The artist proudly wears purple jeans that sag slightly, adding a touch of individuality to the lavish appearance.
