The song "D.G.I.F.U." by Chris Brown, Tyga, and Pusha T is an anthem about their success and their ability to show off their wealth and power. The lyrics are full of braggadocio and confidence, with the artists asserting themselves as the best in the game. They do not take any nonsense from their enemies, and they believe in their ability to outdo them at every turn.
Tyga opens the song by acknowledging that he is hated by many but continues to shine low-key. He does not associate himself with those who are not on his level and keeps things G. The verse also mentions his ability to make money and have casual relationships. The chorus repeats the phrase "Don't get it fucked up" as a warning to anyone who underestimates their power and status.
Pusha T's verse continues on the same theme of being on top, with references to luxury brands and high-end fashion. He speaks about his haters who talk but have never actually achieved what he has. He even takes a shot at Taylor Swift's perceived image, saying his "Katy Perry" is not afraid to carry drugs. The hook repeats, emphasizing that doing what they do is for their loved ones and that they only trust money, not people.
Overall, the song is a celebration of material wealth and status with an underlying message of not respecting those who cannot keep up with their level of success.
