After attending Nashville’s Belmont University for a semester, the Atlanta-native decided to pursue a music career back home. She covered Outkast and transformed “Cheap Thrills” by Father -- Awful Records’ founder and rapper -- into an emotional ode to indie-folk. The singer’s friendship with rapper/producer Ethereal and the Awful crew, as well as her innovative sound, has earned her an official spot on the independent label’s roster.
Webster’s genre-defying music isn’t her only creative crossover — she’s gained recognition in Atlanta’s hip-hop scene for her Kehinde Wiley-esque photography of rappers like Lil Yachty, Migos’ Offset, and D.R.A.M. Inspired by a photography class she took at Belmont — “It’s mainly the only reason I’m glad I went,” she explains — Webster channels her quirky personal style and love of monochromes into her portraiture.

(I don't have that much, I don't, offer)
(I don't have that much)
What do you prefer?
I don't have that much to offer, can you just give me all your time?
I'm gonna try to give you mine
What do you prefer?
I'm gonna try to give you mine
A lot of niggas wrote the check so they could take this flow
A lot of bitches try to flexing that they trying to get chose
A lot of niggas showing off for (when did you join?)
You been fucking up the whole time but you swear you on point
Sometimes the girl of your dreams need to stay in your dreams
You can fuck with the team but don't fuck on the team
I know a lot of niggas hate me and that that's what they saw
Started out as young, hot, turning into the Cole
Why my heart so cold, yeah, why my wrist don't froze (nigga ice cold, yeah)
2PM in LA, my girl ain't got on no clothes, yeah, shouting nigga we made it
Got my chains on, why these niggas is hating (boom, boom, boom)
I said stop asking people for assistance
I don't like to get caught up in commitments
Let's just stop asking these hoes for forgiveness
She thinkin' some unfinished business
What do you prefer?
I don't have that much to offer, can you just give me all your time?
I'm gonna try to give you mine
What do you prefer?
I don't have that much to offer, can you just give me all your time?
I'm gonna try to give you mine

However, she is willing to give them all of her time and attention. The repetition of this question and statement emphasizes her desire to make the relationship work despite her limitations.
The second verse talks about the competition and superficiality within the music industry, with artists trying to show off their skills and impress others. The lyrics also touch on the difficulty of maintaining a relationship in the midst of all this chaos.

The woman suggests that instead of asking for forgiveness from others, they should focus on building and maintaining their relationship. She also acknowledges her own reluctance to commit and equates it to "unfinished business." The repetition of the question "What do you prefer?" suggests that this is a recurring theme in the relationship and that the woman is open to changing and adjusting to meet her partner's needs.
