Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shawty got cut from the team (oh)
Get litty, causin' a scene (scene)
Shawty a fool on the bean (bean)
I tried to make you my queen (queen)
Birkins and diamonds are cheap (oh)
Girl, that ain't nothing to me (oh)
You were the one on the street (oh)
I thought you'd never let me go
You switched on me, I lost control
I hope I see you on the road
So you can see how far I dove
So deep in the water (drip)
My bitch call me Poppa (yeah)
Count the money up like Carti (no, no)
If we die young, we ain't modest (whoa)
You was a ratchet ho (mm-hm)
Put you in designer clothes (all day)
See me in the streets, don't bother (no way)
Cut the bitch off like barbers
I dove in the water, yeah, in the water
I'm a rock star, bitch, throwin' water
In the water, yeah, in the water
I don't bother, bitch
She tried to pull on my strings (strings)
Shawty got cut from the team (oh)

Slap the first day, tell me, what's the move (what the move?)
Popped a Perc', now gettin' in the groove (pop a Perc')
Dead fresh like the first day of school (yeah)
Wanna drop out, I'ma take you on a cruise
Steal a purse like I'm whippin' that loose

Homie get that money, I got hundreds, all blues

She tried to pull on my strings (strings)

The lyrics of "Strings" by Iann Dior Gunna depict a romantic relationship that has ended. The phrase "pull on my strings" is used figuratively to mean controlling or manipulating the other person. The singer states that the woman in the relationship was trying to control him but was subsequently cut from the team. The term "bean" is slang for ecstasy or molly, suggesting that the woman may have been under the influence of drugs. Instead of appreciating the financial gestures the singer makes towards her, like buying her Birkins and diamonds, the woman does not value their worth to him. He even suggests that the woman was the one on the street, implying she is a prostitute.
The chorus shifts to a regretful tone for the singer as he expresses his frustration with the way the relationship ended. He believed that the woman would not leave him but was wrong. He lost control over the situation and hopes to run into her on the road so that she can see how deep he has fallen into the water, which is possibly a reference to the singer's fame and success.
The final stanza details the lavish lifestyle the singer leads with his riches. He hops out of his Bentley coupe, which is missing a roof, demonstrating his wealth. He then outlines the various sexual experiences that he has with women, including group sex on tour buses, but he remains in control of the situation. He mentions that he steals a purse since he is so wealthy and that he will never lose money. Finally, he claims that he is highly regarded by all women if he continues to keep the money coming.
