Born in Decatur, Georgia in 1994, Lightskinkeisha grew up in Atlanta. While using social media to pursue a modeling career, she would sometimes post videos of herself rapping, and, in 2017, she took her interest in music to the next level with the release of her first singles. Songs like "Cash Shit" and "Treadmill" highlighted her unrepentantly brazen style, cocky rhymes, and trendy production. She quickly signed with L.A. Reid's Hitco Entertainment in 2018, and the label released her debut mixtape, That's Just the Bottom Line, in December of that year. The ten-song collection featured guest spots from Coca Vango, BlocBoy JB, and B. Smyth. The following year saw the release of the singles "Hey Lightskin" and "Atlanta," the latter of which featured Stevie B.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta ice me out
Before you pipe me down
I know that you ain't broke (mmm)
Gotta fly me out
Where you at right now
Can you hit it in the SRT
Give you brain like SAT
Big body this a AMG
Know you gotta bankroll
So spend it on me
I know what you came to see
I know what your came to see
Tryna spend the night
He gotta have it
Pull up on me looking Right
I might let him grab it
By the end of the night
I better be calling you daddy
Should be the last time that I gotta give you the addy
Let's get it on tonight
Got you turning off ya phone at night
We can only use the phone for the light
Shoot a movie just like spike
Take one take two buss twice
1942 on ice
Blue money make a b*tch act nice
N*gga don't think twice just swipe
I know what ya came for (mmm)
Gotta ice me out
Before you pipe me down
I know that you ain't broke (mmm)
Gotta fly me out
Where you at right now
Can you hit it in the SRT
Give you brain like SAT
C notes that's do re mi
Big body this a AMG
Know you gotta bankroll
So spend it on me
I know what you came to see
I know what your came to see

He all on my body
He said he love that I'm toxic
These n*ggas love when I pop sh*t
He tryna cuff me
N*gga you ain't running nothing
Especially when you ain't bought sh*t
458 my Ferrari huh
Pull up it sound like a Harley huh
Pink insides like Barbie huh
Raising the pressure they salty huh
Let's get it on tonight
Got you turning off ya phone at night
We can only use the phone for the light
Shoot a movie just like spike
Take one take two buss twice
1942 on ice
Blue money make a b*tch act nice
N*gga don't think twice just swipe
I know what ya came for (mmm)
Gotta ice me out
Before you pipe me down
I know that you ain't broke (mmm)
Gotta fly me out
Where you at right now
Can you hit it in the SRT
Give you brain like SAT
C notes that's do re mi
Big body this a AMG

In this song, LightSkinKeisha is clearly in control of the situation when it comes to her relationships with men. She knows that they are interested in her for her looks and what she can offer them, so she demands to be treated to the finer things in life before she gives into their advances. She knows that these men have money, hence her requests to be "iced out" and flown around to luxurious destinations. She even goes as far as to use the American educational system as innuendo in her lyrics, promising to give her partner "brain like SAT".
The song is a clear reflection of the power dynamic between men and women in the modern dating scene. LightSkinKeisha is using her physical beauty and desirability to extract wealth and privilege from her male suitors, flipping the typical gender roles in which men are the ones who hold the power in relationships. Keisha's lyrics are bold, brash, and unapologetic, making it clear that she knows exactly what she wants and has no problem using her sexuality as a tool to get it.
