Tecca first gained traction during an early 2018 beef with Toronto rapper "Lb Spiffy" after Lb accused Tecca of stealing his flow on the track "Callin". Tecca continued the momentum by releasing songs on SoundCloud such as "My Time", "Get It Back", "Love Me" and "Count Me Out". In the time since his initial May 2019 rise to fame, from the Lyrical Lemonade, Cole Bennett directed music video hit, "Ransom", Tecca has released his debut mixtape, We Love You Tecca, which peaked at number 4 on the US Billboard 200 and contains hits such as "Did It Again", "Out of Luck" and "Shots" peaking at 64, 80, and 84, on the US Billboard Hot 100. On August 27th 2021 Tecca released his highly anticipated album "We Love You Tecca 2", which peaked at number 4 on the billboard top 100.

Yeah, yeah (hahaha, Nick, you're stupid)
Yeah, we be on this side, yeah, we be on this side
Yeah, yeah (we love you, Tecca)
We on this side (Internet Money, bitch), yeah, we be on this side
Yeah, we be on this side, yeah, we be on this side
How you get cropped out the picture?
And she be off a bean, no filter
Tell me what I gotta do to get that mixture (whoa)
Everything seems so smooth, so cool
Know I'ma stay real but I don't know about you
Yeah, I don't know about you
If I go M.I.A. just know it's not about you
Bitches, they be flockin' to the left side
And all the birds, they be flockin' to the bread, right
If it don't work first, do it ten times
Before you see that green light, you see that red light
I could text them, yeah, I won't text send
And I won't love a thot, yeah, that's what Tec said
All these dollar bills, turn 'em to my best friend
If I send 'em shooters, let 'em know who sent them, yeah
Whoa, yeah, on the real, I really had to be real with you
Whoa, yeah, on the real, she don't even need no filter
How you get cropped out the picture?
Doin' shit you ain't ever seen, my nigga
And she be off a bean, no filter
Tell me what I gotta do to get that mixture (yeah, whoa)
Everything seems so smooth, so cool
Know I'ma stay real but I don't know about you
Yeah, I don't know about you
If I go M.I.A. just know it's not about you
In my penthouse, I been vibing on the west side (west side)
Always baked, it took a while to get my bread right
You might think she average but shawty my type (my type)
Her body started looking better 'cause the head right
I know I'm from the Six but I'm from the west end (west end)
But I can hit your girl and she gon' bring her best friend (let's go)
Tryna stay low-key, my boys be bringing packs in (oh)
I don't gotta front, they know I get the backend (yeah, whoa, yeah, yeah)
On the real, I just had to be real with you (yeah, whoa)
I just popped a bean and I'ma speak with no filter (whoa)
You ain't trust my vision, now you cropped out the picture
Paid for all your cases like I did that shit with you
I don't got no filter, I'm never comin' to get you (whoa)
If you just kept it real, I would be countin' up with you (kept it real)
I'm a one man army and I see hate on my radar
Ready for the smoke, I keep a AK for AR
Smokin' weed all day, I'm kicked up watchin' the playoffs
'Cause I'm still makin' money when I'm takin' a day off
How you get cropped out the picture?
Doin' shit you ain't ever seen, my nigga
And she be off a bean, no filter
Tell me what I gotta do to get that mixture (yeah, whoa)

In "About You," Lil Tecca and NAV rap about their success, fame, and the people around them. The chorus repeats the line "we be on this side," which could mean they've found a particular group of people or community to belong to. They also wonder how some people get cropped out of the picture, indicating that some individuals might have been left behind or out of the loop in their journey, while they continue to do things that others haven't seen before, such as taking drugs like "bean" with no filter. They rap about staying "real" but also not knowing if those around them are the same way. Lil Tecca and NAV assert that they don't need anyone who doesn't believe in their vision, and they'll keep making money even when taking a day off.

Asking how someone got cut out of the picture (out of their life) by doing things the singer has never seen before. They're talking about a girl that's doing drugs without any filter or hesitation, and the singer is fascinated by her. Everything seems fine and under control, but the singer realizes that they can't rely on others to be real and true like they intend to be.
Bitches, they be flockin' to the left side
And all the birds, they be flockin' to the bread, right
If it don't work first, do it ten times
Before you see that green light, you see that red light

While girls flock to their side and guys flock to the money, they're aware that success is not immediate, so it's important to try, fail, and try again. They're confident in their ability to control their own actions and avoid texting people that won't appreciate it or investing time in meaningless relationships. They highlight their focus on money, and make it clear that they have no problem using it to their advantage. The singer switches back to saying they have to be real with the person they're talking to as they mention another girl not needing any filter.
In my penthouse, I been vibing on the west side (west side)
Always baked, it took a while to get my bread right
You might think she average but shawty my type (my type)
Her body started looking better 'cause the head right
I know I'm from the Six but I'm from the west end (west end)

The artist is in his luxurious penthouse on the west side, high and content after working hard to get to where they are financially. They prefer unconventional-looking girls that know how to please them, hinting at their preference for oral sex. Despite coming from an area called 'The Six,' they're proud to also be from the West End, and brag that they're able to hook up with any girl and her friends. They try to maintain a low profile while their friends constantly supply them with drugs, but they admit that it's been profitable, and they're not afraid to speak their minds after taking a pill.
You ain't trust my vision, now you cropped out the picture
Paid for all your cases like I did that shit with you
I don't got no filter, I'm never comin' to get you (whoa)
If you just kept it real, I would be countin' up with you (kept it real)
I'm a one man army and I see hate on my radar
Ready for the smoke, I keep a AK for AR
Smokin' weed all day, I'm kicked up watchin' the playoffs
'Cause I'm still makin' money when I'm takin' a day off
The artist is calling out someone who didn't believe in their vision and has been cut out of their life as a result. They paid for everything and have the receipts to prove it. They're unapologetically real and won't come back to a person that wasn't real with them. They have no problem making money by themselves and are fully prepared to deal with any negativity that comes their way. They kick back and relax while still making money, emphasizing their ability to maintain success while taking breaks.
