In these lyrics, Lil Uzi Vert expresses his unique personality and lifestyle. He starts by proclaiming his affiliation with the "I'm working on dying" collective, which represents his dedication and relentless pursuit of success.
Lil Uzi Vert compares himself to a cobra, symbolizing his slick and captivating demeanor, while emphasizing that he is not deceitful or treacherous like a snake. He lives in the present and enjoys the finer things in life, showing off his expensive taste.
The references to a girl lying for money and wanting his wealth suggest that Lil Uzi Vert is cautious of people's intentions and knows that some are only after his material possessions. He contrasts his high-quality chain, which he claims is straight from the ocean, with someone else's lesser chain, which is described as coming from a mere lake. This highlights the difference in their status and the superiority of his possessions.
The line "Slam on her, O'Neal" possibly refers to a sexual encounter, with the term "O'Neal" alluding to the basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, known for his powerful dunks and dominating presence on the court. Lil Uzi Vert doesn't care about others' opinions or feelings, and he flaunts his diamonds, noting that they are teal in color, possibly alluding to their rarity and exclusivity.
The next section of the lyrics switches to Lil Uzi Vert addressing fake people and their actions. He asserts that he can identify their fakeness, but he doesn't understand their true intentions. While they may only make it rain (spend money extravagantly), Lil Uzi Vert claims he can make it storm (create a significant impact) with his actions.
He dismisses the idea of chasing after women, expressing his addiction to accumulating wealth and money. The line "Money stack up in my safe" indicates his financial success and prosperity, with his racks (money stacks) overflowing to the point of unsafety.
Lil Uzi Vert implies that a girl wants to smoke or use his weed, but he refuses, telling her to show her face first. This suggests his desire to be cautious about who he associates with and only allowing those whom he deems worthy to enjoy the benefits of his lifestyle.
He boasts about being ahead of others, particularly in fashion. He mentions how others turn clothing from the brand HUMAN MADE into a mainstream brand like BAPE, illustrating how he sets trends and is at the forefront of the fashion world.
Lil Uzi Vert continues by stating that he owns a Lamborghini ("'Gatti"), expressing preparedness for any challenges or races he might encounter. He acknowledges his knowledge of some potential dangerous situations ("I know 'bout some bodies"), but he stays anonymous and keeps his involvement secret by putting his hand on his face.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing Lil Uzi Vert's unique persona and his distinction from others. He asserts that he lives in the moment, has expensive tastes, and recognizes that some people want to exploit him for his wealth and possessions. He doesn't care about others' opinions, proudly displaying his dazzling diamonds and contrasting his abundance with others' lack. He uses references to legendary athletes and fashion brands to further showcase his status and influence.

ButDidYouKnowThatWhenItSnows
Lil Uzi took 3 years to drop this and this is what happened while I was waiting.
- I became a junior in high school
- became a anime nerd
- my grandpa died
- my grandma moved in
- I became a senior in high school
- I graduated from high school
- stopped listening to rap
- started listening to kpop and became obsessed
- my parents got divorced
- the coronavirus happened
Also I 100% believe that Lil Uzi dropped this because if he dies from the coronavirus he needs to at least drop an album.
