This was followed by a post of a short video of the intro to the official music video on October 26, 2023. She later confirmed the track’s title and release date.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breakin' down and I had the whole world watchin' (whole world watchin')
But the worst part is really who watched me
Every night I cried, I almost died
And nobody close tried to stop me
Long as everybody gettin' paid, right? (Paid, right)
Everything'll be okay, right? (Okay)
Bet if I ever fall off, everybody go missin'
At night, I'm sittin' in a dark room thinkin'
Probably why I always end up drinkin'
Yes, I'm very depressed
How can somebody so blessed wanna slit they wrist?
Shit, I'd probably bleed out some Pinot
When they find me, I'm in Valentino, ayy
He pourin' me shots, thinkin' it's lit
Ha, little did he know
This pussy depressed, hm, I'm about to stress him, yeah
Pink nails 'round his neck, huh, but this ain't domestic, ayy
Think it's goin' down, ha, now he stand corrected, ayy
This pussy depressed, hm, I'm about to stress him, ah
Ayy, damn, I got problems (I got problems)
Never thought a bitch like me would ever hit rock bottom (hit rock bottom)
Man, I miss my parents, way too anxious (yeah, yeah)
Always cancel my plans (cancel my plans)
Pulled up, caught him cheatin'
Gettin' his dick sucked in the same spot I'm sleepin' (yeah, yeah)
Lord, give me a break (give me a break)
I don't know how much more of this shit I can take (ayy)
How long you been worried 'bout me, tellin' people that's not me?
Honestly, it kinda feel like you plottin', watchin'
Why is you speakin' on me at my lowest when you acted like you ain't noticed?
I was trippin', goin' crazy
And they lowkey hatin', so they ain't gon' say shit
Damn, I finally see it
I'm killin' myself when bitches would die to be me
This pussy depressed, hm, I'm about to stress him, yeah
Pink nails 'round his neck, huh, but this ain't domestic, ayy
Think it's goin' down, ha, now he stand corrected, ayy
This pussy depressed, hm, I'm about to stress him, ah
I ain't goin', yeah, no emotion, ayy
Back outside, yeah, back in motion, ayy
He keep callin', hm, I ignore it (ayy)
He say I'm crazy, hm, don't I know it, ah
In Megan Thee Stallion's song "Cobra," the lyrics delve into the artist's personal struggles with mental health and the pressures that come with success. She opens up about feeling vulnerable and alone, despite having the world watching her every move. Megan reveals that she has experienced moments of intense sadness and even contemplated self-harm. She questions why those close to her didn't intervene or offer support when she needed it most.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that as long as everyone is financially benefiting from her success, they turn a blind eye to her emotional well-being. Megan expresses her fears about losing her fame and the realization that if she were to fall, the people around her would disappear. This creates a sense of isolation and breeds further anxiety. Throughout the song, Megan's emotions swing from moments of feeling depressed and overwhelmed to periods of empowerment and a refusal to let others define her.
Overall, "Cobra" provides a raw and introspective perspective on Megan Thee Stallion's personal battles with mental health and the complexities of her relationship with fame.

No@@beccamorefield5972 > Yes, but that wasn't the point I was making about Megan.
God uses the serpent to represent Satan throughout God's Word, and Jesus said some false teachers were a "brood of vipers" (or a family of snakes), and that Satan was their father because they were leading people away from God to themselves, even though they were religious leaders.
My point is that Megan's music attracts people to a sinful, sensual lifestyle and viewpoint that she endorses and approves and God hates.
By many, many comments, especially of young women, she seems to be a person of worship to them. They worship her. Is she leading them to God or away? Watch her behavior and appearance and listen to the words.
Satan often uses people in positions of influence to lead them away from God. My view is that Satan has raised her up--like many celebrities--to draw people away from God, to their own destruction. Megan wants the fame and fortune and admiration, so she goes along for the ride. She knows this. God will not be mocked.
Their is nothing about her life that would appear to be Godly, and since Jesus said you are either with Him or against Him, it is right to judge that she is being used against Him. There is no middle ground.
...But, He loves her, and all those He would draw and bring back to Himself.>We know this, because he died and rose again for them to be brought back to Him in this life, and forever, through turning away from false gods like Megan and others, and putting all of our hope and trust and lives in His hands for His purposes.
