You's a vegan but you going ham
Lotta niggas, lotta niggas
Lotta niggas wanna be like me
But you know the difference
You know they're different, baby

Only been with you for me
Let me know you're down
Let me know when you're downtown
Ring-a-ding, ding
Let me know if it's a ting
Out here with your Brampton tings
Fucking all your Pickering tings

She said she wanna come to Toronto
She wanna come to the 6 side
She know that's the best side
Caribana, Soca dancer, Machel Montano
Black red bandana or a trip planner
She know who to check when she come around
She know who to check whenever she comes in town
She knows what I have to calm her down
She knows it's not something to run from now
Don't run, don't

Listen, all I wanna do is smoke with you
Sit down, have dinner with the folks with you
Touch road, hit Frings then Bloke with you
Don't par with a broke boy, I'll do the most
Would you tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Since when are you all grown up
Since when do you know more
Since when do you not come home
I heard you got too much on your shoulders
Your mother just called my phone up
Sounds like your party is over

Girl, you know I heard a lot of things, don't joke with me
Girl, you know I
And I know you're down, I know you're still down
Ring-a-ding, ding
Let me know if it's a ting
Out here with your Brampton ting
Fucking all your Pickering tings

She said she wanna come to Toronto
She wanna come to the 6 side
She know that's the best side
Caribana, calypso dancer, Bajan accent
Blue yellow bandana, oh, trip planner
She know who to check when she come around
She know who to check whenever she comes in town
She knows what I have to calm her down
She knows it's not something to run from now
Don't run

Be safe, be safe, don't run baby
Don't run, baby
I know you're scared
Inception is everything you're wanting
Just trust me
Just trust me, just trust me
Just trust me, just trust me




I'll make it easy
Just trust me, girl

Overall Meaning

In PARTYNEXTDOOR's "Don," the lyrics are addressed to a lover who is far away and longing to be with him. The song opens with a reference to the woman's Instagram, where she appears to be living a wild and unconventional lifestyle despite being a vegan. Through a series of rhyming couplets, the singer professes his devotion to her, emphasizing the difference between her and other people who want to be like him.


The chorus of the song is a plea for the woman to communicate with him and let him know when she is in Toronto, where he is located. He lists off various places they can visit together and assures her that he is a safe person to be around. The bridge of the song features a conversation between the singer and a third party, possibly the woman's mother, who is worried about her daughter's behavior. The singer insists that he can help her and begs her to trust him.


Overall, the song appears to be about the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship, and the importance of communication, trust, and loyalty in such a situation.
