My bitch educated, had her clients pay the payment

In PartyNextDoor's song "Make a Mil," the lyrics depict a life of luxury and extravagance. The first verse describes the rapper's state of mind, claiming to be "faded," indicating that he is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The lyrics then introduce his partner, who is portrayed as highly educated and successful in her own right. The phrase "had her clients pay the payment" implies that she is a sex worker, but regardless, she is self-sufficient and independent.
The second verse begins by reiterating the indulgent lifestyle described earlier, but then turns to themes of loyalty and trust. The lyrics "And if it all goes down, she down for me" suggest that no matter what happens, his partner will stick by his side. The phrase "I'll probably make a mil with her" could be interpreted in a few ways, but it most likely refers to making money with his partner should something happen to his current situation. Overall, the lyrics portray a life of excess and indulgence, but also touch on themes of loyalty and trust.
