Where was she raised? Where does she raise up?

In PARTYNEXTDOOR's song PGT, he raps about a woman whom he refers to as a PGT or pretty yellow thang. The chorus reflects his curiosity about where she was raised and grew up, and how she now chases money. The acronym PGT is repeated throughout the song. PND is clearly infatuated with this woman, and he talks about how she believes in him as he believes in her. The lyrics also talk about his luxurious lifestyle, from living in a mansion in Hollywood to enjoying steak and grits with his lover. However, he never wants to lose touch with his roots, staying true to his "ghetto" upbringing.
