In PARTYNEXTDOOR's song "Wild Bitches," he talks about a woman who is new to the city, with family connections that range from dealing drugs to being a pimp and a killer. Despite her rough upbringing, she is loyal to him and he regards her as his "nigga," which he contrasts with her perceived "vanilla" nature. The song addresses rumors and lies being spread about their relationship by other women ("wild bitches"), but he asserts his loyalty and commitment to her.
The lyrics touch on themes of loyalty, trust, and the challenges of navigating a new environment. The repeated refrain of "I'm ya nigga, I'm ya nigga, thought you knew" emphasizes the bond between PARTYNEXTDOOR and this woman, and the way in which their connection transcends traditional gender roles and societal expectations. The song also touches on the idea of reputation and how other people's perception of someone can affect their relationships and opportunities.
Overall, "Wild Bitches" is a song that celebrates the strength and loyalty of a woman who has overcome adversity, while also recognizing the challenges and pressures that come with being part of a new community.
