What?
(Yo, Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?)
What? What?
What? What?
Yeah
Yeah
Uh, I'm thinkin' 'bout dyin' my hair red just to look like a pint of red
I like all of my cups so dirty, I been sippin' that Bloody Mary
I mix all of problems and Prometh' until I roll on my death bed
I mix all of problems and Prometh' until I roll on my death bed
Don't get close, uh, baby, don't get too close
Don't get close, yeah, baby, don't get too close
What you don't know, it won't hurt 'cause you don't know (what?)
What you don't know (yeah), it won't hurt 'cause you don't know
I gotta, I gotta eat
I got some E, I got some E
I got some molly, shawty with me
Shawty come see, shawty for C
She wanna party, she want young Carti
She wanna ride, ride it and ride it (yeah)
She wanna pipe all of these bitches
She want that action, she want young Carti
I got these diamonds they blingin', bitch
All of my phones, they stay ringin', bitch (what?)
She like them niggas that really rich
My hands on my stick like a little witch
I told her, "I really don't do this shit"
That money gon' make this bitch do this shit (go)
Codeine in my cup 'cause I do that shit (Codeine)
Codeine in my drank, bitch, I do this shit (syrup)
You know that my body is full of it
You know that I'm hot, bitch, I'm horny
I'm takin' these chances and doin' it
We take off your head and remove this bitch
My shawty rock gold like a Buddha bitch
And shoutout my cousin, he coolin' it
We really hot boys, we not new to this
We really hot boys, we not new to this
Uh, I'm thinkin' 'bout dyin' my hair red just to look like a pint of red
I like all of my cups so dirty, I been sippin' that Bloody Mary
I mix all of problems and Prometh' until I roll on my death bed
I mix all of problems and Prometh' until I roll on my death bed
Don't get close, uh, baby, don't get too close
Don't get close, yeah, baby, don't get too close
What you don't know, it won't hurt 'cause you don't know
What you don't know, it won't hurt 'cause you don't know
The lyrics to Playboi Carti's song ILoveUIHateU evoke a sense of danger and reckless abandon. The opening lines - "I'm thinkin' 'bout dyin' my hair red just to look like a pint of red" - suggest a desire to stand out and an affinity for the color red, which is often associated with passion and intensity. This is reinforced later in the song with the line "My shawty rock gold like a Buddha bitch," which implies a fascination with material wealth and status.
The refrain of "Don't get close, uh, baby, don't get too close / What you don't know, it won't hurt 'cause you don't know" also suggests a fear of intimacy and a desire to keep a distance from others. The lines "I got some E, I got some E / I got some molly, shawty with me" further emphasize a reckless, drug-fueled lifestyle. The repeated line "We really hot boys, we not new to this" also implies a sense of pride in living an unconventional, rule-breaking lifestyle.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a young, wild, and impulsive person who is unafraid to indulge in dangerous behaviors and desires.
