Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Break it down, break it down for a chick with some money, yeah (Uh)

Drip 'til her tiptoe (Drip, drip)

Now bust it down (Bust it), on the kid
Bust her down (Bust it) on the wrist (Hey)
We bustin' now (Bah), at your wig (Uh)
Uh-oh, we at the top floor (Uh-oh)
Uh-oh, had to cancel all the hoes (Uh-oh)
Uh-oh, she touched the ice and now she froze (Uh-oh)
Uh-oh, I'm in her life and now she know
You've been on me for so long
What's one more night alone?
I might not pick up the phone
But I still want you to call me
We gon' start this shit off right
If you hold me down, then I'ma treat you nice
I need a businessman with a dope boy chain
A businessman doing dope boy things
Off the muscle (That's right)
Light flex, yeah, I like to see you hustle
I'm emotional
You know I can't let you go, I'm emotional
Don't want to see you with no hoe, I'm emotional (Hell nah)
Come on, come on, baby, talk to me
Break it down, break it down, for a chick with some money, yeah
Boss shit, get a chick with some money
Yeah, I'm stingy with my man like I'm stingy with my hundreds, yeah
Go 'head and tell me that you love me
Baby, tell me that you love me
I'm emotional
Don't you be scared to call me
Baby boy, you should get to know me
Yeah, it's true, I ain't never lonely
But you should try to be my one and only

What's one more night alone?
I might not pick up the phone
But I still want you to call me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm emotional
Hair done, nails done, heels high, I'm fly
New bag, splish splash, I'm dripping ice
Hair done, nails done, heels high, I'm fly
New bag, splish splash, I'm dripping ice
Pretty girls in the club don't fight
But if my bitch bucking, then I'm bucking, I'm emotional
But don't you be scared to call me
Baby boy, you should get to know me
Yeah, it's true, I ain't never lonely
But you should try to be my one and only
Don't play with it, don't play with it

Baby, I'm emotional, don't play with it
Don't play with it, I'm so emotional
Don't play with it, don't play with it
Baby, don't play with it, I'm emotional
Baby, I'm emotional, don't play with it
Don't play with it, I'm so emotional, uh
In Saweetie's song Emotional, the lyrics explore the theme of a woman who is stuck between her emotions and desire for a man even though he may not be the best for her. The lyrics suggest that the woman has been chasing after the man for a while and although she may not answer his calls every time, she still wants him to come after her. The lyrics, "You've been on me for so long, What's one more night alone? I might not pick up the phone, But I still want you to call me" display the woman's conflicting emotions towards the man. The man in question is depicted as a "dope boy," and the woman desires someone who is well-established, but she is still drawn towards him.
Furthermore, the lyrics suggest that the woman is confident, and she is not afraid to show it. Saweetie raps about her appearance, stating, "Hair done, nails done, heels high, I'm fly, new bag, splish splash, I'm dripping ice" indicating that she is dressed for success and can take over any room she walks into. However, she still feels the need to impress the man she desires.
In conclusion, Saweetie's song "Emotional" is about how a successful and confident woman can still feel the urge to be with a man who is not good for her. The lyrics explore the struggles of reconciling personal desires with rationality and self-preservation.
