In ScHoolboy Q's song "Bonita," the lyrics depict the artist's infatuation with a woman he has been following around all day. He approaches her with compliments, expressing his admiration for her style, features, and physical attributes such as her pedicured toes, outstanding hips, eyebrows, and lips. Despite being described as the roughest among his crew, ScHoolboy Q presents himself as genuine and different from other men. He declares his intentions to be a supportive partner, claiming there will never be another man better than him for her.
When the woman unexpectedly refers to herself as "Bonita," ScHoolboy Q responds by referencing "Bonita Applebum," potentially alluding to the classic song by A Tribe Called Quest. He emphasizes her flyness and offers to take her to his crib, expressing a desire to get to know her better. He imagines a future in which she becomes his girlfriend and evolves into his lady. The artist envisions upgrading her from a Honda to a Mercedes, signifying an improvement in her social status. ScHoolboy Q also mentions his dedication to her, comparing it to the influence of alcohol and expressing a desire to ink her into his skin.
