Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She want her a check she'll get her a check
Fuck a designer bag she'll go get a real bag she's
Working she's working these bitches are twerking I told toy she walk with purpose don't mess with them nigga the nigga a they
Potential by Tia London is a song about a strong and independent woman who is focused on her goals and is not easily swayed by material things or men who do not respect her. The opening lines of the song "Yeah (x7)" create a sense of confidence and self-assurance, indicating that the woman knows her worth and is unafraid to assert herself. The line "She want her a check she'll get her a check" shows that she is not looking for handouts or favors - she is willing to work hard and earn her own success.
The next line "Fuck a designer bag she'll go get a real bag" reinforces this idea that the woman is not interested in superficial material items. She knows that true fulfillment comes from putting in the effort to achieve her goals, rather than relying on external validation through expensive accessories or products. The repetition of the words "working she's working" emphasizes the woman's determination and perseverance, despite the presence of other women who may be more concerned with superficial things like twerking and socializing.
The last part of the chorus "I told toy she walk with purpose don't mess with them nigga the nigga a they" indicates that the woman is also aware of the potential danger of being in proximity to men who may not have her best interests at heart. She is not interested in wasting her time dealing with men who do not respect her or who may try to use her for their own purposes.
