The chorus of Trippie Redd's song 'Take One' emphasizes the idea that one cannot be considered as part of a group until they have taken a drug, referring to the usage of substances as a rite of passage among certain groups of people. The artist asserts his independence and freedom, stating that he is like a free man or a Mason, alluding to the idea of being part of a secret society with its own code of ethics. He then describes his luxurious and spacious lifestyle, with a Bentley and a mobile home having enough rooms to feel like Heaven.
He goes on to say that he is not afraid of facing the devil while also embracing God, implying that he is accepting of both good and evil. The artist also makes it clear that he will not hesitate to take down anyone who tries to cross him. In the verse, he highlights his indifference and carefree attitude towards everything apart from his personal relationships and indulgences. He talks about spending a considerable amount of money on Don Julio, a high-end tequila brand, as he tries to entice someone to do something unusual. He ends the verse by describing his jewelry's appearance, comparing it to his cuticles.
