Ty Dolla $ign's song Don't Judge Me speaks about his current state where he finds himself drinking and taking drugs. He is aware that most of his fans may not like his new lifestyle, but he is not asking anyone to accept or approve of him. He is stating that he is going through a lot right now and his habits are his way to cope with life's stresses. The song also mentions other things that Ty Dolla $ign spends his money on, and he seems to be living a lavish life with expensive jewelry, pricey clothing, and a fancy car.
The song's chorus, “On the liqs right now, don't judge me/ Right now, off a bean, don't judge me/ I might pop a seal in the mornin'”, highlights how Ty Dolla $ign is dealing with his life's lows, be it drinking or taking pills, and he understands that these are not the healthiest ways to deal with stress. He does not want anyone to judge him for his actions or assume that he is weak or lost. He also does not want others to question whether the choices he makes are valid or not. He is aware of the consequences of his actions, but he seems to accept them as a manifestation of how he is getting by in life.
The verse, “Gold heels and ice on your face/ What it matter? You didn't love him anyway/ Look how much you made/ Those for you, Manolo shoes, you got tricks up your sleeve/ Take you to the Hills to fuck on your face/ Little bit more than the drugs I take” brings in the perspective of someone whom Ty Dolla $ign is talking to or about. This person may have used similar coping mechanisms even if it costs them the relationships they have invested in. No matter what, they are still willing to do what they want, which is their way of dealing with things.
