In "Horses In The Stable," Ty Dolla $ign boasts about his ability to attract women in different cities, naming different women in various locations such as Chicago, Toronto, Utah, and New York. He describes them by their names and refers to their distinctive qualities. He tells them that he is not looking for anything more than a temporary relationship or a hookup for the night. Ty Dolla $ign makes it clear that he can have any girl he wants anytime, making it seem as if women are easily disposable and replaceable.
The song's chorus, "Horses in the stable that I can ride anytime," symbolizes his collection of women as if they are horses that he can pick and choose. The metaphor of the horses suggests that he is in control and that the women are like property. He repeats the phrase several times to emphasize his point, highlighting his power over these women. Ty Dolla $ign explains that if a woman can give him what he wants sexually, he will come back for more; otherwise, he moves on to the next one.
