Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You drive shitty music, sussy boy, you are a flop
Seems the ladies nowadays, just use me as a straw
Write a story on my money, glad that that's the plot
So glad that I'm finally up next
Ever since a baby all I wanna do is flex
Thank God that I know I'm up next
Call me Ariana 'cause I'm thankful for my ex
You should know
Forty degrees or below
Got some frostbite from my neck
And on my wrist, I'm way too cold
Want a thottie that never fold
Got some ballet on my clothes
Baby tripled up his fee in just a year from doing shows, ayy
Skrrt a foreign and your wifey wanna jump in for a ride
I'm so sorry, lady friend, can't you see that I'm occupied?
Had to get my money up, I put it on my mom
You drive shitty music, sussy boy, you are a flop
Seems the ladies nowadays, just use me as a straw
Write a story on my money, glad that that's the plot
So glad that I'm finally up next
Ever since a baby all I wanna do is flex
Thank God that I know I'm up next
Call me Ariana 'cause I'm thankful for my ex
Some wait for me
Some waited to leave
Some waited for me to get it
But the moment I said it was the moment they'd beat
In trouble, let me down slow
Now I'm running this motion
Word around town is the moment's closing
Told you I don't care what you want from me, want from me
So glad that I'm finally up next
Ever since a baby all I wanna do is flex
Thank God that I know I'm up next
Call me Ariana 'cause I'm thankful for my ex
So glad that I'm finally up next (up next)
Ever since a baby all I wanna do is flex (flex)
Thank God that I know I'm up next
Call me Ariana 'cause I'm thankful for my ex

Forty degrees or below
It is extremely cold
Got some frostbite from my neck
I have frostbite on my neck
And on my wrist, I'm way too cold
My wrist is very cold
Want a thottie that never fold
I want a woman who will always stay loyal
Got some ballet on my clothes
My outfit has ballet-inspired elements
Baby tripled up his fee in just a year from doing shows, ayy
My friend made three times his original salary in one year by performing more shows
Skrrt a foreign and your wifey wanna jump in for a ride
Driving a foreign car makes women want to ride with me
I'm so sorry, lady friend, can't you see that I'm occupied?
I'm not interested in being with anyone at the moment
Some wait for me
Some people waited for me to succeed
Some waited to leave
Others waited for me to fail
Some waited for me to get it
Some people were patiently waiting for me to achieve success
But the moment I said it was the moment they'd beat
As soon as I announced my success, some people suddenly turned against me
In trouble, let me down slow
When I was struggling, people abandoned me slowly and painfully
Now I'm running this motion
I am in control of my success and my life
Word around town is the moment's closing
People are talking about how my success may be short-lived
Told you I don't care what you want from me, want from me
I don't care about other people's opinions or desires for me
