Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I say I love you, then it′s only for the day
I don't wanna talk, then we not talkin′ 'bout it yet
If it ain't ′bout money, then we gotta separate
Oh my god, oh my god
Shawty got the cake
Red dot, red dot
Choppa hit his face
I don′t even know if I'ma make it through the day
Nina got a choppa with a K, ay
Nina got a choppa with a K
Made it out the mud
And I done made it out the clay
If he run up on me then I make him pass away, ay
They not really steppin′ to the gang
They not really steppin' to the gang
They not really steppin′ to thе gang, no
They not really steppin' to thе gang, no

The lyrics of d4vd's song "Separate" depict a mix of themes surrounding love, violence, money, and self-doubt. The opening lines paint a picture of a dangerous and unpredictable woman named Nina, who possesses a powerful weapon, a choppa (a slang term for a firearm, likely an AK-47). The singer acknowledges that any proclamation of love they make is only temporary, implying a sense of fleeting and transactional affection.
The desire to avoid discussing certain topics until the right time is conveyed with the line, "I don't wanna talk, then we not talkin' 'bout it yet." This could suggest a fear or unwillingness to address certain issues within a relationship. The singer also establishes their priority for money, stating, "If it ain't 'bout money, then we gotta separate." This indicates a clear focus on financial success and a potential willingness to sever ties with those who do not prioritize the same.
The chorus introduces a spiritual element, with the exclamation of "Oh my god." The next lines imply that the woman in question, Shawty, has a tempting allure, as she possesses the metaphorical "cake." However, the mention of a "red dot" and a violent act with the choppa suggests that danger and violence are not far behind. Despite this, Shawty's affection has the ability to elevate the singer, as they state, "Always down to kiss me, got me higher than a plane."
In the second verse, the focus shifts back to Nina and her lethal choppa. The singer emphasizes their ascent from difficult circumstances, using the metaphors of mud and clay to symbolize a challenging past. Any potential threat that comes their way will be dealt with swiftly, as they claim, "If he run up on me then I make him pass away."
The repeating lines in the latter part of the lyrics, "They not really steppin' to the gang," further establish a sense of empowerment and superiority within their circle. It suggests that those who pose as rivals or challengers are no match for the singer's gang. The repetition strengthens this message, with the final lines emphasizing the defiance and confidence, stating unequivocally, "They not really steppin' to the gang, no."
Overall, "Separate" conveys a mix of themes including temporary love, the allure of money, danger, self-empowerment, and the boasting of one's gang affiliation.
