Matthews’ music weaves a web between various pillars of neo-soul, and sun-dried California hip-hop but at the center, there is a comprehensible Siifu. His persona is fully fleshed out: an earnest poet dependent on prayer but too shy to scan as self-serious, speaking his thoughts through the voices of others and disguising his own in crooked, glinting bars.

Doin Tew Much.

Why you gotta act like that?
Yeah you know it's me
Yeah you know it's me
Why you wanna act like that?
Why you wanna act like that?
Yeah you know it's me
That's on my mama
Back in it, (?)

Back in my, bag (yah, yah)
Why you gotta act like that? (ay)

Why? Why for a check such a child
Please sit yo back, calm down
It ain't all about a check, why jot
You doin too much
Anything you can touch, it's all paid for
All of this pain, a nigga done saved for
She was round outside, she had that weight on her
You was gon' ride all the time, gon' light a K huh
Tryna find some way to smile
Why I got a grill on
It didn't change
This don't change oh
It's still that same old (?), Still that same old stick
I don't gotta fuck that little fuck shit fuck we fuck the same bitch
That ain't my man oh
Shawty said she got little roster, that she don't claim hoes
She don't claim a thing
I ain't seen a ring
You should take notes
That's your OG
You should take note

I put that on little shawty name
I know she gon do her thing
I put that on little shawty name
I put that on little shawty name
That's on my mama name
That's on my mama name
I don't even trust you
I can't trust a thing
I put that on little shawty name
I put that on little shawty name
Rest of these hoes (rest of these hoes)
Be doin too much (be doin too much)
Rest of these hoes (rest of these hoes)
Be doin too much (be doin too much)
Rest of these hoes (rest of these hoes)
Be doin too much (be doin too much)

Why forestall
Deducing my respect you need to chill
While for a check that's how you feel, sit down
You're doing too much
You're doing too much
You're doing too-

Everyday guys die just like me
(?) no face (?) black tee
Prop to the hut and we still got drinks
Outside sun coming in fuck sleep
Lack that wrist we got receipts
(?)
Can't stress rather have my mind at ease
You dudes I don't respect boy

I put that on little shawty name
I know she gon do her thing
I put that on little shawty name
I put that on little shawty name
That's on my mama name
That's on my mama name
I don't even trust you
I can't trust a thing
I put that on little shawty name
I put that on little shawty name
Rest of these hoes (rest of these hoes)
Be doin too much (be doin too much)
Rest of these hoes (rest of these hoes)
Be doin too much (be doin too much)

Rest of these hoes (rest of these hoes)
Be doin too much (be doin too much)
