Gírias
Na letra, "go out bad/sad" significa experimentar um grande fracasso ou declínio, seja financeiro, social ou de reputação. "Cascade" refere-se a uma escola secundária específica em Atlanta, servindo como uma referência cultural. A expressão "ride the D like she's tryna drag race" é uma gíria sexual que sugere um ato de sexo oral agressivo e intenso. "Fix my percentage" indica a ação de otimizar acordos financeiros ou comerciais para aumentar seus próprios ganhos e riqueza. Por fim, "Gave away my thumbs and I stood three toes" é uma frase surreal e hiperbólica, que provavelmente busca transmitir uma indiferença às convenções ou contribuir para uma persona excêntrica, implicando uma resiliência peculiar apesar de perdas não convencionais.
