[Intro]
(B-B-Bankroll Got it)
Ayy
[Verse 1]
Breakin' down and I had the whole world watchin'
But the worst part is really who watched me
Every night I cried, I almost died
And nobody close tried to stop it
Long as everybody gettin' paid, right?
Everything'll be okay, right?
I'm winnin', so nobody trippin'
Bet if I ever fall off, everybody go missin'
At night, I'm sittin' in a dark room thinkin'
Probably why I always end up drinkin'
Yes, I'm very depressed
How can somebody so blessed wanna slit they wrist?
Shit, I'd probably bleed out some Pinot
When they find me, I'm in Valentino, ayy
He pourin' me shots, thinkin' it's lit
Hah, little did he know
[Chorus]
This pussy depressed, hmm, I'm about to stress him, yeah
Pink nails 'round his neck, huh, but this ain't domestic, ayy
Think it's goin' down, hah, now he stand corrected, ayy
This pussy depressed, hmm, I'm about to stress him, ah
[Verse 2]
Ayy, damn, I got problems
Never thought a bitch like me would ever hit rock bottom
Man, I miss my parents, way too anxious, always cancel my plans
Pulled up, caught him cheatin', gettin' his dick sucked in the same spot I'm sleepin'
Lord, give me a break, I don't know how much more of this shit I can take (Ayy)
How long you been worried 'bout me, tellin' people that's not me?
Honestly, it kinda feel like you plottin', watchin'
Why is you speakin' on me at my lowest when you acted like you ain't noticed?
I was trippin', goin' crazy
And they lowkey hatin', so they ain't gon' say shit
Damn, I finally see it
I'm killin' myself when bitches would die to be me
[Chorus]
This pussy depressed, hmm, I'm about to stress him, yeah
Pink nails 'round his neck, huh, but this ain't domestic, ayy
Think it's goin' down, hah, now he stand corrected, ayy
This pussy depressed, hmm, I'm about to stress him, ah
[Outro]
I ain't goin', yeah, no emotion, ayy
Back outside, yeah, back in motion, ayy
He keep callin', hmm, I ignore it (Ayy)
He say I'm crazy, hmm, don't I know it, ah
[Intro: (B-B-Bankroll Got it) Ayy]
The intro sets the tone for the song, with the producer tag and a brief exclamation that signals the start of a profound and intense narrative.
[Verse 1: Breakin' down and I had the whole world watchin'...little did he know]
In this section, Megan reveals the pressure of living under public scrutiny while enduring personal pain. She describes feeling isolated despite being in the spotlight, suggesting that those around her are more concerned with benefiting from her success than supporting her emotionally. Her mention of contemplating self-harm highlights the severity of her depression. The vivid imagery of bleeding out in designer clothes juxtaposes her external success with her internal despair.
[Chorus: This pussy depressed, hmm, I'm about to stress him, yeah...This pussy depressed, hmm, I'm about to stress him, ah]
The chorus uses a provocative metaphor to express her emotional state. The phrase "this pussy depressed" suggests that her sexual and emotional energy is drained, impacting her relationships. The notion of stressing her partner indicates a reversal of power, where she intends to confront and correct the wrongs done to her.
[Verse 2: Ayy, damn, I got problems...I'm killin' myself when bitches would die to be me]
Here, Megan dives deeper into her struggles, mentioning her surprise at hitting rock bottom and missing her parents. The betrayal by a partner caught cheating in their shared space exacerbates her pain. She reflects on the lack of genuine concern from others, hinting at their hidden envy and ulterior motives. The verse concludes with her realization of self-destructive behaviors, despite being in a position others might envy.
[Chorus: This pussy depressed, hmm, I'm about to stress him, yeah...This pussy depressed, hmm, I'm about to stress him, ah]
Reiterating the chorus, Megan emphasizes the ongoing nature of her emotional turmoil and her determination to address the wrongs she's facing.
[Outro: I ain't goin', yeah, no emotion, ayy...He say I'm crazy, hmm, don't I know it, ah]
The outro portrays a shift in Megan's mindset. She declares her refusal to be consumed by her emotions, hinting at a newfound resilience. Her acknowledgment of being labeled "crazy" suggests she's aware of how her actions might be perceived but is resolute in her path forward.
