Genius Annotation

This is a clever song following the life of a broke party-boy rapper meeting an affluent and well-to-do girl. In exchange for the relationship and being a good man, his girl is agreeing to “pay for him” i.e. him not needing a job, with fancy meals and clothes included. It’s a good twist on contemporary lifestyle’s, where it is generally accepted that men should pay for women.

During interview with earmilk.com he mentions responds with the answer for the idea behind this song.

G sent me the record and he came up with the concept. I grew up with a lot of really rich girls so the track made a lot of sense. I was super comfortable being around girls who had way more money than me. I thought it was even better being a rapper because usually people expect you to pay since you have a lot of money. So the idea of spinning things around was really appealing.
