Theme[]

Ashnikko spoke about the song's theme via Apple Music:[1]

As a woman in music, I have definitely encountered a lot of toxic men. I always find it really difficult when people, especially men, are like, “I made you who you are.” It’s like, “No, actually, I worked extremely hard and you helped me with a lot of things, but I made this music.” The unnamed man this song is about knows who he is—and he should feel bad. There are some songs that are very cathartic, and this is definitely one of them. It’s my power anthem, which is why the bass is extremely heavy. I wanted it to feel like a smack in the face.

Ashnikko, via Apple Music

Lyrics[]

[Intro]
Yo, mmm

[Chorus]
You can't stand to see me shine, better buy a visor
You don't ever cross my mind, what's a sheep to a tiger?
On your horse so high, swear to God I'm higher
Know you're beggin' for a dime, I'ma throw you a fiver
Beggin' for it, beggin' for it, beggin' for some relevance
As soon as I pull up on you, scare you like a skeleton
You can't stand to see me shine, better buy a visor
You don't ever cross my mind, what's a sheep to a tiger?

[Verse 1]
Leeches, leechin', wanna juice me, peaches
All eyes on me, peepers, you are jeepers creepers
Call me your fuckin' diva, I'm an overachiever
I'm a knockout, anesthesia, give me a breather

[Pre-Chorus]
Heard the gossip, heard a rumor
That you said you made me who I am
You think you're the man
You're so toxic, like Britney bitch
I drop you just because I can
You think you're the man, bitch please

[Chorus]
You can't stand to see me shine, better buy a visor
You don't ever cross my mind, what's a sheep to a tiger?
On your horse so high, swear to God I'm higher
Know you're beggin' for a dime, I'ma throw you a fiver
Beggin' for it, beggin' for it, beggin' for some relevance
As soon as I pull up on you, scare you like a skeleton
You can't stand to see me shine, better buy a visor
You don't ever cross my mind, what's a sheep to a tiger?

[Verse 2]
Self-made, self-paid, how dare you speak my name?
Where were you yesterday? So lame that I'm your only claim to fame
No way, cliché, you grown man playin' games
I'm on pointe like ballet, you three-headed snake

[Pre-Chorus]
Heard the gossip, heard a rumor
That you said you made me who I am
You think you're the man
You're so toxic, like Britney bitch
I drop you just because I can
You think you're the man

[Chorus]
Beggin' for it, beggin' for it, beggin' for some relevance
As soon as I pull up on you, scare you like a skeleton
You can't stand to see me shine, better buy a visor
You don't ever cross my mind, what's a sheep to a tiger?
