[Intro]
Great John on the beat, by the way
Satorii
She over twenty-one
Seen n!ggas in Paris
She said she

[Chorus]
She said she a savage, she over twenty-one
Seen n!ggas in Paris, she said she wanna come
She said she embarrassed, a new body, I bought her one
And this a Glock 17, this ain’t no water g*n
She said her heart got colder, she said, “It’s over”
It’s easy when you high, it’s harder when you sober
Like, I’m just tryna hit some s*it like Sammy Sosa
Hit a lick and then she lick me, said she coming over

[Refrain]
She said, “Why you don’t show love?”
That’s hard for me ’cause I want you so much
Okay, let’s go
“Why you don’t show?”
That’s hard for me ’cause I want you so
Okay, let’s go

[Verse 2]

Ex was trash, why you mad? Girl, relax, ayy
Ooh, she bad, double tap, I want that, ayy
(Ooh, she bad, ayy, double tap, ayy)
Run up that money, you told me I’m tripping, I told you I wanted it all
Fu*k that s*it, can’t trust this b!tch, she really be throwing me off
She said, “Do you believe in God? Do you hate the law?
Are you high right now, and do that new b!tch turn you on?”
And I say, “Hell yeah,” uh

Can’t you tell I’m ’bout to— I’m ’bout to—

Shawty asked if she could fu*k, I told her, “Hell yeah”
I told her, “Hell yeah, hell yeah”
Can you stop thinking for yourself? That s*it affecting me
That s*it affecting gang, that s*it affect the team
I’m still myself, ain’t give a fu*k who is accepting me
She want the best for me, this what she said to me

[Refrain]
“Why you don’t show love?”
That’s hard for me ’cause I want you so much
Okay, let’s go
“Why you don’t show?”
That’s hard for me ’cause I want you so, uh
Okay, let’s go

[Chorus]
She said she a savage, she over twenty-one
Seen n!ggas in Paris, she said she wanna come
She said she embarrassed, a new body, I bought her one
And this a Glock 17, this ain’t no water g*n
She said her heart got colder, she said, “It’s over”
It’s easy when you high, it’s harder when you sober
Like, I’m just tryna hit some s*it like Sammy Sosa
Hit a lick and then she lick me, said she coming over

[Refrain]
She said, “Why you don’t show love?”
That’s hard for me ’cause I want you so much
Okay, let’s go
“Why you don’t show?”
That’s hard for me ’cause I want you so, uh
Okay, let’s go

[Intro]
The introduction sets the stage with a shoutout to the producer and a reference to “Satorii,” possibly an allusion to enlightenment or understanding. Mentioning being “over twenty-one” and having seen people in Paris could suggest maturity and exposure to worldly experiences.

[Chorus]
The chorus portrays a woman who exudes confidence (“a savage”) and desires adventure, as indicated by her wish to visit Paris. She seems appreciative of material gestures like a new body (possibly referring to cosmetic enhancements) and the protection of a Glock 17. Despite her tough exterior, there’s a hint of vulnerability as she acknowledges her heart growing colder and the complexities of sobriety versus intoxication.

[Refrain]
The refrain reflects on the struggle to express affection. The repetition emphasizes the difficulty the protagonist faces in demonstrating love, likely due to internal conflicts or past experiences. Despite the desire for emotional connection, there’s a hesitancy or fear of vulnerability, but the resolve to move forward is evident.

[Verse 2]
This verse delves into a relationship dynamic, where material possessions like a Birkin bag symbolize status and value. The protagonist dismisses past relationships (“Ex was trash”) and confronts the challenges of trust and communication. Questions about belief in God and attraction to others highlight deeper existential and relational inquiries. Despite external pressures and skepticism, there’s a desire for authenticity and acceptance.

[Refrain]
Similar to the previous refrain, this repetition emphasizes the struggle with expressing love and vulnerability. The protagonist acknowledges the difficulty in showing affection despite a strong desire for emotional connection, indicating a recurring theme of inner conflict and longing.

[Chorus]
Reiterating the themes introduced earlier, this chorus emphasizes the woman’s assertiveness and desire for adventure. Despite moments of vulnerability and emotional coldness, there’s a sense of longing for connection and intimacy, juxtaposed with references to materialism and hedonism.

[Refrain]
The final refrain echoes the earlier struggles with expressing love and vulnerability, reinforcing the internal conflict faced by the protagonist. Despite the challenges, there’s a willingness to confront these emotions and pursue genuine connection, underscoring the song’s themes of desire, struggle, and resilience.
