[Verse 1]
Keep your 80 grand, residential brand
Had enough of your white Chucks and cargo pants
I'm that James Dean, I'm your Adidas Queen
Need a spot with some heat and hella caffeine
I'm moving uptown
Want it authentic so fuck a discount
Westbound, Clueless like Tai, I'm here now
Step down, thanks for the share, it don't mean shit
Two thousand miles away because I'm relevant
[Chorus]
Quit tryin' to claim me, lately
Ya frontin' like you made me, but baby
Your moves are too soft
Hop the fuck off
Bitch knows she's not on the block with me
[Verse 2]
What's she saying? Shouldn't talk like that
Boy, if I followed your advice then I'd be where you're at
Three digits on my cell, that spot can burn in hell
Apocalypse, they screamin' lit like it's still 2012
I keep it uptown, countin' up commas on my bank account
Westbound, but all locale's locals bump my new sound
Step down, up on this stage, my view's too loud
Go 'head and send that snap cause ho you know I'll tap you out
[Chorus]
Quit tryin' to claim me, lately
Ya frontin' like you made me, but baby
Your moves are too soft
Hop the fuck off
Bitch knows she's not on the block with me
[Bridge]
And you can post it how you want, you love to front
Used to give a fuck
And avoid it like a loner
But living on the coast, worthy shit has my attention
Post like it's legit, you love the pics
15 minutes end, my time begins
I’ll take the attention and I'll take it alone
[Chorus]
Quit tryin' to claim me, lately
Ya frontin' like you made me, but baby
Your moves are too soft
Hop the fuck off
Bitch knows she's not on the block with me
Traditionally, the more commas you have in a number, the higher it is. She’s saying the more attention she receives for her music, the more money she’ll make.
Tai Frasier is a character from Clueless, both a TV series and a movie. She’s a transfer student who’s finding it hard to adjust to a new school, since she differs from everyone else. In a similar fashion, dev feels like a stranger in a new environment.
James Dean, an iconic actor from the 50s, is widely recognized as the embodiment of social estrangement, mainly because of his role as a rebellious teen in Rebel Without A Cause. dev is the modern, female version of that. This idea is further emphasized with the mention of Adidas, sportswear that’s worn more for comfort rather than social status. Her style is toned down and raw, so she’s not one to flaunt a flashy lifestyle. Therefore, she lacks interest in any pretentious people trying to buy her time or attention.
In this line, she is referring to the commonly used phrase “your 15 minutes of fame”. Dev believes that after the attention she’s now receiving, instead of being over, she’s just starting and will only gain more success.
Instead of buying fashion at an outlet store or purchasing a knock off version, she wants the real deal of a product.
