[Intro]

Huh

Huh, huh, huh, huh

Yeah


[Verse 1]

Cliché if it's not makin' dollars, baby, it's not makin' sense

How you picky with your art when you can't even pay your rent?

Chipped for years and years and years, but seems you haven't made a dent

All that dreamin' shit you chasin' showed its face then came and went

Feels like I'm out here scuba divin' with an anchor

While my people fightin' demons and the cancers

Tryna fix it singin' ballads, singin' anthems

How I'm so clueless with the last name Ansah?


[Chorus]

Shawty get, shawty get inspired

How 'bout that? How 'bout that this time?

Shawty get, shawty get inspired

How 'bout that? How 'bout that this time?


[Verse 2]

How he do that?

Can't be sittin' gentle in the storm, you gotta move that

I been busy breakin' down the walls, I'm gettin' through that

Girl, this ain't my final curtain call , I bet you knew that

Knew that, knew that, knew that

Trapped (Trapped)

How the fuck you figure that?

I can't be layin' on my back (I can't be layin' on my what?)

I hear them knockin' on my door

But love ain't livin' here no more

Holdin' life, I gotta squeeze (I gotta motherfuckin' squeeze)

These lemons got me on my knees

They bitin', they some fuckin' fleas

I'm snappin', I ain't sayin' "cheese"


[Chorus]

Shawty get inspired

How 'bout that? How 'bout that this time?

Shawty get, shawty get inspired

How 'bout that? How 'bout that this time?


[Bridge]

I don't see what you see, my baby

I don't mean what you mean, my baby

I don't see what you see, my baby

I don't mean what you mean, my baby, yeah

Mean, my baby, yeah

Mean, my baby, yeah

Mean, my baby, yeah


[Chorus]

Shawty get, shawty get inspired

How 'bout that? How 'bout that this time?

Shawty get, shawty get inspired

How 'bout that? How 'bout that this time?

A curtain call refers to the final performance of a show, where the performer is basically milking the crowd for applause

“Cliché if it’s not makin’ dollars, baby, it’s not makin’ sense”

Sense is phonetically identical to cents, which makes the line a double entendre on ‘making money / sense’

“Chipped for years and years and years, but seems you haven’t made a dent”

This is referring to debt, likely a college degree or mortgage, where people will work a very long time to barely keep up with interest payments
