There is no explicit language, sexual content, violence, or drug/alcohol references. The mention of 'big stacks' and 'racks' refers to money/success. The romantic theme is minimal and framed around rejecting someone who brings negativity. 'Cupid was stupid' is a mild, age-appropriate expression of romantic disappointment.

I'ma kick back Only thing I think about is big stacks (Racks, racks) Negative days, negative nights Baby, you're wasting all your time I can't relate, I keep it light No, no, no drama in my life (Uh) Wake up, yeah, makeup, maybe I need you? Nah, I been good lately Blowin' up, workin' busy You ain't worth my love if you only love to hate me Love, l-l-love, l-l-love How you love to hate me Love, l-l-love, l-l-love You ain't worth my love if you only love to hate me I'ma let you fade into the background Baby, all my shows are gettin' too loud Keep on turnin' it up when you want me down (Me down, me down, me down) Negative days, negative nights Baby, you're wasting all your time I can't relate, I keep it light No, no, no drama in my life (Uh) Wake up, yeah, makeup, maybe I need you?
