A female empowerment anthem, the tune taps R&B siren Kehlani to serve as assistant.

“She don’t want drinks no more if you ain’t bringin’ no dough to the tablе / Ooh, ooh, you know that your bank account big, come back on a weekend, you ain’t able / Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, she gon’ be like, “I got it,” pull a thousand dollars out her side pocket / Ooh that lil’ bit of drank you tried to buy, stop it / Bottles on me, the cork look like a skyrocket, pop it,” Pain croons on the club-ready, DJ Montay-produced bop.
