Rappers have personified their vices as love interests since the beginning of rhyme. Common used to love H.E.R. Scarface sought solace in Mary Jane. Pac has relied on his happy “girlfriend” in this sinful life. There’s a lot to be said about men seeing physical weakness as a woman’s temptation, but Moneybagg Yo takes it a step further by giving its dependents a pet name: Wockesha is his lover, his therapist, his crutch – but most of all she’s the one leaning in his styrofoam cup. Needless to say, it was a toxic relationship. “I hope I’m not OD/she keeps saying po ‘me,” Yo raps melodiously on the same sample DeBarge made Biggie’s “One More Chance / Stay With Me (Remix)” a the famous Bad Boy ballad 26 years ago. The problem is that Moneybagg Yo knows his thug passion for Wockesha is questionable. But it is a constant cycle of longing and being burned. “I’m done with you in a minute / I’ll be back in the next minute,” he confessed. “Going your way, I go your way / but somehow we are still attached.” In an era where addiction takes lives too soon, Moneybagg’s honesty is at the same time unsettling and intimidating.
Lyrics:
Yeah, I put the cup down for a minute but um
But honestly, it doesn’t matter what business is in my cup
What’s in your cup, what’s in their cup?
It’s your cup drink it
So whateva hell was in my cup
The only reaction I do is to become more popular
More successful has done more than I have ever done
I should probably pick up that cup again
I’m sitting here looking at Kiesha like do you love me do you love me
Damn, you hit the spot
Taste like candy, sweet like fruit
Wet like water, can you love me
Withdrawal I feel different every day, I need a medicine
Sometimes I still remember I had times when I met ghosts
But she’s mine, I’m stamping her, priority status for them other bitch to go crazy with her (too crazy, aha)
Passing a friend
I gave it to you for the 2nd time
Called I can’t leave you
Then I popped up like peek-a-boo
Here it is, more flyers than most Louis V coats
Gas station full cup coffee driving ion boat (nope)
Money can’t buy happiness but she found love inside a spot of wood
Head and something to eat, all the things a thug needs
Don’t lie that you get me more than my weed price
I’m showing my emotions as if I’m wearing them on my sleeve
One minute I’m done with you, I’ll be back the next
Go my way, I go my way but some ways we stick together
Tryna found my answer with this cup but not without truth
They’re like I’m dumbfounded for making love to you I’ve given stupid stands
I’m sitting here knowing that ion needs you to pour O in the cap
Sipping chatting with my coral, I can’t take my eyes off Wockesha
Watch me put my heart in this cup
In my feelings, she is my therapist, I am talking to this cup
Round the rose-z cup full of o-z
I hope I’m not praising, she kept saying blame me
Pass me purple demon emoji (devil)
Fuck me like you miss me, it’s been a week
This is not the playground we all loved (too big)
I’m so crazy, I pay four hunnids for an area (that’s powerful)
My bitch doesn’t like you, you damn my area (in my house)
Recurrence every time I try to leave you alone (I relapse)
People on the street look for her but she’s rare
Dark skinned purple hair stingy with her is hard to share
Never needed anyone but it’s great
There’s someone that someone
Drop you off and pick you up whenever I feel like it
This damn toxic
Let me know if you feel me
Hmmm hmmm
I have to stop it, I have to stop it
One minute I’m done with you, I’ll be back the next
Go my way, I go my way but some ways we stick together
Tryna found my answer with this cup but not without truth
They’re like I’m dumbfounded for making love to you I’ve given stupid stands
I’m sitting here knowing that ion needs you to pour O in the cap
Sipping chatting with my coral, I can’t take my eyes off Wockesha
Watch me put my heart in this cup
In my feelings, she is my therapist, I am talking to this cup
