sound with Doechii's hip-hop. The song's lyrics have been described as an anthem for female empowerment. Jennie and Doechii use the song to celebrate their success and rap about trading men and worries for funds and fast cars. The two artists take turns on different verses before uniting on the track’s "confidence-boosting" chorus, in which they chant "Do my ladies run this?" Jennie opens with a verse shouting out self-made women with financial independence in the line "This for my girls with no sponsor, they got they own fundin'", which alludes to her founding her own label Odd Atelier. Her rap includes the cheeky lyric "You sit too far down on 'em charts to even ask me who’s in charge", referencing her history of topping ''

She goes on to announce that she doesn't make any decisions with men in mind, saying "I'm not here for pleasin' the men / Not here to reason with them" and if that makes her seem "misbehaved", so be it.

They also clarify that they've earned their success through hard work and are reaping the benefits.
