[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Doja Cat talks about riding a coattail, which means benefiting from someone else's success or popularity. She mentions that this isn't her fourth meal, possibly alluding to Taco Bell's "Fourth Meal" campaign, and implies that she's still maintaining her figure ("thicker than some oatmeal"). She talks about having a luxurious lifestyle, including buying expensive properties and not needing to worry about her phone. She also references having professionals around her and losing crystals from her toenails while performing, indicating a glamorous life.

[Chorus]
The second chorus repeats the same lines from the first chorus, emphasizing the ease and simplicity of the situation, akin to taking candy from a baby.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Doja Cat uses wordplay and metaphors to express her confidence and dominance. She talks about being superior to others in the music industry and suggests that her success is effortless compared to others who are trying to copy her style or emulate her achievements. The mention of drugs like coke, crack, and meth might be a metaphor for the addictive and powerful nature of her music. She essentially claims that she is at the top of her game, while others are struggling to imitate her.

[Chorus]
The third chorus repeats the same lines from the previous ones, emphasizing the ease of her success.
