The lyrics highlight this theme with lines such as:
“I like my girls. Pretty so fine. 1 plus the nine. How you got me going. Might just blow it.”
“Pretty in the face. Art piece to frame. Mona Mona Lisa. Yeah I need ya.”
“Don’t need no validation. Pretty so fine. 1 plus the nine. How you got me going. Might just blow it.”
