    Why can't pop artists write a song with interesting or smart lyrics?

    240 million views, a nice video, a lot of work making the music, but dumb lyrics that aren't even interesting.

    A short song talking about him being rich? Don't people have meetings to approve songs before they make videos and sell records?

    Lyrics:

    I'm tryna put you in the worst mood, ah
    P1 cleaner than your church shoes, ah
    Milli point two just to hurt you, ah
    All red Lamb’ just to tease you, ah
    None of these toys on lease too, ah
    Made your whole year in a week too, yah
    Main bitch out your league too, ah
    Side bitch out of your league too, ah
    House so empty, need a centerpiece
    Twenty racks a table cut from ebony
    Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
    Then she clean it with her face man I love my baby
    You talking money, need a hearing aid
    You talking 'bout me, I don't see a shade
    Switch up my style, I take any lane
    I switch up my cup, I kill any pain
    Look what you've done
    I’m a motherfuckin' starboy
    Look what you've done
    I'm a motherfuckin' starboy
    Every day a nigga try to test me, ah
    Every day...
