## Lyrics

The song features Lil Yachty comparing his playing with different individuals and items to that of the game peek a boo, and referring several pop culture franchises like Pokémon and Blue's Clues.

The song received particular attention for Lil Yachty's line "She blow that dick like a cello". Many pointed out that the cello is a string instrument, not a woodwind instrument. Lil Yachty later stated to Genius that he thought a cello was a woodwind instrument, and blamed his A&R for "listen[ing] to that song many times" and "allow[ing him] to say that". While trying to explain the line, Lil Yachty attracted further ridicule; he said he "thought Squidward played the cello, he don't, that's a flute", as Squidward actually plays a clarinet.
