MusicLine 3

Playboi Carti

Cardigan points to Middle of the Summer, from Carti's 2018 album Die Lit, which brags about a $3,500 cardigan, and Fetti is one of his early songs. On the surface it's just clothes and money.

Film and TVLine 4

Jet Li

The martial arts star of Hero and Romeo Must Die. Kicking it, as in hanging out, becomes a kick.

BrandLine 5

Bic

The lighter maker, whose 1970s ads made flick my Bic a catchphrase.

Film and TVLine 6

Spike Lee

The director of Do the Right Thing, whose films are all billed as A Spike Lee Joint, which is why a joint comes first. Shooting means filming, a fitting boast from an artist who directs, and Spike's Air Jordan ads lead to Nike in the next line.

BrandLines 7 to 8

Nike Air Max

Nike's best-known running shoe line. The swoosh is shaped like a check mark, so maxing out and checking are one joke.

The storyLines 9 to 17

He means to stay unless she bails first. What puzzles him is why no one has claimed her yet.

The storyLines 18 to 25

The hook is a demand for honesty. He already suspects the truth and needs to hear it from her, which is why the title shouts.

The storyLines 26 to 33

He tells her to stop playing games. He's looking for someone to marry, not a side piece, and he says so plainly.

The storyLines 29 to 30

A waiter is someone who waits, and he's done waiting. The next line flips it to the restaurant, where she's the one serving.

The storyLines 31 to 33

Mistress sounds like miss this, and the next two lines spell that out: she's the one missing him.

The storyLines 39 to 40

Hurdles and a runner are track words. Calling her a runner is also calling her someone who bolts.

ReferenceLine 53

Wallahi

An Arabic oath meaning I swear by God, common in everyday slang as a way of saying you mean it.
