Cut It Off

In 'Cut It Off,' 24kGoldn delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship that has reached its breaking point. The song captures the emotional struggle of wanting to leave a relationship that has become toxic and unfulfilling. The repeated lines, 'I'm just tryna leave, girl, you don't really wanna,' highlight the internal conflict and the difficulty of making a clean break. The artist's use of alcohol as a coping mechanism, 'I don't usually drink but tonight, yeah, I'm on one,' underscores the emotional weight and the desire to escape from the painful memories of the past.

The lyrics also touch on themes of self-worth and personal growth. 24kGoldn asserts his value with lines like 'Ain't nobody on my level, this level headed so level up,' suggesting that he recognizes his worth and refuses to settle for less.

The use of 'Margiela sweater' and 'goin' ghost' adds a contemporary touch, reflecting the artist's lifestyle and the social context in which the song is set. The repeated refrain of 'done, done' emphasizes the finality of his decision, leaving no room for ambiguity. 'Cut It Off' is a raw and honest portrayal of the emotional journey of ending a relationship, capturing the pain, the struggle, and ultimately, the liberation that comes with letting go.
