Moneybagg Yo's "A Gangsta's Pain" album shows an accelerated level of talent and emotion that we haven't seen of the rapper before. One song off of the project, "Wockesha," is representative of his growth as an artist. Per The Focus, a few listeners questioned why Moneybagg is singing about Waukesha, a city in Wisconsin. Rest assured that the rapper is not talking about Wisconsin on his track. In fact, he's not talking about a woman either. "Wockesha" refers to "lean" or "purple drank," which is an addictive beverage often made with codeine, soda, and hard candy.

On the track, Moneybagg personifies the beverage as a woman and delves into their toxic relationship — much similar to Tupac's "Me and My Girlfriend," where the late rapper sings of his love for his gun. Using a sample of Lil Wayne's cup speech and Biggie's "One More Chance," Moneybagg sings, "Sippin' chase with my reefer, can't get my mind off Wockesha/ Watch me put my heart in this cup/ In my feelings, she my therapist, I'ma talk to this cup (I swear)."

He raps in the second verse, "I hope I don't OD, she keep sayin', 'Pour me'/ [...] My b***h don't like you, you've been f***in' up my home (In my house)/ Relapsin' every time I try to leave you 'lone (I relapse, girl)." Although it may seem like the rapper is romanticizing his drug use, he understands the consequences that can occur from it.
