In this soulful tune, the artist implores listeners to stay aware and vigilant in their relationships. The term "stay woke" is a call to keep one's eyes open to the realities of life, particularly in love. The song explores themes of deception, betrayal, and the pain that comes when trust is broken. It warns about people who might seem trustworthy but could harm you when you're most vulnerable - hence 'gon' catch you sleepin'. At its core, it's a song about guarding oneself from emotional hurt and maintaining a sense of self-worth even when others try to take advantage of you. It also touches on regret and longing for what could have been if things were different.
