Invitation

The song is an empowering anthem against sexual assault and objectification of the female body.

Here's my interpretation on the lyrics:

"He said he needs it or he'll die Touching on my inner thigh" This is about how some men try to guilt women into sleeping with them. Claiming it's a need instead of a want. Some even go as far as saying men have the right to have sex and therefore women should give them sex. Those people are called (and they call themselves) incels, or involuntary celibatists.

"Dirty seedy kinda guy His castration would be nice" Castration is the medical procedure of removing the testicles. The narrator is being sexually assaulted and coerced (says he needs it or he'll die, touching on her inner thigh) and has a brief thought that men like these should be castrated (so they can't use their penis in the assault) and that she feels so much anger towards him she would enjoy castrating him.

"And I'm just cruising on my bike Summertime, my T-shirt tight" Some men (and some women) blame the sexual comments/assault a girl or a woman receives on what she was wearing. In reality, what they wear has nothing to do with it. 100% of sexual assault is the assaulter's fault. It is perfectly normal to wear thinner and smaller clothing when it's hot outside. Also, even if she was naked, it would not be an invitation for sexual comments or assault. I would also like to point out her word choices. She's cruising on the bike instead of driving. She's on a bike rather than on a car, or jogging. My first thought is a pre-teen girl. I think it's intentional. It's supposed to make you feel grossed out by these kinds of men, to emphasize the message this song has. Also, sexual assault is rarely about sex, it's usually about control. These men want to control what a girl or a woman can or cannot wear, and if she doesn't, she "deserves" to be assaulted. Even if his clothing choices for her would make her uncomfortable (like warm, covering clothing when it's hot outside).

"He say I'm the type he like Like I'm a biscuit he could bite" These kinds of men also often objectify women - they either directly compare women to inanimate objects or indirectly talk about them like they're objects.

"I can't even wear my skin Without them asking where I've been Without them asking for a spin This is not an invitation" Like I said, it doesn't matter what she's wearing. A woman cannot even exist in her own body and not get comments about it. They ask her "where she's been", like has she been in a bar, drinking, which is another not-invitation to assault her, or has she been sleeping in a stranger's apartment after a one-night stand - this means she's "a slut" or "a whore" and again, this is used as an excuse to "ask her for a spin" aka ask her for sex. But even a girl or a woman existing in her own body is not an invitation.

"This is not an invitation Fuck you mean you need it? Fuck you mean you RSVPed? I don't need a reason This is not an invitation Fuck you mean you need it? Fuck you mean you need it?" The same message as previously, but also stating that she doesn't need a reason to say no to you.

"I could be lickin' on a lolly Dolled up like a dolly Short skirt, lil' hottie Don't you comment on my body" A girl or a woman can eat whatever she wants, even things shaped like a penis or things that when eaten, can resemble giving a blowjob, like bananas and lollypops. She can wear as much makeup as she wants - "dolled up" or "dolly" means that someone has a ton of makeup on, to the point they kinda look like a doll. She can wear however skimpy clothing she wants, and this is still not an invitation to comment on her body.

"Put a jiggle in my titties I can giggle like I'm silly" Breasts don't have bones or muscle in them, they jiggle when a woman moves around, when gravity affects them. A woman can also move the rest of her body in a way that she makes her boobs jiggle. Neither of these is an invitation. A girl of a woman can laugh at your jokes and it's not an invitation.

"Call me prudish, call me bitchy Knock you out with all that's in me" These kinds of men call women "prudish" and "bitchy" if they refuse to have sex with them.

Kodie Shane: "This is not an invitation She like to talk a lot, when I pull up, can't say shit I don't want that girl because she can't be patient Come with me right now, we about to switch locations So fuck with me, you need it I ain't fucking with these boys I got my reasons Diamonds on me just like lights they change the seasons I think you gotta do way more if you wanna please me Diamonds look like water on my girl, it look like Fiji Diamonds freeze me now forever diamonds 3D She can see me, VVS just like the TV, just me and AZ You know it's not debating, you can't replace me"

Kodie Shane's part of this song are the only ones I don't get. Lines 2-4 (She like to talk a lot --> switch locations) sound like they're a man talking. But I still don't understand anything except "switch locations", which is something rapists do - they kidnap a woman from location A but take her to a location B to rape her. This makes it harder for them to get caught.

Then she goes on about diamonds for the rest of the verse - Genius has pretty good explanations on them: https://genius.com/Ashnikko-invitation-lyrics I think AZ = Ashnikko. I think she's trying to say women are as valuable as diamonds (comparing them to inanimate objects...) or that a man has to court a woman with riches to get her (which is also problematic - woman are not objects you can buy, with money or diamonds!) I hate her portion on this song and without it, this song would be perfect.
