SZA - Kill Bill
[Verse 1]
I'm still a fan even though I was salty
Hate to see you with some other broad, know you happy
Hate to see you happy if I'm not the one drivin'
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so mature, I'm so mature
I'm so mature, I got me a therapist to tell me there's other men
I don't want none, I just want you
If I can't have you, no one should, I might
[Chorus]
I might kill my ex, not the best idea
His new girlfriend's next, how'd I get here?
I might kill my ex, I still love him, though
Rather be in jail than alone
[Verse 2]
I get the sense that it's a lost cause
I get the sense that you might really love her
The text gon' be evidence, this text is evidence
I try to ration with you, no murders, no crimes of passion
But, damn, you was out of reach
You was at the farmer's market with your perfect peach
Now I'm in amazement, playin' on my patience
Now you layin' face-down, got me singin' over a beat
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so mature, I'm so mature
I'm so mature, I got me a therapist to tell me there's other men
I don't want none, I just want you
If I can't have you, no one will, I
[Chorus]
I might kill my ex, not the best idea
His new girlfriend's next, how'd I get here?
I might kill my ex, I still love him, though
Rather be in jail than alone

I did it all for love (Love)
I did it all on no drugs (Drugs)
I did all of this sober
I did it all for us, oh
I did it all for love (Love)
I did all of this on no drugs (Drugs)
I did all of this sober
Don't you know I did it all for us? (I'll kill your ex tonight)
[Chorus]
Oh, I just killed my ex, not the best idea (Idea)
Killed his girlfriend next, how'd I get here?
I just killed my ex, I still love him, though (I do)
Rather be in hell than alone
"Kill Bill" is about the intensity of unresolved feelings in a relationship, particularly when the other person has moved on. The narrator is expressing her frustration, jealousy, and pain from her partner moving on and thus, fantasizes about getting revenge by literally killing them and their new partner. She realizes this isn't a wise plan and is struggling to accept that the relationship may not have been meant to be and has reached a point of no return. Ultimately, her angry feelings power her to a place of acceptance and she's able to find closure in the knowledge that at least she put forth her best effort. The song gets its title from Kill Bill (2003–2004), a martial arts film duology that focuses on an assassin named the Bride and her quest to exact revenge on her ex-boyfriend through murder. Mirroring the films' plot, the song's lyrics discuss SZA's fantasy to kill an ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend out of jealousy.
