Solána Imani Rowe, known professionally as SZA, is an American singer and rapper. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, she began making music in the early 2010s, releasing two extended plays before signing with the hip-hop record label Top Dawg Entertainment, through which she released Z (2014), her third EP and first retail release.

In addition, “Kill Bill” is the second track on SZA’s sophomore album SOS. The title references the iconic Kill Bill film duology directed by Quentin Tarantino.
SZA – Kill Bill LYRICS
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’
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
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 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 sayin’ over a beat
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
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 it all of this sober
I did it all for us, oh
I did it all for love (Love)
I did it all of this on no drugs (Drugs)
I did it all of this sober
Don’t you know I did it all for us? (I’ll kill your ex tonight)
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
What is SOS about?
I interpreted SOS as SZA coming to the realization that she is scared of herself and sending out a distress signal to anyone who will listen. If the album is working in tandem with Ctrl, then this sees her losing that sense of control and going through a roller coaster of emotions.
On the one hand, she’s scared of what she might do, like killing her ex and his new girlfriend (not literally, but she thinks about it) or just screaming about not knowing what to do without her ex’s presence in her life on “F2F.” SZA sings, “Nobody gets me like you/ How am I supposed to let you go?/ Only like myself when I’m with you.”
