The lyrics of Key!'s "Dig It" might seem fragmented and chaotic at first, but at their core, they paint the picture of a life of crime that is transformed into success through perseverance and hard work. The chorus starts with Key! comparing himself to a "dolphin straight out of water", which hints at him feeling out of place in certain social circles. The lines "Before it was gas packs, I was selling midget / I was outer space, Boba Fett, can you dig it?" suggest that he used to be involved in drug dealing, using code words to talk about substances. However, he now seems to celebrate his ascent to the top, where he is now "blessed" and has "TD Jakes money in the bank". The lyrics also reference popular culture, such as the TV show "Run's House" and rapper A$AP Ferg.
In the second verse, Key! continues to boast about his wealth, claiming to have "Everybody" on his side, although he acknowledges that the "Feds" are watching. He also references the fictional character Bobby Boucher, who is a waterboy turned football player, perhaps pointing to his own journey of transformation. The line "And I rep the 6, huh, like I'm fuckin' Drake" is a nod to rapper Drake's "6 God" persona and hometown of Toronto. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the message that despite the challenges, Key! was able to make it by working hard and staying driven.
