Song meaning

Timmy Turner is a character from the Nickelodeon animated series The Fairly OddParents , whose fairy godparents grant him wishes. In the context of this song, Timmy is a metaphor for Desiigner, the clue being the spelling of "Tiimmy" in the title. Desiigner explained in a video interview with All Def Digital: [10]

Timmy Turner is me. I was referring to myself when I was saying I "was wishing for a burner." And [...] I was referring to a girl that, you know, would do anything for the fame [...] I know that my soul's in the furnace; because if I know that I wish for the burner, and she knows that she would do anything for the fame, you know you go to hell. It's a storyline about little bit about my struggle and the pain I was feeling at the moment.
