What is the meaning of “climax” as used in the lyrics?

The word climax has a plethora of meanings. However, having thoroughly analyzed the lyrics of the track and looked at how the word was used in them, we strongly believe that it refers to a lover. To better understand what we mean by that, let’s take a look at the below lyrics in which the word is used:

“You said no interest, said you found a better climax
You said he’s swagged out, you leave”

From the above lyrics, Thug is basically saying his backstabbing lover said she was no longer interested in him because she found herself a better lover (climax). And according to her, this better climax/lover is “swagged out”. FYI: Swagged out is a term used to refer to someone who is always seen wearing a lot of jewelry and very expensive and fashionable designer items. More often than not, swagged out persons tend to be very loaded (as in filthy rich).
