"If you frontin' I'll be bouncing" may be difficult to understand because it is all American slang. "To front" means to be too proud to admit that you're wrong or have made a mistake, while "to bounce" means to go somewhere or move on to something better. Doja Cat is saying similar to "if you can't admit I'm right, I'll move on to something better." Ex: This party sucks. I'm gonna bounce. Ex: He kept lying to his girlfriend, so she bounced.
