This is from the lyrics of Dua Lipa's song, IDGAF. Can someone explain the meaning of that line?
Does it mean like "Why are keep trying to call me?" or similar to that?

I read the lyrics.
After she says “I see you tryna’ get to me”
She says
“I see you beggin' on your knees
Boy, I don't give a fuck
So stop tryna' get to me
Tch, get up off your knees
'Cause, boy, I don't give a fuck
About you”
The boy is trying to get her to react, in this case feel sorry for him. He is doing this by begging and pleading, but she doesn’t give a fuck.

Tryna is a slang for "trying to"
"get to" is to make someone feel bothered/annoyed/upset
So "I see you tryna get to me" is like she know someone's trying to bothers/annoys her
