The phrase follows the structure of the verb tener (to have) followed by the noun labia.

The word labia refers to the lips, coming from the Latin labia meaning 'lips'. While it now means charm or eloquence, its anatomical connection suggests that one's 'rizz' comes directly from what is said with the lips.
In certain Latin American countries, people use the phrase tener chispa to describe a type of 'rizz' that is more about wit and energy than just smooth talking.
