Here is a conversation from a "BBC Learning English" YouTube video:
Feifei: We sometimes put the word "straight" in front of "fire". "Straight" here means "very".
Roy: So I probably should have said your T-shirt is straight fire, then.
Feifei: Only if that's what you really think!
Do that sentence in bold mean "If you say so"? Or is there any other way to say that more naturally?
It means "Only say my T-shirt is straight fire if you really think my T-shirt is straight fire".
It is not really equivalent to "If you say so". Idiomatically, this expression implies a sort of sarcastic disagreement.
Peter: This T-shirt is excellent.
Jane: If you say so.
Here for example, the implication is that Jane does not think the T-shirt is excellent.
