Lyrics

Yeah (ooh)
(Runnin’ up bands, this shit gettin’ dumb, yeah)
(back of the Benz, I was like, “Hell, yeah,” yeah)
(Counting up money, this shit so fun, yeah)
(Fully loaded, ’bout to load up my gun, yeah)

When you live like this, this shit so fun (honeybun)
When you count that bread, this shit get dough (honeybun, up on the)
Up on the sofa, catchin’ dome (woo)
I bought the Tonk’, I bought the truck (skrrt)
Stop callin’ my phone, just leave me alone, yeah, damn it (yeah)
I’m not from this zone, I’m not from my home, I’m not from this planet (yeah, yeah)
I’m high on life, my Glock talk to me, it told me, “Go blam it” (bop, bop)
Yeah, fuck what you sayin’, you a lil’ bitch, go talk to your mommy (mommy)
I don’t got time for the fuss, ridin’ ’round, I be collectin’ them bucks
I’m ’bout to, skrrt, no fucks, I’m ’bout to swerve and back on the trucks, yeah
I don’t give a fuck that’s a plus, whole lot of money on me, got ’em bucks
All double Givenchy, addicted to bust (the bust)
Uh, I’m ’bout to bet there’s a bus (oh, yeah)
I’m ’bout to hop out the Range, I don’t give a fuck where they layin’
I be collectin’ my chains, Rolls-Royce got the umbrella for rain (skrrt)
Bitch, it’s a wonderful day, dippin’ and dappin’, don’t make no mistakes
Cook his ass up like a grill, like a steak
I don’t give a fuck what you say, you can’t stay (no, no, no)

I didn’t deserve it, I didn’t deserve it, I didn’t deserve (yeah)
Any time that I want, bitch, I’m leavin’ this earth, yeah, ah
They told me, “Get back,” bitch, there’s still bills for the birds (brr)
And fuck what you think, ’cause you wish for the worst (dah)
No, don’t you did it, I’m pushin’ my limits, ah (pushin’ my limits)
I’m squeezin’ that bitch just like squeezin’ some lemons (yeah)
Ah, fuck what you said, bitch, I’m pushin’ them limits, yeah (ooh)
Back in the day I was ridin’ that Civic, I’m pushin’ the limits, no gymnast, yeah (ooh)
Pull up, I’m in that lil’ Urus, I’m swervin’ and dappin’, that bitch in my business (oh, yeah)
Bought a new Patek, it sit on my wrist, and it glisten, them motherfucker listen to me
‘Cause I’m talkin’ a lot, and I’m walkin’ a lot, got a lot of money on me, parkin’ the lot (woah)
I got them woods, got them bitches in the back, got the bricks in the back
got them racks in the bag (ack)
I got a Glock and it sit on my lap, ’bout to shoot, go “doo-doo-doo-doo” and they dead
I already said it a million times, but I’m ’bout to go back and just say it again (yeah)
Bitch, it’s fuck what you said, and it’s fuck what you read
I don’t give no fucks, bitch, you better off dead (yeah)
Lizards all slimy like this, bitch, I leave ’em on read

Yeah (ooh)
(Runnin’ up bands, this shit gettin’ dumb, yeah)
(back of the Benz, I was like, “Hell, yeah,” yeah)
(Counting up money, this shit so fun, yeah)
(Fully loaded, ’bout to load up my gun, yeah)

When you live like this, this shit so fun (honeybun)
When you count that bread, this shit get dough (honeybun, up on the)
Up on the sofa, catchin’ dome (woo)
I bought the Tonk’, I bought the truck (skrrt)
Stop callin’ my phone, just leave me alone, yeah, damn it (yeah)
I’m not from this zone, I’m not from my home, I’m not from this planet (yeah, yeah)
I’m high on life, my Glock talk to me, it told me, “Go blam it” (bop, bop)
Fuck what you sayin’, you a lil’ bitch, go talk to your mommy (mommy)
I don’t got time for the fuss, ridin’ ’round, I be collectin’ them bucks
I’m ’bout to, skrrt, no fucks, I’m ’bout to swerve and dab on the trucks, yeah
I don’t give a fuck that’s a plus, whole lot of money on me, got ’em bucks
All double Givenchy, addicted to bust (the bust)
Uh, I’m ’bout to bet there’s a bus (oh, yeah)
I’m ’bout to hop out the Range, I don’t give a fuck where they layin’
I be collectin’ my chains, Rolls-Royce got the umbrella for rain (skrrt)
Bitch, it’s a wonderful day, dippin’ and dappin’, don’t make no mistakes
Cook his ass up like a grill, like a steak
I don’t give a fuck what you say, you can’t stay (no, no, no)

In a musical landscape flush with invigorating beats and audacious lyrics, Yeat stands out with ‘Bëttr 0ff,’ a track that seamlessly marries the essence of high-octane living with a masterful rhythmic flow. The song encapsulates a lifestyle where pleasure and material success intertwine, narrating Yeat’s personal journey and mindset.

At first glance, ‘Bëttr 0ff’ may strike as another addition to the braggadocious tracks populating the charts, but diving deeper into the lyrics reveals a complex tapestry of themes – identity, alienation, and hedonism – speaking to Yeat’s experiences and philosophical stance.

The Wild Ride of Success: More Than Just a Party Anthem

Yeat’s ‘Bëttr 0ff’ is an energetic ode to the trappings of success. With visceral imagery of ‘runnin’ up bands’ and a ‘fully loaded’ lifestyle, the track’s infectious beat serves as a canvas for a deeper narrative—Yeat’s own brush with fame and fortune. The song brims with an unapologetic energy, a clear celebration of the financial highs life offers when you ‘count that bread.’

But Yeat doesn’t just flaunt success; he confronts it. The juxtaposition of the ‘honeybun’ with the ‘sofa, catchin’ dome’ line paints a picture of a high that’s beyond the physical into the numbing escape of excess. This isn’t just a party track; it’s a raw peek into the moments of solitude that success often demands.

An Outsider Looking In: Exploring the Alienation Amidst Affluence

The lines ‘I’m not from this zone, I’m not from my home, I’m not from this planet’ ring with a sense of alienation that contradicts the glorified lifestyle he portrays. This otherworldliness suggests that Yeat feels a disconnect between his present lifestyle and his origins, hinting at a persona torn between two worlds.

A recurring theme in hip-hop, the feeling of being an outsider even while at the pinnacle of popularity, is palpably expressed in Yeat’s recurring plea throughout the track to be left alone. It’s an intimate confession that behind the bravado, there is a soul seeking respite from an unrelenting spotlight.

In Search of Meaning: The Ominous Dialogue with Existence

The standout line ‘I’m high on life, my Glock talk to me, it told me, “Go blam it”‘ is haunting in its portrayal of life teetering on the edge. It symbolizes a macabre conversation where his weapon, a metaphor for power and control, beckons with a dark temptation.

Yeat grapples with the hedonistic lifestyle that fame has accorded him, and this internal dialogue is emblematic of the larger existential struggle he faces—as though he’s reaching for significance in a world where the physical and the metaphysical clash.

The Battle Cry Against Constraints: Defiance in Every Verse

The defiance in ‘I didn’t deserve it, I didn’t deserve it, I didn’t deserve—it’s fuck what you said, and it’s fuck what you read’ echoes as a potent rejection of any narrative imposed on him by others. With a rebellious tone, Yeat discards societal expectations and media portrayals, asserting his narrative on his terms.

This dismissal extends to critics and naysayers, embodied in the line ‘I don’t give no fucks, bitch, you better off dead.’ In this ruthlessly competitive arena, Yeat’s lyrics are a self-empowerment anthem—an unyielding stance in the face of adversity.

A Cryptic Farewell to Sentiment: The Hidden Meaning Behind the Bluster

‘Lizards all slimy like this, bitch, I leave ’em on read’ may be the track’s most cryptic line. Lizards, creatures often associated with coldness, could represent insincere or duplicitous individuals in Yeat’s world. To ‘leave them on read’ could be interpreted as Yeat’s dismissal of fake relationships and superficial interactions.

The song ‘Bëttr 0ff’ is thus transformed into a complex narrative—a sort of farewell letter to the unnecessary emotional baggage that comes with fame. Yeat crafts a raw reflection on the challenges of staying true in an industry built on illusion and deceit.
