The song 'Yessirskiii' by Lil Uzi Vert & 21 Savage features bravado-filled lyrics that explore themes of wealth, lifestyle, and street credibility. Both rappers boast about their financial success, romantic conquests, and their no-nonsense attitude towards opposition. The lyrics are imbued with self-confidence and the assertion of their dominance in the rap game.
The opening verse by 21 Savage sets a defiant tone, with 21 Savage illustrating his readiness to defend himself and his allies against any threats. The emotional journey starts with aggression and a show of strength, reflecting the harsh realities of life where 21 Savage comes from. He makes it clear that loyalty is paramount and betrayal or disrespect towards his circle is met with retaliatory action. This is underscored by his proud affirmation of wealth and power, displaying a level of detachment by flaunting money and boasting about his accomplishments.
As the song transitions to the chorus, the mood shifts towards a more boastful and hedonistic vibe. The emphasis here is on pleasure and self-gratification, as 21 Savage talks about his relationships with women and his flashy lifestyle. The chorus hints at a carefree attitude towards love and commitment, as even engaged women are apparently drawn to 21 Savage's allure. The use of material wealth and fame to attract attention is central to this part of the emotional journey, suggesting a conquest-like approach to relationships.
Lil Uzi Vert takes the baton in the second verse, bringing a slightly different emotional flavor to the track. His verse is marked by swagger and nonchalance, depicting his disinterest in conflict unless provoked. Uzi’s emotional journey expresses an unbothered attitude; facing an attachment, he's quick to dismiss any emotional entanglement, reinforcing his independent, self-assured persona. Yet there’s a hint of an enigmatic curse, an undefined burden that he carries with a tough exterior.
As the song wraps up with 21 Savage returning for the third verse before Lil Uzi Vert's outro, the emotional journey seems to come full circle. The lyrics return to the initial themes of street credibility and unabashed self-expression. Both rappers portray an image of themselves as untouchable, enjoying the spoils of their success while maintaining a vigilance and readiness to address any challenges head-on. The outro by Lil Uzi Vert underscores the title 'Yessirskiii' – a playful yet assertive affirmation of their unyielding stances in life and as influencers in the rap industry.
"Y'all niggas rookies, I'm a vet"
21 Savage distinguishes himself from newer, less experienced individuals, calling himself a 'vet' or veteran, indicating his established status and experience in the music industry or possibly the streets.
"Put your girlfriend on the block list, 1600 Suicide Squad"
Lil Uzi Vert mentions rejecting someone’s girlfriend, implying non-interest, and mentions '1600', a reference to his block in North Philadelphia, presenting loyalty to his origins and his social circle.
"Draco with the drum and it's dirty"
21 Savage alludes to a 'Draco', a type of firearm, with a 'drum', which is a high-capacity magazine, and it being 'dirty' could imply that it has been used.
"These niggas tryna have beef with me, I don't even like shit that's fried"
Lil Uzi Vert uses a clever wordplay to express his disinterest in conflicts, comparing 'beef' (conflicts) to fried food, which he doesn’t prefer, indicating that he avoids negativity or drama.
