Yeat's 'Monëy so big' is a braggadocious track that celebrates the rapper's financial success and status in the music industry. The lyrics showcase Yeat boasting about his wealth and luxurious lifestyle, using colorful metaphors to equate his money to 'big body' and 'Tonka', indicative of something large and powerful. Concurrently, he distances himself from negative influences by rebuking others' falsehoods and affirming his superior position over imitators.
The song starts with a grandiose assertion of wealth and independence, setting a tone of empowerment and self-sufficiency. Yeat immediately establishes his dominance and asserts that he does not need or want anyone who is detrimental to his success—cementing an aura of untouchability.
As we ride the waves of beats and bars, Yeat's emotional state sways between arrogance and confrontation. He expresses disdain for copycats and critics, asserting his uniqueness and authenticity. This showcases a protective stance toward his achievements, as if constantly under threat from lesser artists trying to leech off his success.
In a turn away from external battles, Yeat delves slightly into introspection, hinting at a relationship with darker forces, symbolized by his line about the 'devil' on his phone. This could represent the temptations or moral compromises associated with fame and fortune, portraying a more complex emotional state beneath the bravado.
The chorus brings us back to the anthem of Yeat's financial prowess, maintaining a more celebratory mood while interspersing it with aggressiveness towards the doubters and haters. The repeated assertion of his wealth acts as an insulating barrier from anyone who aims to bring him down.
