The song 'Out thë way' by Yeat is a showcase of Yeat's boastful and indulgent lifestyle, focusing on his wealth, material possessions, and substance use. The lyrics convey a sense of reckless abandon and highlight Yeat's successes and luxuries. The track gained traction on social media platforms and was accompanied by a music video directed by Cole Bennett.
The opening of 'Out thë way' immediately plunges the listener into a braggadocious world where Yeat flaunts his ability to purchase a luxury car, painting it to match his flamboyant style. Yeat asserts himself as wealthy and unapologetically indulgent, throwing money and opulence around with a seeming indifference to consequence.
As the song progresses, Yeat navigates a landscape filled with both external and internal conflict. Mentions of evading police and asserting freedom against the 'chain gang' emphasize a life that is thrilling but also laced with danger and rebellion. His lyrics play with the imagery of being untouchable and above societal constraints while acknowledging the presence of adversity.
Yeat’s narrative continues to showcase a paradoxical relationship with success. Despite his wealth and material achievements, there's an undercurrent of seeking respect and validation ('I’m richer than all of the nerds'). His success is a point of pride but also a shield against the judgement of others, suggesting a deeper need for recognition that wealth and luxury cannot fully satisfy.
Towards the end of the song, the theme of evading the 'jakes' while partaking in narcotics ('swervin' it daily') conjures an image of escapism. This unruly lifestyle, driven by highs and the pursuit of pleasure, portrays Yeat as both the master of his fate and a character caught in a hedonistic cycle. The outward excitement, power, and allure of money sit in contrast to the unspoken costs of such a lifestyle, potentially hinting at underlying emotional complexities beyond what the braggadocio can express.
"I bought a Urus today, uh-huh, Paint it all yellow, look like a bird"
Yeat is talking about buying a Lamborghini Urus, an expensive luxury vehicle, and painting it yellow. This image reinforces the theme of extravagance and brash confidence that permeates the song.
"This shit could've gone so bad, this shit could've gotten the worse"
Here, Yeat is acknowledging the potential negative complications of his lifestyle, suggesting that there have been close calls, adding to the song's overall feeling of living on the edge.
"Free YSL out the chain gang, big fuck 12, they birds"
Yeat is expressing solidarity with friends who are incarcerated, particularly referencing Young Stoner Life (YSL) records, and displaying contempt for the police (referred to colloquially as '12').
"Twenty-four seven, I steady be poppin' these pillies, these muhfuckin' Percs"
This line reveals the relentless nature of Yeat's substance use, specifically mentioning Percocet, thus painting a picture of dependency and relentless pursuit of escape.
