Yeat's song 'Rackz got më', featuring Gunna, touches on themes of wealth, loyalty, and betrayal. The chorus conveys a sense that material wealth ('racks' or money and 'Percs' or Percocet) are more reliable than people, as money and drugs do not betray. The verses merge the lavish lifestyle the artists lead with their experiences of betrayal and trust issues, all set to the familiar sound that propelled Yeat's fame.
The emotional journey of 'Rackz got më' starts with a sense of alienation and distrust. Yeat reflects on personal betrayals, painting a picture where everyone, except material possessions and intoxicants, has 'stabbed my back'. The chorus sets a conflicted tone, juxtaposing the reliability of 'racks' and 'Percs' against the backdrop of disloyalty faced from others.
As Yeat continues into the first verse, he balances his cynical world view with a braggadocio that addresses his affluence. Despite feeling high 'as a plane' and disoriented by drugs—he admits to not having a plan and staying unphased by others—as he’s on a different level. This suggests a form of escapism through substances and materialism, a common theme in hip-hop.
Gunna's verse perpetuates the same sentiments, with an added focus on flexing the extravagant lifestyle: jewelry, high fashion, and opulent tastes. The emotional undertone here is a bravado that comes from overcoming obstacles, but it's tinged with the knowledge that such acquisitions can't provide emotional solace or true loyalty.
Throughout the song, there's also an undercurrent of defensiveness—both artists are not just flaunting their wealth but are also using it as a shield. The repeated mantra that 'racks' and 'Percs' don't betray emphasizes their safe haven among disloyal peers, leading to an emotional fortress built with narcotics and banknotes rather than trust in people.
"Racks don't stab my back (Uh) Percs don't stab my back, yeah"
The chorus symbolizes trust in material gain and substances over people, highlighting how money and drugs have not betrayed the artist like individuals in his life have.
"Yeah, I just added up bands for some Rick, I just pulled up on them with the twenty-two fit"
'Rick' refers to Rick Owens, a high-end fashion brand, signifying wealth and status. 'Twenty-two fit' implies a customized outfit, showcasing the luxury lifestyle.
"Let her count a few racks"
This phrase suggests empowerment and trust imparted to a woman by allowing her to handle significant amounts of money, which is contrasted with the overall theme of mistrust in the song.
"Syrup and Percocet, Syrup and Percocet"
Repeated for emphasis, this line highlights the recurring use of narcotics, potentially as a coping mechanism for the disloyalty experienced in interpersonal relationships.
