Yeat's song 'Turban' from the album 'Up 2 Më' is a self-assured track that highlights his success, wealth, and carefree lifestyle. The title references the way he wears a designer scarf, similar to a turban, around his neck and face. The song's lyrics describe a lavish existence, complete with luxury cars, designer clothes, wealthy status symbols, and casual encounters. The overall tone is confident and celebrates Yeat's rise in the music industry and the wealth that comes with it.
The emotional journey in 'Turban' is one marked by bravado and self-celebration. Yeat starts the track by setting a scene of opulence with his 'perfect' appearance and casual references to drug use, which provides an initial emotional high, portraying the artist as someone who remains unaffected by conventional stressors, emphasizing a life unbound by regular constraints.
As the song progresses, Yeat maintains an air of nonchalance about his affluence and sexual exploits, adding an undercurrent of hedonism to the narrative. The repeated chorus 'It's her move' suggests a sense of control and indifference concerning the interactions he has with women in his life, indicating a detachment that comes with his status.
Despite the apparent confidence throughout the song, there's also an implicit reminder of the potential hollowness that such a high-flying lifestyle can bring. Yeat's repetitive assertions of wealth and status serve simultaneously as a celebration and a reinforcement, reflecting both pride and the need to reassert his position continually.
Ultimately, the track ends on the same note of excess and disregard for convention it began with, looping back to reinforce the artist's self-assuredness and the seemingly unbreakable cycle of indulgence that defines his emotional and physical world.
"Perfect, rockin' a turban"
Yeat alludes to his fashion sense, making a direct connection between the luxury designer scarf he is wearing and its resemblance to a turban, thereby subtly pointing to a cross-cultural aesthetic.
"Sippin' on mud but this bitch like bourbon"
The artist compares his preference for purple lean, referred to as 'mud,' with the woman's preference for bourbon, highlighting a contrast in tastes but also the intoxicating nature of their lifestyle.
"I took the coupe out the lot, bitch, I'm thinkin' 'bout swervin'"
This line underlines the recklessness and spontaneity that come with Yeat's success and his ability to act impulsively due to his newfound wealth.
"I'm 'bout to sign for a lot 'cause this shit ain't urgent"
Yeat rejects the need for urgency in his deals, showcasing his laid-back approach to business that comes from being in a position of power.
