I need meds Lyrics – Lil Yachty

I need meds Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
He’s basically calling someone out to mature and get serious, with a hype, chaotic energy to set the tone.

[Verse]
Yachty kicks things off by saying he’s nothing like the other guys around him — he’s richer, flashier, and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He brags about wearing jewelry worth $160,000 in his ear and throwing around money without a care, referring to it as “dead old white guys,” meaning old U.S. presidents on dollar bills. He says even God knows he’s unbothered.

Then he talks about a girl who likes to get messy or dirty, and he’s not apologizing for anything — what happened, happened. She’s eating expensive food like calamari and still acts tough, but he doesn’t waste time with people who aren’t on his level. He calls out other rappers for acting tough but being soft. He mentions having a gun with a switch, showing he’s armed and ready if anything goes down, and he’s excited about the money he gets from performing.

He says he’s sparing people emotionally, like he could break hearts but chooses not to. He compares it to not being in a video game — there are real consequences. If someone crosses him, they better be ready to run, because he’s testing their stamina. He mentions having codeine in his blood, showing his heavy drug use. Even though the girl doesn’t really understand him, she still gets naked and rubs lotion on him, showing the physical attraction is still strong.

He makes it clear he’s not loyal to just anyone and won’t explain himself to women he’s not serious about. His drink, probably Sprite mixed with codeine, is so red it reminds him of the singer Otis Redding. He pops molly (MDMA), and that makes the girl act bold and affectionate. She pulls him close, and he says he’s “sick,” possibly talking about both being ill from drügs and feeling mentally off.

He says people ruined something so now he’s donating designer clothes (like Rick Owens) he no longer wants to wear — it’s outdated to him now. He likes getting his hair done with fresh acrylics, and he’s picky about cleanliness — no outside clothes in his bed. No girl can manipulate or play with his mind. He’s always ahead of everyone, leaving behind “footprints” to prove it.

He repeats that he needs meds, possibly to deal with his mental state or drug addiction. He calls some people “busters,” or fakes, and says he turned a woman into something sweet or soft, comparing her to custard. Her diamonds are so yellow she screams “mustard,” and his all-white car looks like an usher. He mentions a new Ferrari with a fast, luxurious vibe.

He says he’s got “flavors,” meaning he offers variety — maybe in women, drügs, or his lifestyle — and she’s all over him like he’s a lollipop. He’s chilling in a fancy place like Dave & Buster’s but leveled up. She gets overly excited around him, and he’s ready to go all in with her. He flexes owning five white cars, comparing himself to the pope, who rides in a white car. He doesn’t want to be seen as the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time), maybe because he doesn’t care for that label.

He talks about flying out to island locations, wearing diamonds so big they shine brightly, and being under pressure but staying cool. He admits to having ecstasy and coc*ine, and says codeine hits him like hard drügs. He’s not going back to any woman from his past — once she’s gone, that’s it. He’s fully detached and moving forward, no regrets.
