Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thumb through the money 'til my hands hurt (Cash out)
Wanna go on a date? You gotta dance first (Yah, yah)
Take it to the paint, I gotta slam first (Yah, yah)
She be actin' stiff with the booty (On God)
Feelin' like I'm Biggie rockin' Coogi (On God)

In "Out for the Night," 21 Savage talks about his adventures with the women he's involved with. He begins by boasting about his sexual prowess, bragging that he gives his partner backshots 'til her back hurts, and how he counts money until his hands hurt. Despite his apparent obsession with sex and money, he explains that a women must dance first before he would even think to take her out on a date. In the second verse, 21 Savage speaks about a particular woman who is loyal to him and who he's willing to defend; he admires her resilience and independence since she doesn't need a man to defend her. The verse ends with 21 Savage expressing joy in being able to provide for the woman financially.
The chorus, "out for the night," repeats several times. It could mean that 21 Savage is out partying or hanging out with friends, hunting for more money, or maybe even just seeking more personal enjoyment while he has the chance. The songs title could also be reapplied as a creepy cryptic message that 21 savage is out and about at night and listeners should be careful. Ultimately, "Out for the Night" is a song that speaks to the lifestyle that many young people seek out: having sex, counting money, and going on adventures with people who are loyal to you.
