Minnesota
Lil Yachty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
'Cause it get cold like Minnesota, cold like Minnesota
Cold like Minnesota, cold like Minnesota
Need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
You need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
'Cause it get cold like Minnesota, cold like Minnesota
Cold like Minnesota, it get cold like Minnesota
You need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
'Cause it get cold like Minnesota, ridin' 'round on boulders
Money sittin' up, it sits way above your shoulders
I was eatin' pork and rinds with a bitch from New York Times
I don't eat no pork and rinds but that bitch was mighty fine
I got gold all on my necklace, tatted up my arms
Now my mama think I'm reckless, got guns under my mattress
I was juggin since a youngin', free my older cousin Reesey
He from Hamilton not D.C, I rock N.Bs like I'm Gleetchie
Flip phone banging off the walls, Gucci on my drawers
Why the fuck you in these streets if you scared of them four walls?
I was strokin' on your sister, she was callin' me her mister
She suck dick for a picture, it's Lil Yachty nice to meet you
I was juggin' off them stacks, countin' up them racks
Almost had a lifetime sentence, but I beat it, shout out to Pat!
Pat, that's my lawyer, he got me off them chargers
Eights stacks for that boy, he took care of the boy
Cold like Minnesota, cold like Minnesota
Cold like Minnesota, cold like Minnesota
Need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
You need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
'Cause it get cold like Minnesota, cold like Minnesota
Cold like Minnesota, it get cold like Minnesota
Need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
You need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
You need to stay up out the streets if you can't take the heat
When they said Lil Yachty hot, I'm like that's him or me?
Wrist like Minnesota, trapping Coca-Cola
Catching plays, Anquan Boldin
Jugg out the hot box, know that it's stolen
Large sizes, all type of narcotics
Woah, got a bankroll in that big body
I love my Motorola, I love my Motorola
I love my Motorola, I love my Motorola
Fuck 12 they can't pull me over
Smoking on gas and that odor
Cook it up then flip it over
You must've forgot it, we 'bout it like soldiers
It's cold but I got my shirt off
Trap niggas can't fall off
Big sack of molly, golf ball
Big sack of molly, golf ball
I trap in Minnesota like a viking
Flood out the Sky-Dweller, it got good lighting
We made the dab and all of y'all biting
Two thick white bitches, both of 'em dykes
I make a 50 before his acre
I was in the streets but I ain't have no cable
Me and Lil Yachty touch down at the safe house
Skippa Da Flippa, I will bring the rice out
Cold like Minnesota, racks on fall I told ya
I iced out my Rollie, then did the same damn thing for my brodies
All a nigga trap spot beating like a pulse
I could put the heat inside the kitchen like a baller
I could fill your bitch head up like a lawyer
Ain't know, never no sign posts
Beat machine, beat machine
I'm cooking bean on jelly beans
No need to smell it, all is clean
That money talking, Charlie Sheen
I'm riding Ubers with the toolie
I got more diamonds than your jeweler
I make her come back like I'm Yu-Gi
If you ain't know it now you knew it
I aim at her head like a sniper rifle
She can't be my bitch if she dyking dyking
I bought her a ring but no wifey wifey
She slurp on that dick and I like it, like it
No candy she Mike and Ike it
No Nike, she know I do it
I eat that bitch like a hockey pocket
No Nike, she know I do it
'Cause it get cold like Minnesota, cold like Minnesota
Cold like Minnesota, cold like Minnesota
Need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
Need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
'Cause it get cold like Minnesota, cold like Minnesota
Cold like Minnesota, it get cold like Minnesota
Need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
You need to stay up out them streets if you can't take the heat
In Lil Yachty's "Minnesota," the rapper delivers a message about the dangers of street life, warning those who can't handle the heat to avoid getting involved. Minnesota serves as a metaphor for the cold harsh realities of the streets. Yachty urges people to stay away from the streets if they cannot handle it, likening it to the cold winters of Minnesota. He tells listeners about his past encounters, including drug dealing, arrests, and violence. He talks about the consequences of his actions and how he is grateful for his lawyer's help in getting him out of prison. The song features a braggadocious tone and a catchy hook.
One interesting thing about "Minnesota" is that it was inspired in part by Lil Yachty's experience living in Atlanta during a particularly cold winter. The song also features verses from fellow Atlanta rappers Skippa Da Flippa and Quavo. Another fact is that the music video for the song was shot in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and features the rapper riding around in a snowy landscape. Despite being a relatively small city compared to other predominantly hip-hop scenes like Atlanta, Minneapolis has a thriving hip-hop community and has produced many successful rappers.
Additionally, "Minnesota" was originally released as a SoundCloud single and gained popularity online before being included on Yachty's debut mixtape, "Lil Boat." The song was produced by Yachty's frequent collaborator, Burberry Perry, who was also featured on the mixtape. Another interesting fact is that "Minnesota" was used as one of the campaign theme songs for the 2018 gubernatorial campaign of Minnesota gubernatorial candidate and former NFL player, Jeff Johnson.
