one night
Lil Yachty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you want this for life
Taking pictures with all my ice
But I can't have no wife
I just want you for the night
I know you want this for life
Taking pictures with all my ice
But I can't have no wife
I just want you for the night

I know you want this for life
Fuck you so good you be calling out the Christ
Bottles of the Tech got it laid on ice
We spent four seasons at the Four Seasons twice
You be calling all your homegirls like "I'm his wife"
Hell nah, you trippin', reevaluate your life
I can't love no bitch, every single ho is trife
I sip dirty Sprite just to get me through the night
But I need you there
Promise that I need you there
Ain't no other bitch gon' fuck me like you do I swear
Put that on my gang I swear
I just can't put you on front street like you want I know
But baby you is not no ho
And I put it on my gang I'm not no average Joe
It's Yachty from the block you know

I know you want this for life
Taking pictures with all my ice
But I can't have no wife
I just want you for the night
I know you want this for life
Taking pictures with all my ice




But I can't have no wife
I just want you for the night

Overall Meaning

The song "1 Night" by Lil Yachty is essentially a track about a one-night stand. The lyrics describe someone who wants to be with Lil Yachty for life, taking pictures with all his expensive jewelry and accessories, but he can't commit to a serious relationship. He only wants the person for the night, as evidenced by the repeated chorus, "I know you want this for life, but I can't have no wife. I just want you for the night."


Throughout the verses, Lil Yachty brags about his wealth, his prowess in bed, and his ability to attract women. He talks about taking his partner to the Four Seasons hotel twice and how he likes to drink lean (a narcotic concoction made from codeine cough syrup and soda) to get through the night. He acknowledges that his partner is not a "ho" and that she provides an experience he can't get from anyone else, but he still can't commit to a relationship.


Overall, the lyrics speak to the idea of living in the moment and enjoying life's pleasures without worrying about the future. Lil Yachty embraces a more carefree attitude, prioritizing instant gratification over long-term commitment.
