Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh
I done seen better days, oh
I need an umbrella, rain, oh
World tour, she want more
She talking about emotionallyBut that I can't afford
Yeah right, baby anything you want
You ain't gotta check the price
Yeah right, yeah right, yeah right
Yeah right, know I made you cry
But I can't open up
Fake love with effects on the side
Yeah, it's a side effect
I ain't gone diamond yet
So I told her had to focus while I'm writing this
And you know I'm not fighting it
Two more, we'll pop 'em like some vitamins
On Pluto, we gone see who the highest is
Two tone, we got ourselves some diamond wrists
And you know that through all the ups and downs
Baby I'll never leave you
And I hope that you never fuck around cause
This some shut we gotta see through
They think that I don't need you. yeah
If you cut me, I'll bleed too, yeah
And they steady yelling "me too", yeah
In the mirror, wanna be you, yeah
World tour, she want more
She talking about emotionallyBut that I can't afford
Yeah right, baby anything you want

Fake love with effects on the side
I could travel 'round the world without you, yeah
But I'ma pick you up, take you around too, yeah
Cause you know that right by my side
On my arm is the right place for you to be, yeah
And you know that all of the time
We spend together feels complete
Do you feel for me?
They'll ignore a fake smile
Cause they know that mine bling
I could spend another thou just to cover my feet
And they'd rather walk a mile tryna be like me
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
World tour, she want more
She talking about emotionally
But that I can't afford
Yeah right, baby anything you want
You ain't gotta check the price
Yeah right, yeah right, yeah right
Yeah right, know I made you cry
But I can't open up
Fake love with effects on the side
In "Yeah Right," M.I.M.E explores the challenges of maintaining a relationship while pursuing a career in the music industry. The opening lines, "They go and change it up on you / I done seen better days," suggest that change and uncertainty are constants in his life. This is further illustrated in the line "I need an umbrella, rain," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for needing emotional protection from the unpredictable turbulence of the music industry.
Throughout the song, M.I.M.E tries to reassure his significant other that he will always be there for her, although he acknowledges that his passion for music may make it difficult to balance a relationship. He says "World tour, she want more / She talking about emotionally / But that I can't afford," indicating that while he may not always be able to provide emotional stability, he is willing to give her anything else she wants. However, he also acknowledges the pain he has caused in the past, saying "Yeah right, know I made you cry / But I can't open up."
The line "Fake love with effects on the side" speaks to the pressure artists face to maintain their image, and the temptation to use performance-enhancing substances. The song ultimately ends on a hopeful note, as M.I.M.E reassures his partner that the time they spend together is special to him and that he cherishes their relationship.
