Between mixtapes, producing, contemporary art pieces and flight hopping from state to state Yeek has finally been able to drop his first solo music video which he directed and edited himself.

I would probably describe my style as 'imaginative'. My main influences come from cartoon style illustrations, funk music, & the 90s hip-hop culture & 90s hardcore American punk culture. I would have to say the major difference between LA & Florida is that the people are meaner in Florida & that helped me grow as person. I was born in Jersey City, raised in Florida." - YEEK

Away
YEEK Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got some tattoos this year
My mama don't like it
She said I drink too much beer
"Take your probiotics"
I met a chick last year
I think she's psychotic
She got me way too in my feels lately
Now I'm off it

I want to smoke
Smoke & feel no pain
I want to drink...
Thoughts of you away

Kombucha
Third Eye Chai
Grass-fed meat
With a little brown rice
If a bad stomach's a reflection of depression
I need my girl to feed me right
Not feed my sadness or starve my life

I want to smoke
Smoke & feel no pain

I want to drink...
Thoughts of you away
