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

Back N Forth
YEEK Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Know you got someone
So why you actin’ like you don’t?
Cuz I,
I got somebody waiting for me back at home
Now I’m alone

Been trippin’ on me like I’m a shroom
Going back n forth, live from my room

Try to keep it G, but I took some Ls
Bounce back like a play
Don’t hit my cell
No you don’t have to get me
Don’t use my flaws against me
Just put yourself against me
No..
Not goin’ back n forth with you

Know you got someone
So why you actin’ like you don’t?
Cuz I,
I got somebody waiting for me back at home
Now I’m alone

Don’t act like I don’t try
Don’t act like I don’t try

Know you got someone
So why you actin’ like you don’t?
Cuz I,

I got somebody waiting for me back at home
Now I’m alone

Overall Meaning

In "Back N Forth" by YEEK, the lyrics depict a complicated romantic situation where both individuals involved have someone waiting for them at home, but they are still drawn to each other. The first verse sets the stage for this dilemma, questioning why the person is acting like they don't have someone already in their life when they actually do. The artist also acknowledges that they have somebody waiting for them back home, indicating that they are aware of their own commitment.

The second verse uses metaphors to describe the emotional turmoil caused by this situation. It mentions tripping on oneself like a hallucinogenic shroom, suggesting that the artist is getting lost in their own thoughts and emotions. The line "Going back n forth, live from my room" implies that this emotional struggle is taking place in the privacy of the artist's personal space. They are trying to maintain their integrity and be genuine (keeping it "G"), but they have experienced some losses and setbacks ("took some Ls"). However, they also emphasize their ability to bounce back, much like a play in a sports game.

The lyrics convey a desire for the other person to understand that they don't need to manipulate or use the artist's flaws against them. Instead, the artist suggests that the other person should simply compare themselves to the artist, highlighting their own positive qualities. The repeated phrase "Not goin' back n forth with you" signifies the artist's refusal to engage in this emotional back-and-forth anymore, possibly indicating a realization of how unhealthy or futile the situation is.

The chorus reinforces the theme of both individuals being committed to someone else, yet still feeling alone. The artist questions why the other person is pretending they don't have someone in their life, and they express their own feelings of loneliness despite having somebody waiting for them back at home. These lines emphasize the conflict and emotional turmoil caused by this forbidden attraction and the inability to fully fulfill their desires due to their existing commitments.
