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

State of Mind
YEEK Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where everybody think they famous
where everybody think they cool
but baby I think that fame is
something made for fools

That's why I'm going back,
yes I'm going back
to Florida

Where it's miserable
but it's sunny
like California

(Going back to that state of mind)
Man, I think I'm famous
Man, I think I'm cool
but baby I think that fame was
made for me the fool
but I'm the fool

That's why I'm going back,
yes I'm going back
to Florida
Where it's miserable
but it's sunny
just like California

Oh I'm going back
I'm going back, I'm going back
Oh I'm going back, I'm going back
I'm going back, I'm going back
I'm not going back, I'm not

That's why I'm going back,
yes I'm going back
to Florida
Where it's miserable
but it's sunny
just like California

That's why I'm going back,
yes I'm going back
to Florida
Where it's miserable

but it's sunny
just like California

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of YEEK's song "State Of Mind" reflects on the idea of fame and what it means to different people. It highlights how many individuals aspire to become famous and believe that it is the key to being cool or validated. However, the artist disagrees with this notion and suggests that fame is only for fools. YEEK intends to return to his home, Florida, despite it being an unpleasant place, but he prefers the sunshine, which reminds him of California.

The chorus repeatedly emphasizes his desire to return to his state of mind, which could be interpreted as a mental state where he is grounded and unaffected by fame or the superficialities of society. The artist acknowledges that he once thought fame was for him, but he now sees that it is not what he wants. The lyrics also suggest a contrast between two states, California and Florida, which have different reputations. Still, for YEEK, what makes them similar is the Sunshine, symbolizing happiness and comfort.

Overall, "State Of Mind" is a reflective and thoughtful song that offers an alternative perspective on fame and what it means to find happiness. The song encourages listeners to consider their values and beliefs about fame and to aspire to be authentic in their pursuit of success.
