Free Yourself
YMTK Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lil mami you got a body that I gotta see
Want it, but I ain't wanna be a wannabe
Post him all in your pics when you follow me
That's your man, that's how it's gotta be but
I got lil bit space
In my schedule in my day or in my bed, nights
Speeding through the maze
Cheese for the chase in the rat race

Hit me when you free up though
Free up though, oh
When you free up though
Got a nigga and it's fine
But shit if you could find a way
(Shit if you could find a way)
When you free up though, from him
(Skeedit, slide away)

Hella loaded and the bases
I would catch it if you threw it my way
Girl, you could get it for the right now
You could it for the right now
Not a sucka but I'm waiting
And when I scroll down, you remind me
For the right now
You could get it on my life, on me

Lil mami you got an IG that I visit highly
Body on Beyoncé, girl, and you cute as Kylie
Friends fly to foreign cities for fun, like fuck it
A bossy bitch is how you bust it
Sorry for cussing
I got a visa, hit plane
Travel cities, exotic places with the warm nights
Got no reason to hear the hate, nope
Cheese for the chase in the rat race

Hit me when you free up though
Free up though, oh
When you free up though
Got a nigga and it's fine
But shit if you could find a way
(Shit if you could find a way)
When you free up though, from him
(Skeedit, slide away)

Hella loaded and the bases
I would catch it if you threw it my way
Girl, you could get it for the right now
You could it for the right now
Not a sucka but I'm waiting
And when I scroll down, you remind me
For the right now
You could get it on my life, on me

Picture me in your photos, riding, riding
Picture me in your photos, riding
Lemme slide in

Hella loaded and the bases
I would catch it if you threw it my way
Girl, you could get it for the right now
You could it for the right now
Not a sucka but I'm waiting
And when I scroll down, you remind me
For the right now
You could get it on my life, on me
Hella loaded and the bases
I would catch it if you threw it my way
Girl, you could get it for the right now
You could it for the right now
Not a sucka but I'm waiting
And when I scroll down, you remind me
For the right now
You could get it on my life, on me

Picture me in your photos, riding, riding

Just picture me in your photos, riding
Lemme slide in

Overall Meaning

In YMTK's song Free Yourself, he admires a girl's body and expresses his desire to be with her. However, he feels hesitant because he knows that she already has a man. YMTK acknowledges this and claims he does not want to be a wannabe. He will not force her to leave her man, but he is willing to wait for her to free herself from that relationship. In the meantime, YMTK is living his life to the fullest, traveling to exotic places and enjoying the finer things in life. He wants the girl to hit him up when she has the time, and in return, he promises to catch any opportunity she gives him. The song ends with YMTK pleading for the girl to imagine him with her in photos, and he suggests that she lets him slide into her life.

The lyrics of this song convey the complexity of a triangular relationship. The singer finds himself wanting someone he can't have while acknowledging her current relationship. He also recognizes the importance of waiting for someone to find themselves, a valuable lesson for listeners searching for their own happiness. Interestingly, he does not objectify the girl but instead praises her for her intelligence and independence, creating a respectful tone throughout the song.
