Yak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got that favor so them blessings don't stop "Its automatic"
Pull up on the block you know they gone bop "Its automatic"
In or out the drop you know gone watch "Its automatic"
Lots of chokin lots of smokin can't hide the smell cause its loud a potent
In the ride we go 0 to 100 real quick before they eyes can open
Cough the potent make thoughts proking new stash spot so I can also the 4 in
Ain't studding these hoes steady ridin emotions rolling up getting high and coasting
Roll super size I'm super fly my whip glide like body lotion
She got a boyfriend got her scoping talking to her now she got an old friend
Always floating in grinding motion don't serve on Sunday's like I'm a postman
Told me naw done gave it all want slave for y'all I'm threw with that
Got my own money got my own lane tell me what do y'all want to do with that
Keep acting like I don't cancel people you don't know Yak think I'm new to that
Got fast balls like Nolan Ryan when I threw it at her she threw it back
Got no money like an electronic receipt nigga y'all paperless
Rap grave digger stay paid nigga no slave nigga I'm made for this
No begging brauds don't beg for chances don't beg at all they pay for this
Y'all suck nigga no luck nigga I'm up nigga we prayed for this!
When I wake man I got to thank God "Its automatic"
Got that favor so them blessings don't stop "Its automatic"
Pull up on the block you know they gone bop "Its automatic"
In or out the drop you know gone watch "Its automatic"
The lyrics in Yak's song "Automatic" portray a gritty and raw depiction of life on the streets. The hook, "When I wake man I got to thank God 'Its automatic', Got that favor so them blessings don't stop 'Its automatic'" speaks to the reality that the life they lead could be taken away in an instant, but they continue on because it's all they know. The lyrics mention smoking and selling drugs, constantly watching their backs for danger, and the constant grind to make money. When Yak says "Got no money like an electronic receipt nigga y'all paperless" it shows the desperation of their situation, living paycheck to paycheck with no safety net.
