In the verses of Yeat's song "Bird," the lyrics contain themes of defiance, self-assurance, and a rebellious attitude towards societal norms. The opening lines reference a bird in the sky, hinting at a sense of freedom and flight, with the idea of going insane suggesting a disregard for conventional behavior. Yeat contrasts the simplicity of a plain Jane accessory on his wrist with the metaphorical imagery of a lake, perhaps symbolizing depth and complexity beneath a surface appearance.
The mention of cutting the grass for the fakes and dealing with snakes alludes to navigating through challenges and deceitful people in his environment. The reference to putting an X pill in his Gatorade and embracing being high symbolizes escapism and altering perceptions of reality. It reflects a hedonistic approach to seeking pleasure and living in the moment, despite the potential dangers.
Yeat expresses a sense of superiority and disconnect from others who don't understand his lifestyle or choices. The lines about pouring up Tec and stirring up syrup allude to indulging in substances for a desired effect, highlighting a carefree and rebellious attitude. The mention of designers like Prada in relation to his drip and bag signifies a focus on materialism and status as a form of self-expression and validation.
The chorus of "run it up" emphasizes a focus on success and achieving one's goals regardless of societal judgment or expectations. The repeated assertion of not giving any fucks reinforces a defiant and independent mindset, indicating a refusal to conform or seek approval. The lyrical content exudes a sense of confidence and resilience, with references to monetary success and a willingness to challenge traditional notions of value and worth.
Overall, the lyrics of "Bird" by Yeat encapsulate themes of freedom, rebellion, materialism, and self-assurance. The song's energetic and bold delivery reflects a sentiment of defiance and individualism in the face of societal pressures and expectations.

One criticism of Yeat's rap style is the lack of lyrical depth and substance in his verses. Many of his songs are characterized by repetitive and simplistic lyrics, often focusing on themes like materialism, drugs, and relationships. Detractors argue that this lack of lyrical complexity diminishes the artistic and intellectual value of his work compared to other more lyrically intricate rappers.
Another point of contention is the perceived overreliance on auto-tune and vocal effects in Yeat's music. Critics argue that this reliance on technology can overshadow his raw vocal talent and make the music sound formulaic. Some listeners prefer artists who showcase their natural vocal abilities without heavy post-production enhancements.
Furthermore, there are claims that Yeat's flow can be monotonous and lacks the versatility seen in other successful rappers. The argument here is that a great rapper should be able to adapt their delivery to different beats and styles, showcasing a range that keeps listeners engaged and interested.
Critics may also point to the relatively short duration of Yeat's career and the limited number of projects released. Some argue that this lack of an extensive discography hinders the ability to assess his growth and consistency as an artist over time.
In conclusion, those who consider Yeat a bad rapper often focus on factors such as the perceived lack of lyrical depth, overreliance on auto-tune, monotony in flow, and a relatively short career. However, it's crucial to remember that musical preferences are highly subjective, and what one person views as a flaw, another might see as a unique artistic choice.

You probably don't want to be a Yeat fan, but you know you should be. You'll talk about it as if you got this scar on your back because you didn't read the "Twizzy Bible" in school. You'll say things like "I'm sure I had a copy of the Bïg Tönka translation somewhere," and you'll use it as a conversation piece at parties, casually slipping it into normal conversation, because you're so extremely cool and turnt. You'll pretend to read the "Lyfë Rendition" in public on the L, so everyone can admire your literacy. You will try to read Lying4Fun on the beach and when people ask what you're doing, you'll shrug and look studiöus.
