The song "Outside" by Young Thug begins with him pulling up in Tonkas and referencing how he has learned to finesse, indicating that he has gained a skill or knowledge that helps him succeed in life. He mentions having a big body and a big Tonk, which could be interpreted as referring to his car or his status, and cranking up the turnt music. Young Thug brags about being "right in [his] zone" after taking half a Perky, which is a reference to the painkiller Percocet. He then claims to be shopping on the way back home while putting on for the west coast by busting a nut on a woman's chest, indicating that he is representing his region in his unique way. He also warns others to watch their tone when speaking to him since he is a YSL and he feels like cologne.
In the chorus, Young Thug states that he is just outside and that he turns up with flawless diamonds on him, implying that he is living the high life. He also mentions calling up his "twizzies" or his close friends and pulling up on someone's wife. He claims that others cannot be "twizzy rich" because they do not know him and that he cannot trust anyone, but that is just how he likes to live.
In the second verse, Young Thug boasts about being rich and caring for his dog, riding in a Bentley, and wearing Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. He also mentions how he just checked his wrist and it is still covered in "frosted flakes," indicating that his watch is heavily encrusted in diamonds. He brags about not flaking on his women and tells his haters that if they do diss songs, they will get big blazed. He claims he makes millions through six different ways and that he can have sexual relations with someone while wearing a mask.
