Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I brung my racks out
Yes, I went to sleep and then
I brung my racks out
I was sleepwalking around my house
Pulling it all out
Let me tell you how my night went
First thing I did was take some
X to make it vibrant
Second thing I did was pour a
Three of Wock' to slide in
And the last thing I did was
Take a fifth to the head, we flying
Now you know the recipe, a
Bean help you get high, man
Now, I always wanted to fly
Sometimes I want to be gliding
I already know you want to die, if he slide
That boy dropping
They asked me what car I'm driving
I said the Cayenne
I'm sliding, before I slid to Miami
The high-end dealership
Copped it, the brand new, I'm sliding in it
The Z06, yeah
I ain't go to sleep in so many damn days
I think I'm sleepwalking
I been in the stu' for so many days
I think I'm sleeptalking
Ask me if I wanna do some
Shit, said "Nah, hell, nah
Don't need talking"
Bitch, was sucking the dick so long
She woke up with a knee problem

Told him all my diamonds need V on it
Stand on my money, 6'11" like I'm Giannis
Call my dresser a toilet 'cause it

Second thing I did was pour a

In the song "Sleeptalking," Yeat Billz describes a night where he engages in reckless behavior while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. The opening lyrics suggest that he went to sleep with a large sum of money ("racks") and when he woke up, he began sleepwalking around his house, unknowingly pulling out more money. This could symbolize his carefree attitude towards his wealth and his tendency to indulge in impulsive actions.
Yeat Billz goes on to recount the events of his night. He first took some ecstasy (referred to as "X") to enhance his experience and make it more vibrant. Then, he drank a significant amount of codeine syrup, also known as "Wock," to feel euphoric and relaxed. Finally, he consumed a fifth of alcohol, likely liquor, which intensified his high. This sequence of actions represents his desire to escape reality and enter a state of blissful intoxication.
Next, Yeat Billz reflects on his aspirations to be free and pursue a carefree lifestyle. He mentions wanting to fly and glide, metaphorically representing his desire for freedom and a worry-free existence. However, he acknowledges the dark reality that some people may wish harm upon him if he becomes successful or involved in certain activities ("I already know you want to die if he slide, that boy dropping"). This line implies the presence of jealousy or potential danger in his life.
Yeat Billz then switches focus to material possessions and his lifestyle. He mentions driving a Cayenne, a luxury SUV, and sliding (likely referring to moving smoothly or confidently) before he visits Miami to buy a high-end car. The mention of the Z06, a high-performance Chevrolet Corvette model, suggests his affinity for fast cars. Furthermore, he expresses his dedication to his craft, spending long hours in the studio without much sleep ("I been in the stu' for so many days, I think I'm sleeptalking").
The lyrics take a vulgar turn in the following lines, mentioning explicit sexual encounters and the effects of prolonged drug use. Yeat Billz references a sexual act lasting so long that the person performing it develops a knee problem the next day. He also indicates that he has been sober for an extended period of time, feeling the need to contact Eliantte, a popular jeweler, to enhance the appearance of his diamonds. The reference to standing on money suggests his wealth and success, comparing himself to the height of NBA player Giannis Antetokounmpo.
In summary, "Sleeptalking" by Yeat Billz describes a night of reckless behavior fueled by drugs and alcohol. The lyrics provide insight into his desire for freedom and his materialistic lifestyle, along with references to explicit encounters and the consequences of prolonged drug use.
