She said she feel it now, I don't even feel at all
Bitch, I be high on these drugs every day of my life
I don't know at all if I should quit or not
How the fuck could I choose if this is bad for me?
When everything goin' out sad on my life
And I just got off the phone with my jeweler
That brand new Cuban link comin' in with diamonds
Yeah, and they just told me, if I bought the Tesla
I'm helpin' the climate so I'm finna pop a hunnid
I'm on the Perc' so I call up my bae like, "What's up with ya?"
She said, "Can I pull up and lay up with ya?" (Yeah)
She said, "I wanna watch a movie if you get the picture" (ha)
She said she need a big ol' booty, called up Bob the Builder (ha)
Black and white diamonds, I'm colorblind
They told me that I murder every beat like Columbine
Sorry 'bout that

All my diamonds flawless and big, look at the size
All your shit is fake, that shit ain't sized (yeah)
I'm sorry for you, kid, that's just your life (ha)

She wanna lick my privates, all night (let's go)
Just tell me, you gotta tell me the truth 'bout it, all it, yeah
I had to go cut ties with them so I can go ballin'
I had the Issey Miyake jeans with the Arcteryx jacket
Yeah, and my lil' thot say that she addicted to me like some cracky
Yeah, she pull up, I'm breakin' her backy
These kids, they goofy, they wacky

Overall Meaning

The song "Sorry Bout That" by Yeat is a tumultuous expression of the artist's life experiences. The lyrics delve into a range of subjects, from drug addiction to materialism, from relationships to identity crisis. The opening lines of the song suggest that the artist is curious about the origin of the beat and expresses his admiration to the creator (Trgc). Yeat then describes the sexual encounter with a woman in a graphic and vulgar manner, using Japanese food reference (Beni-bachi) as a metaphor. However, in the refrain, he seems to be apologetic, insisting that he is sorry for his behavior.

Through the middle section, Yeat talks about his drug use in a negative way, but he is uncertain whether to quit or not. He sees that his life is going out of control, but he is unable to stop. He talks about buying an expensive piece of jewelry (a Cuban link with diamonds), and a Tesla electric car which he believes will help the environment. However, he then admits he is also on prescription painkillers (Percocet), and he is about to engage in casual sex with a female friend (his "bae"). In the final verse, Yeat reflects on his wealth and success, making it clear that he has made "a whole mil off the rappin'" and that he used to sell drugs (vacuum seals of marijuana). Yeat indicates that he is color-blind, wearing both black and white diamonds in his jewelry. The song ends on a note of hesitation with Yeat repeating his apology for his conduct.
