In the song "Tru to U" by Yeat, the lyrics depict a flashy and confident lifestyle, highlighting material possessions and a carefree attitude. The opening lines express a dismissive attitude towards a woman who is not attractive or desirable enough for the singer's taste, using the reference to Pac-sun, a clothing store, to convey this sentiment. The lyrics also boast about having a significant amount of money, with pockets "the size of a building" and "drip" (fashionable and expensive clothing) on the singer himself.
The song continues to emphasize the singer's wealth and status, claiming to have luxurious vehicles like the SRT and Hellcat, without even needing to work for them. The singer exudes an air of nonchalance and confidence in their ability to effortlessly acquire wealth and possessions. The inclusion of the line "That's your old bitch, she say she love me" suggests that the singer has taken someone else's romantic partner and is relishing in this conquest. The singer also expresses a desire to change their name to "Private Jet," further emphasizing their desire for a high-flying and extravagant lifestyle.
The lyrics then delve into references to drugs and a reckless lifestyle. The singer talks about taking oxy and molly, acknowledging that it is bad for their health but unable to stop consuming these substances. This hints at a dependency on drugs and hedonistic behavior. The reference to eating "lunchmeat" due to financial struggles in the past serves as a stark contrast to the current lavish lifestyle the singer leads. The lyrics suggest that the singer has returned from a setback or downfall, metaphorically likening their return to a bungee jump.
Towards the end of the song, the singer continues to flaunt their wealth and fame, mentioning luxury vehicles like the Trackhawk (a variant of the Jeep), as well as expensive jeans. The lyrics convey a desire to impress others and prove doubters wrong. The repeated line "That's your old bitch, she say she love me" reinforces the singer's conquest over someone else's partner. The song concludes with a statement about the singer's self-confidence and resilience, indicating that they have been through challenges but nothing surprises them anymore. The mention of diamonds speaks to the singer's opulence and the desire for others to see and envy their success.
