Drinking jack while I'm feeling the vibe
Drinking jack, holding pills

Hey, somebody come let me out
Call me g**? Can't talk
Homie ya, can't walk
Marijuana, f**k y'all
Hey somebody come let me out
Ain't it beef? Meat racks
Kill em all, big macs
Shady b***h, quick raps
Tell your mama don't worry about ya

Drinking jack while I'm feeling the vibe x 2

The lyrics to Yelawolf's song Let Me Out detail the frustration and desire of the artist to leave a place or situation. Throughout the song, Yelawolf sings "somebody come let me out" repeatedly, seemingly asking for someone to free him from his surroundings. The lyrics also reference drinking and drugs, with lines such as "Drinking jack while I'm feeling the vibe" and "holding pills." The artist seems to feel trapped and unable to leave, with lines like "can't drive, hold the wheel" and "homie ya, can't walk."
The chorus contains the phrase "brick wall," which is repeated throughout the song. This phrase could have a symbolic meaning, representing the barrier that is preventing Yelawolf from leaving or escaping. The line "M**********are I walk with a crowd" could symbolize how he feels like he's just one of many people stuck in the same place or situation.
Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on feelings of confinement, frustration, and the desire to escape. The lyrics are delivered in Yelawolf's signature, high-energy rap style, making for a powerful and energizing track.
