Yelawolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Should kick your ass out the house
Call me a piece of shit? You're a piece of shit
Aw, come on
the fuck?
What the
the fuck is?
What the fuck? Aw fuck, hey!
Let me out!
this is not fuckin' funny!
Hey! Oh, oh fuck!
Oh shit, no!
Uh, uh, uh
one, two, uh
I am that motherfucker, Lord give me that deuce deuce
I'm out the roof like a chimney sweep, I'm on Jack and cola
Oh, snap that boy's about to go go pow pow, hold up
Dead at midnight, out like a convict
Trick I'm losing my shit, watch this
Throw a bottle, Fuck the world
I need fight tunes and mushrooms, I'm tripping
(Chicka Chicka) Who's bad?
Baby it's my turn
I want all of it, hey, let's go
Look at 'em hating on a trailer park pimp
Who? Me
It's a problem ain't it, man
You're fucking white, you better get used to it
Catfish Billy man
Check the 5-0, in the rear-view
Scheming on the Chevy 'cause the Chevy's a clear view
Tires wet, pulling me over with tattoos
I'm a pistol holder, an American fuck up
money like a crook and I'm spending G's like I'm buying a soda
Check me out, CEO
Got pull like a monster truck so what's up
I earn my (shit), respect is a must
You fuck around with me (shit)
In the slug I trust
I got the Mossberg (shit)
Don't make me load that pump
James Brown motherfucker (shit)
I took her, I took her to the breakdown like this
uh, uh, uh
Off the top, let's go!
Give me everything, take it all away
Lock me up and then throw away the key
Kick me down and then talk about my state
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
Give me everything, take it all away
Lock me up and then throw away the key
Kick me down and then talk about my state
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
Give me everything, take it all away
Lock me up and then throw away the key
Kick me down and then talk about my state
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
Give me everything, take it all away
Lock me up and then throw away the key
Kick me down and then talk about my state
I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space
I'm not out of place
The lyrics in Yelawolf's song Outer Space express a sense of alienation and frustration with societal norms and expectations. The opening lines are confrontational, with Yelawolf telling his antagonist to kick their own ass out of the house instead of kicking him out. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which features lines like "Give me everything, take it all away / Lock me up and then throw away the key / Kick me down and then talk about my state," that suggest a feeling of being trapped and misunderstood by society.
The chorus, "I'm not out of place, I'm from outer space," reinforces this sense of being an outsider. Yelawolf sees himself as different from those around him, and instead of trying to fit in, he embraces his uniqueness. He even compares himself to an alien, perhaps suggesting that he feels like he doesn't quite belong on this planet.
Throughout the verses, Yelawolf raps about his love of drugs and violence, as well as his experiences being pulled over by the police. These more specific themes reinforce the idea of feeling like an outsider or a criminal, someone who doesn't fit neatly into society's expectations.
Overall, Yelawolf's lyrics in Outer Space paint a picture of a person who rejects society's norms and expectations, and instead embraces their own unique identity, even if it means being an outsider.

You've pushed me to the ground and then criticizing me

I don't belong here, I'm from a different world
