The lyrics to "Factz" by Yeat convey a sense of defiance, self-confidence, and a rejection of societal norms. The opening lines suggest that the singer is being pursued by a woman who wants to have children with him, but he refuses her advances because he believes he hasn't gotten anything in life for free. He sees her express interest in him as an act of true love, as she is willing to drink his metaphorical "kids" for him, symbolizing her commitment to him.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's conviction that what he says is true and that others will eventually recognize it. He asserts his disregard for authority figures, expressing his belief that the law is against him and his companions. This rebellion reflects a sense of alienation and detachment from societal norms.
The second verse delves into the singer's struggles with drug addiction and dishonesty in his relationships. He admits to repeatedly relapsing into taking Percocet, implying that he hasn't been successful in quitting despite his intentions. He also confesses to lying to his partner numerous times while under the influence of drugs. The repetition of "thousand million times" highlights the frequency and magnitude of his mistakes.
The verse continues with a mix of arrogance and vulnerability. The singer boasts about his success in making hit songs effortlessly but also acknowledges the complicated nature of his life and the challenges that come with fame. He seems to be disillusioned by the glamorous lifestyle and expresses a desire to move away from drug use and dealing.
Overall, "Factz" reflects a complex and conflicted mindset. The lyrics convey a mix of bravado, self-awareness, and a longing for authenticity and substance in life.
