But I really been doin' this shit for a minute now, yeah

In Yeat's song Off Tha Lot, he talks about his experiences with wealth, drugs, and women. The song begins with Yeat's announcing his presence, mentioning he is outside with a whole lot of cash, in LA where the sun doesn't stop. He talks about sipping on "le-" - which may be a reference to "lean" or "codeine," a popular drink amongst the hip-hop community. Yeat's talks about owning a coupe and how he swerved it right off the lot. He also mentions taking a girl shopping at Saks, which is a high-end fashion retailer. Yeat's alludes to his wealth yet again as he mentions all of his diamonds shining, but he struggles to choose between a "boot up" or a "perc" - boot up is a type of drug while Perc is short for Percocet, which is a prescription painkiller. He mentions having a difficult time cleaning up his life, which is a nod to his struggles with substance abuse.
In the second verse, Yeat's talks about putting money on someone's head, indicating he may have a hit out on someone. He goes on to describe his sexual escapades, stating he only gets high and does not have a plan. Yeats takes a private jet, living life in luxury, and sharing his experience of needing some oral sexual gratification as soon as he lands. He raps about how he feels like he is continually in a dream when he is high, and he cannot tell what's real or not. He mentions his girlfriend is addicted to drugs, and he struggles with addiction as well.
The final verse of the song talks about Yeat's authenticity. He mentions many rappers copy his style and act like parrots. He does not care about what anybody thinks, and he has been doing this for a minute. However, he is open about his struggles with addiction, and he is beefing with his kidney. Yeat's mentions his use of Percocet, indicating that it may affect his kidney, yet he continues to use them because they make him feel good.
