Parents are mad because their kids sing Yachty’s music in class, and most of his hits don’t have parent-friendly messages. However, he is leading the pack when it comes to teenage rappers and their influence on fellow teenagers.

Consequently, he doesn’t care what the parents think. He just wants to make his fans happy, keep kids positive, and be successful. Because of this, he goes on to compare his place in the pack to the location of doorbells, which are commonly at the front of houses.

Just as he did on “We Did It – Positivity Song” from the Lil Boat mixtape, Yachty is keeping his positive attitude to showcase that he produces music filled with positivity. In its simplest form, the hook is saying that no matter what happens, you just have to keep your head held high because life goes on.

What is “Positivity music?” And why would Yachty be making this verse to showcase that he makes that? Link it or somethin.

Ali boxed for a very long time – 1954 to 1981 to be exact – but living a glorious life like that can make time pass by quickly. Consequently, at the end of the day, he was happy that he was able to retire and pursue God.

Just as Ali lived his life openly religious and constantly in praise of his God, Chance is living his current life with the same demeanor. Neither have ever been afraid of putting their faith first and have used their respective platforms to show their appreciation for the man upstairs.

Now that Ali has passed, the self proclaimed prettiest and wisest boxer of all time is living out eternity in the greatest and brightest place one can possibly be.

Ain’t nowhere greater, brighter, better than heaven… Ain’t no one wiser, ain’t no one prettier, ain’t no one better than God… These lyrics imply that with all of Muhammed Ali’s success and the respect he gained in life, it is incomparable with what he has now, a place in heaven.

He wasn’t just self proclaimed, he was praised, preached, and defined by EVERYONE as the greatest, prettiest, and wisest boxer of all time. It wasn’t only his greatness in the ring, he lived as one of the greatest human being ever.

By ejaculating on his own face rather than in someone’s vagina, he has no chance to get anyone pregnant. This will help halt the ever growing concern of over-population; helping save the human race on a small scale.

When Lil Boat talks about hollow tips, he is referring to hollow-point bullets. This is a type of bullet in which the tips are hollow rather than rounded off. Due to this hollow tip, they cause more damage to the victim. So much so, that these type of bullets were declared illegal in warfare by the Hague Convention of 1899.

Playing off dubitable and taboo themes seen throughout the track — and the political theme of the track’s cover art — “Morning in America” refers to the campaign slogan of Ronald Reagan. Overall, this slogan was a promise for renewal in a struggling society.

Additionally, these lines could be referring to the tendency of many people to put up a mask or a facade of a perfect life when in reality they don’t have everything together. Morning in America refers to how the idea of “America” is seen as a place of freedom and happiness, but people within America are still unhappy and searching for satisfaction or something to fill their emptiness.

I could see this line as meaning two things: “None of this is unusual, it’s just another day in America” or “Good morning America, now wake the heck up and pay attention to these problems!”

It’s “morning”, which means that it’s time for everyone to “wake up” and acknowledge all of these issues within American society.

Could also be alluding to the daily American grind– that all of these “rare” (ex: class president overdosing) negative occurrences have become commonplace. Passively, stating that it’s just another day and everything is still the same, there has been no change or improvement.

Could also be a double entendre of “mourning,” or sadness in America.

PETA is an organization associated with fighting for animal rights. Here, Byou is stating that he wears expensive fur coats simply for the fashion sense; it doesn’t even have to be cold outside. Furthermore, he elaborates on the fact that he doesn’t care what the organization thinks by saying that he has no problem calling them and letting them know what he’s wearing.
