Lil Yachty, Lets Get On Dey Ass | Song Review 🎵

The ever-idiosyncratic rapper, Lil Yachty, drops a vibe with a colorful and intriguing single, “Lets Get On Dey Ass.” 

“What? / I’m tryna break me a back / Yeah, I’m tryna break me a spine / I’m tryna pour me a eight / Yeah, I’m tryna pour me a dime.” Um, sure Lil Yachty (Miles Parks McCollum), whatever you say. After ‘tryna’ do all of that in the chorus of “Lets Get On Dey Ass”, he asserts, “We finna get on dey ass.” It’s not grammatically sound but Lil Boat makes his point… I think.  “Lets Get On Dey Ass” was written by the rapper and Cardo (Ronald LaTour). Cardo and Kyro produced it.

Lil Yachty keeps things brief as the single clocks in under three minutes in duration.  The instrumental accompaniment comprises menacing synths, a banging beat, and a dark backdrop. A vibe is established early on, as is Lil Yachty’s unique, eccentric, idiosyncratic flow.  The form is abbreviated compared to more traditional songs – there is only one verse. During that verse, Yachty talks a lotta shit – there’s no other way to put it. “He pissy, can’t get none to me / He pussy, his bitch wanna do me,” he spits. Other memorable lines include “Fuckin’ ‘em up, skrrt on they ass / I run up the millions and spend it on glass,” “Shootin’ that bitch like a free throw,” and “They bills ain’t more than my car note / These bitches is buyable, barcode  / Huh, run it on auto, yup / the money the motto.” Is “Lets Get On Dey Ass” deep? Nope, but it’s intriguing.
