King Tonka Lyrics – Yeat

[Chorus]
(Phew)
(Who that?)
It king Tonka, it king Tonka (Err, err), it king T—
737, we get high and we crash (Phew)
Pull up, and we geek all night (All night)
Yeah, we could fly around, like the Bentley-truck-ing (Woo)
Yeah, we could fly around, I’m geeked on the kush (On the—)
You could tell me s*it, but you don’t tell me nothing
I’m a number one rich ass junkie (No way)
Boot up, when we boot up on the X like it’s X games (Woo, woo)
Boot up on the X, on the X game (No way)
I be high, I’m geekin out my head, I’m on a heliplane
And I don’t know nobody at all (Nobody)
We send him to Heaven, get ’em gone, I said (Send him)
I been out my head all along (Phew)
Uh, I don’t pay attention, I don’t need attention
I just do the fu*k, uh, what I want, when I want
Yeah, we move on, we get—, we get richer than ya
We all living on these drügs
Diamonds said, diamonds said, “We don’t give a fu*k”
Diamonds said, “Diamonds on you, never show up”

[Chorus]
(Phew)
(What you said?, who that?)
It king Tonka, it king Tonka (Err, err), it king T—
737, we get high and we crash (Phew)
Pull up, and we geek all night (All night)
Yeah, we could fly around, like the Bentley-truck-ing (Woo)
Yeah, we could fly around, I’m geeked on the kush (On the—)
You could tell me s*it, but you don’t tell me nothing
I’m a number one rich ass junkie (No way)
Boot up, when we boot up on the X like it’s X games (Woo, woo)
Boot up on the X, on the X game (No way)
I be high, I’m geekin out my head, I’m on a heliplane
And I don’t know nobody at all (Nobody)
We send him to Heaven, get ’em gone, I said (Send him)
I been out my head all along (Phew)
Uh, I don’t pay attention, I don’t need attention
I just do the fu*k, uh, what I want, when I want
Yeah, we move on, we get—, we get richer than ya
We all living on these drügs
Diamonds said, diamonds said, “We don’t give a fu*k”
Diamonds said, “Diamonds on you, never show up”

In the chorus of “King Tonka,” Yeat establishes himself as a larger-than-life figure, referring to himself as “king Tonka.” This title conveys a sense of authority and power within his social circle or perhaps within the context of his lifestyle. The repetition of “it king Tonka” emphasizes this identity and serves as a mantra, reinforcing his self-image. The phrase “737, we get high and we crash” introduces a metaphorical plane journey, symbolizing the highs and lows of their drug-induced experiences. While “get high” suggests euphoria and intoxication, “crash” alludes to the inevitable comedown or negative consequences of their actions.

The lyrics continue to depict a hedonistic lifestyle characterized by drug use and reckless behavior. “Pull up, and we geek all night” suggests a pattern of late-night partying fueled by substances. Comparisons to flying around in luxury vehicles like Bentley trucks while being high on mar!juana (“geeked on the kush”) reinforce the theme of extravagance and drug consumption. Yeat’s defiance is evident in the line “You could tell me sh*t, but you don’t tell me nothing,” indicating a disregard for criticism or outside judgment.

As the chorus progresses, Yeat describes himself as a “number one rich ass junkie,” highlighting both his wealth and his dependence on drügs. References to “booting up on the X like it’s X games” further illustrate the casual and recreational attitude towards drug use, likening it to a game. The mention of being “on a heliplane” adds to the surreal imagery, suggesting a state of disconnection from reality. Despite the apparent wealth and excess, Yeat expresses a sense of isolation, claiming not to know anybody at all.

The repetition of “diamonds said” underscores the theme of materialism and indifference to societal norms. Yeat suggests that flaunting wealth is more important than conforming to expectations, as indicated by the line “Diamonds on you, never show up.” Overall, the chorus portrays a lifestyle driven by drug-induced highs, wealth, and a disregard for consequences, with Yeat positioning himself as a larger-than-life figure within this world.
