The song "Out Do Ya" by Gucci Mane conveys a message of success, dominance, and the pursuit of wealth. Gucci Mane starts by stating that if he is not a millionaire, he wants his son to surpass him in wealth. He also implies that if Guwop (a nickname for himself) is not focused on his business endeavors, then even a cartoon character like Popeye would be considered more powerful. Gucci Mane emphasizes his desire for financial prosperity and states that he doesn't want to engage in conversations with individuals who are not making money. He expresses his frustration with those who allow someone who was previously incarcerated (nigga in the feds) to outshine them financially. This could be interpreted as a comment on his own rise to success after being in prison. He further asserts that he is not interested in politics because he is not a politician. Gucci Mane distances himself from potential associates who may be informants, indicating that he cannot trust them. He criticizes women who engage in relationships with untrustworthy men. The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, questioning how one could allow someone who was in jail to surpass them in terms of wealth and success. Gucci Mane also mocks rappers who claim to be rich but have actually not made significant money through illegal activities. He suggests that these rappers avoid any confrontations or conflicts because they are not involved in the streets. Gucci Mane presents himself as self-sufficient and independent, claiming that he does not rely on others for support. He states that he is the shooter (someone who handles business) and the boss (in charge), asserting his dominance and autonomy. He boasts about his financial success, showcasing his Bentley car and expensive jewelry. Gucci Mane compares himself to a charismatic preacher, highlighting his flashy diamond rings. The song concludes with Gucci Mane asserting his power and ability to overcome obstacles, specifically mentioning his release from prison. He questions how others could allow him to surpass them financially, implying that he overcame great challenges to achieve his current success.
