Jidenna "The Let Out" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

Jidenna’s latest single, “The Let Out,” off of his debut album The Chief, isn’t just another song about people leaving a function. While there are two separate versions-the radio single features both Nana Kwabana and Migos' Quavo-the double entendre behind the track’s title and message is a little deeper than most people think.

[@shaheedahevans2871]

Natural looking black man.

[@charmedlilsis1]

I'm glad he explained the song. I like it but didn't really know what a "let out" was. Just from using contextual clues, I sorta figured it out though. Sidenote: Guys who want kids are ugh. When he said that, I went from :) to :(

[@jarret340]

Why Jidenna look like Do Boy's after picture

[@MrHarris-zx7mz]

Jidenna, was the version of "The Let Out" with Quavo not what you were looking for the first time around. In my opinion that version is the best

[@joslnr2021]

Do bambi

[@ZRock7771]

he reminds me of Jon Jones

[@caitlinveal5709]

[@tytygoat7725]

when x gets out of jail you should do a "look at me" by xxxtentacion lyric meaning

[@zoar1033]

Jam was better with Quavo on it

[@zaynaba1854]

zoar1033 I agree so so much

[@levingston21]

I agree

[@delraycoles6145]

I fuck with Jidenna but don't talk shit about Roger. Roger would fuck Connery up with ease.

[@MixedRogueKhorri]

you wish mate...connery will murda moore......sean is mental mate

[@MixedRogueKhorri]

roger ? lol really he was a mess and just uncomfy he gave me the creeps . sean was the highest rated james until the last decade...He was tall and dark and manly and roguish and a master spy....I have friends who didn't even know roger moore played a bond ......and we are all english so its even funnier. but to each his own mate.

[@delraycoles6145]

MixedRogueBronaghSinead I prefer Roger but I'm not mad if someone preferred Connery. I'll take Sean over Pierce any day.

[@MixedRogueKhorri]

My father thought is was something too...which made me feel funny considering my mother is not white...but I get why people are attached to a white james bond, but james bond in the original novels was never white ...they never said his ethnicity only his height and hair colour and NATIONALITY lol. but I would love a mixed raced james bond or whatever......all I want is a tall , good looking ENGLISH james bond.

[@MixedRogueKhorri]

lol ok

[@lewisvincent3070]

Serious question, can somebody explain the reasoning behind this guys conk? Malcom X would've instantly hated this guy

[@WiiRFAM]

That's his natural hair tho.

[@lewisvincent3070]

It's not a question as to whether or not its his natural hair, its the way its styled. As far as I'm aware, its not a look somebody should be proud of.

[@MrGrimlocke]

It looks cool.

[@lewisvincent3070]

Theres history attached to it though

[@MrGrimlocke]

But he doesn't have it in order to appeal to white people and fit in with them. He has it because that's his own personal style and he likes the look

[@MrSMFC1877]

🌽

[@TheChristian50]

uncle tom

[@1bashidoblade]

UGH THIS GUY IS SO OBNOXIOUS

[@welliguess3476]

uhmyeah Glavier how so?

[@AyyoShesSmall]

Alexander Morrison southern black ppl don't hate on the north. We just have cultural differences. I wouldn't call it "hating".
And I still don't get how Jidenna came off obnoxious here tho.

[@herculesbeats8499]

Boring do Wyclef Jean by Young thug

[@staj]

reppin 9ja!

[@staj]

The Bond makers were off their game for way too long, nothing to do with the Actors. Sean is a Legend but Pierce Brosnan is THE true depiction of Bond!

[@jai__2937]

This dude stays dressed up

[@Koojoe89]

Jâî Bîsh指有 gotta stay looking respectable

[@Josh-go5lu]

Jai __ he don't want his best dressed day in a casket

[@Kpower]

Jidenna is the type of guy you can click with over one conversation. He's so chilled.

[@cute123217]

[@justicejackson4887]

[@destin3942]

+George B i mean I saw him perform long live the chief. on Luke Cage and started listening to him last year. Thats probably what he meant

[@yar7527]

Lmao I rlly thought he said 'even fat fool was smoking on a vegetable'. 🤦😂

[@zo_oe3223]

Jidenna is real af.. Love learning new shit from his roots etc.

[@winifredogilvie4179]

Lets try getting of the "N" word. What is wrong with the word "Brother", "Dude", "Homie " ?
