Ginseng Strip 2002
Yung Lean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

2003
Arizona iced out boys
Yung Leandoer, shawty
Emotional boys, 2001
Emotional shawties in this bitch
Makaveli

Bitches come and go, bruh
But you know I stay
Bitches come and go, bruh
But you know I stay
Got my balls licked
By a Zooey Deschanel look-alike cocaine addict
Razor blade to your head
Conflict, I'm a contradicted shit
Peeing on old people's houses is an inflict
2003 shit
This ain't no splitting bills shit
I'ma peel banana skids
While listening to R Kelly's greatest hits

Yung Lean in the club
For some morphine (morphine)
Yung Lean up in the club
For some morphine (morphine)

Popping pills like zits
While someone vomits on your mosquito tits
Slitting wrists while dark evil spirits like Slytherin
Slither in with tricks, I'm sick
Acid trip makes my spitting sick
And makes me start hitting chicks
Knitting thick, shitting quick, fitting dick
Like transmitting shit with an AIDS stick
You're gay as fuck like a fish stick
Tequila shots and salt licks
Getting balls in your face like a free kick
Yung Lean stays motherfuckin' freaky, bitch

Yung Lean in the club
For some morphine (morphine)
Yung Lean up in the club
For some morphine (morphine)

Rotten teeth like Gargamel
Cast a spell, you keep on tryin' to yell
But your dead body stinks worse than my S'well
Well, Lean expels diagrams as if they were made in Excel
Fuck fat hoes like Adele
Get my dick stuck inside a lamp shell
Get it out with sperm cells and hair gel
Swim in Mexico, mademoiselle
Point and laugh while he fell
Who's laughing now, now that I'm explosive like Alfred Nobel
Yung Lean only attracts an older clientele
Very well, bitch

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Yung Lean's song "Ginseng Strip 2002" are full of contradictory and nonsensical imagery, creating a disjointed but emotive narrative. The song starts with Yung Lean declaring himself as an emotional person, surrounded by a group of similarly emotional friends. He then describes how people come and go in his life, but he remains constant. The verse then takes a surreal turn as Yung Lean describes getting his balls licked by a cocaine addict who looks like Zooey Deschanel, before veering back into the contrast between conflict and contradiction.


The chorus then kicks in with Yung Lean seeking solace in drugs, specifically morphine. He imagines a party scene where people are popping pills and vomiting on each other, with references to self-harm and dark spirits. The verse that follows is full of wordplay and absurdity, with references to rotten teeth, spells, Excel diagrams, and Adele. The song ends with Yung Lean seemingly triumphant, declaring that he only attracts an older clientele, but doing so with a hint of sadness.


The lyrics to "Ginseng Strip 2002" are open to interpretation, and Yung Lean himself has been coy about their meaning. They are full of contradictions and non-sequiturs, but together they paint a portrait of a young man in emotional turmoil, trying to find solace in drugs and surreal imagery. The song was a breakout hit for Yung Lean, and has become an anthem for the sadboy movement that he helped popularize.

Lyric for vietnamese people :
2003
Arizona Iced-Out Boys
Yung Leandoer, khăn choàng
Những chàng trai tình cảm, 2001
Khăn choàng cảm xúc trong biatch này
Makaveli
Những con chó cái đến và đi (Brah)
Nhưng bạn biết tôi ở lại
Những con chó cái đến và đi (Brah)
Nhưng bạn biết tôi ở lại
Có quả bóng của tôi được liếm bởi Zooey Deschanel trông giống như người nghiện cocaine
Lưỡi dao cạo vào đầu bạn
Xung đột, tôi là một kẻ khốn nạn đầy mâu thuẫn
Peein 'vào nhà của người già là một sự xâm phạm
2003 shit, đây không phải là không có hóa đơn phân chia shit
Tôi sẽ lột vỏ chuối trượt tuyết trong khi nghe 'Bản nhạc tuyệt vời nhất của R Kelly
Yung Lean, trong câu lạc bộ
Đối với một số morphin (Morphine)
Yung Lean, tham gia câu lạc bộ
Đối với một số morphin (Morphine)
Thuốc poppin 'như zits trong khi ai đó nôn mửa trên vú muỗi của bạn
Slittin 'cổ tay trong khi những linh hồn ma quỷ đen tối như Slytherin
Slitherin 'với những mánh khóe, một số chuyến đi axit bệnh hoạn làm cho nước bọt của tôi bị bệnh
Và làm cho tôi bắt đầu tấn công gà con
Knittin 'dày, shittin' nhanh chóng, phù hợp với tinh ranh
Giống như truyền tin với một cây gậy AIDS
Hãy nghĩ rằng bạn là người đồng tính như một con cá giống như một con cá
Bắn rượu tequila và liếm muối
Nhận bóng vào mặt bạn như một quả đá phạt
Yung Lean ở lại mẹ quái vật (Biatch)
Yung Lean, trong câu lạc bộ
Đối với một số morphin (Morphine)
Yung Lean, tham gia câu lạc bộ
Đối với một số morphin (Morphine)
Răng thối như Gargamel, tôi làm phép, bạn cứ cố gắng hét lên
Cá rằng xác chết của bạn còn hôi hơn cả vết sưng của tôi
Vâng, Lean loại bỏ các sơ đồ như thể chúng được tạo trong Excel
Quái béo cuốc như Adele
Cho con cặc của tôi mắc kẹt bên trong vỏ đèn
Lấy nó ra bằng tế bào tinh trùng và gel vuốt tóc
Bơi ở Mexico, thưa cô
Chỉ và cười khi anh ấy ngã
Ai đang buồn cười bây giờ? Bây giờ tôi bùng nổ như Alfred Nobel
Yung Lean chỉ thu hút nhóm khách hàng lớn tuổi
Rất tốt (Biatch!)
