Don't Go
[YUNG LEAN] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sun on my neck
I'll ride for my set
No remorse, no respect
Press play as I wreck
I got sun on my neck
I'll ride for my set
Everything high tech
I got sun on my neck
I'll ride for my set
No remorse, no respect
Dope in my air force
I got sun on my neck
Press play as I press wreck
A big 's' on my chain
Everything high tech
Put it down for Princess Peach
But you could never hear me preach
I'm in the mountains in the trees
I'm smoking silver - eyes Chinese
I'll blow and puff, and I'll pass around
I'll make the catch, don't make a sound
Fuck what you heard the city's mine
The city's mine, I'll put it down
I'll put it down for everyone around me
You could try and look for me
But you could never find me
Get behind me
I'm hearing police sirens
I'm smoking burnt tires
I got spirit flowers wasting money every hour
You don't like me, you a liar
I'm a-I'm a sacrificer
Get my palace like I'm Malice
Floating floating floating empire
All I do is get higher, never tired
You can't touch me, cause I'm made of wire
Pick my phone up call the supplier
I spit fire, ice-ice red vampire
Icy diamond sapphire
Bitch I am an empire
Flying through the dessert
Move I like my dress shirts
Face filled with dirt
Curren-currency convert
(fade out)
In YUNG LEAN's song "Don't Go," he starts by describing the sensation of having the sun on his neck, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling pressure or being exposed to outside forces. He asserts his loyalty to his "set," a common term in hip hop for one's group or gang. YUNG LEAN makes it clear that he will show no remorse and give no respect to those who cross him. He puts on some music and starts to "wreck" his own lyrics, indicating his skill as a rapper.
The chorus repeats the opening lines, solidifying the idea that YUNG LEAN feels a sense of responsibility for his group, symbolized by the big "s" on his chain. He also boasts about his material possessions, particularly the high-tech gadgets and gear that he presumably obtained through his success in music. The lyrics also make a reference to the drug trade, with YUNG LEAN mentioning having "dope" in his "air force."
In the next verse, YUNG LEAN name-drops Princess Peach, a character from the Super Mario Bros. series. He says he doesn't preach but enjoys spending time in nature, smoking a drug called "silver" and feeling relaxed. He passes it among his friends and prefers to keep his party low-key. YUNG LEAN declares that he owns the city, and he puts it down for everyone who supports him. He acknowledges the danger of police sirens but seems unbothered, since he's focused on enjoying his lifestyle. He describes himself as "made of wire," perhaps a reference to being unbreakable or tough. The lyrics culminate in YUNG LEAN flying through the desert, dressed well and constantly converting his currency.

[Intro]
Mmh mmh mmh
Oh, Hicks made this shit
Mmh mmh mmh, mmh
Uh uh
[Chorus]
I know that we hurting each other I get it but I still don't want you to leave
And I'm tryna be perfect for you but it seem like that's pushing you farther from me
And the fact that you walking away like it's nothing is making it hard to believe
Messages hard to receive it's making it harder to breathe
I don't even know how to grieve
Cause I still don't want you to go bae, no
But I know that it's killing you to stay, oh oh
[Verse]
Don't want you to go but I won't beg for you stay
Wanna say what's on my mind but then my heart get in the way
And if I had a chance I don't think I'd take it back
Cause the days I spent with you might bе the best I've еver had
Uh, I just really want your love
I don't wanna give you up
I know that I said I was tired of these heartbreak songs but DJ turn this up
No one really moves on they just learn to accept it
Then look for someone to make them feel accepted
You don't really love them you don't really trust them
But feel like it's better than being rejected
But I can't live like that
Aiming for your heart if I miss I'ma spin right back on me no cap
You won't admit that you missing me
You just gonna put on a act you know that's fact
I thought that we was in this together I'm putting in all of the work
I think you a curse the reason I keep getting hurt is because I keep putting you first (Uh uh)
