Lean
Kenny Mason Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To fly with you again
And i hold back the tears
Every time i think of you
And how upset you'd get
To know i felt like this
So i don't tell them shit
I jus close my eyes and think of you
When ain't no one to lean on
When ain't no one to lean on
When ain't no one to lean on
Cause they don't understand me bruh
Ain't no one to lean on
Ain't no one to lean on
When ain no one to lean on
Cause they don't understand me bruh
I'm tired of trying to guess
I'm tired of dodging death
It's time that i confess
I ain't felt no acceptance after the night you left
The day dey believe me
Da way u believe me
Is da day dat i can think about takin it easy
Ain a day dat ion think about scraping and leaving
But i stay i sing, thinking dat maybe you see it
The song "Lean" by Kenny Mason is a heartfelt and emotional track that talks about the singer's longing to fly with someone again. The lyrics are reflective of his feelings regarding a past relationship, as he reminisces on how he would give up everything he has to be with that person again, and how holding back tears has become a standard part of his life. He vividly describes how upset his past partner would be if they knew how he felt and how this has led to him not being able to share his emotions with anyone else.
Kenny goes on to talk about a constant struggle of not having anyone to lean on because nobody can relate or understand him. He is tired of trying to guess and dodge death, and it is time to confess that he has not felt any acceptance since his past partner left. It is only when people start to believe in him as his past partner did, that he would be able to take it easy. However, he acknowledges that every day he thinks about scraping and leaving but remains, singing, and hoping that maybe his past partner can see it.
"Lean" is a reflection of Kenny Mason's raw and authentic feelings. The lyrics capture how much he misses his past partner and the emptiness he feels after they left. They also express his search for someone to lean on, empathize, and understand but finds that hard to come by. This track is an excellent example of how music can be used to convey intense and profound feelings that are relatable to anyone who has been through a similar experience.

So i don't tell them shit
I keep my emotions bottled up because no one understands
I jus close my eyes and think of you
