Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Extra clip in it, nigga, I ain't got no aim

The lyrics to LIL UZI VERT's song Lo Mein center around the rapper's luxurious lifestyle and his success in the music industry. UZI describes his Balmain-pocket filled with fresh romaine, which is a reference to the high-end designer brand Balmain and the slang term for money, "lettuce." He also references his XO chain, which is a nod to fellow rapper The Weeknd's record label, XO. UZI boasts about his wealth by stating he carries $5,500 with him to the club, enough to make it rain and cause a storm. He also references his choice of weapon, a 7.62 gun, which he uses to turn a man into G.I. Jane. UZI then switches to discussing his relationships with women, including his side girl who wants to be his main and his main girl who is jealous of his side. He flexes his wealth by stating he can buy anything he wants, never gains weight despite indulging in lavish meals, and attracts women with his money.
One of the interesting facts about the song is its title, "Lo Mein," which is a popular Chinese dish made from noodles and vegetables. The title is a nod to UZI's love of Asian cuisine and has become a meme among his fans. Another interesting fact is that the song was produced by TM88, Southside, and Supah Mario, who are well-known in the trap music scene. The beat features a catchy melody with a variety of synths and 808 drums that create a rhythm perfect for Uzi's fast-paced delivery. The song was also part of UZI's album, "Eternal Atake," which broke numerous streaming records upon its release in 2020.
Another interesting fact about the song is that UZI's use of the metaphor G.I. Jane is a reference to the 1997 action movie starring Demi Moore as a woman recruited into the U.S. Navy's Special Warfare Division. The movie was a box office success and has since become a cultural reference for strong women. Additionally, the line "Moonwalkin' all on the money" is a nod to Michael Jackson's signature dance move and a reference to UZI's wealth. The song's music video, directed by Award-winning music video director Gibson Hazard, features Uzi in a futuristic environment wearing a variety of designer clothes and jewelry while performing the song.
The chords for Lo Mein by LIL UZI VERT are not available as the song does not include an instrumental or a guitar solo. Instead, the song features instrumental beats, synths, and drums produced by TM88, Southside, and Supah Mario. The song is played at a tempo of 146 BPM in the key of E minor. The instrumental also features use of the bass, hi-hats, and piano that create a melody that fits perfectly with Uzi's fast-paced rapping style.
