Gatorade
Yung Lean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shawty what you sippin' on, Gatorade
Shawty what you smokin' on, lemonade
I'm up in the sky, finna elevate
Mix it with some kool-aid
Pop 'em pills cos I get paid
Reality is far away
Liquid love got me floatin' away
Up in the club, Grey Goose every day
Stacks on racks 'til my mind starts melting away
Smoking that jay
Posted in the bay
SADBOYS sippin' Arizona day by day
Day by day I goes away
Swerving swerving on this iced tea
Yung Gud Shorty posted with that DMT
Hash in the pipe is ABC
Cut their wrists and lay 'em down gently
Leopard colored backseat in my Bentley
Relently I pop two pills too many
I don't give a fuck I brought plenty
(Champagne and lobster it's a rich kid party
You know what it do Yung Lean Doer shawty
Rockin' bravo bravo charlie
Sippin' on Barcadi)
Skinny bitches they die quick
Grim reaper on my dick
Fuck her from the back ain't that some shit
Cum in her face I ain't scared to die
I'm in my zone with my team I'm so high
I'm spaced out Arizona iced out yeah I'm that guy
Neon polar bears I drink iced tea all day
Catch me in a Hummer with your mother and Macy Gray
Million ways posted up in the Milky Way
Silky lake with a couple hundred bills to pay
Stuck in a Monday with Bill all day
Neon lights and I swerve around
Yung Lean's song Gatorade is a multi-layered exploration of drug use, party culture, and escape from reality. The song opens with the question "Shawty what you sippin' on, Gatorade?" suggesting that the girl he is talking to is also indulging in some kind of substance to escape from reality, in this case, Gatorade. The next line reveals that she is also "smokin' on lemonade". The use of a non-drug in conjunction with a drug strengthens the idea that the singer is using substances to escape from reality.
In the next few lines, Yung Lean continues to explore the idea of escaping from reality through drug use. He talks about floating away on "liquid love" and being up in the sky to elevate himself. The imagery is dreamy and hazy, as though he is talking about taking a hallucinogenic drug. He references pills, suggesting that perhaps he is also taking prescription drugs to escape.
The second half of the song takes a darker turn. The singer talks about skinny girls dying quick and the grim reaper being on his dick. He talks about cumming in a girl's face and not being afraid to die. The lyrics suggest a darker, more nihilistic view of life, where nothing really matters because we are all going to die anyway.
