Ice Cold Smoke
Yung Lean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make my city proud
Fuck everyone, king without a crown
Lean up in the whip, yeah turn it up
Just got a check, might burn it up
Lost at life, I don't boost up
All this time flies away in my coffee cup
I like being alone, shut the fuck up
I got Gucci, Louis, APC gear on
Live in Winterland, but I'm iced up
See me blowing ice cold smoke, finna' roll up
See me blowing ice cold smoke, finna' roll up
See me flying high, I got no love
Pull up to the spot with my Range Rover
See me flying high, I got no love
Pull up to the spot with my Rover
Eternal life
Make my city proud
Fuck everyone, king without a crown
Lean up in the whip, yeah turn it up
Just got a check, might burn it all
The song "Ice Cold Smoke" by Yung Lean has lyrics that touch on themes of loneliness, materialism, and feeling lost. The song starts with Yung Lean rapping about wanting to achieve eternal life and make his city proud, while at the same time, feeling isolated and not wanting to be bothered by anyone. He then raps about being lost in life and not having the energy to improve himself. The lyrics "All this time flies away in my coffee cup" is an analogy that shows the singer's feeling that his life is passing him by while he is stagnant.
In the next verse, he raps about his expensive taste in fashion, naming some of the most popular brands in the industry. He also mentions being in Europe and having a good time with his Sad Alliance crew. The chorus serves as an escape from reality as he sings about getting high and forgetting about all of his problems.
One interesting interpretation of the line "I got no love" in the chorus is that it refers to the absence of love in his life, but at the same time, it can also mean that he doesn't give any love to the people in his life. Moreover, Winterland can be interpreted both as a reference to the amusement park or a metaphor for feeling lonely and cold, given that he is also "iced up." All in all, Lean's lyrics seem to be a reflection of his internal struggles with solitude, success, and his material aspirations.
