Do me, I'ma do me
I'ma make mine, I'ma make mine
I fuck the shine, I said fuck the shine
Bitch, I grind, bitch, I grind
Yung Lean swervin' in, see me fucked up
See me swervin' through, they want me locked up
Been locked up in my own mind
My thoughts will never be shallow

I got an empire of emotion
Squad see me cruisin', cruisin' in my go kart
I'm War ho, I'm Warhol
I'm Wario when I'm in Mario Kart
Topping the charts, ace in my cards
Choppa my locka when I'm writing these bars
Koka Kola veins, I'm insane
Trip through memory lane
Out in Narashino and I see my own white shadow
A tad too close, rad with a bad diagnose
Coke-filled nose, too weird for them other fuckboys
Catch Lean and Sad Boys out in Europe, sipping Cristal
I'm smoking loud with my lost boys
All this money don't make me sad though
Rubber bands in my pants bro
Don't close your eyes and lean back though
Y'all ain't ready for the Lean attack though
Lean, Lean, Lean, youngin with my team
Pumping RZA, eating pizza, man I'm living my dreams
(Living my dreams)
(Fucked your bitch in the)

Do me, I'ma do me
I'ma make mine, I'ma make mine
I fuck the shine, I said fuck the shine
Bitch, I grind, bitch, I grind
Yung Lean swervin' in, see me fucked up
See me swervin' through, they want me locked up
Been locked up in my own mind

Bitch, I grind, bitch, I grind
Yung Lean swervin' in, see me fucked up
See me swervin' through, they want me locked up
Been locked up in my own mind
My thoughts will never be shallow

My life comprehended, it's not a lie
I'm depended on my team
When I send it, I spit fire, I'm an element
I'm everything, you're irrelevant
Ta-take it easy, yeah, we getting it
BBC pants, yeah, I'm getting rich
All this love, I'm melting it
Don't let me down, I'm not meant for it
If you ask me, I might come for it
I'll take you back to the rainforest
My heart and soul, yeah, you tore it
I don't want to be here, my life's more of it
There's more of it
S-A-D B-O-Y-S
See me in the club with it tatted on my chest
S-A-D B-O-Y-S
See me in the cut with it tatted on my chest
See me, see me on the bus, blowing sesh, nothing less
We the best, fuck the rest
Water in my lungs, finna quest, I won't hit the earth
Fire, water, dirt, too turnt, too burnt
Make mistakes, I guess I'll never learn, see, see, see that's my firm
Nike, Nike on my shirt, bubbles, bubbles, blowing bubbles
But I guess they'll never burst, em-empire of my state of mind
I'ma do me, I'ma make her mine
I say fuck the shine, I say fuck the shine
Bitch, I grind, bitch, I grind, I'm hard to find

Do me, I'ma do me
I'ma make mine, I'ma make mine
I fuck the shine, I said fuck the shine
Bitch, I grind, bitch, I grind
Yung Lean swervin' in, see me fucked up
See me swervin' through, they want me locked up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yung Lean's song "Kyoto" narrate an engaging and self-aware reflection of the rapper's life and mentality. The opening lines of the song "Do me, I'ma do me, I'ma make mine, I fuck the shine, I said fuck the shine, bitch, I grind, bitch, I grind" convey a clear message of self-confidence and a relentless work ethic. He is stating that he is going to focus on himself and his craft, while not getting caught up in materialism and chasing the "shine." In the following lines, he acknowledges that he has struggled with mental health issues and has been "locked up in [his] own mind." He even notes that his "thoughts will never be shallow," indicating that he has a lot of depth and complexity to his feelings and experiences.


The second verse of the song focuses on Yung Lean's artistic identity and his musical career. He mentions the "empire of emotion" that he has built for himself and his group, Sad Boys, and references some of his favorite artists and pop culture icons, including Andy Warhol and the Nintendo character Wario. He boasts about his success in the music industry, with "topping the charts" and having an "ace in [his] cards." However, he balances this with a sense of individuality and nonconformism, stating that he is "too weird for them other fuckboys." Throughout the song, Yung Lean showcases a blend of self-assurance, vulnerability, and creativity, providing an introspective look into his psyche.
