Lemonade
Yung Lean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coke up in the swisher, switching lanes like switching bitches
It's just it's just where my stitches
Turn into Looney Tunes riches
Hand around the shoulder I see neon kisses
I'm balling, balling dunk and throw
'Til my hand starts twitching, twitching
Couldn't give less fucks about my career
Posted in a spaceship showing no fear
No one heard about Lean a month ago, ago
I was in my bedroom making music, yo
I make no sense, make nonsense
Should've played in the face of the window from my Benz
Stunting all you haters, I jumped over the fence
Jumped over the chase, jumped up on top of her
With my AK-47 in the face
Take you back to heaven, it's a race
Counting stacks, smoking daze
Bey Bey-blades to count up in my pace
I can buy you lemonade, I can buy you drugs
Arizona tears, Arizona tears
Arizona tears, Arizona tears
Blood tears on my face all I've got is excalibur
Shawty ain't gonna slide through, how the fuck I'm gonna die for her
Blood tears on my face
Shawty ain't gonna slide through, how the fuck I'm gonna die for her
Blood tears on my face all I've got is excalibur
Shawty ain't gonna slide through, how the fuck I'm gonna die for her
Blood tears on my face all I've got is excalibur
Shawty ain't gonna slide through, how the fuck I'm gonna die for her
Coke up in the swisher, switching lanes like switching bitches
It's just it's just where my stitches
Turn into Looney Tunes riches
Hand around the shoulder I see neon kisses
I'm balling, balling dunk and throw
'Til my hand starts twitching, twitching
I can buy you lemonade, I can buy you drugs
The lyrics of Yung Lean's "Lemonade" suggest a drug-fueled reality that may appear warped or nonsensical to a sober mind. The song's first verse portrays the rapper's ability to provide various luxuries, such as lemonade and drugs. He then compares his reckless behavior, such as switching lanes like switching bitches, to the seamlessness of the stitches that he may have. He further alludes to his wealth by transforming stitches into Looney Tunes riches. The imagery takes an eerie turn with the mention of neon kisses, potentially suggesting a fake or artificial reality.
In the second verse, Yung Lean spells out the fact that he does not care about his career or what others think about him. Instead, he sits in his bedroom and creates music that makes no sense, nonsensical creations that he should have played out of the window of his Benz. The second half of the verse describes Yung Lean's defiance against his haters by breaking free from any chains that may be holding him back. He even goes as far as to threaten his detractors with an AK-47, claiming that he can take them back to heaven, however, he is ambiguous about who he wants to race or who he is counting stacks for.
