The song was recorded before Lean “detached from reality” and had a mental breakdown; destroying his condo. The police found him covered in blood from the debris—he was then checked into a mental hospital in Miami. Soon after, his friend Barron died after crashing his car while on Xanax.
The screamed delivery on the track represents his anger and frustration.

I'm not looking for [...]
I'm not [...] for New England
I'm not for you
I'm not [...] for New England
I'm not looking for [...]
I'm not [...] for New England
I'm not for you
Pop, pop, pop! Drop this top, top, top!
I roll like a rock, rock n' roll to the top
I don't give a motherfuck–
Watchin' Star Wars, smokin' pot
I take what I got, I live till it stops
Chop, chop, chop! All my lungs stay rot!
I take what I got, you hate that you're not
Like me, hate me, I don't give a motherfuck–!
What I am, what I'm not, Polo down to my socks
What person, they can't stop, I fly to the top
F-f-fuck what you got, I'm off a pill, rollin' like a rock
White diamonds, countin' guap, I got marble on my watch
I got slam doors out the front, I'll keep goin' till I'm numb
I got pockets like the plug, I'm movin' 'round all day
Fade to grey, everything can't stay
I smoke so much, went away
I'm in Leanworld, l-l-let my mind stay
Whichever today, I love all my brothers, we gon' slay
(I'm not [...] for New England)
(I'm not looking for [...])
(I'm not [...] for New England)
(I'm not for you)
I miss some places, I wish we lived on another earth
You think you hate me, I know that it burns
Burn, burn, burn, my turn, turn, turn
Burn, burn, burn, my turn, turn, turn
I miss some places, I wish we lived on another earth
You think I hate you, I know that it burns
I burned, burned, burned, my turn, turn, turns
Take a way and yearn, yearn, yearn
(I'm not [...] for New England)
I'm not [...] for New England
I'm not looking for [...]
I'm not [...] for New England
I'm not for you
Pop, pop, pop! Drop this top, top, top!
I roll like a rock, rock n' roll to the top
I don't give a motherfuck–
Watchin' Star Wars, smokin' pot
I take what I got, I live till it stops
Chop, chop chop! All my lungs stay rot!
I take what I got, you hate that you're not
Like me, hate me, I don't give a motherfuck–!
What I am, what I'm not, Polo down to my socks
I'm not [...] for New England
I'm not looking for [...]
I'm not [...] for New England
I'm not for you
I'm not [...] for New England
I'm not looking for [...]
I'm not [...] for New England
The lyrics of Yung Lean's "Miami Ultras" seem to be a sort of stream of consciousness, where the rapper is expressing his thoughts and emotions without necessarily adhering to a strict narrative. The song seems to be a tribute to a life of excess and rebellion, with the singer stating repeatedly that he is not interested in conforming to society's standards or expectations ("I'm not for you", "I don't give a motherfuck").
The first stanza has the line "I'm not [...] for New England" repeated four times, with the missing words leaving an air of ambiguity to the message. Some speculate that it references Lean's disinterest in the traditional "American Dream" of settling down in New England with a career and house. The following lines suggest a carefree and hedonistic lifestyle of indulging in drugs and pop culture, with the singer saying he'll keep going until he's "numb".
The second stanza has Lean expressing a sort of melancholy sentiment, stating that he wishes he lived on a different earth and acknowledging the burning hatred between him and his detractors. The repetition of "burn" and "turn" could symbolize a desire to transform or escape his current state.
Overall, the song seems to have a rebellious and empowering message of choosing to live life on your own terms, without worrying about what others think or societal expectations.

Песня о Биполярном Расстройстве, а именно как наносишь себе разрушение и самоуничтожаешься в различных фазах этого заболевания (наркотические вещества, мысли, необдуманные поступки, разрушение межличностных отношений) Я сам болею БАР 2 типа уже около 8 лет. Это ужасная болячка
Янг Лину повезло что он может в творчество, и его вовремя заметили когда он съехал крышей. Я же долгое время оставался без лечения, и мозги сгорают от этой болезни в прямом смысле. Лекарств много приходится пить, у которых страшные побочные эффекты.
Очень тяжелый трек…😢
Когда вовремя эту болячку ловишь (Лин спровоцировал не наркотиками и попал в психушку в состоянии Мании) и там его вовремя скорректировали.
А так, обычно не замечаешь это за собой, чувствуешь что это так и должно быть. Сначала депрессуха месяцами, потом гипомании неделями, и потом это становится все хуже когда расшатываешь себе психику стрессами и наркотиками, тогда тяжело определить что с тобой…
Лину ещё повезло что с ним рядом команда друзей, иначе без неё он бы не стал таким, да и разрушил бы себя окончательно, не будь Bladee рядом с ним когда он сходил с ума.
