Roses
Yung Lean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you call me up I might get in where you stay
St-st-stone island, iced out, ain't no tellin' where I stay
If-if I'm gone tomorrow, I'll let them know it's okay
G-G-Gucci on my pants, I got roses on my grave
T-t-too many voices, I can't hear what they say
It's just me, my team blowin' dreams
Driftin' themes, ain't no scheme
See I don't wanna pay for shit and I don't wanna die
Lean get's all his shit for free, cause I gotta survive
I don't wanna pay for shit and I don't wanna die
Lean get's all his shit for free, cause I gotta survive
Jewlery stars around my cart, slap the stupid up
Love my squad we all stars, up on Jupiter
Made it far, crossed the bar, make em' stupid rich
I'm like Bart throwing darts, out a spooky bus
You think you go in, but Lean goin' stupider
Imma make 'em loop it up, packs go round like nucleus
See, I don't wanna pay for shit and I don't wanna die
Lean get's all his shit for free cause I gotta survive, bitch
Candy, everything I see it's painted candy
Lean up in these sheets where I sleep, sippin' brandy
Ban me, all these broke hoes can't stand me
I'm flyin' through outer space, these drugs can't land me
Ban me, get your money up if you're tryna get me (ca$h, ca$h)
All they do is hate, cause they can't understand me
I be pumpin' Smiths in a mansion, you can't be
But you could try to be me
All I see is feelings, but they don't understand me
My family, I got love for them and my fans see
Bitch I'm, bitch I'm, bitch I'm tryna get it like everyday
Press play, day by day, day by day still goes away
Bitch, I'm in the clouds you can see em in broad day
If you call me up, I might get in where you stay
St-st-stoned island, iced out, ain't no tellin' where I stay
Smell the green
I got Louis bags look like coffee
Iced out, ain't no tellin' where I stay
Smell the green
I got Louis bags look like coffee
Yung Lean's "Roses" track is an introspective reflection on the rapper's celebrity lifestyle, his struggles with drug addiction, and the artificiality of fame. In the verse "Bitch I'm in the clouds, you can see me, bruh all day / If you call me up I might get in where you stay," Lean claims he's unreachable to many, stuck in his own world, high on drugs, and drifting away from reality. The line "St-st-stone island, iced out, ain't no tellin' where I stay" points to his luxury lifestyle, but also suggests that Lean is aware of his own identity crisis. He's lost and disconnected from the real world.
In the chorus "Candy, everything I see it's painted candy / Lean up in these sheets where I sleep, sippin' brandy / Ban me, all these broke hoes can't stand me / I'm flyin' through outer space, these drugs can't land me," Lean sings about his obsession with drugs and the illusion of happiness they provide. He's aware that his lifestyle is causing him troubles with others, but he's too numb to care. In the lines "All I see is feelings, but they don't understand me / My family, I got love for them and my fans see," Lean acknowledges the gap between his public persona and his true self. He's grateful for the support of his fans but feels misunderstood by his family and peers.
Overall, "Roses" is a melancholic song that paints a picture of a young artist struggling with fame, addiction, and identity issues. Lean is aware of the pitfalls of his lifestyle but unable to escape them. The song's slow tempo, dreamy synth, and echoey vocals create a dreamlike atmosphere that matches the surreal nature of Lean's lyrics.

Driftin' themes, ain't no scheme
I don't have a fixed plan, just shifting dreams
I k-k-keep my boys around, cause I don't want to talk to peeps

See I don't wanna pay for shit and I don't wanna die
I value free stuff and my survival more than anything else
Lean get's all his shit for free, cause I gotta survive
I manage to get things for free to sustain myself
Jewlery stars around my cart, slap the stupid up

Poor people envy me for my wealth
I'm flyin' through outer space, these drugs can't land me
I feel invincible and unbound by drugs and substances
All they do is hate, cause they can't understand me
People dislike me because they can't comprehend my personality or success
Bitch I'm, bitch I'm, bitch I'm tryna get it like everyday
I strive to achieve my goals every single day
Press play, day by day, day by day still goes away
Time keeps passing and I keep chasing success
Smell the green
I sense the aroma of marijuana
I got Louis bags look like coffee
I own luxury bags that resemble coffee cups

encore
this song is memory of his manager barron, who died in a car crash while bringing yung leans gear so he could make music while in rehab in miami. Lean thought it was his fault for the longest time, but he has forgiven himself. This song is actually extremely emotional on a serious level

It's not yung leans fault that stanley took an xanax before driving is it.

this song is beautiful
intension
I don't know if anyone will read this, but I just wanted to express how much leandoer has done for me, I lost my best friend in a car accident 2 years ago, he was t-boned. Only 18 years old, I feel sad knowing that I lived longer than him. He loved yung lean. Knowing what I do about lean, with barron, and the mental illness, it makes me feel less alone. It gives me hope, knowing that I can get through this period of extended period of major depression, where I've tried again and again and failed. I can make it. We all can. I may have my ups and downs but music will always be there, the sadboy community is amazing as well. Im just trying to keep going, thank u leany, thank you to every artist and beautiful human out there.

wish u the best bro
