Yung Lean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sandman CEO
SBE, cash man
Damn man, shawty got it bad with her last man
Fat pants, big diamonds, sipping jasmine
Roll up to the mountain and I'm draped in all black, man
True friends, only roll with true friends
Green tea, straight out the tin can
Think man, reminisce on what has
Has been, hash man
Throw my conscience in the trash can
Trash man, that is what they said I'd be
It's been a good year
It's time to raise the glass man
Cops man, fuck the police, let 'em blast them
Fatten, all my money fattens
What the hell happened?
Fish scale salmon
Hop on the bandwagon

All I do is golden
Work more than Saffron
Plasma's, all my TV's plasma's
Patterns, you can see the patterns in my passion
Only roll companions
Wonderland, I'm in Wonderland like I'm Alice
My palace, is going too fast, let me fasten seat belt
Louis V, can you imagine?
MDMA, no Montana
Let me bring this back to land man
Abandoned, leave you abandoned
Fuck with me and you know we leave you abandoned
Let me bring this back to land man
It's been a good year
Bitch, it's time to raise the glass man

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Sandman" by Yung Lean, "Sandman CEO, SBE, cash man, Damn man, shawty got it bad with her last man," set the tone for a song about success and enjoying the fruits of one's labor. The Sandman CEO references Lean's own record label, Sad Boys Entertainment, and his role as the head of the organization. The "cash man" line and later mention of money and fattening it indicate that Lean is relishing his financial success. The lines about the "last man" and "throw my conscience in the trash can" suggest that Lean has left behind negative influences and is not letting guilt or regret weigh him down.


The chorus of the song reinforces this idea of celebrating the good times after a year of hard work: "It's been a good year/Bitch, it's time to raise the glass man." The references to "fat pants" and "big diamonds" show that Lean is indulging in luxury goods, perhaps as a reward for his work. Later, the lines "My palace, is going too fast, let me fasten seat belt/Louis V, can you imagine?" indicate that Lean is living a lavish lifestyle that he finds exciting, but also potentially dangerous if he gets carried away.


Overall, "Sandman" seems to be a song about reveling in success and the material rewards it can bring, but also acknowledging the potential pitfalls of excess.
