Lean
Shoutouts Tokyo
Whatever you like, bitch I got it
You need coke, pills, dro, yea I'm on it
Call my boys, bitch hop on it, make 'em poppin'
Lean Doer, I'm exhausted, I be coughin' in that coffin
Make 'em mad, I'm in Yen land
Godzilla blunt hands, SBE
Cold nights, ten stacks
Fuckin' up the world, I been doin' that forever, man
(Sadboys)
I'm in Tokyo, Tokyo drift, rollin' off a pill
'Member when I was a kid, I was hungry for this shit
Now I roll up to the club, baseball bat, where they at?
I got gold on my mat, I got hoes on my back
Rollin' green off a flat, spend a million yen, get it back
Yeah we get it back, bitch
Welcome to Japan, pop pussy with Champagne
悲しい男達とする人生のgame
Tattoos all over my arm and neck
Bitch, I don't fuck with you
We living free, doing it all
Fuck rap game, weed cocaine
Sippin' on codeine, just like Yung Lean
It's ok, 見るがいい俺達のshowcase
Boys, bitch hop on it, make 'em poppin'
Lean Doer, I'm exhausted, I be coughin' in that coffin
With my Tokyo boys in that white Rolls Royce
Make 'em mad, I'm in Yen land
Godzilla blunt (SBE)
Cold nights, ten stacks
Fuckin' up the world, I been doin' that forever, man
ここの魔所は良し, これが Yentown shit
[室も取り?]口に ピル, ここは Wi-Fi free
Chillin' in the cut, Yung Lean right next to me
これが Sadboys shit, 皆同じも好き (好き)
Smoke weed all day, we're invincible
遣りたい事なら遣る let's do it
You look weak, I'm a drain gang hero
I got zeroes and zeroes and zeroes
I feel like summer's close, that's why I'm blowin' smoke
I feel like comin' home, but you know I gotta go
I'm up in Tokyo, runnin' but I'm movin' slow
Crawlin' on the road, Motorola Razr phone
SG, SG, 'til the death of me
Got the knife with me, GTBSBE
Fuck my enemies, silver vampire teeth
I got blood on me, jewelry on ecstasy
New challenge with a Sadboy
Japanese flow the right way
Have fun errday, 毎日冒険
Cop what we want, got something extra
有難う, すいません
東京, Yentown, Yung Leanバック、 イェ
We are Grey Aliens in the universe
Sadboys, dope as fuck
Call my boys, bitch hop on it, make 'em poppin'
Lean Doer, I'm exhausted, I be coughin' in that coffin
With my Tokyo boys in that white Rolls Royce
Make 'em mad, I'm in Yen land
Godzilla blunt, SBE
Cold nights, ten stacks
Fuckin' up the world, I been doin' that forever, man
The lyrics of "Tokyo Drift" by Yung Lean Ft. MonyHorse PETZ Bladee & Junkman describes the artists' ventures and experiences in Tokyo, Japan.

The rapper boasts of his Tokyo boys traveling in a white Rolls Royce while smoking a giant blunt. The artists discuss their lavish lifestyle as they blow through their money, with the lyrics mentioning a million yen spent, getting it back, and making ten stacks on cold nights. The chorus highlights the group's desire to enjoy their lives and have fun while they are young, with lyrics like "We living free, doing it all / Fuck rap game, weed, cocaine / Sippin' on codeine, just like Yung Lean."
The second verse of the song includes a reference to the musical collective "Drain Gang," of which Yung Lean is a member. The lyrics discuss the singers' tattoos and disdain for those who are "weak."
