Lean (part. Amenazzy y Lito Kirino)

Bad Bunny's song 'Lean,' featuring Amenazzy and Lito Kirino, delves into the world of substance use, specifically focusing on the shift from Percocet to Lean, a popular recreational drug. Lean, also known as 'purple drank,' is a concoction made from prescription-strength cough syrup containing codeine, soda, and sometimes candy. The song's repetitive chorus emphasizes this transition, highlighting a preference for Lean over Percocet, another commonly abused prescription drug.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a hedonistic lifestyle, where materialism and drug use are intertwined. Amenazzy's verses talk about buying luxury items like Gucci bags and paying for cosmetic enhancements, all while indulging in a life of excess. The mention of 'trío, condones y venezolana' (threesome, condoms, and Venezuelan) further underscores the song's focus on a lavish, carefree lifestyle. This portrayal is not just about the drugs but also about the social status and the allure of fame that comes with it.

Bad Bunny's contribution to the song adds another layer, where he acknowledges the addictive nature of Lean and its impact on relationships. His lines, 'Yo no me enamoro, ni aunque cupido me fleche' (I don't fall in love, not even if Cupid shoots me), suggest a detachment and emotional numbness, possibly a side effect of the drug use. Lito Kirino's verse continues this theme, blending references to drug use with a sense of invincibility and control, despite the underlying chaos.

The song is a reflection of a broader cultural phenomenon where drug use is glamorized in the context of wealth and fame. It serves as both a celebration and a cautionary tale, illustrating the seductive yet destructive nature of such a lifestyle.
