I am attempting to decipher Lil Pump's lyrics to achieve enlightenment.

What do you guys think Lil Pump meant in the following lines from his hit song, "Gucci Gang"?

"My lean cost more than your rent, ooh (it do)
Your momma still live in a tent, yuh (brr)"

Is he referring to the general listener in the second person, or is it a specific person he is calling out? Does his specific mixture of codeine-containing cough syrup and soda cost so much that it is more than the average cost of rent? Or is he simply consuming so much of it that he has spent more on it than the average rent? Does he mean that the person or people that these lines are directed at is homeless? Is he congratulating someone on their low cost of living, as perhaps they have found a good deal? Is he insinuating that the person lives in a residence of poor condition due to their lack of wealth?

Lil Pump ad libs "it do" after the first line. I assume this is intended to emphasize said line. It is possible that he says this because the claim of the first line is somewhat incredulous, but Lil Pump is sure of his claim.

The second line may also reference homelessness, but I'm not entirely sure. I have not figured out why the mother of the person is living in a tent. We can only deduce that the mother has likely lived a tent for a significant amount of time, as Lil Pump's word choice includes the use of "still".

I would love to hear your feedback on these lyrics.

Having done some independent research, I have discovered that a brand of cough syrup commonly used for lean has been discontinued since 2014. This has resulted in a great increase in the price of making lean in some parts of the U.S. Thus, it is indeed possible that Lil Pump's lean does in fact cost more than your rent.

However, I still am unsure as to the deeper meaning of the second line.

I believe the second line stems from the fact that everyone is below Lil Pump on a hierarchy of houses with a tent being at the bottom of the pile. This means that your mum is so far down after all these years, she still lives in a tent and hasn’t progressed.

I could share so much music here that I find something in. But I'll stick to just rap/hip hop since it's rap oriented thread topic and post a few songs. It's up to you to listen and figure stuff out.

That's not metal, that's "death metal".

Metal contains talent... (bad song name) + "meets metal" = Talent on Youtube

This is death metal (after Justin Bieber hit puberty):
