[Refrain]
I'm not for you
I'm not, looking for New
I'm not for New England
I'm not for New
I'm not for you
I'm not looking for
I'm not for New England
I'm not for New
[Chorus]
Pop, pop, pop, drop this top, top, top
I roll like a rock, rock 'n' roll to the top
I don't give a motherfuck
Watchin' Star Wars, smokin' pot
I take what I got, I live 'til it stops
Ch-ch-chop, chop, chop up my lungs, stay rot
I take what I got, you hate that you not
Like me, hate me, I don't give a motherfuck
What I am, what I'm not, Polo down to my socks
[Verse]
What person, they can't stop, I fly to the top
F-f-fuck what you got, I'm off a pill, rollin' like a rock
White diamonds countin' guap, I got marble on my watch
I got slanders out the front, I'll keep goin' 'til I'm numb
I got pockets like the plug, I'm movin' 'round all day
Fade to grey, everything can't stay
I smoke so much, went away
I'm in Leanworld, l-l-let my mind stay
Whichever today, I love all my brothers, we gon' slay
[Refrain]
I'm not for New England
I'm not, looking for New
I'm not for New England
I'm not for New
[Bridge]
I miss some places, I wish we lived on another earth
You think you hate me, I know that it hurts
Burn, burn, burn, my turn, turn, turn
Burn, burn, burn, my turn, turn, turn
I miss some places, I wish we lived on another earth
You think I hate you, I know that it hurts
I burned, burned, burned, my turn, turn, turns
Take away, I know that it hurts
[Refrain]
I'm not for New England
I'm not for New England
I'm not looking for New
I'm not for New England
I'm not for you
[Chorus]
Pop, pop, pop, drop this top, top, top
I roll like a rock, rock 'n' roll to the top
I don't give a motherfuck
Watchin' Star Wars, smokin' pot
I take what I got, I live 'til it stops
Chop, chop, chop up my lungs, stay rot
I take what I got, you hate that you not
Like me, hate me, I don't give a motherfuck
What I am, what I'm not, Polo down to my socks
[Refrain]
I'm not for New England
I'm not, looking for New
I'm not for you
I'm not for you

All of the traumatic incidents in Lean’s life at the time this song was written made Lean frustrated and angry, which fueled his delivery. Lean has said before that he would’ve been a punk artist, and this track proves it as he shouts each line.
While Lean was touring in Miami, he became addicted to pills, cocaine and weed—often mixing them to frightening results. One night, Lean started tearing his condo apart after he got a nosebleed, and he was brought into a mental hospital in Miami.
“Ultra” is defined as an extremist—in Lean’s case, h...
