Lean 4 Real

"Lean 4 Real" is the third track off of Playboi Carti's debut studio album Die Lit (2018), featuring A$AP Mob affiliate Skepta, marking Carti and Skepta's first ever released collaboration. The song is produced by indigochildrick who had also provided adlibs for the song and had heavily written for it.
The song is an ode to the beverage known as lean, a beverage created by mixing a soda (typically Sprite or Fanta) with cough medicine containing codeine and promethazine and occasionally a hard candy for flavor.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_(drug)
