Lemon Cars Lyrics – Coi Leray

[Intro]
(Ear Drummers)
Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream
(Mike WiLL Made-It)
Paint jobs

[Verse 1]
Ice cream, yeah, ice cream (Ooh), ice cream
Paint job (Ooh)
Fancy cars (Fancy cars)
Lemon drops (Lemon drops)
She like to go out and she like to fu*k (Yeah, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
Lemon cars (Cars, cars)
The sun is up (Sun, sun)
She prolong ’til she give it up (Up, up)
Splitting bars (Bars, oh) at the bar (Bar)
She don’t know (Know), when she’ll erupt (Uh)

[Chorus]
Shot after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, oh
She just going on and on and on
Shot after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, oh
She just going on and on and on

[Verse 2]
She can’t stop but she can’t get stuck
But she won’t get stuck ’cause she won’t stop
She just going on and on and on
Pour after pour, two times, it gets more intense
Love turns to war, better go ‘head and close that door
You gave me the warning wanting more (Warning wanting more)
Opp around, around, show you what’s in store (In store)

[Pre-Chorus]
Lemon cars (Cars, cars)
The sun is up (Sun, sun)
She prolong ’til she give it up (Up, up)
Splitting bars (Bars, oh) at the bar (Bar)
She don’t know (Know), when she’ll erupt (Uh)

[Chorus]
Shot after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, oh
She just going on and on and on
Shot after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, oh
She just going on and on and on
Shot after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, oh
She just going on and on and on
Shot after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, after shot, oh
She just going on and on and on

[Bridge]
What goes up must come down
Gotta live it up, yeah, I’m living now
We toast up to the cup and we never put it down
I was lost and now I’m found
What goes up must come down
Gotta live it up, yeah, I’m living now
We toast up to the cup and we never put it down
I was lost and now I’m found

[Intro]
The intro sets the tone with repeated chants of “ice cream” and a reference to “paint jobs,” suggesting a flashy, vibrant atmosphere. “Ear Drummers” and “Mike WiLL Made-It” are producer tags, indicating their involvement in creating the beat. These elements create anticipation for the energetic vibe of the song.

[Verse 1]
The first verse introduces the theme of luxury and indulgence, likening the excitement of fancy cars to the sweetness of lemon drops. The mention of enjoying going out and s*xual desire reflects a hedonistic lifestyle, where pleasure-seeking and thrill are central.

[Pre-Chorus]
In the pre-chorus, “lemon cars” symbolize the allure of something enticing but ultimately flawed or disappointing, akin to a sour lemon. The mention of the sun rising suggests the passage of time, while the uncertainty of when she’ll “erupt” hints at unpredictability and volatility in her behavior.

[Chorus]
The repetitive nature of “shot after shot” emphasizes a relentless pursuit of pleasure or escapism, despite its consequences. The phrase “going on and on” conveys a sense of endless repetition or a cycle that’s difficult to break, echoing the theme of excess and addiction.

[Verse 2]
The second verse portrays a sense of inevitability in the protagonist’s actions, unable to stop despite knowing the risks. The escalating intensity of pouring drinks reflects a deepening involvement in reckless behavior, leading to conflicts and emotional turmoil represented by “love turns to war.”

[Pre-Chorus]
Similar to the first pre-chorus, this section reinforces the idea of indulgence leading to uncertainty and potential chaos, with the imagery of “splitting bars” suggesting both a physical location and a breakdown in control.

[Chorus]
Repeating the chorus amplifies the theme of excess and its consequences, emphasizing the cyclical nature of destructive behavior. The continuous repetition of “going on and on” highlights a lack of resolution or escape from this pattern.

[Bridge]
The bridge reflects on the inevitable ups and downs of life, suggesting a realization of the need to seize the moment and embrace the present. Toasting to the cup symbolizes celebrating life’s experiences, never letting go of opportunities, and finding oneself amidst the chaos, ultimately hinting at a sense of personal growth and resilience.
