Lil Yachty ‘Poland’ Lyrics – Listen to Viral New Song

Lil Yachty  has been quiet for the better part of a year, after putting out Birthday Mix 6 last August. The Atlanta rapper appears to have a viral hit on his hands with his latest release " Poland ."

Boat uploaded the F1lthy-produced track on SoundCloud on Tuesday (Oct. 4) to a massive response, the vast majority of which were made up of positive reactions. With a simple yet incredibly catchy chorus, Lil Yachty can be heard singing the lyrics "I took the Wock to Poland," seemingly in reference to the slang term for Wockhardt, a pharmaceutical company known for producing promethazine and codeine, the types of cough syrup often found in a cup of lean.

News of "Poland" becoming a viral moment appears to have come as a surprise to the "Yacht Club" rapper. Amid a series of tweets on Tuesday, Lil Yachty explained that he was inclined to prematurely drop the track after he says it leaked unexpectedly.

"Swear da new sound leaked," tweeted Lil Boat.

He quickly added: "I'ma just drop date joint den, fuck it."

With "Poland" receiving widespread critical praise across the internet since its debut, fans and other rappers alike have come out in support of Yachty and his new banger on social media.

"Lil Yachty on my list of best-dressed rappers too," tweeted Wiz Khalifa on Tuesday. "That Poland song is hard."

On Thursday (Oct. 6), both DDG and Denzel Curry took the time out to hit up Twitter to simply write out the lyrics to the song's infectious hook.

"Lil Yachty bringing the wock to Poland has been a bigger moment of 2022 than the queen dying," wrote one Twitter user in reference to the viral impact Lil Boat's drop has seen.

"That nigga Lil Yachty just made an entire country relevant again," another user added.

One Yachty fan shared the sentiments of many by declaring that "Poland" is "one of the best things he's ever dropped."

"Lil Yachty is more influential than Robert Lewandowski cuz last time I checked, Lewa never took the wock to Poland," tweeted a fan in reference to one of the most popular professional soccer players to ever come out of Poland.

Even with all of the positive reactions to "Poland," Twitter users still had to do their thing with some light jokes about the obviously doctored vocal vibrato featured on the song's chorus.

Boat's new sounds follow the release of "Humble," a Diplo-produced single that was Lil Yachty 's first drop since last year.

Poland by Lil Yachty

Songfacts®:

• "Poland" is a sparse 1:20 track where Lil Yachty croons about traveling with a supply of lean. I took the Wock' to Poland I took the Wock' to Poland I took the Wock' to Poland Lean is an illicit and addictive drink made of soda or fruit juice mixed with prescription-strength cough syrup and hard candy. Wockhardt, a pharmaceutical company founded in India in the 1960s, manufactures the cough syrup, hence "the wock." Why Yachty states he "took the Wock' to Poland" is unclear. There is no record of the rapper having ever visited the Eastern European country.
• Lean features prominently in hip-hop lyrics; other rappers have referred to variants of Wockhardt. In 2021, Moneybagg Yo dropped a hit single titled " Wockesha ." On " All In ," Lil Baby raps: Sippin' wockiana, come here, thotiana And on Internet Money's " Lemonade ," Gunna spits: I'm a rockstar, play guitars, sippin' Wock' .
• The rest of the song comprises one verse where Yachty, armed with his KelTec pistol, ponders if his girl really loves him. He continues to talk about sipping lean ("I been leaning Wock") and his craving for the pharmaceutical drug ("I been fiending Wock).
• Philadelphia producer Filthy created the beat. Filthy also has production credits for the likes of Playboi Carti ("Stop Breathing"), and Bladee ("Gatekeeper").
• Lil Yachty recorded "Poland" in 2021 but it remained unheard until a snippet leaked online on August 31, 2022. Responding to the leak, Yachty released the track exclusively on SoundCloud. It quickly went viral as the "I took the Wock to Poland" hook triggered interest. This led to an official release on all streaming platforms on October 11, 2022.

How Lil Yachty got whole world wailing with Poland

10 Songs that defined 2022: The rapper’s ode to cough syrup started as a joke. It ended up being his biggest hit.

Words: Will Pritchard 8th December 2022

If you wanted a snapshot of how hits are minted in 2022, you could do worse than listen to Lil Yachty’s Poland . Little more than a sketch, a sound effect, a meme – and strikingly brief at a shade over 80 seconds – it’s also one of the year’s biggest songs, clocking just shy of 100 million streams in the two months since its release.

Recorded as a joke, then leaked, then uploaded by Yachty to Soundcloud (caption: ​ “ STOP LEAKING MY SHIT”) in October, it was soon followed by a  video shot by Cole Bennett of coveted rap platform Lyrical Lemonade.

Not long after that, it was everywhere.

The Bee Gees may have started a joke that had the whole world crying , but Lil Yachty started one that had the whole world wailing. Wailing, specifically, about taking a bottle of intoxicating cough syrup to Eastern Europe. ​ “ It’s funny that people like this song,” a somewhat bemused Yachty told YouTuber Zik ​ “ ZIAS” Asiegbu. The song isn’t finished, but that doesn’t matter: it’s been remade and reimagined thousands of times over on TikTok already.

Its appeal lies somewhere in the uncanny valley of the chorus – those chilly, cyber, vibrato, shape-shifting synth lines – and the epic but scuzzy beat courtesy of F1lthy, a producer who’s also crafted synth-heavy songs by rage rap stars Playboi Carti and Yeat. It helps that it’s mostly hook, too. The solitary verse – more breather than stanza, rapped with a comedown shiver – is haunted by the ghostly, nonsensical refrain.

It’s also strikingly of its time in the sense that its enormous success (eclipsing pretty much everything Yachty’s done since he broke big with his whimsical brand of mumble rap in 2017) was both totally unpredictable and unplanned: a spark of inane inspiration catching a TikTok tailwind and pulling everyone from Steve Lacy to Cardi B into its orbit.

This is what it sounds like when the line between meme and song dissolves. Meaning and time evaporate, and all that’s left is irony. Despite being hailed ( let’s say ironically ) by Poles as a defining moment in the nation’s history, and garnering comment from a spokesperson for the Polish embassy in Washington, D.C. ( if not an actual invite to visit from the Prime Minister), Yachty was actually singing about a bottle of spring water from Maine, New England when he came up with the hook. But the whole world sang along with him anyway.

Lil Yachty Is Taking Rap By Storm With “Poland,” His Weirdest, Catchiest Song to Date

Lil Yachty is having one of the best weeks of his career thanks to an 83-second song called “Poland,” in which he croons about bringing lean to the Central European country. Since he posted it to Soundcloud nine days ago, the track has become a viral sensation, tallying 6 million plays, inspiring dozens of memes, and making the digital charts in 48 different countries after being uploaded to Apple Music and Spotify. Its video treatment, from in-demand director Cole Bennet, has racked up over 4 million YouTube views and counting. Yachty has since been invited to Poland by the country’s prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki (at least according to the rapper’s label boss, Pierre “Pee” Thomas). But “Poland” is more than just an unexpected hit: It’s a reminder of Yachty’s oft-doubted potential as a non-traditional rap star.

“I was actually just trolling,” explained Yachty in a reaction video with ZIAS! , talking about how the song randomly came together in the studio when he saw someone“drinking a Poland Spring water bottle. Obviously, I had some Wock, but he had a Poland Spring water bottle. And the song was a joke, like I was just trolling.” Not only was the song a joke, Yachty didn’t even intend to release it until a leak forced his hand. He uploaded it to Soundcloud with the caption, “STOP LEAKING MY SHIT.”

The song became an instant meme thanks to Yachty’s autotune-laced warble of the line “I took the woooOOoooOOck to Poland” (referencing the cough syrup often used in lean) over a woozy beat from Philadelphia producer F1lthy, a member of the Working on Dying producer collective. F1lthy is probably best known for producing six songs on Playboi Carti’s Whole Lotta Red , an album that gained an enduring allure for its sonic experimentation. The hazy “Poland” beat sounds like something that could have slid onto WLR ’s tracklist…or soundtracked the boss level of a 16-bit Sega game.

While it was only officially released to streaming services a couple of days ago, there’s good reason to believe “Poland” will quickly impact the Billboard charts, in spite of—or perhaps because of—its length. Popular on TikTok, “Poland” could potentially follow the trajectory of Armani White’s 99-second breakout hit, “BILLIE EILISH,” British rapper Central Cee’s inescapable 97-second song “Doja,” or Bronx rapper Ice Spice’s viral one-minute and 45-second song “Munch (Feelin’ U).”

But unlike those breakthrough acts, Yachty is already an established artist. He first blew up in 2016 as an 18-year-old, when his viral Soundcloud songs, like “Minnesota” and “One Night,” ushered in his self-described style of "bubblegum trap”—so named because they sounded more like Nickelodeon theme songs than the hard-hitting trap music his Atlanta peers were putting out as the city’s popularity crested. Yachty has always been upfront about not coming from the street life, never acting as if he did in his lyrics. Instead, he oozed optimism, rocked his trademark red hair with aplomb, and had a knack for marketing.

As his career took off, critics scoffed and dismissed him as “mumble rap.” To a certain cohort, he represented everything wrong with hip-hop. Yachty had heated interviews with Joe Budden and Ebro , was criticized by legends like Pete Rock , and upset fans when he said he couldn’t name five songs by either 2Pac or Biggie. Lord Jamaar went so far as to say , “People who like this are actually stupid.”

But the joke was on them. "One Night" went double platinum, and since then he’s had some of his best moments as a collaborator, showing genuine chemistry on bubbly, cheery songs like "Broccoli" and “iSpy” (with DRAM and Kyle, respectively), or trap bangers like "From the D to the A" with Tee Grizzley. The “mumble rapper” proved to be an adept songwriter, penning “Act Up,” a hit song for his QC labelmates City Girls. (His cameo in the music video is a tacit nod to his authorship.)

At the same time, the criticism was not completely unwarranted. His debut album, 2017’s Teenage Emotions , clocked in at 70 minutes and it was clear he didn’t always have that much to say. At best, he was charming with a melodic flair. At worst, his bars could come off lazy and clumsy, with lines like, "You stinky and dirty like farts."

In 2018, he dropped two albums, Lil Boat 2 and Nuthin’ 2 Prove . Despite the latter’s title, it felt like he had internalized the criticism of his early career and was determined to prove he really could rap. On “Everything Good, Everything Right,” he spits, “Gotta prove everyone wrong/Had to take some time alone/Had to regroup, got that shit right.” Yet for all his efforts, he simply wasn’t a top-tier lyricist. His brand is positivity, his attempts at being braggadocious an awkward fit. Generic lines about being a rich, iced-out rapper stripped him of his individuality. His determination became a detriment, he went from meshing with others to getting eclipsed by collaborators like Cardi B and Offset on songs like “Who Want the Smoke.”

Follow-up albums like Lil Boat 3 and Michigan Boy Boat exhibited some musical growth and emotional maturity—particularly the latter, which embraced Detroit rap styles. But neither of those projects produced hits. Ultimately, he may never win over the critics, though it’s clear he doesn’t need to.

The best part about “Poland” is that it’s cold like “Minnesota.” Yachty’s deep baritone voice can lead him to a monotone delivery, which doesn't always make for compelling verses. On “Poland,” the autotune adds texture, his words unfurl like a bottle of lean carefully being poured into soda. The amateurish nature of his singing and his tendency to carry one melody throughout a song only adds to its appeal. Now 25 years old and seven years removed from his breakout song, Yachty is on the verge of another hit because he embraced the playfulness that made him unique in the first place.

Sure, he’s probably never been to Poland , but the line was perfect fodder for memes. The meme that truly captures the song’s peculiar appeal is a TikTok video posted by @chadio where he starts out calling the song trash before actually listening to it and being seduced by its charm, the malleable lyrics morph from “walk to Poland” to “rock to Oakland” to “guac to Chipotle.” A cynical mind might wonder if there was an orchestrated marketing campaign behind them popping up so fast, but, much like the song itself, they’re too fun to think too hard about.

Lil Yachty – “Poland” Lyrics Meaning

Lil Yachty’s “Poland” is a vivid, thoughtful piece. It’s not just a song; it’s a journey into the artist’s state of mind. Yachty uses a simple, repetitive hook – “I took the Wock’ to Poland” – as a metaphor for escapism and his battle with personal demons. The song is less about a specific person and more about Yachty’s inner struggles. He’s candid about issues like dependency and the constant fight with one’s darker thoughts. This raw honesty is why he wrote “Poland.” It’s a window into his soul, a candid reflection of his challenges and coping mechanisms.

Imagine a song that’s more than just catchy lyrics. “Poland” is a deep dive into Lil Yachty’s mind. It’s an exploration of themes that are as real as they are relatable. Keep reading, and you’ll see just how much a few lines can reveal about life, struggles, and the quest for peace.

“Poland” Lyrics Meaning

“Poland” by Lil Yachty is a masterclass in using minimalism to convey depth. The song kicks off with a catchy, yet simple line: “I took the Wock’ to Poland.” This repetition isn’t just for rhythm; it’s symbolic. Yachty uses “Wock'” (a reference to Wockhardt, a cough syrup used recreationally) as a metaphor for escapism, for taking his troubles and habits to a place far away, both literally and metaphorically.

As we move through the song, Yachty touches on themes of dependency and internal struggle. The line “I been fiending, like I’m Kenan” suggests a constant craving, an unending battle. His mention of “Ride around with a Kel-Tec” hints at a sense of protection or defense against unseen threats, possibly his own demons.

The song’s simplicity is its strength. It’s about feeling lost, about trying to find solace in something, anything. “Phone still ringing, battling all my demons,” he raps, painting a picture of a man at war with himself, trying to find peace amidst chaos.

The Story Behind “Poland”

“Poland” is a glimpse into Lil Yachty’s psyche. When he wrote this song, he was in a reflective, perhaps even troubled state of mind. It’s a musical expression of his battles with personal issues like dependency and the relentless pursuit of inner peace. The repetitive nature of “I took the Wock’ to Poland” is telling. It suggests a cycle, a repetitive journey in search of escape. Yachty isn’t just talking about physical travel; he’s discussing a mental and emotional journey. The song serves as a metaphor for seeking solace in something outside oneself, even if that solace is temporary and potentially harmful.

His openness about battles with demons, both external and internal, adds a layer of authenticity to his music. “Poland” isn’t just a song; it’s an artist baring his soul, sharing his struggles, and inviting listeners into his world. This raw, unfiltered glimpse into his life is what makes “Poland” resonate with so many. It’s a song born from a real, human experience – an experience that many can relate to, even if the specifics differ.
