Lemonade (feat. Don Toliver, Gunna & Nav)

The song 'Lemonade' by Internet Money, featuring Don Toliver, Gunna, and Nav, is a braggadocious anthem that delves into the luxurious and hedonistic lifestyle associated with fame and success in the hip-hop industry. The artists use vivid imagery and metaphors to describe their extravagant lives, filled with designer clothes, expensive jewelry, and partying with college girls. The repeated references to 'Xanny bars' and 'codeine' indicate a reliance on substances to either cope with or enhance their reality, suggesting that their glamorous life is not without its darker sides.

The chorus, with its catchy hook 'Ice (ice), lemonade, my neck was drippin',' uses 'lemonade' as a metaphor for the artists' flashy jewelry, typically diamonds, which are often referred to as 'ice' in hip-hop slang. This hook encapsulates the essence of the song – a celebration of wealth and the material symbols that come with it. However, the mention of 'lemonade' also subtly hints at the idea that not everything is as sweet as it seems, playing on the saying 'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,' which suggests making the best out of a bad situation.

The verses from each artist reflect on their past struggles and the contrast to their current success. They talk about overcoming adversity and betrayal, and the satisfaction of proving doubters wrong. The song is a testament to their resilience and determination to succeed despite the odds. It's a narrative of transformation from having 'nothing' to achieving a life of luxury, while also acknowledging the potential pitfalls of fame, such as losing touch with reality and the risk of legal troubles.
