BURN EVERYTHING Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ye]
Oh, burn everything like gasoline
Oh, burn everything like gasoline
Oh, like gasoline
Wife got Celine
That’s not my thing
We got those tings
Oh, I just can’t change
Burn everything, oh, burn everything

[Chorus: Sean Leon]
Storm look like lightning when I shine (Legend, legend, legend, legend)
They gon’ know my name before I die (Legend, legend, legendary)

[Verse 2: Sean Leon]
Glory in my eyes, bitch, this the story of my life
And you’ll be sorry that you tried me
You’ll be sorry that you lied, yeah, you’ll be sorry
I pour out 40 for the guys, this for my brodies in the skies
And not these phonies in disguise, they tellin’ stories
Yeah, they tellin’ stories, tellin’ lies
‘Cause the fact is I’m right, so the facts, they don’t like
Uh, they tellin’ stories, tellin’ lies
Tryna censor my light, but I’m blessed, I’m alright

[Chorus: Sean Leon]
Storm look like lightning when I shine (Legend, legend)
They gon’ know my name before I die (Legend, legend, legendary)
Storm look like lightning when I shine (Legend, legend)
They gon’ know my name before I die (Legend, legend, legendary)
Legend

[Verse 3: Sean Leon]
Yeah, ayy, I’m a legend, when I step in
Ego trippin’, ego deathin’
This is destined
This is God flow, this is heaven
This that seven, seven, seven
This that flow from my transgressions
Second guessin’ every second
Each and every session feel like sex and armageddon
What’s my new obsession? Just this bitch in my possession
What’s in my direction? Just these mils from my expression
Baby, I’m your best friend, not your boyfriend, that’s a dead end
Didn’t you learn your lesson from your last man? Shit depressin’
Didn’t I tell you last time? I’m a motherfuckin’—

[Outro: Ye & Sean Leon]
Legend (They gon’ know my name before I die)
Burn everything (Storm look like lightning when I shine)
Legend, like gasoline (They gon’ know my name before I die)
Burn everything
Oh, burn everything (Storm look like lightning when I shine)
I just can’t change (Storm look like lightning when I shine)
Burn everything
(They gon’ know my name before I die)
(They gon’ know my name before I die)
Burn everything

BURN EVERYTHING Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Ye]
Ye opens the track with a hypnotic chant-like repetition of “burn everything,” invoking fire as a metaphor for personal rebirth and emotional scorched earth. The mention of luxury items and emotional detachment highlights a disconnect between material gain and inner change. His refusal to change reflects a hardened stance against vulnerability, framing destruction as a coping mechanism or act of control.

[Chorus: Sean Leon]
Sean Leon’s chorus contrasts Ye’s chaotic energy with a more focused proclamation of legacy. Comparing his brilliance to a storm that flashes like lightning, he asserts his intent to be remembered. The repeated use of “legend” emphasizes his aspiration to leave an undeniable mark, regardless of external perception or obstacles.

[Verse 2: Sean Leon]
This verse dives deeper into Sean Leon’s emotional core. He addresses betrayal, loss, and the dissonance between truth and public perception. Honoring fallen friends and calling out falsehoods, he portrays himself as resilient in the face of adversity. The defiance in his tone reinforces the idea that his light cannot be dimmed by lies or censorship.

[Chorus: Sean Leon]
The return of the chorus reinforces Sean Leon’s identity as a “legend,” echoing the internal drive that fuels him. The repetition builds momentum, affirming his place in history and his refusal to be silenced.

[Verse 3: Sean Leon]
Sean Leon expands on his artistic and personal journey, calling himself a legend with divine purpose. He plays with religious and metaphysical language—“God flow,” “heaven,” “seven”—to frame his artistry as sacred and transformative. Simultaneously, he admits to obsession, temptation, and flawed relationships, acknowledging human complexity while striving for greatness.

[Outro: Ye & Sean Leon]
The outro blends Ye’s destructive refrain with Sean Leon’s triumphant chorus, creating a layered emotional climax. As Ye insists on burning everything, Sean affirms the enduring impact of his name. The juxtaposition of chaos and legacy underscores the tension between self-destruction and immortality—a central theme of the song.
