From what we can glean from his music, Yung Lean is always high off of one drug or another.

He refers to space to play on the word “high” (high up) – meaning he is super intoxicated, likely on a large scale.

“Ice” is a slang term for (usually expensive) jewellery, that tends to come bedecked in diamonds.
The term is in line with other words relating to style such as “drip” and “wet”.

Yung Lean brags that he is wearing so much jewellery (or ice) that is as cold as it would be in winter weather conditions.

Therefore in this case, another rapper’s style, or lyrics, which may have been repackaged as a new song, or style, can actually often be attributable to earlier rappers. Whether due to having been influenced, and if they are aware of it or not, is another matter entirely.

The most famous playwright from the Elizabethan period is of course, none other than William Shakespeare.

Marvin is suggesting that he paid the lawyer fees for his wife (at the time), Anna Gordy Gaye during their divorce. A likely possibility considering Marvin was the rich hit-making singer and not his wife.

However, Marvin clearly shows both disbelief and criticism at the fees falling under his responsibilities, as noted by his questioning of why he had to pay for his wife’s lawyer (with a loving “my baby” to top the clear love Marvin still held for his then wife).

Marvin clearly doesn’t want to have to undergo the divorce, or if he has to, at least doesn’t want to have to pay for his wife’s petty legal fees.

Anna Gordy (Marvin’s first wife) had promised to stay with him forever and ever.

As seen by their divorce (to which this entire album is a response to), this was not to be. Instead it would ultimately be Anna leaving Marvin, night and day, not loving nor obeying.
