“The Wock to Poland”: the meaning of Lil Yachty song

Poland is a song released by Lil Yachty in October 2022. The song went immediately viral on TikTok: although it’s quite a short song, people immediately wondered what the meaning of the song was. That repeated line, “I took the Wock to Poland,” triggered people’s curiosity because it’s an expression that not everybody knows. In this article, we will explain what it is about.

You can find the official video of the song below:

I took the Wock to Poland: what’s the meaning of the lyrics?

“Wock” refers to Wockhardt, a pharmaceutical Indian company famous for a strong cough syrup containing promethazine and codeine. This cough syrup is the main ingredient of lean, an illegal drink that causes addiction. Therefore, when Lil Yachty refers to Wock, he means lean, as the song’s lyrics confirm:

I been leaning, baby girl, I been leaning (Wock’)
Phew, phew, phew (Wock’)
Phone still ringing, battling all my demons

And if, on the one hand, the meaning of “wock” is clear, nobody knows why Lil Yachty took it just to Poland: the choice of that specific European country has no explanation so far. Based on the dates on Bandsintown, the last time Lil Yachty was in Europe for a concert was in 2021, and it was in the UK.
