Amine - Limbo Album Lyrics

---

Burden

This is, this is that shit that you like
How you wanna say this right?
This is, this is like some shit you go and pick your
Your homie from jail with

Look
Uh, uh-oh (yeah, I like that), yeah
Uh, uh-oh (yup)
Bury me before I'm a burden
Don't bury me 'til niggas is certain
I'm singin', singin'
Uh, uh-oh (yeah)
Uh, uh-oh
Bury me before I'm a burden
Don't bury me 'til niggas is certain (yeah)

When your skin darker, shit gets harder (true)
This a black album, like Shawn Carter
Screamin' like I'm week old (yeah)
Moshin' like I'm Steve-O (yeah)
Niggas dodgin' bullets that we jammin' off of pico
At the barbershop, I got the bald fade
That was before the chubby niggas had the Balmain
You know Giuseppe-ass niggas with the Louis shades
Type to call a girl a bitch if she don't give 'em play (yeah)
At sixteen I was survivin' off of noodle cups (damn)
Shit is legal now the dealers know the jig is up
When it's us, niggas gettin' years maybe ten and up
Soccer moms do the same but government don't give a f*ck (true)
You know I'm hailin' from that Rip City, get busy
If I die, roll out the yellow carpet if you f*ck with me
Yellow roses in the sky (yeah)
Pastor rock a yellow tie, choir make my mama cry
Yellow suit, yeah, I'm fly
Coldplay playin' Yellow live

Uh, uh-oh (goddamn, we gotta make it better), yeah
Uh, uh-oh (if they things don't change)
Bury me before I'm a burden (they stay the same)
Don't bury me 'til niggas is certain
I'm singin', singin' (this shit is so hard)
Uh, uh-oh (we gotta make it better)
Uh, uh-oh (if things don't change)
Bury me before I'm a burden (they stay the same)
Don't bury me 'til niggas is certain (okay)

Man, I'd rather die before I give up
Keep my f*cking foot on their necks and never let up
"Mark my words" my nigga Mark used to say that (yeah)
That was way before my nigga Yos had the wave cap (yeah)
And to top it all my best friend had a baby (woo)
We twenty-five, I told that nigga, boy, you f*ckin' crazy
Maybe I'm the one who really need the Lord to save me
The last time I went to church was in the f*ckin' eighties (yeah)
Can you believe that?
I was born in 94' (woo)
Can you believe that?
Your favorite rapper's doin' blow
Can you believe that?
Wide awake, but comatose
Hollywood's in overdose
Girls send innuendos
I'm in limbo but I know the ropes
And it's really hard to cope with a
Pilot Jones, when the love is lost, like I'm Coppola
Translatin' losses before Twitter go and soak it up
Beats so cold they made Amine wanna open up

Uh, uh-oh (we gotta make it better), yeah
Uh, uh-oh (if they things don't change)
Bury me before I'm a burden (they stay the same)
Don't bury me 'til niggas is certain
I'm singin', singin'
Uh, uh-oh (yeah, I like that)
(We gotta make it better), yeah
Uh, uh-oh (if things don't change, oh things need change)
Bury me before I'm a burden (they stay the same)
Don't bury me 'til niggas is certain (they stay the same, oh)
(Say what?)

Blessings (blessings)
Blessings (blessings)
Blessings (blessings)
Blessings (blessings)
Time's of the essence, I'm tryna get on S's
Man I don't take suggestions
God gave me them

Blessings (blessings)
Blessings (blessings)
Blessings (blessings)
Blessings (blessings)
Time's of the essence
God gave me them

Roots

You say you heard a lot about me, nigga, f*ck what you heard
It's all fun and games 'til it happens like a Based God curse
Yeah, cell keep tickin' on me like I'm 6-1-7, yeah
My cousin Steez Stizz like he's 6-1-7, okay
Devil on my shoulder, marijuana from Boulder
You know my niggas in this muthaf*ckin' bitch
If bein' ugly was pretty I'd be the shit
Never been nowhere, but these niggas they love to trip
Eritrea, Ethiopia, Habesha utopia
Bitches gettin' cold, then niggas grab your Patagonias
So I toby acquired her, I had to get a baby who could make me get wired up
You know I'm about that action, my nigga Marc could get it crackin'
Open up your soul and take your body like, "What's happenin'?"
I'm not a succulent or sucker, baby girl
These roots made me, I bring my flowers to the world (yeah)

It's on me
Wear my flaws like ice keep my soul in sight
The sun is on me
And my stems don't bite if the light shines bright
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no)
It's rainin' on me
My guilt weigh heavy, it cost me a life
I got my own seeds (yeah)
They rip my petals to my 6, 'cause my roots won't die

(Check this out)
Like humans and animals
plants need both water and nutrients to survive, food
Most all plants use water to carry moisture
Nutrients back and forth between the roots and leaves, bitch

Searchin' for my shelter through the storm
I find peace, my safe haven, keepin' me far away from harm
Nevertheless the greener grass is proof the roots are strong
But now we standin' here divided, choose the side where you belong
Mama keep the lights on (yeah)
All I see is red so we awake the dead
She likes my third eye, she loves my third leg
This my third time around the worldwide, winds
Give me the Versay, Versace, Benz, put work in
Made my words work with pens
Scribblin' sins, I drop gems
I don't got tick tock time for them, seeds or stems
Evil men plottin', we see you 'cause we watchin'
We see you, believe me you, we see you (Mr. Root)
Get your ass up out that grass and stretch your limbs
Photosynthesis, I see the future picture, take a glimpse
Everything you tryna have is in your grab, so get a grip (Mr. Root)
It's for the kids, (Mr. Root) yo what it is? (Uh, yeah)

It's on me
Wear my flaws like ice keep my soul in sight
The sun is on me
And my stems don't bite if the light shines bright
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no)
It's rainin' on me
My guilt weigh heavy, it cost me a life
I got my own seeds (yeah)
They rip my petals to my 6, 'cause my roots won't die

(What the f*ck?)
Holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy (let me grow)
Holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy

Holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy (let me grow)
Holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy

Holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy (let me grow)
Holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy

Holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy (let me grow)
Holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy (let me grow)

Let me grow (let me grow)

Can't Decide

(Yo T-Minus)

I can't decide if it's you or I, baby
When we be high, all I know is you saved me
Love ain't, what I, thought I would have found, baby
Lost track of time, but I've made up my mind, baby

Tell me what the f*ck I'm supposed to do
You say you love me, but you don't give a clue
I could give a f*ck about your past and your nigga in fact
I put your ex in the garbage and put a bitch on the map
I'm singing, I got imperfections I don't like (true)
You chase rumors hating the advice (hey)
I could give a f*ck about them lies (yeah)
Cross me once, I'm cutting like all ties

It goes one, two
Three, four minutes in the pool
Then it go five, six
A couple strokes with them butterfly hips (what else?)
Then it go seven, eight
F*ck a towel 'cause a nigga can't wait
I'm going nine, ten
We both know we was never just friends (yeah)

I can't decide if it's you or I, baby
When we be high, all I know is you saved me
Love ain't, what I, thought I would have found, baby
Lost track of time, but I've made up my mind, baby

Listen lil' mommy, you trippin' wallahi
We fuss and we fight, then we f*ck the next mornin'
Get head in Ferrari, we petty and horny
I tell her I want it, I want it, I want it
I'm gone, off the meds
I'm the one you call Aminé with the dreads
She want a big dick nigga with the bread
Oh, pussy fire had a young nigga dead (yeah)

It goes one, two
Three, four minutes in the pool
Then it go five, six
A couple strokes with them butterfly hips (oh yeah)
Then it go seven, eight
F*ck a towel 'cause a nigga can't wait
I'm going nine, ten
We both know we was never just friends (yeah)

I can't decide if it's you or I, baby
When we be high, all I know is you saved me
Love ain't, what I, thought I would have found, baby
Lost track of time, but I've made up my mind, baby

Didn't wanna tell, 'cause I know that you be worryin' (yeah)
You told me, "Go back to college", but I went back to Cali (woo)
Had to celebrate a couple birthdays without me (yeah)
Whooped my ass, so I had to learn the harder way (goddamn)
Bad lil nigga, of course I was 'bout to get (yeah)
Would never tell you one lie, okay, maybe one lie (woo)
You my favorite person, let's go 'head and make the song cry

And it's you that I'm missin'
Every time I needed someone, you would listen
I'ma write you a song to put on everyday
So the times that I'm gone, you can smile when it plays

You my idol and the one that I need (yeah)
Best cook, best looks, you supported my dreams
Look, I'm thankful to be your son, it's my honor
Tonight I wanna quote Tupac, "Dear mama"

Mama (uh-huh)
Mama (yeah)
I'm singin' mama
Aww-yeah, yeah, that's my mama (uh)
I said, mama
I do this shit for my mama
Can't lie to my mama
I gotta cry for my mama, my mama

Mama
Mama
Mama
Mama
Mama (I do this shit for my)
Mama (can't lie to my)
Mama (I gotta cry for my)
Mama, my mama

'Cause you're the only woman in my life
Who makes me smile, you make me smile
'Cause you're the only woman in my life
Who makes me smile, you make me

Becky

Mama said, "Don't ever bring a white girl home to me"
Papa said, "Niggas catchin' cases every week"
"So you best stay on your feet"
Crazy (crazy)
You can't seem to find light
Face me (face me)
And I just don't know why
Clingy (clingy)
She's blind and doesn't understand the feeling
So I've had enough

I'm fed up with them all, I'm fed up with my dawgs
I'm fed up with the looks that we get in restaurants
And no it's not a law, but you know we ain't the same
I'm fed up with the world that I know I can't change
I'm fed up with your fam, you're fed up with my fam
We try and tell 'em but they try and tell us that we can't
And no it's not a law, but you know we ain't the same
I'm fed up with the world that I know I can't change

Now I'm fighting the ways and enlightening you
And your friends, clinch their purse
Lock their doors, when I'm around
And we both know why that sucks
And your parents, your parents
They don't know about me
I say let's leave town
But I feel like I been shot down, and I'm tired
So this ain't worth the risk (yeah)

I'm fed up with them all, I'm fed up with my dawgs
I'm fed up with the looks that we get in restaurants
And no it's not a law, but you know we ain't the same
I'm fed up with the world that I know I can't change
I'm fed up with your fam, you're fed up with my fam
We try and tell 'em but they try and tell us that we can't
And no it's not a law, but you know we ain't the same
I'm fed up with the world that I know I can't change

Mama said, "Don't ever bring a white girl home to me"
Papa said, "Niggas catchin' cases every week"
"So you best stay on your feet"
Crazy (crazy)
You can't seem to find light
Face me (face me)
And I just don't know why
Clingy (clingy)
She's blind and doesn't understand the feeling (feeling)
So I've had enough

La-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la, la
La-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la, la
La-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la, la
La-la, la-la, la
La-la, la, la

Fetus

Yeah (woo)
Yeah yeah
Uh, uh

Workin' dead end jobs 'til my girl off
Me and my baby broke, so we don't know what condoms are
The change my Mama gave me clinkin' like they Dorothy dog
I hope my seed don't inherit my Dad's cholesterol
I'm protective 'cause this world has got an evil will
They givin' guns with every muthaf*ckin' happy meal
A shooter every month and they pretend it's daffodils
My son'll probably see that fire before a fire drill
We fell in love and lit a flame before the Tinder came
Back when T.I. "Bring 'Em Out" and 50 f*cked with Game
We was a unit somethin' special life was super bliss
You shook your iced coffees like they was Shakira hips, ya dig

I-i-i want it
But she-she-she call it
She want to get on it
I tell her I'm on one
Said we could have a baby, baby girl
But what kinda nigga am I if I bring 'em in this world?
I-i-i want it
But she-she-she call it
She want to get on it
I tell her I'm on one
Said we could have a baby, baby girl
But what kinda nigga am I if I bring 'em in this world?

To my future daughter or son
The streams from this album gon' pay for your college funds (Limbo)
The circle of life could make a man feel like the one
Just know that you on purpose, it's never just hit and run, look

She said she might've missed her period
But my mind is somewhere else and I'm in 6th period
You know, seventeen and delirious
Thinkin' we independent on that scared of our parents shit
See plan b really gotta be Plan B
Shit maybe C, D, E this is my damn seed, yeah
We paid cash rip up the damn receipt
'Cause mama got my account, that shit she can't see
Either time's flyin' or my mind is playin' tricks
Can't believe my baby girl's already turnin' six
Pray you nothin' like your daddy, stay away from drugs
Hope I can be half the father that my Mama was (yeah)

I hope I can be half the father that the Mamba was
But now I'm kinda stuck, 'cause what I'm chasin' is so possessed
'Cause Adam too tough, yeah, Adam talkin' college funds
Shit, and I don't know if I'll have enough
'Cause man this game is inconsistent, yeah, ain't nothin' promised
And a bi-weekly paycheck sound perfect for my wallet
At what point ya hang the gloves up and put ya towel on
Yeah, have I been wrong? Yeah, yeah

I-i-i want it
But she-she-she call it
She want to get on it
I tell her I'm on one
Said we could have a baby, baby girl
But what kinda nigga am I if I bring 'em in this world?
I-i-i want it
But she-she-she call it
She want to get on it
I tell her I'm on one
Said we could have a baby, baby girl
But what kinda nigga am I if I bring 'em in this world?

I think that we are so used to life not bein' valued
That we think wastin' it on kindness is a bad idea
You should be gettin' money, you should be f*ckin' hoes
You should drive fast cars, and then you realize, that you
Sometimes you get those things
And now you're just a nigga with those things
'Cause it's like, well, what's next? And it's like, well
I never tried a grape fruit by itself
And now you're just a nigga peelin', like eatin' a grapefruit
And you're like this is nice with sugar in it and you're like
why is this nicer than my Ferrari?

My Reality

My reality
Is my fantasy
I know I'm so gone
I know I'm so gone
Is my fantasy
When there's nothing wrong
My problems are gone

Ahem, can I feel myself?
Used to need a hand-out now I need no help
Niggas that I looked up to is gettin' shook up too
And nigga, you don't know how weird that felt
Look, I went from skippin' class to makin' a classic
I'm steppin' over niggas and I'm skippin' the practice
A.i. When it come to the checks
I'm like, "Taxes? Taxes? Taxes?"
I always did what the f*ck I wanted
And now girls scream like my shows are haunted
Livin' out the words that I used to say
We all dream but to live this way

Is my fantasy
(And my fantasy's lookin' like it's reality)
When there's nothing wrong (God gave me the audacity)
My problems are gone (that's why these niggas prolly mad at me)

Is my fantasy
(And my fantasy's lookin' like it's reality)
When there's nothing wrong (God gave me the audacity)
My problems are gone (now I smile, 'cause it's reality)

Fantasy's, boy, I just can't believe
Yeah, we all got dreams (I know I'm so gone)
Hoping for reality (I know I'm so gone)
You know I can't make it (hey)
You know I can't lie to you
You know I can't fake it
You know I can't lie to you

Yeah, so as I (skrrt) in my brand new Range
The grapefruit fills a void I can't explain
They be like, "Whoa, what's that my nigga?"
I be like, "That's a banana link chain"
As I sit here, stare at my things
The glass half full from the joy that they bring
Livin' out the words that I used to say
We all dream but to live this way

Is my fantasy
(And my fantasy's lookin' like it's reality)
When there's nothing wrong (God gave me the audacity)
My problems are gone (that's why these niggas prolly mad at me)

Is my fantasy
(And my fantasy's lookin' like it's reality)
When there's nothing wrong (God gave me the audacity)
My problems are gone (now I smile, 'cause it's reality)

Who woulda thought we'd live where the sun sets?
Livin' a dream that still isn't done yet (I know I'm so gone)
I'm livin' out my fantasy (I know I'm so gone)
Don't know if the globe can handle me
I'm with my dawgs, we stay gettin' money
I gotta say this shit isn't funny (I know I'm so gone)
We livin' out our fantasies (I know I'm so gone)
Don't know if the globe can handle we (my reality)

Who woulda thought we'd live where the sun sets?
Livin' a dream that still isn't done yet
I'm livin' out my fantasy
Don't know if the globe can handle me
I'm with my dawgs, we stay gettin' money
I gotta say this shit isn't funny
We livin' out our fantasies
Don't know if the globe can handle we
