Aminé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Old flame callin' so she wanna light the fire
Now I'm super tired
When we get together, room sound like a choir
I'm a true lifer
Pussy make me happy and it make me inspired
Forget to read on my Bible
Go through these cycles, so
I was up in the night
It never was known
I wanted to try
But I wasn't sure
My life was a lie
I filled it with gold
There wasn't a night
Where I wasn't sure
Now pass me the lighter
Old flame callin' so she wanna light the fire
Now I'm super tired
When we get together, room sound like a choir
Yeah, I'm a true lifer
Pussy make me happy and it make me inspired
Forget to read on my Bible
Only God knows why I go through these cycles
I was up in the night
It never was known
I wanted to try
But I wasn't sure
My life was a lie
I filled it with gold
There wasn't a night
Where I wasn't sure
Shit, bitch I'm dripped in gold (woo)
Young lil' nigga with a forty old soul (true)
Pop that trunk if that ass look cold (cold)
Made my money, never sold my soul (ayy)
I'm André's prodigy, can't find a hotter me (no)
If a nigga try to stop me I'ma tell him I'ma eat (ayy)
Comma, comma, comma, commas comin' pretty commonly
If I'm bein' blunt, I really wanna fuck Emily (hey)
Bitch, I'm missin' your call
I don't got time for your problems at all (no)
I'm poppin' it all so she poppin' it off
I turn the other cheek, now she kissin' my jaw
So sick with it, (sick) fuck my critics (yeah)
Smile so hard like I love my dentist (teeth)
I'm that chemist, I serve it to the fiends (yeah)
Quit my 9 to 5, now I'm ninety-five degrees
Destined for my destiny
I sow no hate or jealousy
Niggas feel me like Hennessy
And if it's good for you then it's good for me (true)
Destined in my density
I only show love or empathy
'Cause karma dictates my legacy
And if it's good for you then it's good for me
Dolla always gotta keep it real with ya (true)
Even though you in your feelings
Know we've been goin' through a lot lately
But you know you're still my baby
Aminé always gotta keep it real with ya (true)
'Cause you know that they're hearin' us (yeah)
Caroline, yeah, that's my baby (ayy)
But you know that she drives me crazy
And you love when I kiss it in the mornin'
You know it's real when we kissin' all in public
Now she floorin', two toned foreign (yeah)
Shawty love to tan so she lookin' like she orange
The opening lines of Aminé’s song Veggies are about the singer’s desire to smoke weed to connect with his ex-girlfriend. The reference to a lighter suggests they will smoke a joint. The lyrics “Now I'm super tired, When we get together, room sound like a choir” can be interpreted as Aminé feeling comfortable and relaxed when he is with his ex-girlfriend. The choirs in churches are known for their soothing and uplifting sound. The next line of the song - “I'm a true lifer, Pussy make me happy and it make me inspired” - refers to the fact that Aminé is devoted to his ex-girlfriend and he finds inspiration in their relationship.
The chorus of the song is about Aminé’s struggle with direction and purpose. He emphasizes his confusion about life and his desire to understand the truth. He feels as though his life is not what it should be, but he doesn't know how to make things right. The lyrics “My life was a lie, I filled it with gold” can be interpreted as a reference to Aminé’s use of materialistic things to fill a void he feels. The next line “There wasn't a night, where I wasn't sure” highlights his lack of clarity and inner peace.
The second verse of the song talks about being successful and famous. The lyrics “Shit, bitch I'm dripped in gold, Young lil' nigga with a forty old soul” refer to the fact that Aminé is young but has an old mindset. He is proud of his success but acknowledges that it comes with certain challenges. The lines “Bitch, I'm missing your call, I don't got time for your problems at all” are about the difficulties of balancing personal life with professional life. Aminé acknowledges his limited time and energy and must make difficult choices about who to spend it with.
