Amen
EARTHGANG & Musiq Soulchild Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, amen (baby, yeah)
A casual and lighthearted expression of agreement or enthusiasm.

I need devotion, I need attention
Desire for emotional and psychological support from a partner.

Someone to do things I cannot mention
Desire for unconventional and perhaps taboo sexual experiences.

Someone to prove to me that you're different
Need for reassurance that the partner is trustworthy and unique.

Someone who got it and someone that gets it
Desire for a partner who is successful and understands the artist's life and values.

Get down on your knees for me
Expression of dominance and sexual desire.

If you really love me, if you really need me
Condition for partner's emotional commitment and reliance on the artist.

If I ever catch a case it's 'cause I clapped a racist
Acknowledgement of violent tendencies towards those who promote hate or bigotry.

Pardon my lateness, I was comin' into my greatness, yeah
Excuse for tardiness related to the artist's increasing success and renown.

Cole World, I'ma heat it up
Reference to the artist J. Cole and his impact on the music industry.

Four, five, six hundred mils, I'ma eat it up
Celebration of financial success and ability to enjoy luxury lifestyles.

Shoutout Dreamville, know it kills you to see us up
Recognition of team or label's success, and acknowledgement of potential jealousy or resentment from competitors.

When I hit the scene, rock more boats than Aaliyah
Celebration of the artist's impact in the music industry and reference to the late singer Aaliyah's song 'Rock the Boat.'

This shit for my people, I ain't got no equal
Dedication of the artist's work to his community and self-confidence in his musical abilities.

We in this for life, you should check the sequel, baby
Commitment to a long-term career in music and potential for future success.

Baby, say a prayer for me, yeah
Request for partner's spiritual support and protection.

Put one in the air for me, yeah
Request for partner's emotional support and celebration of the artist's achievements.

Show me that you care, you'll always be there
Desire for partner's emotional commitment and reliance on the artist.

Promise that you'll never leave
Condition for partner's long-term commitment to the artist.

Hey, man, all these hoes really for the streets
Opinion on other women's lifestyles and sexual promiscuity.

I ain't judgin', baby, ain't got shot to do with me (no, it don't)
Non-judgmental attitude towards others' behaviors, while distancing oneself from those actions.

And I know I'm a dog, it ain't too much that I can say
Acknowledgment of past infidelities and questionable behavior.

But don't be judgin' me, girl, if you ever fucked for free (huh)
Request for forgiveness and understanding, while suggesting hypocrisy or unfair judgment from the partner.

So when you tryna link? Girl, I need you too
Expression of desire and need for the partner on a physical and emotional level.

Gon' throw it back and buss it open like you 'posed to
Request for enthusiastic and satisfying sexual behavior from the partner.

Arch your back and take it like I owe you
Expression of dominance and entitlement during sex.

You ain't never seen a nigga like me, nothin' close to
Self-confidence in the artist's sexual prowess and uniqueness.

Bitch, I'm like the slums with a Whole Foods
Metaphor comparing the artist's rough background with his current wealth and success.

Tryna get to know you
Expression of curiosity and interest in the partner on a deeper level.

Let it out, baby, scream for me
Request for enthusiastic and vocal sexual behavior from the partner.

It's how you jump to put on jeans for me (damn)
Appreciation of the partner's eagerness to please and physical attractiveness.

Prince Hakeem, that's my queen to be (oowee)
Reference to the film Coming to America and expression of admiration towards the partner as a potential queen or royalty.

And she finna fuck me like she really love me, yeah
Hope for the partner's emotional connection during sexual activity.

I'm 'bout to put a ring on, what you mad at me for?
Expression of commitment to the partner and confusion about any perceived negative reactions.

I ain't tryna pressure you, but who better than me?
Expression of superiority as a potential partner and attempt to persuade the partner to commit.

But you be in the club lookin' 'round on the detour
Observation of the partner's potentially flirtatious behavior in social situations.

And you know I'm the only one you call when you need more, so (so)
Belief in the artist's exclusive and irreplaceable role in the partner's life.

If you really love me, if you really need me, ay
Condition for partner's emotional commitment and reliance on the artist.
