Burial
Yogi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled

Hold up, this the game, it chose us
Pioneer, started on my corner like the cold crush
Had smokers linin' up the block like a gold rush
The sayin' "life fast and die young" is what they told us
The way that they mold us, perfect way that showed us
How to get money, fuck bitches off this nose dust
Showed me how to burn the block down before it slows up
Before the window of opportunity close up

I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
Yogi said get em so I got 'em all (Yuugh!)
And turned this bitch into a burial

I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
Yogi said get em so I got 'em all (Yuugh!)
And turned this bitch into a burial

Lookin' from the top floor, what would I stop for?
Still hear the crowd cheers, while I'm thinkin' encore
Flyin' on a Concorde, listening to Tom Ford
Frames match the song title, flyer than a Condor
Little niggas rhyme poor, poverty flows in ya
Part of beatin' hoes in, I am who you're tryin' for?
I think not - Pusha, stay hot
The coupe's got no roofs, forever they stay drop nigga

I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
Yogi said get em so I got 'em all (Yuugh!)
And turned this bitch into a burial

I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
Yogi said get em so I got 'em all (Yuugh!)
And turned this bitch into a burial

I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
Yogi said get em so I got 'em all (Yuugh!)
And turned this bitch into a burial

I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled
I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled




Yogi said get em so I got 'em all (Yuugh!)
And turned this bitch into a burial

Overall Meaning

In Yogi's song "Burial," featuring Pusha T, the lyrics focus on the idea of success and power. The repetition of the line, "I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled," emphasizes the idea of dominance and victory, and the use of "I balled" adds a layer of luxury and extravagance, indicating that the singer has not only succeeded but has done so in a grand and lavish way.


The rest of the lyrics touch on the singer's beginnings and how they paved their way to success. The line "started on my corner like the cold crush" refers to the singer's beginnings on a street corner, similar to the famous hip-hop group Cold Crush Brothers. The line "Had smokers linin' up the block like a gold rush" suggests that the singer sold drugs to make money, and they gained an understanding of how to make money and party through a drug-fueled lifestyle. At the same time, the lyrics acknowledge the danger of this lifestyle, with the line "The sayin' 'life fast and die young' is what they told us."


Overall, the song is an ode to the idea of winning and being on top, with a nod to hip-hop's roots in the underground lifestyle. It suggests that success is the ultimate goal and is worth any risk or sacrifice.

Love that Pusha T is finally getting mainstream recognition in today's generation. Was a clipse fanboy and kinda routed for him to blow-up when he signed to good music. Just happy that he has features with famous DJ's and producers.
