Burial ft. Pusha T
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.

LOL all those kids saying "I miss the old Skrillex"...
first: Skrillex is a musician, not a one-genre maker. He makes whatever he wants to make. He is not a machine programmed to make one particular style.
second: if you miss "the old Skrillex", then go listen to his old songs... yep, it's that simple.
third: for your information, Sonny's first tracks under the alias "Skrillex" were Electro House mostly. So technically, if he had to make "his old style" again, it should be Electro, and not Dubstep.

Enjoy this piece of art. If you like it, spread positive vibes. If you don't like it, move on and search for other artists doing what you want to hear in this moment. No need to hate/reclaim/order an artist to do what YOU want. That's the most stupid thing ever.

Have a good day!

Oh, and btw, such a great video and song Skrill, Yogi, TrollPhace, etc. ♥
