About This Track

Aminé flexes with unforced confidence over a beat built by Metro Boomin, Murda Beatz, and Frank Dukes. The track pairs him with Nelly on the hook, a partnership that lets both artists settle into the song's central proposition: the pleasure of feeling good about yourself. Aminé moves between boasts and self-aware humour, the whole thing pitched at a register that sounds like fun rather than desperation. The production sits light and bouncy, giving space for Aminé to move around the beat. He's not trying to convince you of anything; he's simply stating a fact about where he is now versus where he was before. Nelly's bridge pulls back slightly, acknowledging the youthful recklessness at the song's heart, before the chorus kicks in again to remind you that feeling yourself is, after all, the point.

"Yellow" is a track by Aminé, from the album Good for You, released 28th July 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Yellow

[Intro: Aminé]

I, yeah, I, hey

Hey-ey, uh

Hey, uh

[Verse 1: Aminé]

I was down, yeah, now I'm better (ayy)

Stuntin' with my dogs like my first name Cruella (ruff)

Black girls love me 'cause a nigga got some feta (true)

And white girls love me like my first name Coachella (woo)

I'm a... kick drum (woo) I go pretty dumb (ayy)

West side nigga, 5-0-tree is where I'm from (true)

Lookin' at my face, you could tell I know my place (I do)

You say, "Amen," I say, "Aminé"

Right after I say my grace

[Chorus: Aminé & Nelly]

I wanna flex, I wanna show off

Humble when I'm blunt, but I gotta go hard

You're damn right, I'm feelin' myself

You know you'd do the same if that was yourself

[Verse 2: Aminé]

I was broke (broke) now I'm stuntin' like my daddy

Flyest under the sea, I'm gettin' Krabby Patties (true)

Dukes gave me juice so this beat feel like it's caffeine

Dreadlock nigga so my hair is pretty nappy (woo)

Boppers give me love (love), I could give a fuck (no)

Young Metro said he trust her so I gave the girl a hug (hey)

Well I got a bag of tricks, I don't do the politics (true, true)

I rock yellow on some yellow like what purple is to Prince

[Chorus: Aminé & Nelly]

I wanna flex, I wanna show off

Humble when I'm blunt, but I gotta go hard

You're damn right, I'm feelin' myself

You know you'd do the same if that was yourself

I wanna flex (woo), I wanna show off (hey)

Humble when I'm blunt, but I gotta go hard (yeah)

You're damn right, I'm feelin' myself (true)

You know you'd do the same if that was yourself

[Bridge: Nelly]

We're all young and reckless

We fight for ourselves, it's true (it's true)

It's good to be selfish (sometimes)

'Cause most times they know they are too (hey)

We're all young and reckless

We fight for ourselves, it's true (it's true)

It's good to be selfish (sometimes)

'Cause most times they know they are too (hey)

[Chorus: Aminé & Nelly]

I wanna flex, I wanna show off

Humble when I'm blunt, but I gotta go hard

You're damn right, I'm feelin' myself

You know you'd do the same if that was yourself

I wanna flex (woo), I wanna show off (hey)

Humble when I'm blunt, but I gotta go hard (yeah)

You're damn right, I'm feelin' myself (true)

You know you'd do the same if that was yourself
