Amaarae - LEAVE ME ALONE (Official Audio)

Details

Description

Leave Me Alone‘s dancehall-inflected riddim is pure West African vibes, replete with lush and overarching guitar licks that draw abundantly from the highlife and Afrobeat tradition. Lyrically, “Leave me Alone” is about learning how to protect one's peace irrespective of underlying circumstances. "Talking, Talking, Talk, but talk is cheap– me nuh need favor from no one but God, plus I’ve got me." Amaarae sings, her voice a re-assuring fix that sashays gently atop the Stalag riddim-sounding drum bop.

LYRICS.
[Verse]
Talking, Talking
Talk is cheap
Me nuh need favor from no one but God
Plus I’ve got me

Talking, Talking
All the time
What else have you done
For your niggas out the mud
And your people’s outside

[Pre-Hook]
Too much energy being wasted
Too much time
Too many enemies form friendship
Flooding my lines up
You’re fucking up my mental space, man
You’re blowing my high
Too much energy being wasted
On business not mine

[Hook]
All the diamonds in the world don’t outshine me
Every blessing’s got a foe, so I don't sleep

I want to be alone
I want you to just leave me alone
I want to be alone
Why don’t you just leave me alone

[Verse]
I’m tryna love you like a gangsta
Praying all my prayers till their answered
On my knees, and they still bleeding
Freeing enemies till they hands up
Asking God please
Asking God please
Why me?
Why me (ee) (ee)
Why me?

[Pre-Hook]
Too much energy being wasted
Too much time
Too many enemies form friendship
Flooding my lines up
You’re fucking up my mental space, man
You’re blowing my high
Too much energy being wasted
On business not mine

[Hook]
All the diamonds in the world don’t outshine me
Every blessing’s got a foe, so I don't sleep

I want to be alone
I want you to just leave me alone
I want to be alone
Why don't you just leave me alone
