Charmander Lyrics
[Intro]
I-I-I've been
Keeping to myself and staying out the way
I've been
Always on my lonely 'cause I can't change
I-I've been
Seeing how they talking, and I'm outraged
I-I've been
Taking care of me, don't need a damn thing
[Chorus]
I've been living on an island too
I-I've been living on an island too
I-I've been living on an island too
I-I've been living on an island too (Yeah)
Tell me, can we—?
[Verse 1]
Shawty suck my dick, then I got lost in the abyss
I'm a quiet motherfucker, but I like to talk my shit
I'm off a shroom, I'm off a bean, I'm off a whole lotta shit
You could bet I'm in my head, but you could bet I'm in your bitch (Baby, can we?—)
Look, these niggas be my sons, without me, they'd be done
Where thе fuck would you get all your mood board pictures from?
That's why I been living on this island with my blunt
Ignoring all thesе niggas 'cause my energy is priceless
[Chorus]
I've been living on an island too
I-I've been living on an island too
I-I've been living on an island too
I-I've been living on an island too
Tell me, can we—?
[Bridge]
I've been keeping to myself and staying out the way
I've been always on my lonely 'cause I can't change
I-I've been seeing how they talking, and I'm outraged
I-I've been taking care of me, don't need a damn thing
(Baby, can we—?)
[Verse 2]
Look, my energy is priceless, told my jeweler, "Ice this"
I'm way too decisive, don't catch that ego-itis
When I'm up in London, everybody say, "Your Highness"
Not because I'm royal, but because I be the highest
Sippin' champagne, bitch, I do my damn thing
Born for this like Matt Dam', red whip look like Chastain
People be so phony, that's why I be on my lonely
People be so phony, that's why I be on my lonely
[Chorus]
I-I-I've been living on an island too
I-I've been living on an island too
I-I've been living on an island too
I-I've been living on an island too
(Baby, can we?)
[Outro]
People be so phony, that's why I be on my lonely
People be so phony, that's why I be on my lonely, lonely
People be so phony, that's why I be on my lonely, lonely, lonely
Sippin' champagne, bitch, I do my damn thing
Born for this like Matt Dam', red whip look like Chastain
Sippin' champagne, bitch, I do my damn thing
Born for this like Matt Dam', red whip look like Chastain

What did Aminé say about "Charmander"?
After the release of Limbo I took some time to experiment and challenge myself to create in ways I hadn’t before—exploring different textures and tempos without any expectations, ‘Charmander’ was the first product of that period that felt natural while still being at a completely different BPM than...
Why is it named "Charmander" in the first place?
We called [the song] “Charmander” simply for the reason of me not knowing what to call the song after I recorded it and Lido asked me, “What’s your favorite Pokémon?” And I said, “The fiery one.” He said, “Charmander?” I said, “Yeah.”
