MUMBO JUMBO Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
All damn night, been awake, aw yeah (No, yeah)
Run away, baby ain't my love (True, uh)
Hoping I wouldn't wait on ya (It's true)
Anything you say is on you (They know, uh)
Hoping I run away from love (True, uh)
Hoping I, I ride, aw yeah (I do)
Run away baby, can't find 'em (I know)
Hoping I don't want— wait what? (Oh)
[Refrain]
I hold my head up high and I wave real low
I lift my hands, no lie, and run away, I know
And when I wave goodbye, they all wave hello
And when I wave goodbye, they all wave hello
[Verse]
I do my thing, met your man, Mr. Barrio
I do my thing, met your man, Mr. Barrio
I do my thing, met your man, then I bleed real slow
I do my thing, watch me man, watch me better than you (Oh)
[Chorus]
All damn night, been awake, aw yeah (No, yeah)
Run away, baby ain't my love (True, uh)
Hoping I wouldn't wait on ya (It's true)
Anything you say is on you (They know, uh)
Hoping I run away from love (True)
Hoping I, I ride, aw yeah (I do)
Run away baby, can't find 'em (We know)
Hoping I don't want— wait what? (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Refrain]
I hold my head up high and I wave real low
I lift my hands, no lie, and run away, I know
And when I wave goodbye, they all wave hello
And when I wave goodbye, they all wave hello

What inspired you to not use real lyrics?
So, basically, what happened was, we were just chilling. My process is just like I hear the beat, and while the beat is still being created, I’m just walking around pacing back and forth mumbling stuff, just trying to figure out something that really sticks. So, a melody, I’m looking for a melody th...
What was the songwriting process like?
Me and Kinique were on SoundClick looking for beats, and we found that cool-ass beat, Mumbo Jumbo. And we just recorded to it and it became fire. I laid down the melody and it felt so good just how it was. That’s how this generation is too. I mean, I feel like it was always like that for like, the w...
