Yellow Lyrics

[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
