Mariah Carey - 8th Grade

“8th Grade” falls directly in line with the special music Mariah was able to make in the 2000’s: It features a flawless melody, some soulful crooning, sassy lyrics, and a beat that is up-tempo yet smooth. To top things off, you get this brief appearance from Timbaland at the end that solidifies the song’s nostalgic feel.

Lyrics

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I'm not your world
No, I'm not your life
Tell me what that means to you
If it was me that was by your side
Limitless, without no rules
Nothin' to lose
Never no pressure
Just put yourself into my shoes
I'm not your world
No, I'm not your life

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
That cigarette, put it out, put it out
Keep lookin' my way, turn around, turn around
This is a moment you can't buy
I see that longing in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Somethin' is tellin' me you're ready, am I wrong?
Maybe the lyrics are too heavy in my songHow would you feel if you had me, then I was gone?
Better not be leadin' me on

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I'm not your world
No, I'm not your life
Tell me what that means to you
If it was me that was by your side
Limitless, without no rules
Nothin' to lose
Never no pressure
Just put yourself into my shoes
I'm not your world
No, I'm not your life
