"Imported" lyrics

"Imported"
(feat. JRM)

[Jessie Reyez:]
Hi, my name is Doesn't Matter
I like making bad decisions
Let's wake up like nothing happened
If we do it, say we didn't
If your friends ask if you hit it
You can tell 'em, I'll admit it
I wear that shit like a badge
'Cause I know that I got that kitty

You, you're in love with somebody else
Maybe I could offer some help
Get over them by getting under me
But you might OD if you get too much of me
OD if you get too much of me
OD if you get too much of me, yuh

Hi, my name is not important
I'm not from here, I'm imported
I drink liquor like it's water
Hope my liver can afford it
I've been lying here with...
I've been lying here, I'll be lying here
I'm under the covers
Like what happened here ain't nothing sacred
Shit that got me fucked up is
I know that dude just saw me naked
Nursing a broken heart
But who'd've a thought it'd take me ages?
I ended up here 'cause my girls said
"Fake it 'til you make it"

You, you're in love with somebody else
Maybe I could offer some help
Get over them by getting under me

[JRM:]
Hi, my name is not important
I'm not from here, I'm imported
I drink liquor like it's water
Hope my liver can afford it
Marvin type of healing
Got you all up in your feelings
Staring at the ceiling
Like, "I hope he still here in the morning"
You under the covers
Like what happened here ain't nothing sacred
I can tell you fucked up over
Someone else you can't replace, and
You finally realized
That broken love just ain't worth saving
You tryna lick the wounds
But someone's not reciprocatin'

[JRM (with Jessie Reyez):]
You, you're in love with somebody else
(You're in love with somebody else)
Well, maybe I could offer some help
(Maybe I could offer some help)
Get over them by getting under me
But you might OD if you get too much of me
OD if you get too much of me, uh
Get over him by getting under me
But you might OD if you get too much of me

[Jessie Reyez & JRM:]
'Cause you're in love with somebody else
Well, maybe I could offer some help
Get over them by getting under me
But you might OD if you get too much of me
Might OD if you get too much of me
Get over him by getting under me
But you might OD if you get too much of me

[Jessie Reyez:]
OD if you get too much of me
I'd OD if you get too much of me
OD if you get too much of me

"Imported" premiered as a World Record on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 Radio show on the 13th of April 2019.
Jessie Reyez explained the idea behind this song to MTV.com by saying, "We wanted it to be this surreal feeling; the concept of someone being out of your life but they're still stuck in your head. Someone can be miles away, but if they're in your heart that means they're locked in your head, too. No matter how much you try to get away from somebody, they're there."
The video for this song was announced by Jessie Reyez on Twitter on the 10th of April 2019 with the message "It's 8:15am in the morning where I'm at and I'm awake. Why? 'Cause I got the video for 'Imported' with @6LACK dropping in 45 minutes".
