Mariah Carey's Shadiest "Infinity" Lyrics

by Alex Kritselis

The wait is finally over: Mariah Carey's new single, "Infinity," is here and it proves once and for all that she's the Queen of Throwing Shade. I'm serious: Mariah Carey's "Infinity" lyrics cast more shade than a mighty Oak (and believe me, I looked it up, and those trees are super shady). Who's the target of Mimi's vicious musical attack? Her ex-husband, Nick Cannon, seems like a safe bet (though we can't say for certain). The "Fantasy" singer hasn't put out a song this scathing since 2009's "Obsessed" (which was rumored to be about rapper Eminem), and frankly, I'm loving it.

Carey has always had a knack for coming up with clever (and often hysterical) turns of phrase, but if you ask me, she's really outdone herself this time. "Infinity" has me cackling like Ursula the sea witch from start to finish! Will it become Carey's next No. 1 hit? No, I don't think so — but as I've said before, commercial success isn't everything. To my ears, "Infinity" is the best single MC's put out since "#Beautiful" in 2013, and that makes me very happy. Hopefully, it's a sign of good things to come.

If you can believe it, Mariah Carey’s shady “Infinity” lyrics become even shadier when paired with Mariah Carey GIFs. It’s truly magical. Check it out below.

1st VERSE:

Why you mad?

Talkin' 'bout you're mad

Could it be that you just lost the best you ever had?

That's your bag

Yup, that's too bad

Show is over, you ain't gotta act

Name hold weight like kilos

Boy, you actin' so corny like Fritos

Wouldn't have none of that without me, though

Ain't none of my business

It's tea, though

Outta ammo, gotta reload

If life was a game, you're a free throw

It's nothing that you don't already know

CHORUS:

Close the door, lose the key

Leave my heart on the mat for me

I was yours eternally

There's an end to infinity

To infinity

2nd VERSE:

How I say this?

Fact that you still exist

No disrespect, no second thought

It truly, truly is

Truthfully, I'm through with this

Why are we still doing this

Answer the phone like, "Who is this?"

Take your head and knock some sense

Je ne comprends pas (I don't understand)

Ain't no compliments

Ain't no being friends

Ain't no false pretense

Ain't no make amends

Ain't no come agains

That's the story, ain't no happy ends

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Is it lack of ice got you so cold?

Have you ever felt this on your own?

Why you tryin' to play like you're so grown?

Everything you own, boy, you still owe

CHORUS

OUTRO:

You're leaving, you're leaving, you're out the door

Infinity loving me more and more

You're leaving, you're leaving, you're out the door

Infinity loving me more and more

'Cause I believe infinity is more than just a made up dream

I believe infinity is more than just a made up dream
