Minion Lyrics
[Verse 1: CG5]
This sitch is bananas, I don't really like your manners
I live in insanity, I don't think you ever been a fan of me
No, never ever, you keep trying to play director
And I don't wanna cause a scene
Everytime you're outta line, I wanna scream
[Pre-Chorus: CG5]
Oh! So despicable!
Overcritical, you undermine, leave me wondering why
I gave you all these nights, all these lonely nights
All this precious time
[Chorus: CG5]
I ain't gonna be a minion to you
You don't got any dominion, do you?
I won't give another minute to you
You won't be my leader, I ain't gonna be a—
I don't wanna take opinions from you
Every battle that I'm winning, you lose
Spending every other minute confused
I ain't gonna be a— (No) I ain't gonna be a minion!
[Verse 2: Salem Ilese & CG5]
All I hear is gibberish when you tell me what to do (Aha)
Only way to fix it is to turn you down to mute (Aha)
You may think you're a unicorn, but I think that I'm getting bored
We been going back and forth (Going back and forth, ya)
Like a ball around the court, can we end this stop and go?
[Pre-Chorus: Salem Ilese & CG5]
So despicable!
Overcritical, you undermine, leave me wondering why (Yeah)
I gave you all these nights, all these lonely nights
All this precious time
[Chorus: Salem Ilese & CG5]
I ain't gonna be a minion to you
You don't got any dominion, do you?
I won't give another minute to you
You won't be my leader, I ain't gonna be a—
I don't wanna take opinions from you
Every battle that I'm winning, you lose
Spending every other minute confused
I ain't gonna be a— (No) I ain't gonna be a minion!
[Bridge: CG5 & Salem Ilese]
I'm not gonna be your minion, I'm not gonna be yours
(La, la-la) (La, la-la-la)
I'm not gonna be your minion (Hey)
I'm not gonna fall for it, no more
(La, la-la) (La, la-la-la) (Yeah-yeah, ya-ya)
I'm not gonna be your minion, I'm not gonna be yours
(La, la-la) (La, la-la-la) (Hey)
I'm not gonna be your minion, I'm not gonna fall!
(La, la-la) (La, la-la)
[Chorus: Salem Ilese & CG5]
I ain't gonna be a minion to you (Minion!)
You don't got any dominion, do you? (No-no-no)
I won't give another minute to you
You won't be my leader (No), I ain't gonna be a—
I don't wanna take opinions from you
Every battle that I'm winning, you lose (You lose!)
Spending every other minute confused
I ain't gonna be a— (No) I ain't gonna be a minion!
Minion Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics of "Minion" by CG5 featuring Salem Ilese is about standing up against someone who tries to control and manipulate others. The lyrics convey a sense of rebellion and empowerment as the protagonists refuse to be subservient or follow orders blindly. They express frustration and determination to break free from the overbearing influence of someone who undermines and criticizes them constantly. The song’s tone is defiant, emphasizing the importance of self-respect and autonomy.
[Verse 1]
In the first verse, CG5 describes the frustrating situation ("sitch") they are in, dealing with someone who is rude and has poor manners. Living in "insanity" implies that this person’s behavior is driving them crazy. Despite their efforts, it seems like this person has never liked or supported them. The person acts like a director, trying to control everything, which makes CG5 want to scream out of frustration every time the person steps out of line.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus emphasizes the negative traits of this person, calling them "despicable" and "overcritical." Their constant undermining leaves CG5 questioning why they invested so much time and energy into this relationship, highlighting the loneliness and precious time wasted.
[Chorus]

They won’t waste any more time on this person, rejecting their leadership and opinions. The repeated assertion of not being a minion reinforces their stance of independence and resistance.
[Verse 2]
Salem Ilese joins in the second verse, expressing that the controlling person's words are meaningless to her, comparing them to "gibberish." The only solution she sees is to ignore them entirely. She mocks the person's self-perception as a unique "unicorn," indicating that she’s tired of their antics. The back-and-forth conflict feels like an endless game, and she wants it to stop.
[Bridge]
In the bridge, both artists declare that they will no longer be the person's minions. The repetition of "La, la-la" creates a catchy and liberating feel, emphasizing their newfound freedom. They are resolute in their decision not to fall for the person's manipulations any longer.
[Chorus]
The final chorus reiterates the message one last time, making it clear that they are done being controlled and manipulated. The inclusion of both artists singing together shows unity and mutual support in their stance against the manipulative person.
