Lyrics

"There's nothing going on here

There's a lack of activity or excitement here.

And you are violating my rights, sweetheart

Feeling that personal rights are being violated, addressed affectionately.

Now, tell me that I'm fucking wrong

Challenging someone to prove them wrong.

You can't! Cause I'm not wrong

Asserting confidence in being correct and unapologetic.

You're violating my rights

Reiterating the feeling of rights being violated.

Shut up! Shut your mouth!

Instructing someone to be quiet and stop talking.

You must be crazy

Expressing disbelief or questioning someone's sanity.

Coming up in here talking 'bout you heard something

Responding to someone who claims to have heard something.

You heard me talking

Defending the act of talking loudly and aggressively.

I talk loud and I'm aggressive

Highlighting a bold and assertive communication style.

And guess what? You did not knock on my door"

Asserting the lack of a door knock as a breach of privacy.


Lately I've had plaster on my mind

Reflecting on the presence of plaster in thoughts.

County ain't on shit, they got bodies on the line

Criticizing the authorities for not addressing real issues.

Lately I've been analyzing time

Contemplating and scrutinizing the concept of time.

Y'all been dodging cameras like they bullets over crime

Observing avoidance of surveillance as if avoiding danger.

Lately all my rations turned to wine

Connecting the consumption of alcohol to trauma.

Throwing back them bottles 'til our traumas all align

Drinking to align or cope with collective traumas.

Lately I've been coughing up the rhymes

Expressing lyrical creativity and defiance.

Throwing middle fingers like they hopping number nine

Using middle fingers rebelliously like a rebellious gesture.


Bitch, I never said it

Repetition emphasizing denial of making certain statements, warning against betrayal, and maintaining secrecy.

Nah, I never said it

-

Nah, I never, nah, I never said it

-

Snitch, and you'll regret it

-

Switching up the setting

-

Stitch upon your lips I know you read it

-

Bitch I never said it

-

No, I never said it

-

No, I never, no, I never said it

-

Snitch, and you'll regret it

-

Switching up the setting

-

Stitch upon my lips, you never read it

-

Ghost in a shell, put your penny in a well

Metaphorical portrayal of oneself as a ghost in a shell, dealing with internal struggles and pain.

Iron out my organs, 'til my body starts to swell

-

Ghost in a shell, put your pain into the well

-

Iron out your organs, 'til your body starts to swell

-

Catch me in the morning, I be seething

-

Meter run on feeling

-

Fawning on them folk, I know they feigning

-

Funny you ain't seen it

-

Look across the porch, it's almost scenic

-

Fiber on my chest, it's orthopedic

-

Bitch, I never said it

Continued repetition of denial, cautioning against betrayal, and emphasizing silence.

Nah, I never said it

-

Nah, I never, nah, I never said it

-

Snitch, you might regret it

-

Switching up the setting

-

Stitch upon your lips you know I read it

-

Bitch, I never said it

-

No, I never said it

-

No, I never, no, I never said it

-

Snitch, and you'll regret it

-

Switching up the setting

-

Stitch upon my lips, you never read it

-

"I know my rights

Asserting awareness and confidence in personal rights.

They cannot walk in my home

Claiming the right to privacy in one's own home.

'Cause if this door was closed, they would've had to knock

Emphasizing the need for proper etiquette, expecting a respectful approach.

Don't ever do that again, thank you"

Requesting that a certain action not be repeated, expressing gratitude for compliance.
