Lyrics

I got a backlog of drama

I have a history of unresolved conflicts and problems.

That won't let me breathe

The intensity of my troubles is suffocating.

I got a catalogue of answers

I possess a collection of explanations that may be hard to accept.

That you just won't believe

Your disbelief is expected when you hear my answers.

I got a million other problems

I face numerous challenges, making me exclaim in shock.

Thinking "Oh my God"

I am overwhelmed by problems, thinking about them intensely.

The grapevine packs a punch

Rumors and gossip can be potent and harmful.

Has a real mean streak

Gossip has a harsh and malicious nature.

I got an underlying demon that

I have an inner struggle or issue that is best left unexplored.

You don't wanna meet

This inner struggle is something you would rather avoid.

So if you're trying to dig it up

If you intend to uncover my issues, I'd prefer you not to.

I think I'd rather not

Some things are better left buried or undiscovered.


I'm trying to paint a pretty

I am attempting to present a positive image to everyone.

Picture in front of everyone

This attempt at positivity is not enjoyable.

But it ain't so fun

Despite efforts, the situation is not as pleasant as it seems.

'Cos with one mad rush

A sudden rush of negativity can ruin my efforts.

Yeah they'll take my brush

Others will ensure that my efforts are destroyed.

And make God damn sure that the colours run

There will be a deliberate attempt to tarnish my reputation.

This gossip storm is spiralling

Gossip is escalating and becoming more intense.

These crooked tongues are bleeding out

False and harmful statements are spreading widely.

No doubt

No doubt that the situation is serious and damaging.


I don't bite too hard

I may not be overly aggressive, but I will retaliate with sarcasm.

But I'll send you some kind regards

Offering insincere well-wishes as you leave.

As you turn your back

You are turning away, and I am dismissing you with sarcasm.

And take your sorry ass back home

Leaving and taking your problems with you.


I never said I was as good as gold

I never claimed to be perfect; my reputation is under pressure.

My reputation's in a stranglehold

I am facing criticism and judgment for my actions.

My record ain't the cleanest

My past behavior is not spotless, and neither is yours.

And yours ain't either

Both of us have questionable histories.

There's nothing dodgy about me

There is nothing suspicious about me; it's all a conspiracy.

It's all conspiracy

Claims about me are unfounded and part of a conspiracy.


'Cos I don't care what your preference is

I am indifferent to your preferences and opinions.

To all the dirty references or

References to questionable actions or behaviors don't bother me.

If you should have known

I don't care if you were aware or not.

No I don't care what your best friend says

I am not concerned about the opinions of your friends.

She's a mess these days

A person you mention is currently struggling; keep them away from me.

So just leave that kid at home

Suggesting that someone should stay away from a problematic situation.

Word on the street says I'm bad to the bone

The general perception is that I have a rebellious and tough nature.
