Another self-penned empowerment anthem by yours truly. Based on real life, with a universal message.
lyrics
[Intro] (spoken):
If you've ever been in a toxic friendship,
this song is for you.
Know your worth, honey.
[Verse 1]:
I been down I been down I been so far down
Now I call the shots
I been here I’ve been there I’ve been everywhere, but what I’m not
You been callin’ private
I ain’t pickin’ up
no way,
No way
If I do it’ll be a soundboard
Baby that’s the troll in me,
In me
I’ve had about enough
I’m callin’ your bluff
Ain’t nothin' you can offer me now
The boy you knew is dead
I Taylor Swifted him
Go find someone else to bring down
[Chorus]:
Play with me at your own risk
By now you know I’m not to be toyed with
don’t care if it’s mood swings or not
don’t care what problem you got
don’t need that mess in my life
just get your shit and get out
Get out, get out, get out,
Get out, get out, get out,
can I get a witness tonight?
[Verse 2]:
Crocodile tears,
you prima donna queen,
unaware you cut me like a knife.
Girl I just can’t help but laugh
when you beat your chest
and act like I’ve just ruined your life
feelin’ so betrayed now
my frequency’s gone way down
Matter fact I think it’s the third time
Don’t know what you’re tryna pull here
helped you out this whole year
Have a slice of humble pie
‘Cause you been actin’ weird
This ain’t no Hollywood premiere, no
And it’s been such a crazy year
I’m not your servant let’s be clear
Boo I’m tellin’ you
[Chorus]:
Play with me at your own risk
By now you know I’m not to be toyed with
don’t care if it’s mood swings or not
don’t care what problem you got
don’t need that mess in my life
just get your shit and get out
Get out, get out, get out,
Get out, get out, get out,
can I get a witness tonight?
[Bridge]:
See someone hurt you a long time ago but I’m breakin’ the cycle
I’m not here to help you reenact all your childhood trauma
You can say it, yeah you can say what you like
might wanna change it, but I know you’ll turn on a dime
My invitation, self-awareness is nice
This is me saying goodnight
[Chorus]:
Play with me at your own risk
By now you know I’m not to be toyed with
don’t care if it’s mood swings or not
don’t care what problem you got
don’t need that mess in my life
just get your shit and get out
Get out, get out, get out,
Get out, get out, get out,
can I get a witness tonight?
(Background adlib:
Ooh, I want you to go now
Ooh, I need you to go now
Ooh, I want you to go now
Ooh, demand that you go now)
