check 1, check 2, check 3
now go your way
check 1, check 2, check 3
now go your way
check 1, check 2, check 3
please go away
inherent in the transit of waste
complained by taste in mouth
south of red river
misgiver tossed lifeline
time spaced out
between moon and clout
sliced sliver
deliver clockout
sprint the gamut
with tongue on lockout
sweet nothings saw the window
so they flocked out
Mondrian on my skirt
so i blocked out
spot on sacrosanct blank tablet
slept habit on interlude
bwoy culture rude
vulture on the motherlode
rolled hip to the static
dramatic tongue on the touchtone
shown in desperate measure
treasure by the pound
plundered downtown
found drunk in misgivings
living drought until drown
sound wet from the ceiling
reeling in hook-shock
rock star gangsta lean
mean tight with the wisdom
lockdown on cock
barrel stock lit up
marquee spit corrupt
border of street front
blunt my lips
bits sedentary on relax
smacks hoes up kneecaps
crusted dungeon riding shotgun
run black into ice
nice not in vernacular
macular region on low
slow behind door close
rose to code leveled
several gone hesitant
rant on the new champ
stamp to the sequence
amidst afropunk and eclipse.
chorus:
i sold secrets
i sold secrets
i sold secrets
to the highest bidder
i sold secrets
dredge bottom feeder
leader of nothing
squander lessons learned
in the promised land
wandered through desert and storm
warm from my held hand
man down on the come-up
lift up shroud as evidence
livin’ in the basement of gravity
that’s you, baby
president of the government of depravity
crate dug in time
rhymed at 33 1/3
learned vinyl was only plastic with a reverb
ya heard
words exchanged at the intersection
of plead the fifth and dimension
sun shone in reflection
the mirror deception
marilyn mccoo-ed the recollection
everybody’s has a record
of your crimes
dimes spent in pieces
spits leafless on notebooks
looks three-subject wide-eyed
slide on blacktop at recess
sense sandbox needs shovel
rubble is that homeroom
soon seen shot on the lowdown
throwdown flyby on the coop
loop liquid as it tumbles
fumbles in the drone zone
phone alone last digits
hit the reverse
cursed smooth on the swerve
nerve held in detention
mention crash boom bang
i left it on the side of the road
section smash room hang
bereft of all verbs that flowed
slowed meteor and showered in undertow
blow knuckle into hitlist.
chorus
outro:
your secrets are yours
they are not mine
i flipped you on a dime
now whatchu gonna do?

Intro/First Verse (Abiyah):
Pull up
got it goin’ on
Gotta pull up
In the fight yeah we got it strong
Gear up box out
And count to thrilla
Gear up box out
This one gwan be the killa
We know you think you’re gonna be the one to take the throne
No you won’t
Broke glass house with first stone in my zone AND
Hit homeruns on every curveball that I’m thrown AND
Those red-lighted districts try to stop me from what I’m doing
Drive right through cuz your boundaries ain’t shit
Got your hands in my cookie jar
Chipped your tooth on my fast car
Driving in my lane
Cuz you think you’re the star
But I know just what you are
You wrote my obituary cuz you thought you went and dead dat
Oh bitch you scary I’m the one you wrote and read dat
Hook (Eugenius):
Shit you talking’s dead
You know you know this
We say it is your final notice notice
Won’t be long ’til it’s all boxed up and getting carried
Memory is gettin’ buried
This is that obitchuary
Second Verse (Abby):
Bending over backwards
With a flailing and a fall
Caught up in awkward nonsense
Life is just a creepy crawl
Scorching smoke choking
Embers fickle flame
Anonymous on the outside
Nobody knows my name
She’s a paradox a princess
Something putrid something rude
No convention in her mind
Something borrowed
Something blue
Dirty dirty palms
Stifle desperate pleas
All the world prefers her just crawling on her knees
Abby/Abiyah/Eugenius
E: Hey, baby, where you goin’? Can I walk wit you?
A/A: Where the fuck you think I’m going in these high-heeled sneaker boots?
E:Well, do you got a number?
A/A:Yeah, it’s number one. My digits ain’t your business, only the middle one.
E:Ok, but do you got a man?
A/A: What’s that got to do with you? Take that wack game over there and fuck yourself, boo.
I’m not just a skirt, I’m just doing me.
Baddest bitch up on the planet and the galaxy.
Hook (Eugenius)
Outro (Eugenius):
Read it and weep
Read it and weep
Read it and weep
Don’t really care if you’re restin’ or not
But we know that you’re rottin’ in peace
Read it and weep
Read it and weep
Read it and weep
We always knew that your shit was so tired
And now we gonna put it to sleep
