lyrics

Ay Ay Ay

1. (Shelley) I’m just a seed, in a sidewalk crack
2. (Kofy) Busting concrete, gonna break your back
3. (Katie) Just one match, more matches all around
4. (Vicki) With enough friction, burn the whole house down

You tried to bury me, but I’m an oak tree
You tryna come for me, you betta be ready

Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay (4x)

1. (Shelley) Under your skin, I burrow like a worm
2. (Kofy) I’m digging in, watching you writhe and burn
3. (Katie) Try to suppress, try to objectify
4. (Vicki) In your dreams, you hear my battle cry

You tried to bury me, but I’m an oak tree
You tryna come for me, you betta be ready

Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay (4x)
