[English]

Yo, I'm contradicting religion and overthrowing men

I'm praying on the downfall of politicians and many men

I'm saying prayers at night to cease the fire war

I'm putting ICE back in the fridge to help the six-year-old

I'm wishing death and disease on all the evil men

Who contribute to what is wrong, I hope the earth will swallow them

I like period blood, I think it's sexy

Diva cup in my guts, my bed sheet's kinda messy

I'm a poisonous drink like Belladonna

There's a big, big difference from witches and snake charmers

I killed myself, quantum leaped into the future

Shifting all the parallels from everything I'm used to

I'm quantum leaping, you can call me the magician

I excel the mesoteric with a great precision

Equipped with mysteries surpassing male religion

I got more powerful, I shifted my dimension

Jumping timelines and changing my reality

Light and dark, good and evil, picture of duality

Yin and yang, men and women, hot and cold

I'm 33, 69, a hundred years old

I'll cancel plans for you

She's so sweet, like jasmine (oh)

I just gotta have it, oh

I'll cancel plans for you

She's so sweet, like jasmine (oh)

I just gotta have it, oh

You think I lost it, oh -, you - wish

I know that you're obsessed with me, you - lesbian

Eat your heart out -, I'm holding nothing back

Of course I'm wishing death on you, I hope you have a heart attack

Sorry, did I do that? I have not one remorse

My compass map just took a left and I embarked a different course

You wanna see what's worse, I am an evil girl

I made your hair fall out and now it look like you just got a perm

You're getting on my nerves and I'm about to blow

I'm only playing catch-up and I'm standing on my - own

I heard I'm a -, I know I'm a -

I'm judgmental, mean as -, my autism make me tick

I'm rigid, I'm cold as ice, I'm watching you copy

I know that I have no friends, at least I'm no groupie

I live in a country house right next to the cows and goats

I wake up to sunshine and nothing's uncomfortable

I left all my pain behind, I'm covered in plenty now

I walk to the front yard and acre my loop around

I'll cancel plans for you

She's so sweet, like jasmine (oh)

I just gotta have it, oh

I'll cancel plans for you

She's so sweet, like jasmine (oh)

I just gotta have it, oh

I'll cancel plans for you

She's so sweet, like jasmine (oh)

I just gotta have it, oh

I'll cancel plans for you

She's so sweet, like jasmine (oh)
