[Chorus: Adrienne Mack-Davis]
I’m so brand new
Knew you’d call, call me here
Hear me roar
See me soar
Sore your eyes ‘cause I’m gone
It’s goodbye
[Verse 1: Likwuid]
I pay the bills
Nobody pays attention
I come home, cook the meals and I clean the kitchen
Washing up his clothes, washing up the babies
I’m bringing home the bacon, still gotta make the gravy
We converse about commerce, it’s a placebo
‘cause if I say too much I might conquer his ego
And then he’ll make excuses for his secretary’s emails
He left his screen up by accident, I saw the details
Plus my car needs a detail
Sick and tired of this working in retail
It doesn’t seem to cut the mustard or the custard
But word to Q-Tip, I love him though, poetic justice
How can I express it? How to form the words when he tells me that a woman should be seen, not heard
They say a heart can’t be open until it’s broken
I left him this love letter because it’s duly noted that
[Refrain]
Gone…
[Verse 2: Donwill]
A long day at the office
A longer night at home when my feet hit the carpet
I’m breadwinning, you bread-spending, so we even
You a kept woman, keep complaining like you don’t need me, shit
Keep saying you don’t see me ‘cause I’m entertaining clients at them after-hour meetings
Well, these entertainment systems don’t buy theyself
And try explaining to collectors when them checks ain’t clear
It’s a man’s world uh, and me, well, I’m a continent
You? Indigenous, you wasn’t brought on a slave-ship
That ain’t misogynistic, is it?
If so I’m sorry, let me apologize with kisses
Oh this is just lipstick, so what it’s on my collar?
I just hugged an old friend that I saw with happy hour
Now are we clear? I swear you stay with accusations
Here she go again, Lord, please grant me the patience
[Chorus]
I’m so brand new
Knew you’d call, call me here
Hear me roar
See me soar
Sore your eyes ‘cause I’m gone
It’s goodbye
