  • Princess Slit and the Raincoat Prince

    Queer back in highschool

    Dressing up in pink, purple, and blue

    Playing in mud wearing tutus

    The princess should never jump from her tower

    CHORUS

    I wanna peg Eminem

    I wanna be feminine

    I wanna wear my Prada and Gabbana and Chanel

    bike the road to hell

    Kill the show and sell

    Fuck em' all, women and men.

    V2

    Poly pockets

    Baby gurl

    Daddy oo

    Polycule

    My first spark

    Joan de Arc

    Kate Winslet

    Pride and Prejudice

    boys kiss kiss

    little switch

    suck my slit

    Raincoat Prince

    Punk Princess

    Burn flannel

    CHORUS

    I wanna peg Eminem

    I wanna be feminine

    I wanna wear my Prada and Gabbana and Chanel

    bike the road to hell

    Kill the show and sell

    Fuck em' all, women and men.

  • Buy You a New Attitude

    V1

    Lucky you

    You survived step one

    Now all that's left

    Is step two to twenty some.

    I love em' ghetto

    O I do

    But sometimes that means

    I got a little more work to do

    CHORUS

    Let’s get your hair did

    Let's get you credit

    Let me buy you

    A new

    Attitude

    V2

    I love when they got umph

    When they come from the hood

    have adjusting to do

    Nothing can't be solved with a little good good

    And they is feisty

    But I love a little sultry

    But son if you think you’re the only one with a gun

    Boom.

    CHORUS

    Let’s get your hair did

    Let's get you credit

    Let me buy you

    A new

    Attitude

    BRIDGE

    Now now hold up

    Momma getting hungry

    Could I order delivery?

    Yes, do you have any ghetto sweet?

    Yes honey come to me

    I emasculate every man I meet

    I try not to but they can’t stand

    Up to me

    So Come on over with a little more umph

    And let’s turn you

    into two

    CHORUS

    Let’s get your hair did

    Let's get you credit

    Let me buy you

    A new

    Attitude

  • NTRO

    Sometimes when I’m walking and a man looks at me

    I think of all the ways I could make him bleed

    I would dig my key into his eye

    I’d crack his teeth, liver and spleen

    V1

    My brother died when I was eight

    He turned blue and yellow at three months of age

    One night I dug at the grave

    his small crate freshly laid

    CHORUS

    Terror, Terror

    Knows me by name

    Terror, Terror

    Now lives in the day

    V2
    I was thirteen when I got fucked and bled all over the sheets

    I fled to the laundry , house nigga make em’ white and clean

    He whistled me from darkness, he churned my pussy cream

    Now I’m pissing and praying, cum outta me

    CHORUS

    BRIDGE

    He knows, me by name,

    He lives, in my everyday

    CHORUS
