Saying It All
[Verse 1: Machine-gun Chicago female MC, clipped and quick, hard on every consonant] Two years and you end it with two little words Say less on a text while I'm stuck at the curb Bags on my arm and the ice cream dripping Read it three times and my patience went missing Say less was your motto, you lived by the rule Said less at the dinner, said less at the pool Said less to my mama the one time she called You said so little I was dating a wall So I hit the green button, it rang to the tone Your voice on the greeting like nobody home Thirty seconds to leave it, that's plenty of space For a Chicago girl with a whole lot to say [Pre-Chorus: Machine-gun Chicago female MC, building, louder every line] Thirty seconds on the clock, I don't need a minute Every word you never let me say, I'm about to put in it [Chorus: Machine-gun Chicago female MC, shouted, full chest] You said say less, so I'm saying it all Every word that you owed me, I'm packing in the call Thirty seconds, no breath, no comma, no pause You said say less, now you're catching it all [Verse 2: Machine-gun Chicago female MC, voicemail beep cut, the beat drops out under the beep, then she comes in at full speed as the drums slam back] Beep, okay, listen, you borrowed my charger Gave back a cord that don't fit, now I'm sharper You liked your ex's picture at a quarter past two Told me it was your thumb like your thumb got a view You thanked your barber and the man at the bank Never thanked me once, so I'm filling the blank Your mother still loves me, she been texting me too She said honestly, baby, I'd have left him in June Your dog loves me, that's a fact, not a guess And I'm keeping the dog, by the way, so say less [Chorus: Machine-gun Chicago female MC, shouted, full chest] You said say less, so I'm saying it all Every word that you owed me, I'm packing in the call Thirty seconds, no breath, no comma, no pause You said say less, now you're catching it all [Bridge: Machine-gun Chicago female MC, counting down, every bar faster, kick on every word] Ten seconds left and I'm still on page one Nine, I been holding this in since the summer begun Eight, you said it was cute how I talk Seven, now it's cute on your phone and your clock Six, every hoodie you own on the stoop Five, and your mama says hi, she's on my side too Four, I'm not crying, I'm breathing in time Three, two, this the last thing you hear that is mine [Chorus: Machine-gun Chicago female MC, shouted, full chest] You said say less, so I'm saying it all Every word that you owed me, I'm packing in the call Thirty seconds, no breath, no comma, no pause You said say less, now you're catching it all [Outro: Machine-gun Chicago female MC, cold and calm, the voicemail beep rings out and fades] Say less Okay Done [End]
