Throw the Chair

Throw the Chair Still Shine [Intro] (Spoken) My therapist said… “Try expressing your feelings.” Baby… I’m one inconvenience away from becoming preventative medicine. (808 drops) [Verse 1] Been smilin’ so long my jaw lock up, “How you doin’?” “Good…” Whole damn lie, what? Holdin’ every word like it’s evidence, Meanwhile everybody else just reckless. Bit my tongue till it damn near bled, Replayin’ every argument inside my head. Tryna be mature… Tryna be polite… Meanwhile my blood pressure pickin’ fights. [Pre-Chorus] They say… “Take the high road.” Girl… That road got potholes. I’m over here breathin’… Countin’ to ten… While Karen over there actin’ like she pay my rent. [Chorus] If bottlin’ anger make my body sick… Somebody better move that table quick. Doctor said, “Reduce your stress.” Well hell… Guess I’m doin’ my best. Throw the chair… Not the relationship. Flip the table… That’s self-care, bitch. If suppressin’ feelings cost me years… I’ma scream in surround sound through both ears. Call it crazy… Call it therapy… I’m just practicin’ preventative medicine. (Hey! Hey!) [Verse 2] Everybody preach, “Be the bigger person.” Baby… I’ve been six foot eight emotionally. Always forgivin’, Always understandin’, Always apologizin’ For somebody else’s damage. You crossed the line… I brought a ruler. You burned the bridge… I hired movers. Now they shocked When I finally snap. Like… Y’all thought patience came in bulk packs? [Bridge] I ain’t sayin’ Violence the answer… I’m just sayin’ This pillow know every cuss word in the dictionary. God still workin’ on me… But the folding chair… Lookin’ like destiny. (Chair scrape sound) [Final Chorus] If bottlin’ anger make my body sick… Then I’m cashin’ in my wellness check. Ain’t throwin’ fists… Ain’t startin’ fights… But somebody’s plant might lose its life. Throw the chair… Not at nobody. Just let the universe know I’m done bein’ everybody’s hobby. Take a deep breath… Then let it go… Or blast this song With the windows low. ‘Cause apparently… According to the internet… I’m just one fake “I’m fine” Away from a doctor’s appointment. [Outro] (Spoken, laughing) Disclaimer… Don’t actually throw the chair… Unless it’s one of them cheap lawn chairs. Then… That’s between you and Walmart. 🪑😂
