Problem For Pay | Embers To Ashes ft DEADHEXY

V5.5

[Verse 1, Ember] They stamped my name in the door Like I was trouble on the floor Too loud, too sharp, too much to take So I learned how much to break You pointed once, I heard it twice Made me a villain overnight Now I smile at every stare You made me famous by being scared [Pre-Chorus] And I saw the way you look at me Like I was born to disagree Well, keep your warning, keep your doubt I know what you’re all about [Chorus] Call me the problem, I’m cashing the check You fed the fire, now watch what comes next Best damn problem you’ve ever seen All sharp teeth and a front-page dream Call me the problem, I wear it well You wrote the script, now I run that hell You wanted chaos, here’s your sign I turned your attitude into mine [Verse 2, Mochi] Thought you could keep me In your pocket But watch me blast off Just like a rocket (ZOOM ZOOM!) 'Cuz I ain't never been the kind Of girl to stay inside my Own damn lane Now every “no” is gasoline (VROOM VROOM!) Every side-eye plants another seed (BLOOM BLOOM!) Now get a big ol' friggin' load of me 'Cuz I'm the reason budgets break [Pre-Chorus, stripped back, tribal drum fills] And I see the way you look at me Like I'm speakin' fluent malarkey Well, save your warnings Keep your doubts LEMME SHOW YOU WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT! [Chorus, bigger, theatrical] Call me the problem, I’ll cash that check You asked for it, now come get wrecked Best damn problem you’ve ever seen With drip way sharper than guillotines Call me the problem, I wear it well Swervin' your script n' raisin' hell If you wanted bedlam, I'll oblige I turned your attitude into mine [Erhu solo] [Lead Guitar solo] [Bridge, Ember takes back over] You cast the stone, I built the road Made a crown of trash and a little fool's gold Every scar got a benefit Now I’m the storm you could not fix [Breakdown] Say my name like you made me Watch me prove you can't shame me I don’t fold, I don’t beg, I don’t bend I just get better every time you offend [Final Chorus, starts stripped back, building up to huge, theatrical vocal harmonies (Both Ember and Mochi)] Call me the problem, I’m cashing the check You fed the fire, now watch what comes next Best damn problem you’ve ever seen All sharp teeth and a front-page dream Call me the problem, I wear it well You wrote the script, now I run that hell You wanted chaos, here’s your sign Call me the problem, I’ll cash that check (that check) You done asked for it, now come get wrecked (come get wrecked) Best damn problem you’ve ever seen Drip way sharper than guillotines (guillotines) Call me the problem, I wear it well Swervin' your script n' raisin' hell (raisin' hell) You wanted bedlam, I'll oblige I turned your attitude into mine [Outro] You called it damage I called it drive Now I’m the reason I’m alive [Sustained note fades to ending]
