Freestyle

Author’s note:

I broke up with my ex wife over a year ago.

Since that exit, my quality of life has drastically improved, especially as regards my sense of peace. But my confidence has also been restored.

Still, sometimes random things remind me of her. Like few days ago when I heard someone mention that old 80/20 rule.

Reminded me of how my ex used to call herself steak and everyone else burgers.

lol.

Anyway, these lyrics are just for fun— I tried making a musical backing but I have no idea how to do that. So it’s just raw vocals, to convey the delivery I imagined while writing.

***

I’m not a rapper rap but I’m rapping all the same

Cuz you and I are under wraps and we know who’s to blame

We can both blame you for playing silly games

And acting so surprised when ya won youself the flames

And I also blame me for stanning in the blaze

And Squinting through the haze

and thinking you were great

But now the smokes all blown away

And clarity’s got me wondering why the fuck I stayed

Shoulda left ya years ago before my joy got maimed

80/20 girl, that’s what you used to claim

“Other bitches are burgers and I’m a T-bone steak”

Are other women bitches? Bitch gimme a break!

You’ll only ever beat ‘em at a contest to be fake

I gobbled up your lies and got a belly ache

I dont wanna ship with you I’d rather walk the plank

80/20 girl? That’s sounding dumb as fuck today

Wanna fix that ratio? Flip it right away

Ya Call yourself an 80, watcha tryin to play?

You’re only scratchin 20, thats on a good day

All ya ever gave me was a good…. Lay

Now you can’t drive me wild all you drive me is away

And you say you’re a t-bone? Uh uh, pump the breaks.

Only t-bone here was the crash that got us lamed

My life plus yours? Ha! I let myself get played.

“Little miss burger” I think that should be your name

Or “little miss gristle” you ain’t a snack you’re just a shame

If you still think you’re a prize you must be out ya brain

Hindsight’s twenty twenty and now I see ya plain

You were never twenty, I see that clear as day

When you said ‘one and only’ my world was only gray

I’m not trying to hurt you that’s really not my aim

Only here to tell ya: girl ya sound insane

But my words are simply water, wasting down the drain

If you ever get one take away: my life with you was pain

I never shoulda let you close and now I’ve got the stains

Good fucking riddance, I’m shaking off my chains

Thank the lord we’re over, I feel higher than a plane

Addition by subtraction leaving was my gain

And life feels so much cleaner now I’m finally free

Guess it’s true there are always better fish at sea

But ya snagged me like a hooker with that piv

Ya reeled me in and played me until I gave you me

Blinked my eyes and turned around and suddenly: wifey

I gave up all the wonder of what my life could be

And only ever earned your gift of hpv

I know I sound real salty but my own eyes were faulty

I thought I ordered sea bass, got an anchovy

See I believed the lie you told of only you and me

Never knowing all along you were down with opp

It ain’t right to judge but you can call me rbg

Cuz I’m handing down a verdict of brutal honesty

I used to be a dum dum thinking you were yum yum

Back when I was stupid young and all wrapped up in getting some

Wish that could be undone, cuz you were never the one

Acting like you’re something something when ya smell like Funyuns
