Ha ha ha ha

Light trips, sweat drips

Come party in my basement

Man, I’m gonna get you wasted

Yeah, just enough for you to taste it

Cash this, get rich

Feel it ’til you’re famous

Party in my basement

Just enough for you to taste it

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

Come on people, let me through

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

Making waves across the room

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

I’ve got nothing left to lose

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

I’m dropping bombs on you

Night shift, killed it

You won’t need no replacement

I’m gonna make a statement

‘Cause I wanna watch you chase it

Cash flow, down low

Money just like chocolate

I’m gonna make you famous

Come party in my basement

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

Come on people, let me through

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

Making waves across the room

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

I’ve got nothing left to lose

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

I’m dropping bombs on you

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Can I get you? Can I get you?

Can I get you super-size? Can’t you see it in my eyes?

You know I wanted that, I’m flashing out my dollar signs

Can I get you super-size? Can’t you see it in my eyes?

You know I wanted that, I’m flashing out my dollar signs

Come party in my basement

Come party in my basement (Atomic)

Come party in my basement

Meow, woof woof, I’m making

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

Come on people, let me through

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

Making waves across the room

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

I’ve got nothing left to lose

Dropping bombs (Atomic)

I’m dropping bombs on you

Uh

Yo, chainsaw tight like a wrapped up mic

I’m an ill motherfucker and I only drink snake bite

Get yourself right, lock you in the fucking coffin

Bury you alive and there ain’t no way I’m fuckin’ stoppin’

You’re a sad bitch, but I’m a bad bitch

Got more cheese than your motherfuckin’ sandwich

Speak another language, your boy will never understand me

Roll deep, with the guns and their fucking candy

I’m on the Japanese hardcore

Fuck you up quick with a hammer and a hacksaw

Uh, your bitches know I’m so gnarly

Beating up the track like, ow ow Charli

It’s a motherfucking murder scene

I’m the serial killer, only 18

Yeah, yeah it’s a underage wet dream

Uh, but that bitch so sexy

But that bitch so sexy

But that bitch so sexy

But that bitch so sexy

But that bitch so sexy

Yo, uh, you don’t fuck with me

I’ll smash you up with a fuckin’ chainsaw

Lock you in a dungeon

Suck out your blood through a fuckin’ straw

Put it in a cocktail and serve it to your mother

Uh, peace

Unapologetic Attitude and Bold Imagery

“B!tch ZO SXC” by Charli XCX captures a fiercely rebellious spirit, packed with aggressive metaphors and unapologetic confidence. Charli crafts a persona that’s both intimidating and alluring, boasting about her dominance and fearlessness with lines that blur the boundary between bravado and dark humor. The references to chainsaws, coffins, and hardcore Japanese influences highlight an aesthetic that’s both playful and menacing, while the recurring phrase “but that bitch so sexy” transforms aggression into a form of self-assured empowerment. This track stands out for its raw energy and the way it subverts traditional pop tropes with a punk edge.

Longing and Vulnerability in Modern Love

(I be good, I be bad

Be the best that you had)

(I be good, I be bad

Be the best that you had)

People never get it right

Think I’m sweet like a lullaby

But nothing’s ever black or white

Yeah, there’s more to me than the eye can see

Get you up, lay you down

Told you this came naturally

I got that magical remedy

Knew I’d have you fallin’ to your knees

Looked into my eyes, got you mesmerized

Forbidden fruit is drippin’ sweet

Poisonin’ the heart of me

I can make your dreams reality

I’ll get your body high, make you feel alive

Uh, uh, uhhh

I be good, I be bad

Be the best that you had

Uh, uh, uhhh

Get you up, lay you down

I was busy thinkin’ ’bout boys, boys, boys

Always busy dreamin’ ’bout boys, boys, boys (XCX)

Head is spinnin’ thinkin’ ’bout boys

I need that bad boy to do me right on a Friday

And I need that good one to wake me up on a Sunday

That one from work can come over on Monday night

I want ’em all, I want ’em all

And when they finally leave me, I’m all alone but

I’m lookin’ down and my girls are blowin’ my phone up

Them twenty questions, they askin’ me where I’m at

Didn’t hit ’em back

I’m sorry that I missed your party

I wish I had a better excuse like

I had to trash the hotel lobby

But I was busy thinkin’ ’bout boys, boys, boys

I was busy dreamin’ ’bout boys, boys, boys

Head is spinnin’ thinkin’ ’bout boys

In every city I’ve got one with different ringtones

Flyin’ from L.A. all the way to Puerto Rico

My girls are callin’ me askin’ me where I’m at

Empowerment and Wealth: Charli XCX’s “Bricks”

“Bricks” by Charli XCX, featuring Tommy Genesis, is an unapologetic anthem of success, luxury, and camaraderie. The repeated mantra of “I’m stackin’ bricks with my clique” becomes a metaphor for building wealth, self-worth, and an unbreakable bond with her crew. The song paints vivid images of luxury lifestyles—private jets, gold bars, and mansions—while balancing a playful, rebellious energy. Charli and Tommy’s verses intertwine flaunted confidence with a sense of exclusivity, emphasizing the power found in both material achievements and loyal friendships. The energetic delivery, combined with tongue-in-cheek braggadocio and self-love, turns “Bricks” into both a celebration and a rallying cry for ambition and unity.

I just wanna go back, back to 1999

Take a ride to my old neighborhood

I just wanna go back

Sing “Hit me baby, one more time”

Wanna go back, wanna go

Yeah, I just wanna go back

Nike Airs, All That

CD, old Mercedes

Drive ’round listening to Shady like (Oh)

Never under pressure (Oh)

Those days, it was so much better (Oh)

Feelin’ cool in my youth, relaxin’

No money, no problem

It was easy back then

Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh

Got memories

Ooh, maybe we could do it tonight

Tonight’s the night

I just wanna go back, back to 1999

Take a ride to my old neighborhood

I just wanna go back

Sing “Hit me baby, one more time”

Wanna go back, wanna go

Yeah, I remember back home

Best friends, all night, no phone

No cares, I was dumb and so young

My room singing Michael Jackson (Hee hee)

Never under pressure (Oh)

Those days it was so much better (Oh)

Feelin’ cool in my youth, I’m askin’

“Does anyone remember how we did it back then?”

Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh

Got memories

Ooh, maybe we could do it tonight

Tonight’s the night, yeah

I just wanna go back, back to 1999

Take a ride to my old neighborhood

I just wanna go back

Sing “Hit me baby, one more time”

Wanna go back, wanna go

Back to where we came from

Playin’ air guitar on the roof

In the kitchen, up on the table

Like we had a beautiful view, I wanna go

I just wanna go back, back to 1999

Ah, yeah

Yeah

Back to 1999

Back to ’99, yeah

I know those days are over but a boy can fantasize

‘Bout JTT on MTV and when I close my eye-eye-eyes

And I’m right there, right there (Right there, right there)

And he’s right there, right there (Right there)

And we’re right there, right there

Ah, ah, ah

I just wanna go back, back to 1999

Take a ride to my old neighborhood

I just wanna go back

Sing “Hit me baby, one more time”

Wanna go back, wanna go

Back to where we came from

Playin’ air guitar on the roof

In the kitchen, up on the table

Like we had a beautiful view, I wanna go

I just wanna go back, back to 1999
