Dessa - Terry Gross lyrics

Ever since I was a little predator
Mom’s like, don’t get ahead of her
I was on the hunt for
Something better than the regular
And I knew there was candy at the register
So not about to settle for the vegetables
Full-grown, still got a sweet tooth
Still tryna climb all the walls I can see
You take your influences wichoo
Everywhere you go mine were Carmen Sandiego
Lauryn Hill and Terry Gross
But, I’ve been playing hard to keep:
Kiss and teleport
Dark roots where the bleach won’t reach
Man, that’s gotta be a metaphor
But, I’m still tryna storyboard it
Call me back if it’s important
If you’re looking for me
On this Tinder shit about partners in crime
Seems like Bonnie’s working a
Little harder than Clyde
When it comes to the heist
Doesn’t feel like a partnership
Because my accomplice is
Completely incompetent

I don't need a drink menu i'll take a
White wine through a Twizzler great thanks
Man

Two bars walk into a joke
First is a gold bar, other is soap
"Yo, lemme get the punchline!"
"I’m worth most, "
Gold says with a glass too full to toast
But Soap makes her voice go real low
Leans close, rarely one to go boast
"But when the banks hit the button
The credit goes down to nothing
And the floodwaters come in
Then let’s see who floats"
Watch for unintended consequences those
You don’t see
The initials of your girlfriend could
Kill the fucking oak tree
Nothing in my pocket but the body heat
Travel light, and mind your manners, man
That’s my foreign policy

I’m that Netflix chick
See the pieces on the ceiling
The strategy above me
All the moves when I’m competing:
I’ll arrive by lightning bolt
Leave by cannonball the china’s fine, man
The bull’s mechanical

Before we continue this conversation
I just have to
Make sure you're not a robot here
Which one of these pictures
Have buses? Robots will
Never be able to figure out buses

A base hit is the son of a pitch
A tanning bed is the sun of the rich
Son, keep your knuckles up
Front of the fists
Don’t go broke looking for something to fix

A base hit is the son of a pitch
A tanning bed is the sun of the rich
Son, keep your knuckles up
Front of the fists
Don’t go broke looking for something to fix
