about

We wrote this song about passive aggression because it's dumb and we're tired of it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

lyrics

Verse 1:
One time I got screwed real bad
My girl was a-fightin for all I had
She said “I’m not mad” but I teased it out
“You’re scarin’ me honey, no need to shout”
I’m the enemy of her verbal war
I try to escape but she still wants more
Just tryna hold the peace and not say shit
And somehow she gets offended by it


Chorus:
I held my tongue but still got branded
Gotta watch out for the petty hoes
She tried to explain but I didn’t understand it
Betta (pause) watch out for the petty hoes
Petty hoes

Verse 2:
Now I gotta tip-toe around the house
I tried being honest but she still had doubts
She prances ‘round the point but ne’er gets there
honestly, you can really be blunt, I don’t care
If you just speak true, hell, you’d save us both time!
Then maybe I wouldn’t have to write this rhyme
But whenever I sit back and sip my wine
You say, “bullshit, that’s way outta line”

Chorus:
I held my tongue but still got branded
Gotta watch out for the petty hoes
She tried to explain but I didn’t understand it
Betta watch out for the petty hoes
Petty hoes

Verse 3:
They always hang around like thought police
Now I’m trying to leave, she says “no baby, pls”
To think this is the girl I used to admire
Now I’m ready to cast it into the fire
So I took my bags and I took my car
And I told my friends to meet me at the bar
No worries in my mind and a cold beer in hand
Pray to God that don’t ever happen again

Chorus:
I held my tongue but still got branded
Gotta watch out for the petty hoes
She tried to explain but I didn’t understand it
Betta (pause) watch out for the petty hoes
Petty hoes
Petty hoes
