[Intro]
Am G Dm E7

[Verse 1]
Am                             
   You know I'm not one to take
        G
    orders from ya
Dm                               
   I'll drop another clue for you
             E
    peek a boo, now do you get it
Am                             
   You always wonder why I just
          G
    say "forget it"
Dm                               
   'Cause talking to a brick wall
          E          E7
    gives me headaches, headaches

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am
Spread your lies while I stretch
G
Spread my legs and do the splits
Dm
Yell at me on your screen
E                 E7
While I stand up to your being
Am
You're not real, just like me
G
We were never our bodies
Dm
We're just dust, energy
E                E7
Hot like melting icy crеam

[Chorus]
Am
Tryna bring the mystical into
 the material
G
Bitch, I'm in an еleven life
 path, I'm ethereal
Dm
I'm the definition of dichotomy, 
duality
E                              
Katarina in the womb for nine
                E7
 months, 'til she birthed me
Am
Look at her she's a bridge and
 on her bridge, I'll take a shit
G                              
Fuck it up you get lit let's get
                   Dm
 deep if not I'll dip
                 E7             Am
I'll be riding solo on my field trip
G         Dm
Ooh, ooh, oh oh
E7      Am
Ooh, oh oh
G         Dm
Ooh, ooh, oh oh
E7      Am
Ooh, oh oh

[Verse 2]
(Am)                          
   I'm never gonna be what you 
        G
   had envisioned
Dm                                
   You said 'blanquitas' feel more
             E
    Latina than you, 'ahora lo 
    entiendes'
Am                             
   You always say you're woke, 
             G
   it's your aesthetic
Dm                            
   But is your empathy actually
    E           E7
    authentic, is it?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am                      G
I am shy but I do speak only
 when I truly need
   Dm
To say some shit that hopefully
     E                  
Will reach the ears it's
    E7
 supposed to be
  Am                          
I try my best to show them me,
    G
 my rising sign is all they see
Dm
Scorpio bitch with a sharp
 ass sting
        E                 E7
I gotta Taurus Sun, Moon, Mercury

I'm the definition of dichotomy,

 'til she birthed me
Am
Look at her she's a bridge and 
on her bridge, I'll take a shit
