Leech

(album: Social Lubrication - 2023)

The leech is out for blood
The leech knows everyone
And everyone seems to knows the leech
They wave and they smile politely with their false teeth
While the heads and behinds are patted, the wine is poured
The endless drops of small talk is devoured
The gatekeepers, the so called legends
Ya boys gonna let the girls play?
Or are they merely ornaments on display?
Did you accomplish something extraordinary?
Are you extraordinary? Is anyone or another leech?
How dare you get to hug her
You don't deserve to love her
You don't deserve her words
What she stands for, what she's made, her strength
You don't deserve her
You see, the leech sucks the blood from those who truly know how to love
Sucks the blood from those who truly know how to love

Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy

The leech is out for blood
The leech is out for blood
The leech is out for blood
They won't stop, won't stop till they get every drop

Proven guilty until nothing is wrong, eh?
Did you take that picture of me asleep
Laughing about that time you got kicked out of your uni?
I don't do this often, but do you?
Do you use and abuse your power to the young women that listen to what you say?
So you call me a friend?
Someone to hide behind?
Do you hide behind those so called friends?
Do you hide behind the illusion of power?
The perception of power?
With power let me take this mic, let me scream
Let me tell you who I am and what comes is loose in the seams
A loose woman
That was never yours to please
And now that I'm on this side of the wall and I'm holding up the wall do you acknowledge that there is a wall?
Do you hide behind your parents? Hide behind my youth?
Hide behind my inexperience, my lack of judgement?
Do you hide behind the position you hold?
Do you hide behind the illusion of power?
The perception of power?

Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy

The leech is out for blood
The leech is out for blood
The leech is out for blood
They won't stop, won't stop till they get every drop

Fuck those who call themselves a friend and don't lift a finger
Fuck that WhatsApp group where they got points for nailing a fresh faced singer
Fuck those who say, "Be patient, wait for your turn"
Fuck that
I will support my girl
I will support my girl

Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy

The leech is out for blood
The leech is out for blood
The leech is out for blood
They won't stop, won't stop till they get every drop
The leech is out for blood
The leech is out for blood
The leech is out for blood
They won't stop till they get every drop
They won't stop, won't stop, won't stop, won't stop, won't stop, won't stop, won't stop
The leech is out for blood
The leech is out for blood
The leech is out for blood
They won't stop, won't stop till they get every drop

Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy
Just have some fucking empathy
