"during my 9 to 5, im thinking 6 and 9s" that's actual lyrical genius right there

[anialguj]

"Sometimes I had to just stop recording because the lyrics were too deep"

[littlegreenbean]

I love the inclusivity of her lyrics. From the born agains to the gays

[KennyBye]

how are you all overlooking the absolute zinger that is “can you and i start mixing gene pools” i’m in TEARS

[wolfyblue]

"a hundred jpeg files filling up my hard drive" who told this line was fire

[WoRm_WoRm]

“What a day, a young boy next door passed way”
has me dead’ 💀

[amberrr]

“You’re easy breezy and I’m Japanese-y” 💀

[mysticwater]

I can’t tell which I like more “you’re easy breezy and I’m Japanese-y” or “burn it up like a gay parade”

[Just_Kumoki]

The way she sings Blackberry is so emotional.

[edenz]

Unironically "during my 9 to 5, I'm thinking 6 and 9s" is genuinely an amazing lyric

[sanecatlady]

She should collab with Cupcakke, they would create a modern masterpiece

[mmurph]

Her American crossover in the 2000s was underappreciated. She was singing about MySpace and Blackberries with so much emotion.

[draga_]

these mid-2000's beats are killing me 😭

[mattybrunolucaszeneresalas]

0:57 wait no you gotta finish the lyric

[daoyang]

Lol i forget how unhinged lyrics were for artists from that era.

The early 2000s was magical.

[hyejusleftlung]

“burn it up like a gay parade”
NAUR 😭😭 FOUL

[hydrocosmo]

"Hunnies if you're straight-"
*ends video*

lmao

[kotsu]

im telling my kids this was the persona soundtrack

You forgot a few:

“All along, I was searching more ‘my Lenore’, in the words of Mr Edgar Allan Poe.”

“I wish that I could photoshop all our bad memories.”

“Like Captain Picard, I’m chilling and flossing.”

[celestialtale]

she’s an icon, she’s a legend and she is the moment.
