People talk, you know

This town is small and the whisper networks deep

All is fair in love and war

But it's not my fault, they didn't hear it from me

Only abusers flourish in silence

If you did nothin' wrong, then why try to hide it?

You thought you had the perfect crime

Plausibly deniable, but I will hold ya liable

Even if it's only in my eyes

You'll find out when you fuck around

That karma has a sweeter sound for those on the right side

Hey, hey, hey

I've learned to keep my cards close to my chest and a few tricks up my sleeve (Few tricks up my sleeve)

So take off the heat

If you live by the sword, you're not protected by the sheath (Sheath, sheath, the sheath, sheath)

Only abusers flourish in silence

If you did nothin' wrong, then why try to hide it?

You thought you had the perfect crime

Plausibly deniable, but I will hold ya liable

Even if it's only in my eyes

You'll find out when you fuck around

That karma has a sweeter sound for those on the right side

Hey, hey, hey

And God forbid it happens to your sister or your best friend

Bite your tongue, don't wanna hear your fake feminist shit

Remember everything you helped to codify

You paved the way for every other and their perfect crime

Crime

Only abusers flourish in silence

If you did nothin' wrong, what the hell are you hidin'?
