Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can't stand it, I know you planned it

I'ma set it straight, this Watergate

I can't stand rockin' when I'm in here

'Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear

So while you sit back and wonder why

I got this fuckin' thorn in my side

Oh my god, it's a mirage

I'm telling y'all, it's sabotage

[Verse 2]

So, so, so, so listen up 'cause you can't say nothin'

You'll shut me down with a push of your button

But yo, I'm out and I'm gone

I'll tell you, now, I keep it on and on

[Verse 3]

'Cause what you see you might not get

And we can bet so don't you get souped yet

You're scheming on a thing that's a mirage

I'm tryin' tell you now it's sabotage

[PreChorus]

Why?

Our backs are now against the wall

[Chorus]

Listen all of y'all, it's a sabotage

Listen all of y'all, it's a sabotage

Listen all of y'all, it's a sabotage

Listen all of y'all, it's a sabotage

[Verse 4]

I can't stand it, I know you planned it

I'ma set it straight, this Watergate

But I can't stand rockin' when I'm in this place

Because I feel disgrace because you're all in my face

But make no mistakes and switch up my channel

I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle

What could it be? It's a mirage

You're scheming on a thing, that's sabotage
