Why would she want to return to a shady industry with desperate puppets fearing they can't pay their slave contracts unless they leech off someone else's talent 😂😂 best thing anybody can do is stay away from anybody with any connects to the music industry because that'll be their biggest regret. Talent is not subjective to fame.

[@stevensonjc21]

Damn this song is tremendous. When Blu starts to sing "there goes the house we made a home" really switches the song entirely from a revenge anthem to something a bit deeper. If you can drown out the beat and listen to the lyrics, this track becomes quite sad of a song. Hard to pinpoint when i should play it as a music consumer. On the surface, youd assume it'd be played when yr feeling yrself and liberated but tbh, itd prob work just as well when youre feeling sad and r sulking.

[@CJ-oq6xs]

That's weird, I was just noticing the exact same thing while listening, even tho I've heard the song hundreds of times before. "There goes 'you'll never leave me alone'." That's heartbreaking. This is definitely a grown woman breakup song, not something I ever understood as a teen back in 2001.

[@jannananaa]

💯

[@BoggarthVT]

She’s going through betrayal and heartbreak and she’s trying to make herself feel better by doing two things; going on a shopping spree with her best friends to bring her some joy and using her husbands Money to release the anger. But both of those things aren’t going to make herself feel better.
