Lyrics: This is a song about getting the work done Hair up in a bun, that's the most fun Hearing myself think when I go for a run Or maybe I'm practicing the drums Or maybe I'm writing in the sun The takeaway point is I'm talking to no one Protecting my vibes that are wholesome Doing my best to solve actual problems If. You. Want. To. Hang. With. Me. Then. You. Have. To. Roll. Up. Your. Sleeves. And. Work. With me This ain't no time to come flirt with me Pipelines and drills are destroying the earth you see I cannot stand all the constant misogyny Tie my hair back so there ain't nothing stopping me It's a top knot turn up (Ayyyy) It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up, turn up, turn up It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up, turn up, turn up It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up (Ayyyy) It's a top knot turn up Top knot turn up The top knot turn up, turn up, turn up It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up, turn up, turn up It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up (Ayyyy) So tie up and tie up and tie up your hair And throw back those curls So tie up and tie up and tie up your hair And throw back those curls Uh, throw back those curls Throw back, throw back, throw back those curls I turned off my phone's notifications So I have more time No bubbles to trouble My clear state of mind One thing to know, I'm not here to please Hair tied up, I do it properly My time is not your property When I'm productive like my ovaries (Ayyyy) Give a brown girl room to breathe Basic rights and her liberty Free from insecurity That the world's projecting onto me Please do not trouble me When I am focused The future is female We already know this And fighting against the corruption on SCOTUS Turned up in my top knot since when I first wrote this (Ayyyy) It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up, turn up, turn up It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up, turn up, turn up It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up (Ayyyy) It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up, turn up, turn up It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up, turn up, turn up It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up, turn up, turn up It's a top knot turn up The top knot turn up (Ayyyy) It's a top knot turn up It's the top, it's the top knot turn up That's when I get all my work done With my curly blonde hair in a bun That's when I'm having the most fun Madame Gandhi Top knot turn up (PS: sorry if I missed something, I have sound processing issues and english is not my first language)

The ancient Greek writer Horace believed that the purpose of literature was two fold: to teach a moral lesson, but also to entertain an audience. He encapsulated this in the Latin phrase “dulce et utile” meaning sweet and useful. This is the ultimate downfall of dulce et utile

[@byirds]

Post this on TikTok this is too good not to get noticed

[@chloezzz2825]

Ma’am, I love you.

[@De4d0utside]

This instrumental seemed to have won the vocalist, she can be heard in the background and not vice versa

[@Kkidzz]

[@ashleyrhodes147]

All I do is repeat the first 40 seconds

[@zblueberryblue]

So the song is cool, but I was a little taken back by the visual effect on the top of the girls head in the very last scene. Did anyone else notice that..it seemed... (clear throat) odd? I know she's about female power and all, but that seemed a bit much.

[@lwatersmusic]

It’s just anatomy. Symbolism for feminine power. Doesn’t come off as odd to me. For god sakes, they play a song called wet ass pussy on the radio. A uterus and ovaries are absolutely the least of my concerns

[@Ultra7165]

lol

[@byirds]

*I can't stand all the constant misogyny*

[@paulwfranklin1323]

It's well directed, but f**k me, what an awful track. Awful.

[@fukuwota]

KZbin recommendation did it again
