[@NICKTREACTS]

one of the most underrated artist

[@keva4672]

True facts

[@yanae.e]

This brings mumble rap to a whole new meaning this doesn't have words genius what are u doing

[@jadenmccray8501]

Yeah she’s underrated for a reason

[@NICKTREACTS]

Jaden Mccray damn that was some hater shit to say lol

[@candyheart3660]

fact

[@alienovel]

First I thought she was singing the lyrics backwards so I tried reading all that but then I realized she was just mumbling random shit and then explaining nothing relating to it

[@shairahcortez]

saaame

[@missshannonsunshine]

She wasn’t though. Re read it. She didn’t explain everything, but it wasn’t random fornthe most part. I wish she did explain everything but NOBODY on here that explains their shit does. The editors probably cut it out Some parts really don’t match though. I had to rewind so many timess

[@princylady1]

It’s kinda confusing. Like in the video when she’s singing, she’s still mumbling audible words but for some reason she decided to make some different ones up and put those in the Genius lyrics ig

[@powerpuff4ever]

princylady1 so she explained it and the video explained it. There _were no lyrics_ . She played the track and started mumbling along to the beat to find something that stuck, then she recorded that. She added facts about herself and random thoughts and flipped them to put as subtitles in the music video and that’s what genius has as lyrics. She’s mumbling actual words along with the time of the song but they’re not supposed to make coherent lines. The explanations are basically just what the subtitles say when they’re not backwards

[@kyahhh6490]

She is the whole song is backwards

[@Ultracannon2000]

Missy Elliot: I will incorporate backwards lyrics into my music Tierra Whack: reeb ym dloh

[@MrKennySteel]

To anyone asking why this and nothing from Whack World here’s a couple suggestions as to why: 1. Mumbo Jumbo is Grammy Nominated so they may want to push that 2. Every song on Whack World is literally 1 minute long, I don’t know how much of a lyric breakdown you can really get out of that

[@arylove1032]

Kenny Jefferson right, she would have to break the entire album if that were the case😕

[@ImGabeChan]

I mean they still did a lyric breakdown from a song without lyrics

[@Wigconic.]

Ok this is way better than mumble rappers nowadays

[@damienwatkins5202]

Nah

[@bigsoap186]

Iconic mumble rap is better than lyrical spiritual j Cole, when I listen to music I’m not trying to listen to a bunch of deep shit I’m just trying to have fun

[@damienwatkins5202]

Any mumble rap is shit

[@dusthymn8187]

You saying this is completely missing the point of why she did this song

[@damienwatkins5202]

All I know is that she mumbles the song and I don't understand what she's saying.

[@ziggodante]

FINALLY A GOOD ARTIST. WE NEED THAT FRUIT SALAD BREAK DOWN LOL

[@beccabutt]

exactly.

[@missshannonsunshine]

Fruit salad doesn’t need a breakdown Maybe toe jam?? That song is fire

[@fatimatasarr684]

[@bigbizgrizzz777]

We also need a 4 min version of said song too

[@Brizzontherocks]

FRUIT SALAD IS MY FUCKING SHIT, I LOVE THAT SONG

She is saying different lyrics then the actual video ones, which is weird as fuck because she is describing what the ones on video means yet she is saying something else all together when she sings
