“Boomerang”
If I shoot him in the stomach
Then he’s hurting on my dime
And if I shoot him in the head, then he’s dead and he’s livin’ on my mind
My reflection in the mirror
Her perfection in his eyes
I’m a danger to myself
I run from twelve
And take my rage across the county line
But I won’t let this go
Not my tomorrow
Don’t forget your pride, it’s laying in her bed of sorrow
What you done to me
I swear to you it’s gonna come back like a boomerang
Wooooo
Wooooo
Woooooooooo
You knew my daddy didn’t like you
From the moment you two met
He knew too well, you would drag me through Hell
And never come back for the baby we’d regret
Oh
But I won’t let this go
Not my tomorrow
Don’t forget your pride
It’s laying in her bed of sorrow
Watcha done to me
I swear to you it’s gonna come back like a boomerang
Woooooo
Wooooo
Woooooooooo
Watcha done to me
I swear to you it’s gonna come back like a boomerang
And knock you to your knees
I swear to you it’s gonna come back like a boomerang

I’ll be back when YEBBA either wins or is egregiously snubbed for Album of the Year

[@francotitovincenti2757]

Exactly

[@paulieluce5303]

She's getting snubbed most likely, but I'm also not sure what categories she would submit for. She has already won a grammy with PJ Morton so they at least know her. They seem to let at least one "indie" artist into the main categories (Brandi Carlisle, H.E.R., Haim, Bon Iver, Vampire Weekend) not really indie but definitely not the most mainstream artists, so that would be cool if she got a nom.

[@japieee]

This must just straight up be one of the best vocal performances of all time?

[@4Teresa4Ever]

YES. YES.

[@gerardhern]

The track was inspired by a friend of Yebba’s who was in an unhealthy relationship. “As soon as she had a baby, her husband started beating her,” the singer-songwriter explains. “Because I’ve never been married and I’ve never had a kid, the best way I knew how to tell that story was to describe how I feel when I’m blindsided by a relationship, and the shock that comes with that. I walked into this space in my mind where I find the one I love in someone else’s bed, and my mind goes right to violence. It’s the kind of thing where you have so much comfortability with rage, you’re able to think through it logically-like: ‘If I shoot him in the stomach, I’m gonna have to pay his hospital bill, so fuck that. If I shoot him in the head, then I could be convicted of murder. So what am I supposed to do?’ It ends up being a picture of running with your rage, and just trusting that karma will come back around and take care of things for you.”
