With a bumping bass, and an infectious electronic sound that’s reminiscent of disco, Monét X Change delivers a tongue-in-cheek dance track ode to her haters.
Monét, a professional drag queen, competed on Season 10 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. The main challenge of the first episode was to create high fas...
[Verse 1: Monét X Change]
People hatin' undercover
Without knowin' what you're all about
But when they try to take you under
Find a way to turn it out
[Refrain: Monét X Change]
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la la la) Turn it out
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la la la) T-turn it out
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la la la) Turn it out
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la la) Turn it out
[Chorus: Monét X Change]
I, I
I'm feeling fierce and free, unbothered
I'm stepping out, I'm so unbothered
I'm getting coin, I'm so unbothered
I'm living, darling
[Post-Chorus: Monét X Change]
Let-let these bitches take my sponges, s-soak it up
Let-let these bitches take my sponges, s-soak it up
Let-let these bitches take my sponges, s-soak it up
Let-let these bitches take my sponges, s-soak it up
[Verse 2: Monét X Change]
You don't have to be my lover
It don't take that much to show me love
You'll never ever have to wonder
'Cause I always turn it out
[Refrain: Monét X Change]
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la la la) Turn it out
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la la la) T-turn it out
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la la la) Turn it out
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la la) Turn it out
[Bridge: Bob The Drag Queen, Monét X Change, Both]
Take these sponges, soak it up
I'm gonna laugh at the haters, joke it up
Take a brush to my eye and smoke it up
I'll sleep when I'm dead, is you woke enough?
Me and my crew, we writin' hits
Bad bitches only, no room for bricks
Make a couple G's, we do it just for kicks
Still can't come through? Time to call it quits
Sponges? Lit! Face? Beat!
I'm drivin' this car, you in the backseat
Purse first on these hoes, I'm gettin' ready
And I'll take you there 'cause I'm extra petty
I know you want a taste of this Brown Betty
So drop the balloons, release the confetti
I win, you lose, I'm Jason, you Freddy
Take this sponge to your face, you lookin' real sweaty
[Chorus: Monét X Change]
I, I
I'm feeling fierce and free, unbothered
I'm stepping out, I'm so unbothered
I'm getting coin, I'm so unbothered
I'm living, darling
[Post-Chorus: Monét X Change]
Let-let these bitches take my sponges, s-soak it up
Let-let these bitches take my sponges, s-soak it up
Let-let these bitches take my sponges, s-soak it up
Let-let these bitches take my sponges, s-soak it up
[Outro: Monét X Change, Spoken]
Hahaha! I told ya the sponges was lit, right?
Listen, when the girls come at you, honey
You gotta be a sponge, you...
Soak it up, turn it out, rinse it out, sweep the floor
Clean the kids, hehehehehe!
Give me my tens for my sponges!
Tens across the board, you bring it every ball
From Asia to Malaysia, Manila to Milan
From Kenya to Alaska to Venus and Beyond
Hahaha, read them bitches for filth!

Ok, so two things in this world that I love are Glee and disco. When Alex Newell started to produce those dance floor knockers… I was obsessed, hooked, signed, sealed and delivered! It was like if Sylvester grew up a mil...
