Two years following the success of her 2019 EP Hi, It’s Me, Ashnikko delivers “Toxic,” a “power anthem” about being proud of ones accomplishments despite the haters. Alongside other power anthems on this album, this single is meant to contend against the men in the music industry who think that they...
[Intro]
Yo, mmm
[Chorus]
You can't stand to see me shine, better buy a visor
You don't ever cross my mind, what's a sheep to a tiger?
On your horse so high, swear to God I'm higher
Know you're beggin' for a dime, I'ma throw you a fiver
Beggin' for it, beggin' for it, beggin' for some relevance
As soon as I pull up on you, scare you like a skeleton
You can't stand to see me shine, better buy a visor
You don't ever cross my mind, what's a sheep to a tiger?
[Verse 1]
Leeches, leechin', wanna juice me, peaches
All eyes on me, peepers, you all jeepers creepеrs
Call me a fuckin' diva, I'm an overachievеr
I'm a knockout, anesthesia, give me a breather
[Pre-Chorus]
Heard the gossip, heard a rumor
That you said you made me who I am
You think you're the man
You're so toxic, like Britney bitch
I drop you just because I can
You think you're the man, bitch please
[Chorus]
You can't stand to see me shine, better buy a visor
You don't ever cross my mind, what's a sheep to a tiger?
On your horse so high, swear to God I'm higher
Know you're beggin' for a dime, I'ma throw you a fiver
Beggin' for it, beggin' for it, beggin' for some relevance
As soon as I pull up on you, scare you like a skeleton
You can't stand to see me shine, better buy a visor
You don't ever cross my mind, what's a sheep to a tiger?
[Verse 2]
Self-made, self-paid, how dare you speak my name?
Where were you yesterday? So lame that I'm your only claim to fame
No way, cliché, you grown man playin' games
I'm on pointe like ballet, you three-headed snake
[Pre-Chorus]
Heard the gossip, heard a rumor
That you said you made me who I am
You think you're the man
You're so toxic, like Britney bitch
I drop you just because I can
You think you're the man
[Chorus]
Beggin' for it, beggin' for it, beggin' for some relevance
As soon as I pull up on you, scare you like a skeleton
You can't stand to see me shine, better buy a visor
You don't ever cross my mind, what's a sheep to a tiger?
Toxic was written by Ashnikko & Kelly Kiara & Slinger.
Toxic was produced by Slinger.
As a woman in music, I have definitely encountered a lot of toxic men. I always find it really difficult when people, especially men, are like, “I made you who you are.” It’s like, “No, actually, I worked extremely hard and you helped me with a lot of things, but I made this music.” The unnamed man...
