Intro
Laundry mountain, laundry mountain
Verse 1
Three PM and the blinds still shut, ring light on the dresser Filming a get ready with me stepping over sweaters Cup from Tuesday on the nightstand, sticky ring beneath it Half a smoothie in the blender, been meaning to delete it Caption says "day in my life" but it's giving day in my wreckage Seven tops across the bed, can't decide so I just left it Told the camera I'm a young ho like it's funny, like it's quirky Laugh it off but my voice sound more tired than perky
Pre-chorus
This the part where I pretend it's cute Scroll to find a sound that match my mood
Chorus
Laundry mountain, laundry mountain Whole life piling and I lost the count and Laundry mountain, laundry mountain Funny till it's not, funny till it's not Whew
Verse 2
Best friend texts "I'm pulling up" no warning no emoji Panic hits me like a Publix receipt on grocery Sunday Shoving plates inside the oven, spraying Febreze on the couch Deleted screenshots from my ex before she walk in the house She step over three Amazon bags I ordered half asleep Look at my face and say "Girl when the last time that you eat?" Laughing but it sting cause the fridge got oat milk and regret Only thing I'm cooking lately's content I forget
Pre-chorus
This the part where I pretend it's cute But the algorithm never ask if I'm good
Chorus
Laundry mountain, laundry mountain Whole life piling and I lost the count and Laundry mountain, laundry mountain Funny till it's not, funny till it's not
Verse 3
Rewind to the lease I signed, twenty-two with grocery bags Freedom tasted like a Uber ride I couldn't really have First month felt like main character, second month the extra Breakup hit and young ho era was the only thing that let up Started filming every spiral like the views could fill the gap Three AM comparing kitchens on my phone until my neck cramp Inspo boards for lives I'm nowhere close to living Double tap on someone's morning routine while mine is missing
Bridge
I don't wanna be the joke forever I don't wanna be the joke When did messy stop being funny and start being just messy?
Verse 4
Put the phone down on the counter, face down, screen off Folded one shirt then another, didn't film it, didn't post Answered that email from my dentist, avoiding it since March Texted Keisha something honest, not a meme, not a screenshot One corner of the room look different, little bit of floor showing Funny how it shift your breathing when a small thing start going Don't need a glow-up montage, don't need a sound over it Just need a Tuesday where I'm living more than documenting
Verse 5
Room still got the pile by the closet, let me keep it real Dishes in the sink from last night, microwave still got the deal But the bed is made and I can see my desk for once this week And I called my mama back instead of sending her a reel You can still be loud and reckless, you can still be that girl You just can't worship dysfunction and expect to like your world Young ho era had its moment, got the content, got the clips But the soft life isn't filters, it's the stuff you never post
Chorus
Laundry mountain, laundry mountain. Whole life piling and I lost the count and. Laundry mountain, laundry mountain. Funny till it's not. But we cleaning up now.
Outro
Laundry mountain
Inside the recording
Laundry mountain, laundry mountain
This the part where I pretend it's cute Scroll to find a sound that match my mood
Laundry mountain
