[Chorus]
You don't know how sick you make me
You make me fucking✦ sick to my stomach✦
Every✦ time I think of you, I puke
You must just not kno-o-o-o-o-o-ow
You may not think you do, but you do
Every✦ time I think of you, I puke
[Verse 2]
I was gonna✦ take the time to sit down and write you a little letter✦
But I thought a song would probably✦ be a little better✦
Instead✦ of a letter✦ that you'd probably✦ just shred up, yeah
I stumbled on your picture yesterday and it made me stop and think of
How much of a waste it'd be for me to put some ink to, a stupid piece of
Paper,✦ I'd rather✦ let you see how
Much I fucking✦ hate you in a freestyle
You're a fucking✦ cokehead,✦ slut, I hope you fucking✦ die
I hope you get to hell and Satan✦ sticks a needle in your eye
I hate your fucking✦ guts, you fucking✦ slut, I hope you die (Di-i-i-i-i-i-ie)
But please don't get me wrong, I'm not bitter✦ or mad
It's not that I still love you, it's not 'cause I want you back
It's just that when I think of you it makes me wanna✦ yack (A-a-a-a-a-a-ack)
But what else can I do? I haven't got a clue
Now I guess I'll just move on, I have no choice but to
But every✦ time I think of you now all I wanna✦ do is pu-u-u-u-u-u-uke
[Chorus]
You don't know how sick you make me
You make me fucking✦ sick to my stomach✦
Every✦ time I think of you, I puke
You must just not kno-o-o-o-o-o-ow
You may not think you do, but you do
Every✦ time I think of you, I puke
[Outro]
Ah, damn
Fucking✦ bitch

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
The verse prioritizes raw, visceral emotional catharsis over lyrical complexity, utilizing a repetitive, aggressive cadence to mirror the titular physical illness.

Delivery
Internal rhyme chainsStretched syllabic delivery for emphasisConversational flowRepetitive motif integration
Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AABB or AAAA-style end-rhyme couplets heavily augmented by internal multisyllabic clusters (e.g., 'letter/better/shred up', 'think of/ink to').
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"put some ink to, a stupid piece of / Paper"
① The physical act of writing a letter to an ex-partner.② A dismissive deconstruction of the medium itself, positioning the song as a superior vessel for the artist's vitriol compared to the 'paper' mentioned.
Consistent thematic focus
Effective use of vocal modulation to convey disgust
Strong technical anchoring of end-rhymes
Low lexical variety
Lack of complex metaphors or figurative language
Relies on repetitive shock value rather than intricate wordplay
