Ever feel like a pawn in someone else’s chess game? Karmin’s catchy beat is a sharp retaliation against manipulative puppeteers. Our protagonist is done being the cash cow and playing the fool. Wrapped in sugar yet bitter to the core, every scheme and sweet-talking façade is seen for what it truly is— a raw deal. They’re calling out the charades, demanding transparency amid the fluff. Hustling for honesty, they've flipped the script, asking the pivotal question we all should when entangled in shady dealings: “What's in it for me?” With lyrical sass and spunky defiance, Karmin strikes a chord that resonates with anyone tired of the double-crossing drama.
What's in It for Me
Lyrics
Doesn't matter how you sell me
I am just another number
Even when it's not for money
Use me like a cash register
You fool me once fool me twice, but the ends don't meet, no
Do you really think I'm dumb, dumb
I wanna know how you figure
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff
Never really had to play this
Feeling out my alter ego
Hustling to your agenda
No gracias, mi amigo
You fool me once fool me twice, but the ends don't meet
Do you really think I'm dumb, dumb
Watch me go Evel Knievel
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff
Every time you call up, I'mma put my wall up
Always a dilemma with the drama that you drum up
Even the bologna, part of your persona
Traded me a dollar for a floor of Smithsoneon
Undecided of whether you got it down yet
Undivided attention to how your brow sweats
How can I trust you, I'll be losing all bets
It's gamble, I don't wanna pull yet
Paying me in jelly, beans in the belly
When you get nervous I can tell by the smelly
Do me Blue Bonnet, butter me up on it
You can toast love notes, I can burn sonnets
It's apparent I needed to say no
Throw a karat of diamonds on the floor
How can I trust you, all you want is more
I gotta bust you, this means war
You come around here flipping your tricks
I'm letting down my wall my bricks
Least you can do is riddle me this
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
Doesn't matter how much you sugar the fluff
