Hexed Up
Hard-hitting trap percussion meets distorted 808s, menacing synth leads, and chopped vocal samples. The verses are sparse, spotlighting assertive African American female vocals with bold cadence. The chorus explodes with layered backing vocals and percussive hits, while brief breakdowns use icy hi-hats and modulated bass for dynamic tension.

Lyrics
Yo
Ay
Ay
Ay
Hook
Hexed up, dressed up, cut like a blade (blade)
Every spell in my blood still begs to invade (Invade)
Hexed up, messed up, never afraid (afraid)
If the curse in my chest don’t kill, it obeys (it obeys)
Verse 1
Spit ash, I’m the match, set the stage on fire (yeah)
Chain heavy on my neck, but it lifts me higher (yuh)
Said I’d bow, but my knees don’t bend to liars (ay)
I’m the choir in the riot, I’m the ghost in the wires (uh)
Every bruise, every rune, yeah, it spells my name
Every scar’s like a sermon, every line’s a claim
Tried to bury me in silence, I just grew insane
Now I spit it like a prophecy, a gospel of pain
Hook
Hexed up, dressed up, cut like a blade (blade)
Every spell in my blood still begs to invade (Invade)
Hexed up, messed up, never afraid (afraid)
If the curse in my chest don’t kill, it obeys (it obeys)
Breakdown – screamed chant
Witch in my veins (yuh)
Blood in the frame (frame)
Rage in my jaw (raw)
Spell with no shame (right)
Witch in my veins (yuh)
Blood in the frame (uh)
Hexed up, hexed up
Say my name
(Say my name!)
Bridge – belted/rap spiral
Yeah, I’m marked by the fire, baptized in the smoke (smoke)
Every word that I spit is a chain that I broke (broke)
Every eye that denied me now chokes on the proof (proof)
I was raised in the wreckage, yeah, the pain is my roof (roof)
Final Hook – layered vocals, screamed/clean
Hexed up, dressed up, cut like a blade (blade)
Every spell in my blood still begs to invade (Invade)
Hexed up, messed up, never afraid (afraid)
If the curse in my chest don’t kill, it obeys (it obeys)
Outro – whispered over fading distortion
Hexed up, hexed up
Never afraid
