lyrics

(would be a lie)

There are six of us and four are actually related
And the label sent a contract with one name on the front
And a man on a call explained that this is how it works
And my cousin laughed so hard she had to leave the room

A solo credit (a solo credit)
Would be a lie, a solo credit
On every track, a solo credit
A solo credit

Would be a lie, be a lie, would be a lie
That harmony is Nia and it always has been
Would be a lie, be a lie, would be a lie
You cannot put one name on a sound made by six

They offered more money for the one name. Considerably more.
We took it to my aunty's kitchen and we voted on it.
Six to nothing. It took about four minutes. Nobody hesitated.
(BAND RETURNS, FULL)

Would be a lie, be a lie, would be a lie
That harmony is Nia and it always has been
Would be a lie, be a lie, would be a lie
You cannot put one name on a sound made by six

(six to nothing...)
