On my life
I know for sure
We’ve entered a puppet show
Got my guard up, watch my back
Straight ahead, no turning back

Could say I can take no more
But it’d do no good at all
I could try to walk away
Or just win the game they play

So
Should we go
Should we go
Should we go right now, see

Let ‘em know
Let ‘em know
I’ll be new in town

Oh
Should we go
Should we go
Should we go right now, see

Let ‘em know
Let ‘em know
I’m ‘a tear shit down

Look at me with the drop top back
Watchin’ with your mouth open
In the Valley Of Dolls

Baby Look Me
With the pom poms
Tricked ‘em out, make you like me
I’m in the Valley Of Dolls

I’m not half that star
But I got more stats
‘Cause uh, I just know where to go

You know where you are now, you know where you are
Don’t you know you Living in the valley of the dolls
The valley of the dolls

Open eyes, not like before
Watch them wind up more and more
Rip the tethers from their back
Simulates a heart attack

Jaws all dropped down to the floor
Not like us, cause an uproar
Well it seems they’re on to me
Dolls don’t fuck wit a queen bee

Oh
Should we go
Should we go
Should we go right now, see

Let ‘em know
Let ‘em know
I’ll be new in town

Say
Should we go
Should we go
Should we go right now, see

Let ‘em know
Let ‘em know
I’m ‘a tear shit down

Look at me with the drop top back
Watchin with your mouth open
In the valley of dolls

Baby Look Me
With the pom poms
Tricked ‘em out, make you like me
I’m in the valley of dolls

I’m not half that star
But I got more stats
‘cause, uh, I just know where to go

You know where you are now, you know where you are
Don’t you know you Living in the valley of the dolls
The valley of the dolls

Even I can’t pass through the valley of the dolls
Without cursing to myself the day I came, the day I came
Even I can’t pass throughout the valley of the dolls
Throughout the valley of the dolls
And be the same, and be the same

Look at me with the drop top back
Watchin with your mouth open
In the valley of dolls

Baby Look Me
With the pom poms
Tricked ‘em out, make you like me
I’m in the valley of dolls

I’m not half that star
But I got more stats
‘cause, uh, I just know where to go

You know where you are now, you know where you are
Don’t you know you living in the valley of the dolls
The valley of the dolls

Santi White (born September 25, 1976), better known by her stage name Santigold (formerly Santogold), is an American singer, songwriter, and producer. Her debut album Santogold was released to positive reviews in 2008. Her second album Master of My Make-Believe was released in April 2012.

As a solo project with a revolving door of members, the heart and face of Santigold is vivacious frontwoman Santi White. White and John Hill, her former counterpart from ska-punk band Stiffed, use their common backgrounds as production-savvy musicians to make bombastic, bass-oriented songs that fuse punk, reggae, grime, and indie rock with electro.

Little known fact is Santigold’s involvement in the music scene before she was Santigold. Here Black Thought and Dice Raw tell us how they knew her back in the day.
