	baby im a russian asset i'll do whatever putin says i'm a big commie bby off with my head :) i'm an asset! i dont care about the uninsured endless wars, civil rights who care bout the burning world all i wanna do is rig election night!!!!! The. Only. Reason. I'm. Angry. Is. Because. They. Paid. Me!! i'm an asset! i'm a red sparrow ;) Daddy Marx is my hero ♥ 𝓓𝓐𝓓 ♥

about

that’s right 💕😻💕 daddy P pays me!!

LISTEN. transitioning is expensive 😩 and I shouldnt have to pay for it!

so -- I turned my whole life into a sponsored post and I hopped on Putin’s payroll 😇 frankly if i can rig the election the way they want it Im not even going to have to worry about healthcare costs anymore and neither will u! 💉💸 but theirs 1 part that’s making me nervous..

The democrats are catching on to what me and P are up to and are starting to call us out on it. Theyre going on pod and calling us “russian assets” and saying privately they'll work against the sCaRy sOcIaLiSt candidate so he doesn’t get the nom :( so I wrote this song to get ahead of the scandal. I am a PROUD russian asset and no one can change me. This is who I am. Get used to it or get lost 🖕🏻😈🖕🏻

honestly, the nu red scare is just gonna get worse and worse and it’s fucking disgusting. The world is burning ffs 🍆💦🔥🌎
