Inbox Affair

A parody of Family Affair by Mary J. Blige

A high-energy anthem about ditching bad sending habits and embracing list hygiene, engagement-based sending, and proper opt-in permission. The narrator celebrates the relief of trimming dead weight from their list and sending only to subscribers who actually want to hear from them.

Verse 1
Come on, everybody, line on up
'Cause you know we gots to send it right
I was pushin' full base every night
Tryna make it feel alright (Make it feel alright)
Come on, metrics never set me free
Let go, now I'm sendin' honestly (Oh)
Leave bad advice out at the door
So when I hit send, I stress no more
Chorus
Let's get it cleaned up on (Let's get cleaned up on)
Send right up on up in this sendery
We got lists open, now they opt-in
So you gots to send with me
Don't need no shortcut-ation
List abuse in this sendery (No, no, no, no)
Let's get it percolatin', while you're waitin'
So just send clean mail
Verse 2
Ooh, it's only gonna be about a matter of time
Before I let go and clear my mind
Trimmed my list, go 'head and let them slide
'Cause we celebratin' no more stress in our life
No more tricks runnin', everybody's honest
Inbox love got my numbers bumpin'
I told you, "Leave bad habits at the door"
So I send the mail they asked me for
Chorus
Let's get it cleaned up on
Send right up on up in this sendery
We got lists open, now they opt-in
So you gots to send with me
Don't need no shortcut-ation
List abuse in this sendery
Let's get it percolatin', while you're waitin'
So just send clean mail
Bridge
We don't need no bad tips (No, we don't need those)
We're just tryna respect one another (Respect)
We just want mail they wanna receive (Mhm)
No more drama in our stats (Mmm-mmm, no)
Worked real hard to build this trust
If they don't engage, that's fine with us (No, that's fine)
Leave all that noise outside (We)
We're gonna send it clean tonight (All night)
Let's send right tonight, no fights
Turn that relevance way up high (Turn it up, turn it up)
Sendin' mail that feels right and I (All night long)
Got that calm control this time (So smooth, boy)
It doesn't matter B2B or B2C (Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
Let's send clean 'cause we're back
Chorus / Outro – full lock
Let's get it cleaned up on (Let's get cleaned up on)
Send right up on up in this sendery (In this sendery)
We got lists open, now they opt-in
So you gots to send with me (So you gotta send with me)
Don't need no shortcut-ation (Send with me)
List abuse in this sendery (Send with me)
Let's get it percolatin', while you're waitin' (Let's get it, let's get it, let's get it)
So just send clean mail
Let's get it cleaned up on (Send with me)
Send right up on up in this sendery (Let's get cleaned up on)
We got lists open, now they opt-in (All I want y'all to do)
So you gots to send with me (Is just send, just send)
Don't need no shortcut-ation (C'mon, c'mon)
List abuse in this sendery (C'mon, c'mon)
Let's get it percolatin', while you're waitin'
So just send clean mail
Let's get it cleaned up on
Send right up on up in this sendery (Oh, yeah)
We got lists open, now they opt-in
So you gots to send with me (You gotta send with me)
Don't need no shortcut-ation (Just send with me)
List abuse in this sendery (Just send with me)
Let's get it percolatin', while you're waitin' (Send with me, send with me, send with me, yeah)
So just send clean mail
