"Don't Take My Kids From Me"[]
In 2007, Langston recorded a parody of Spears' song "Piece Of Me", in which she mocks Spears, titled, "Don’t Take My Kids From Me”[1]. It would later resurface and receive criticism from Britney's fans.
In an AMA with BreatheHeavy in 2020, Myah addressed the cover:[2]
This "Piece Of Me" parody that I did 13 years ago, by the way. So 17, when I did this, I did this before they hired me, you guys! I was doing parodies for fun! Because I was bored, I was a kid, and I was making light of the situation. I'm a huge Britney fan, you guys know being in the Britney fandom, we all poke fun, and we have fun, and we joke; come on! Just because I put it out, it didn't mean I had ill intentions. If anything, I was making light of the situation and showing how ridiculous everybody was being. A parody is creative license, I'm a creative person. Her team didn't have a problem with it, obviously. So, you know, it is what it is. I won't apologise because I didn't do anything with ill intentions. I wasn't coming for her, I'm obviously a huge fan, we all say stuff.
Lyrics[]
I was Miss preteen wet dream when I was seventeen
I lip-sync and pretended to sing
Got breast implants and a wedding ring
I flashed all my privates, they put pictures in the magazines
Don't take the kids from me
Don't take the kids from me
I started hittin' the bottle, lost all the titles of role model
Hitched in Vegas, forgot it
Did all the things that I wanted
And with a kid in the car don't need a seatbelt or protection
Don't take the kids from me
Don't take the kids from me
I'm Mrs lifestyles of the hicks and trailers
Don't take the kids from me
I'm Mrs „Oh my God, that hair, she shaved it"
(Don't take the kids from me)
I'm Mrs now I have a double chin
(Don't take the kids from me)
I'm Mrs "Don't we miss when she was thin?"
(Don't take the kids from me)
I'm Mrs don't take the kids from me
Try then, pissing me off
I'll take an umbrella to your car
Just try flippin' me off
And now we're gonna make a scene
And I won't show up to court
Now are you sure you'll take the kids from me?
(Don't take the kids from me)
I'm Mrs most likely to walk around naked in the shopping mall
Doesn't matter 'cause I'll do a line or two to forget it all
No wonder there's panic in the industry, I mean please
Don't take the kids from me
(Don't take the kids from me)
I'm Mrs lifestyles of the hicks and trailers
Don't take the kids from me
I'm Mrs „Oh my God, that hair, she shaved it"
(Don't take the kids from me)
I'm Mrs now I have a double chin
(Don't take the kids from me)
I'm Mrs "Don't we miss when she was thin?"
(Don't take the kids from me)
I'm Mrs preteen wet dream, when I was seventeen
It matters when I walk with bare feet
And leave my kids with whomever's free
Aren't they sick of the pictures of my privates in the magazines?
Don't take the kids from me
I'm Mrs lifestyles of the hicks and trailers
Don't take the kids from me
I'm Mrs „Oh my God, that hair, she shaved it"
(Don't take the kids from me)
I'm Mrs now I have a double chin
(Don't take the kids from me)
I'm Mrs "Don't we miss when she was thin?"
(Don't take the kids from me)
