Lyrics
[Intro]
Uh-huh
No explanation needed
[Verse 1]
I left your name unread beside the grocery list
Paid my own tab, put a shine on my wrist
You called with that voice like I owed you a seat
I said, “Take care,” then I went back to my beat
Your promises expire like milk in the fridge
I don’t cross that bridge, I don’t stand on the ridge
Got plans in my phone and cash in my hand
My peace got a price—you don’t meet the demand
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that look, I know that line
But your little emergency ain’t mine
[Chorus]
Better the devil you know
No, I’d rather be alone
Better the devil you know
Still, I’m good on the throne
I don’t need a man to validate me
I don’t need a man to educate me
Better the devil you know
I know myself, and I’m home
[Verse 2]
You thought I’d fold when you stopped coming through
I changed the locks and the whole point of view
Now my friends at the table, plates full of rice
Laughing at the texts that were never that nice
I’m not bitter, I’m booked, got a calendar packed
You can keep that old game, I don’t want it back
Love can be sweet, but it’s not my ID
I’m the headline, baby, not your accessory
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that look, I know that line
But your little emergency ain’t mine
[Chorus]
Better the devil you know
No, I’d rather be alone
Better the devil you know
Still, I’m good on the throne
I don’t need a man to validate me
I don’t need a man to educate me
Better the devil you know
I know myself, and I’m home
[Bridge]
Who pays the bills? Me
Who makes the call? Me
Who keeps the promise? Me
Who catches the fall? Me
No rescue story, no waiting room
I brought my flowers, I filled the room
[Final Chorus]
Better the devil you know
No, I’d rather be alone
Better the devil you know
Still, I’m good on the throne
I don’t need a man to validate me
I don’t need a man to educate me
Better the devil you know
I know myself, and I’m home
[Outro]
No hard feelings, just no feelings owed
I know myself, and I’m home

Style
Confident contemporary hip-hop with a Black women rap ensemble, assertive lead rap vocals, playful call-and-response ad-libs, punchy kick and snare, thick sub-bass, crisp hats, sparse minor-key keys, and a polished club-ready mix. Build from a stripped verse into a commanding hook, add a brief breakdown with stacked responses, then finish with a decisive final chorus. The attitude is witty, self-possessed, and dismissive of romantic drama; keep the flow rhythmic and conversational with strong diction.

Prompt
I want it to be black women rap. With the exact words “Better the devil you know”. I also want it to be about not needing to care about men.
