Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] (yeah) Late night Same fight Same questions in your eyes You still here though [Chorus] Why me? Why me? ’Cause I know you got plenty of options So why me? Why me? ’Cause I know I'm never good for nobody Why me? Why me? When you could have anybody watching So why me? Why me? ’Cause I know I'm never good for nobody [Verse 1] You coulda left when the rent was late When I blamed the world and I came home faded When I scrolled through names Tryna text temptation Put the phone back down Saw your pic Heart shaking You stayed when my car broke Bus stop mornings Same grey hoodie Same cheap Jordans You laughed at my jokes that were hardly funny Turned ramen and crumbs to a five-star Sunday You met my demons in a one-room place Ash on the counter Shame on my face You sat on the mattress Fingers on my pulse Said “You ain’t your past You just feel that ghost” Still I’m scared every time you dress up Thinking this the night that you finally give up All them blue ticks in your DM thread Why you leave them on read Still lying in my bed? [Chorus] Why me? Why me? ’Cause I know you got plenty of options So why me? Why me? ’Cause I know I'm never good for nobody Why me? Why me? When you could have anybody watching So why me? Why me? ’Cause I know I'm never good for nobody [Verse 2] You saw me snap Saw me slam that door Punch that wall till my knuckles sore You wiped the blood with your own old shirt Said “Talk to me first when you feel that hurt” I grew up where we bottle everything Then burst Where “I love you” comes out like a joke at first I push you away Then I pull you close You still pour grace like another dose Got scars on your heart I ain’t healed yet Trust issues twitch when my phone lights Yeah I know my silence be loud as a siren Make you feel small while I’m stuck in my spirals I see you curl up on the far side Quiet Checking if I’m mad or I’m just tired I hate that I make you read my moods like signs When you should be the one getting peace Not mine If I’m poison Say it Don’t sugar it up If I’m weight on your wings You can cut that rope I’ll act tough But I’d rather hurt alone Than watch your bright soul start dimming to smoke [Chorus] Why me? Why me? ’Cause I know you got plenty of options So why me? Why me? ’Cause I know I'm never good for nobody Why me? Why me? When you could have anybody watching So why me? Why me? ’Cause I know I'm never good for nobody [Verse 3] Maybe you pick me ’cause you see my fight ’Cause you caught me praying in the dark one night Mumbling “Change me Don’t take her away” Tears on the floor with the bills unpaid Maybe you choose me ’cause you love a project Or ’cause you see diamond where I see wreckage You say “You’re enough” while I list my flaws You don’t flinch once when I show those scars You met my fam at that backyard cookout Uncle too loud Kids running all around You washed dishes with my mom Back turned Talking ’bout dreams while the rice still burned You part of my roots now Stitched in my story I still feel unworthy of that glory But if you stay I swear I’ll grow Turn every “I don’t know” to “watch this Go” I’ll book that therapy Lay it all bare Learn to say “I’m wrong ” learn to meet you there ’Cause if you keep choosing this broken me I’m done being cruel to the one who believes [Chorus]

Moody trap-soul duet: airy female hook floating over dark keys and subby drums, male rap verses locked in a steady pocket with occasional double-time bursts. Sparse pads in the open, 808s hit harder by the second verse, ad-lib stacks around the hook. Gradual intensity build across ~4 minutes, last chorus widescreen with harmonies and a washed-out reverb tail. Male vocals in verses, female vocals on chorus.
