Eat Sh*t first

Verse 1:

Clockin’ in before the damn sun wakes

Already know it’s more than I can take

Radio buzzin’ with “where you at?”

Whole damn crew just slackin’ back

Got a route that should be split in two

But guess who they hand the extra to

“Handle it”—yeah that’s my curse

‘Cause I’m the one that eats shit first

Pre-Chorus:

They gave me a title, said I earned that shirt

But all it really means is I eat shit first

Chorus:

Yeah I eat sh*t first so they don’t have to

Carry their load and my own shit too

Every late stop, every pissed-off call

Guess who’s standin’ there takin’ it all

Yeah I cuss, yeah I burn, yeah I damn near snap

But I hold this whole thing on my back

Ain’t a perk, ain’t a raise, just a whole lotta hurt

Yeah that “team lead” means you eat sh*t first

Verse 2:

Missed calls stackin’ up on my phone

“Where you at?”—hell, I should be home

But I’m coverin’ routes for ghosts again

Pickin’ up slack for “part-time friends”

They clock out clean, don’t think twice

While I’m still out here payin’ the price

Back roads twist like a knife in dirt

Yeah I’m the one that eats sh*t first

Pre-Chorus 2:

You can have the title, you can have the fame

Don’t mean a damn when it’s all the same

Chorus (repeat)

Bridge (break it down → build):

Some days I wanna drop these keys

Say “y’all can deal with it, I’m free”

Let it all fall, let it all burn

Let somebody else take a turn

But I know damn well how that’d go

They’d be callin’ me back before the sun gets low

Final Chorus (bigger):

Yeah I eat shit first so they don’t have to

Keep this whole damn circus runnin’ like I do

Every late stop, every slammed door

I’m the one they keep comin’ back for

Yeah I’m worn, I’m tired, yeah I’m feelin’ cursed

But I’m still standin’, even at my worst

Ain’t a perk, ain’t a raise, just a whole lotta hurt

Yeah that “team lead” means you eat shit first
