[Intro – spoken/whispered over beat building]
Yeah, he used to call me “Shuffles”
Made it sound so sweet...
But he was the one thats always shuffling
Let’s talk about that.
[Verse 1 – Rap]
He called me Shuffles, like I’m some thief
But he’s the one with shit up his sleeve
No respect for boundaries or anything
Pop a Xanax, then gaslight me
Every line I drew — he crossed it
Every “please don’t” — he mocked it
My kid’s asleep in the room next door
He’s loud as hell, just don't care for sure
I ain’t askin’ too much
but maybe a Little compassion
use some common sense ,dont pretend you don't know what I'm asking
[Pre-Chorus – melodic pop vocals]
Told him, “Don’t do that here, it’s not okay”
He laughed like my words don't mean a thing
And every fight turns into blame
why must I live in shame
[Chorus – Rock belt, powerful]
He said I always tear him down, appreciate nothing
But he’s the one that’s always upset over something
Always has an excuse for things when they are bad
Breaking trust but playing nice
While he’s high once again and gambling
He called me “Shuffles,” made it sound so sweet
But he’s the one always gaslighting
You can’t hide from the truth too long
You were the problem all along
[Verse 2 – Rap with intensity]
He had all the rules — for me
But none for the way that he should be
Claimed he was busy working, always stressed
But always had time to make a mess
He'd say
" Be right back " then goes all over the place
But if I go out? Wont give the same grace
He talks respect but give me the same
You can’t love someone and treat them this way
Told you once, I meant that line
Don’t take that shit when my son’s inside
But you did, again, like “what’s the fuss?”
Guess your pills mean more than us
[Bridge – half sung, half rapped]
I won't be treated like this anymore
If things cant change theres nothing left to fight for
I won’t drag you down and curse your name
For all that's wrong we share equal blame
[Chorus – Rock belt with backing vocals]
He said I always tear him down and , appreciate nothing
But he’s the one that’s always upset over a something
Always has an excuse for things when they are bad
Breaking trust but playing nice
While he’s high once again and gambling
He called me “Shuffles,” made it sound so sweet
But he’s the one always gaslighting
You can’t hide from the truth too long
You were the problem all along
[Outro – slow vocal fade with electric guitar swell]
Say what you want — but I see clear now
losing you was once my greatest fear
Call me “Shuffles” — I don’t care anymore
I no longer can justify the way you are
