Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You say you on your own
But he still at the school
He still at the games
He still paying the bill
You got the help in reach
Got the forms in the drawer
Got the checks in the mail
Still sayin’ you want more
Ain’t sayin’ it’s easy
Ain’t sayin’ it’s fair
Just don’t paint it solo
When the father right there
If he show up and provide
Then tell it like that
Don’t sell that picture
Like he vanished off the map
[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you mean
Keep it clean
Don’t flip the scene
For the sheen
If it’s shared, it’s shared
If it’s split, let it breathe
Don’t call it alone
When it ain’t on me
[Chorus]
By your self?
By your self? (by your self)
By your self?
Don’t call it that
By your self?
By your self? (by your self)
By your self?
Tell it straight, don’t cap
[Verse 2]
Programs in the mix
That’s part of the plan
Child support help
That’s still part of the hand
Section 8 roof
And the aid on the side
That don’t make you fake
It just tells the whole ride
Men need support too
That part stay quiet
Fathers in the trenches
Still nobody’s bias
I’m just speaking facts
Not trying to start war
If he in the kids life
Then say what it is for
[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you mean
Keep it clean
Don’t flip the scene
For the sheen
If it’s shared, it’s shared
If it’s split, let it breathe
Don’t call it alone
When it ain’t on me
[Chorus]
By your self?
By your self? (by your self)
By your self?
Don’t call it that
By your self?
By your self? (by your self)
By your self?
Tell it straight, don’t cap
[Bridge]
Maybe both sides hurting
Maybe both sides tired
Maybe keep it real
Don’t let pride catch fire
If he’s there for the kids
Then the truth don’t bend
Name the whole picture
Let the story land
[Final Chorus]
By your self?
By your self? (by your self)
By your self?
Don’t call it that
By your self?
By your self? (by your self)
By your self?
Tell it straight, don’t cap
By your self?
By your self? (by your self)
By your self?
Tell it straight, don’t cap

Style
Boom-bap hip-hop with a mid-tempo head-nod groove, dusty kick-snare swing, fat bass line, and tight rim clicks; verse rides sparse drums and a filtered piano loop, pre-chorus pulls back to just bass and snaps, chorus hits with stacked doubles and a chanty hook. Add vinyl crackle, reverse swell into the hook, and short delay throws on the key phrase. Close-mic lead, gritty and upfront, with ad-lib echoes and a punchy, warm mix.

I’m tired of some women saying they are a single parent when the father is in the kids life. You say you doing by your self but you on programs, assistant,child support, section 8, no help for men
