Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Pulled up, same spot, y’all together again He got you laughin’ on the surface, I can see through the grin You play it off like you love it, but your eyes say “I don’t” He raise his voice in the crowd, you just smile and go home He talk slick, you shrink down, I’m just watchin’ my friend Thinkin’ how you deserve better than a boy playin’ pretend Yeah he my bro, that’s my dog, so I bite on my tongue But every time he walks away, I’m tryna pick you back up [Chorus] I can’t help but wait For you and your man to finally break Shoulda known from the jump, girl, that was a mistake He my boy, you his girl, that’s the rule that we made But I hate the way he talks to you Hate the way you always play it cool When you ready, I’ma slide, tell you straight I can’t help but wait [Verse 2] He leave you hangin’ every time that you need him the most You call my phone, say you “fine,” but your voice gettin’ low You got your hair done, new nails, new dress for the night He show up late, scrollin’ screens, don’t even look at you twice I’m on the side, tryna hide how I’m feelin’ inside ’Cause every hug that he waste, I’m tryna give you that pride He crack jokes, cross the line, and you laugh just to cope I’m in the back thinkin’ “Damn, girl, that’s killin’ your glow” [Chorus] I can’t help but wait For you and your man to finally break Shoulda known from the jump, girl, that was a mistake He my boy, you his girl, that’s the rule that we made But I hate the way he talks to you Hate the way you always play it cool When you ready, I’ma slide, tell you straight I can’t help but wait [Bridge] If he ever slip, ever trip, ever walk out that door (walk out that door) Promise I won’t let you ever feel that low anymore Til then I’m keepin’ my distance, keep it all in my chest But you know where I’m at if you want somethin’ better than this [Chorus] I can’t help but wait For you and your man to finally break Shoulda known from the jump, girl, that was a mistake He my boy, you his girl, that’s the rule that we made But I hate the way he talks to you Hate the way you always play it cool When you ready, I’ma slide, tell you straight I can’t help but wait

rap, Sparse minor-key trap beat with warm sub bass and crisp hats; intimate male vocals sitting close to the mic. Verses conversational, almost whispered, then chorus widens with stacked doubles and soft harmonies. Occasional filtered delays on key lines, hook hits with a subtle bass drop and extra clap layer.
