Ain’t shit anyway

🎤 “Ain’t Shit Anyway” 🎤

(DMX x Mary J. Blige-inspired)

⸻

Yo, I was ridin’ with you when you had nothin’,

Now you runnin’ round frontin’ like you really somethin’.

Broke-ass pride, can’t feed the kids with it,

You love the chase, but hate the commitment.

I shoulda read the signs, yeah, I shoulda seen it,

Now I’m stuck cleanin’ the mess from your demons.

You talk slick but can’t pay the rent,

All that big boy bark with a pocket full of lint.

And I ain’t bitter, I’m better—let’s get it clear,

I just wasted good years on a clown cavalier.

But now? Nah, you just a footnote in my story,

A has-been, a past-tense, a washed-out glory.

⸻

Ohhh, you ain’t shit anyway,

Tryna play a man, but you just in the way.

Ohhh, you ain’t shit anyway,

Talkin’ real loud but got nothin’ to say.

No, you ain’t, no you ain’t, no you ain’t.

Nooo, you ain’t shit anyway.

⸻

Dawg, you ain’t built for this—face it.

You ran when the crib got too real, too basic.

Bounced like a bad check, left me in the wreck,

Ten missed calls, couldn’t even send a text.

You a fraud in Fendi, a bum in Balenci’,

Got your kid askin’ why daddy won’t come get me.

Pathetic. A paycheck parent with no presence,

Talk big online, but show small in their essence.

You love to flex, but you broke at the soul,

Rotten heart in your chest where the veins won’t flow.

Yeah, I prayed for you once, but I’m good on that,

Now I just pray you don’t come back.

⸻

Ohhh, you ain’t shit anyway,

Tryna play a man, but you just in the way.

Ohhh, you ain’t shit anyway,

Talkin’ real loud but got nothin’ to say.

No, you ain’t, no you ain’t, no you ain’t.

Nooo, you ain’t shit anyway.

⸻

You can’t build a home with no backbone,

You can’t raise a child with your pride alone.

So keep your lies, keep your blame,

I’m done holdin’ space for your shame.

⸻

Ohhh, you ain’t shit anyway,

Tryna play a man, but you just in the way.

Ohhh, you ain’t shit anyway,

Talkin’ real loud but got nothin’ to say.

No, you ain’t, no you ain’t, no you ain’t.

Nooo, you ain’t shit anyway.
