INTRO — whispered grit What if I did you like you do me… Would you fold, would you break, would you call that “loyalty”… Yeah… let’s talk about it. VERSE 1 — slow burn, surgical truth You love my patience ’til it’s pointed at you, You love my silence ’til it’s naming the truth. You love my strength when it’s holding you up, But call me “different” when I finally get fed up. I been the backbone, the lifeline, the steady, Carried weight for people who ain’t never been ready. You take my kindness like a free‑to‑use key, But you’d crumble in a second if you lived like me. I move with grace, you move with excuse, I give you clarity, you give me abuse. And every time I rise, you rewrite the scene — But what if I did you like you do me. HOOK — chant‑ready, crowd‑shaker What if I did you like you do me, Left you on read when you needed relief. What if I matched all the energy you bring, Would you still call it love, would you still call it “we.” What if I did you like you do me, Pulled back the curtain so the whole world could see. You wouldn’t last a day in the life I breathe — So don’t you ever try to question how I leave. VERSE 2 — testimony sharpened You want devotion but you give me delay, You want forgiveness but you never repay. You want my loyalty like it’s built in the code, But you ain’t walked a single mile of my road. I been the healer, the cover, the shield, You been the taker who refuses to yield. You love my heart when it’s working for free, But you’d drown in the deep if you swam like me. I learned to love without losing my name, I learned to rise without carrying blame. And now I’m done letting guilt set me free — ’Cause what if I did you like you do me. HOOK — bigger, louder What if I did you like you do me, Left you on read when you needed relief. What if I matched all the energy you bring, Would you still call it love, would you still call it “we.” What if I did you like you do me, Pulled back the curtain so the whole world could see. You wouldn’t last a day in the life I breathe — So don’t you ever try to question how I leave. BRIDGE — reflective, floating Maybe you thought I’d stay small for your comfort, Maybe you thought I’d break down for your pride. But I’m built different — I’m built from the thunder, And I don’t shrink just to keep you satisfied. OUTRO — final cut So if you ever wonder why I move how I move, Just remember: I learned it from you. And if you ever feel the sting of my peace — That’s just me doing you like you do me.
