Do It Your Damn Self

Do It Your Damn Self” Still Shine [Intro] (Spoken) Lemme save y’all some time… Don’t help me. Don’t offer. Don’t volunteer. ’Cause apparently every favor come with a TED Talk six months later. (808 drops) [Verse 1] You held one door… Now you Saint Peter? Bought one lunch… Now you the damn leader? Loaned me twenty… Need a parade? You actin’ like you sponsored my whole damn life today. Soon as we argue… Here come the list. “I did this… I did that…” Baby, who asked for this? Thought it was love… Turns out receipts. You keep spreadsheets On everybody you meet. [Pre-Chorus] Nah… Keep your favors. Keep your speeches too. I can struggle just as good Without owing you. [Hook] I’ll do it my damn self… Matter fact… Don’t touch nothin’. Need a ride? I’ll crawl. Need a hand? I’ll grow one. Need advice? I’ll argue with myself… At least I know That bitch ain’t tellin’ everybody else. Do it yourself… Do it alone… Can’t throw it in my face If I built it on my own. (Ha!) [Verse 2] Y’all don’t help… Y’all invest. Then expect returns With accumulated interest. You ain’t generous… You got subscriptions. Soon as I cancel… Now I’m the villain. “I was there for you…” Congratulations. Want a trophy? Or a participation station? You gave one favor… Now you own stock? Baby… Sell them shares… ’Cause this company closed. [Bridge] Next time life kick my ass… I’ma tell life, “Hold on… Lemme disappoint six people By not asking for help.” (laughing) Matter fact… Google got me. YouTube University got me. ChatGPT got me. God got me. Everybody else… Application denied. [Final Hook] I’ll do it my damn self… Need a hug? I’ll hug this hoodie. Need to vent? Bathroom mirror. Need encouragement? “I got you, girl.” See? Free therapy. Y’all be helpin’ With invisible contracts. Read the fine print… Interest rates attached. So keep your favors… Keep your guilt… I’d rather build it slow Than let you say “You only got here because of me.” [Outro] (Spoken) And if you ever hear me ask for help… Somebody check my temperature… ’Cause I clearly got the flu. 🤧😂
