Lyrics
Verse 1
Yo, here at your beck and call, ain't that the truth?
But feelin' like my worth is worthless, proof
After proof, stackin' up, this ain't no booth
Confession, just facts, spillin' from my youth,
To now, yeah, seems my worth is worthless at all.
Chorus
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Echoes in the silence of the heart)
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Head shakin')
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Just this shit...)
Verse 2
Only call me when you need somethin' urgent, see,
Like the sky is fallin', emergency.
But if I was dyin', sprawled out, beggin', plea,
You'd prob'ly leave me The Rot, for all the world to see.
(Uh huh, that's the vibe I get, low)
Chorus
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Echoes in the silence of the heart)
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Head shakin')
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Just this shit...)
Verse 3
I love you more than I loved anybody in my life, no cap,
Poured my soul out, caught in your love trap.
But that means nothin' to you, just more pain and strife,
Like my heart's a weapon, and you wield it like a knife.
(Stab, stab, twist it, real slow)
Chorus
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Echoes in the silence of the heart)
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Head shakin')
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Just this shit...)
Verse 4
How many more emergencies do I gotta fix? This ain't a game,
Before you see I'm solid, whisperin' your name
Through all the chaos, tryna help you fan your flame?
I'm the one right here to guide you through life's twisted lane.
Nobody else gonna put up with this shit, you know it's true,
They'd be long gone, find somethin' shiny and new.
Chorus
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Echoes in the silence of the heart)
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Head shakin')
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Just this shit...)
Verse 5
Wanted a whole family with you, picture perfect, clean,
A crib, a picket fence, livin' out a shared dream.
But the dream's a nightmare, stuck on repeat scene.
I only stick around, see, 'cause there's a little queen,
My daughter, man, she deserves her father in the frame,
Even if this whole damn thing feels totally insane.
Chorus
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Echoes in the silence of the heart)
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Head shakin')
Oh why do I put up with this shit?
(Just this shit...)
Verse 6
This is my cross to bear, heavy on my back, it's true,
But for her smile, for her future, it's worth bearin' through.
Yeah, it's worth bearing.
I'm not gonna abandon her, no, never that play,
Though how much you might want that, I see it every day...
But I stay. For her. Yeah.
