[Intro]
Okay, let's see
[Verse 1]
I thought I found love
But you ain't shit, no
Gave you a space in my heart
But you ain't fit, no, no
And it hurts, but I let it
I let it 'cause I, I needed that pain
But I wanted to feel it
'Cause it'll teach me not to go back there again
[Chorus]
And I put my heart on it
Don't try to stop me when I leave
I put my all on it
Look what you did to me
I couldn't count on ya
'Cause you was fuckin' with everyone but me
So I walked out on ya
And it was the best thing I did for me
(Best thing, best thing, best thing)
I did for me
(Best thing, best thing, best thing)
I did for me
[Verse 2]
Now I really be like fuck that nigga, my attitude changed
Take a couple sips of the D'USSÉ
Ain't no ring on my finger anyway
I miss the dick, but that'll go away
I just gotta stop thinking 'bout you (Thinking 'bout you)
Fill my time with better shit to do (Better shit to do)
I dreamed that I married you
Then I woke up happy it never came true
You (You), you're not the one
I gotta find a way to be done, yeah
And I think I found that shit
Don't wanna be in love again
Too easy for you to go astray
Nigga, my son don't like you anyway
Good thing that I walked away
Now you ain't gotta hear me say
[Chorus]
That I put my heart on it
Don't try to stop me when I leave
I put my all on it
And look what you did to me
I couldn't count on ya
'Cause you was fuckin' with everyone but me
So I walked out on ya
And it was the best thing I did for me
(Best thing, best thing, best thing)
I did for me (I did, I did, yeah)
(Best thing, best thing, best thing)
I did for me (For me, for me, for me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
I thought I found love
But you ain't shit, oh

What inspired this song?
I was going through a real-time heartbreak during the making of this song. I flew to LA to get in the lab, was dealing with that shit emotionally. Music played the beat and then I just let my emotions roll.
What was your songwriting process like?
I freestyled that shit. Because I was going through it already, you know? The anger was there, the emotion was there, the regret, all of that shit was just piled up. Starting it off, I think I was thinking too much. I was trying so hard to make it a perfect song, because, I’m not really one to publi...
Did your ex ever hear the song?
Dude definitely heard the song. Dude definitely knows that it’s about him. Dude definitely knows that he ain’t shit. So, yeah, he heard it and didn’t really have much to say about it, because he knows it’s the truth.
What have fans' reactions been like?
In writing that, I knew how I felt, you know what I mean? But then I also said, “If I feel this way, how many other girls feel this way?”.
