Shrapnel Lyrics

Never thought it, ay
Never thought it
Never thought it
Never thought it, ay

Never thought
Never thought
Never thought it, ay
Never thought it, ay
Never thought it, ay

Did you forget how I kept you fresh?
Fashion killer popping off on the rest
Did you forget how I handle the stress?
Dancing for you then I chop up the neck

Did you forget who was there when you broke?
Living in back rooms being shamed by your folks
Did you forget who helped you up?
Refilled every drop that fell from your cup

How you gon play me like I wasn’t first?
How you be common giving bitches thirst?
How you gon’ give me respect in reverse?
Call you up and you be giving me terms

Walking in my door tracking all your dirt?
Acting like you’re the one meant to be hurt
How you end up becoming the worst?
Is that all that you thought I was worth
When I put you first?

(Who’d have thought it?)
Who’d have thought you’d never need me,
Love?
(Who’d have thought it?)
Not me,
Love!
(Not me)
No, no, no!

(Never thought it)
Never thought you’d never need me,
Love
(Never thought it)
Not me,
Love!
(Uh-uh!)
Oh, no, no!

(Who’d have thought it?)
Who’d have thought you’d never need me,
Love?
(Who’d have thought it?)
Not me,
Love!
(Nah baby not me though, love)
Oh, oh, no!

(Never thought it)
Never thought you’d never need me,
Love
(Never thought it)
Not me,
Love!
(Ah!? Never thought it)
No!

I might have been too proud
Got too full of myself
Thinking I’m all you needed
Couldn’t get with no one else

I thought I gave you everything
You wanted to be happy
But you can never be
Everything to somebody

Who don’t know who they be
What they need
Can’t keep it real
About how they feel

I set myself on fire
And you just watch me burn
I hope I get to see the day 
You get your fucking turn

(Who’d have thought it?)
Who’d have thought you’d never need me,
Love?
(Who’d have thought it?)
Not me,
Love!
(Not me)
No, no, no!

(Never thought it)
Never thought you’d never need me,
Love
(Never thought it)
Not me,
Love!
(Uh-uh!)
No!

(Who’d have thought it?)
Who’d have thought you’d never need me,
Love?
(Who’d have thought it?)
Not me,
Love!
(Nah baby not me though, love)
No, no, no!

(Never thought it)
Never thought you’d never need me,
Love
(Never thought it)
Not me,
Love!
(Ah!? Never thought it)
No!

Me, Love?
Me, Love?

Me, Love?
(Who’d have thought it?)
No, Love!
(No, no!)
Oh!

Never thought it, ay
Never thought it
Never thought it
Never thought it, ay

Never thought
Never thought
Never thought it, ay
Never thought it, ay
Never thought it, ay

(Never thought it, ay)
Who’d have thought you’d never need me
Love?
(Never thought 
Never thought 
Never thought it, ay)
Not me,
Love!
No, no, no!

(Never thought it, ay)
Never thought you’d never need me
Love
(Never thought it, ay
Never thought it, ay
Never thought it, ay)
Not me,
Love!
Oh, no, no!

(Who’d have thought it?)
Who’d have thought you’d never need me,
Love?
(Who’d have thought it?)
Not me,
Love!
(Nah baby not me though, love)
Oh, no, no!

(Never thought it)
Never thought you’d never need me,
Love
(Never thought it)
Not me,
Love!
(Never thought it)
No!

Me, Love?
Me, Love?

Me, Love?
No, Love!
Oh!

PRDCT w/ Derrty Boy Fresh & JAVARI

Trinidad-based artist, DANIEL MERRIQUE is bringing a refreshing new sound from the islands that’s really easy on the ears. 

With aims of capturing the hearts of island people and island life lovers everywhere, he’s painting a vivid picture of what it’s like to be born and raised in this part of the world while painting pictures of what he wants his world to be with every release.

Naturally, artists like this have foundations in Hip-Hop and that’s where it began for MERRIQUE in particular, aside from singing in church as a kid.
This guy is fusing Hip-Hop, Soul, R&B, Calypso, Soca, Reggae, Dancehall and Afrobeats (Cousou, he calls his sound)—making it sound familiar and foreign at the same damn time, while exuding a humble yet confident persona. Easy as an island breeze and definitely worth the listen.
