Boys Ain't Shit
SayGrace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These boys ain't shit
I'm not here for it
If you want me act like it
Act like it, mh

You only hit me on a late night
I never see you in the daylight
You wonder why I got a attitude
You make it hard for me to play nice
Have I become a habit?
Quick trip on your lips, doing acid
And I know you think you're so cool
But it really ain't attractive

Why do you waste all my time?
Keep on telling me lies
'Cause you know I'll come right back
When you don't even write back

These boys ain't shit
I'm not here for it
If you want me act like it
Act like it
These boys get pissed
'Cause I won't stand for it
If you want the sweet life
Then act like it

I'm the cherry on top of the whipped cream
I'm the first call when she leaves
Talking like a gentleman, please
You just want cake with your ice cream

Why do you waste all my time?
Keep on telling me lies
'Cause you know I'll come right back
When you don't even write back

These boys ain't shit
I'm not here for it
If you want me act like it
Act like it
These boys get pissed
'Cause I won't stand for it
If you want the sweet life
Then act like it

Running backwards
Don't be such an asshole
Don't get mad though
Running, running backwards

Running backwards
Don't be such an asshole
Don't get mad though
Running, running backwards

These boys ain't shit

These boys ain't shit
I'm not here for it
If you want me act like it
Act like it
These boys get pissed
'Cause I won't stand for it
If you want the sweet life
Then act like it

These boys ain't shit
I'm not here for it




If you want me act like it
Act like it

The opening line, "These boys ain't shit," sets the tone for the song as SayGrace sings about the men who only hit her up late at night and make it hard for her to "play nice." The chorus emphasizes her resolve not to put up with this behavior, and demands that if a man wants her in his life, he needs to "act like it."

SayGrace references the fact that they think they're "so cool" but she finds their behavior "really ain't attractive." The bridge of the song takes a more confrontational tone, with SayGrace demanding that these men "Don't be such an asshole" and criticizing them for "running backwards."


Overall, "Boys Ain't Shit" is a powerful and deeply relatable song for women who have experienced this kind of behavior from men. SayGrace's lyrics are straightforward and blunt, making it clear that she won't tolerate being treated poorly any longer.
