Brent Faiyaz – WY@ Lyrics

This single was released during the span in which Brent Faiyaz was having his Fuck The World, It’s Wasteland tour. The track touches on topics that are seen in Wasteland such as toxic relationships and the inability to escape them.

For Faiyaz, it’s not the notion of leaving the relationship that is the issue. Instead it is the temporary benefits such as sexual pleasure and the person always being open to Brent’s coming and going in their lives. It sustains the temporary excitement of their relationship. This person is able to manipulate Brent by redirecting his focus which causes the entire focus to lie solely on them.

WY@ stands for “Where you at” which is a phrase used in the song to indicate how Brent has found himself in a position where he is unable to go back to his lover. Him constantly going back to her when it benefitted him resulted in her finding a way to reject his advances through ghosting and detaching from his life

WY@ Lyrics by Brent Faiyaz

[Chorus]
I be doing shit I really shouldn’t do for real
That’s why I always tell you come through for real
After this time I’ll be through for real
I be doing shit I really shouldn’t do for real
That’s why I always tell you come through for real
After this time I’ll be through for real

[Interlude]
Voy a estar aquí para ti, para siempre
Te estoy esperando con mis piernas abiertas y mi corazón abierto
Me acuerdo de tu sabor en mi boca
Nadie me hace temblar como tú
Quiero que me comas como ese helado que tanto te gusta
Besitos, papi

[Verse 1]
Even I know you ain’t no good for me
But you feel so good to me
Every time I come back, I try to leave
So how you end up back with me?
Oh (I don’t know)
This ain’t what I want, this is something else
Something that ain’t good for my health
I been searching but I can’t get no help
And I don’t feel like myself, oh

[Chorus]
I be doing shit I really shouldn’t do for real
That’s why I always tell you come through for real (Ooh, oh-oh)
After this time I’ll be through for real
After this time I’ll be through for real (Through for real)
I be doing shit I really shouldn’t do for real (Real, yeah)
That’s why I always tell you come through for real (Where you at?)
After this time I’ll be through for real (Bring me that—)
After this time I’ll be through for real
(Through for real)

[Verse 2]
I can feel them walls closing
I can feel it all
I’m stuck in your claws
Try to run but I don’t get far
I’ma put some blame on me
Tryna take accountability
But you take on my ability
You’re the death of me and the remedy
I be doing too much

[Chorus]
I be doing shit I really shouldn’t do for real
That’s why I always tell you come through for real (Oh)
After this time I’ll be through for real (Ooh)
After this time I’ll be through for real
I be doing shit I really shouldn’t do for real (I’ve been doing shit I shouldn’t do)
That’s why I always tell you come through for real (Baby, where you at?)
After this time I’ll be through for real (Bring me that—)
After this time I’ll be through for real
