Hey, we really need to talk Yeah, yeah, want me to tell you the truth? What you expect me to say? Cause if we keeping it true, it's probably never gon' change But, I guess it's hereditary, baby Why you playing with my heart? It's heredity girl you was just playing from the start, shit But if you let me explain, shit I shouldn't let you explain, you should just let me explain I see the games you be playing, it's really ice in your veins It's kinda fucking insane, are you in power exchange? I guess I'm just out of my lane, I know I'm losing my brain But, I know it's hereditary baby 'cause your mama was a G And your daddy wasn't there so you be trying to play with me But, but that ain't the wave But if I'm keeping it true, I know why I be this way now We don't speak, we say evil things now We don't sleep no more, we need space now She gone leave and go and her find her a bae now Ouch, ouch That's pain, yeah, oh so painful Trying to change, just let me die in the rainfall I can't save her if she don't want to be saved, how Please God, do something for me God She cut me deep just to see if I'ma bleed out I know this what I need, but who's to say what I need What you say to your demons? What you say to your heart when it's walking away with your feelings? But didn't you know I tried, tried, tried, tried Tried to be the guy in your life But you tied my soul, spirit, and mind and dullness all your life The fuck you want me to say? And if I'm keeping it true, it's probably never gone change But I guess it's hereditary baby, why you playing with my heart? It's hereditary baby, you could've said this from the start, yes But, ain't that a waste? A big fucking waste of time A big fucking waste of time, yeah Yeah, uh, ok, I remember all the better days Used to spend a hella lot of time Catching something, heck I didn't wait Guessing I was probably out of line Then you said "don't speak to me" I'd be like "ok, it's fine" That's just gon' pull on the fight, know that we said one of us upset Then we just not gon' sleep tonight Man this shit has turned all bad Call mama, call dad, call Izzy, call Precious, call Pat It's like she spit in my face And the world's fall down on me and I can't handle the wave But I'm finna get medicated, maybe it'll take away the pain A relationship will make you have a fucking revelation But, but that ain't a waste, no It's never been a waste of time Never been a waste of time, no Yeah, yeah, want me to tell you the truth? What you expect me to say? Cause if we keeping it true, it's probably never gon' change But, I guess it's hereditary, baby Why you playing with my heart? It's heredity girl you was just playing from the start, yeah But if you let me explain, shit Hey, we really need to talk But, of course, you never answer your time I just don't think this relationship will work You never make time for me, you never show me off You just never make me feel special I mean, I want to work these off, but I just need you to change And we both know, that will never happen
