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
