Hey, we really need to talk

Yeah, yeah, uh

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 hereditary, girl, you was just playing from the start, yeah

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, argue and power exchange?

I guess I'm 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 tryna play with me, yeah

Shit, but, but that ain't the wave, yeah

But if I'm keeping it true, I know why I be this way now

We don't speak, we sit, eat food faced down

We don't sleep no more, we need space now

She gon' leave and go and her find her a bae now

Ouch, ouch, that's pain, yo, 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 ain't? what I need, but who's to say what I need

What you say to your demons?

What you say when your heart is walking away with your feelings?

Ahhh, 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

Been doing this all your life

The fuck you want me to say?

And if I'm keeping it true

It's probably never gon' change, no

But I guess it's hereditary baby, why you playing with my heart?

It's hereditary, girl, you could've said this from the start, yeah

But, but ain't that a waste?

A big fucking waste of time

A big fucking waste of time, yeah

Uh, okay, I remember all the better days

Used to spend a hella lot of time

Guessing something had got in the way

Guessing I was probably out of line

Then you said, "Don't speak to me"

I'd be like, "Okay, it's fine"

That's just gon' prolong the fight

Know that we said that if one of us upset

Then we just not gon' sleep tonight, aw, damn

Man, this shit has turned all bad

Call Mama, call Dad, call Izzy, call Precious, call Pat

Shit, it's like she spit in my face

And now the world's fallin' down on me

And I can't handle the weight

But I'm finna get medicated, maybe it'll take the pain away

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, a waste of time, waste of time

Uh, 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 hereditary, girl, you was just playing from the start, yeah

Shit, but if you let me explain, shit

Hey, we really need to talk

But, of course, you never answer your phone

I just don't think this relationship is working out

You never make time for me

You never show me off

You just never make me feel special

I mean, I want to work things out, but I would need you to change first

And we both know, that will never happen
