Public perception is often deception uh
I think somebody needs to tell the truth yeah
Killin' my ego through my self-reflection uh
Somethin' that we all fail to do hmm
Why does compassion get treated as weakness
Yeah what is the world really comin' to
Uh why is my empathy often misleadin'
Yeah how you interpret that is up to you
H.E.R.:
So many things
So many things
Why I let it get to me
Yeah
Like I know everything
Like I know everything
When I don't know anything yeah
Why overthink
Think I need a drink
I just need to chill maybe I need a shrink
Need to hear 'em preach and some inner peace
I'm always in a mood think I just need some sleep
Ayy ayy
Tellin' myself I'm a mess
Mess
I blame it all on my ex
Homie it's just as good as it gets
It's just as good as it gets
I don't want the drama from the trauma
Bad energy it's the problem
I take it personal I ain't perfect though
But it hurts you know
That make it worse you know
And the drama from the trauma
It's bad energy it's the problem
When I take it personal I'll be the first to blow
And it's worse you know
Is it worth it though
No no oh no
Is it worth it though
I don't know I don't know
Is it worth it
Don't know how to act
Don't know how to act
When I can't handle that
When I can't handle that
I'm stressin' the petty things
I'm stressin' the petty things
How you see it is everything
How you see it is everything
Yeah
I made a bunch of figures got a bunch of triggers
When it come to pictures
I don't see a bigger that'll hold me back
That'll hold me back
When I know the facts yeah ayy oh
Uh why I still can't live with that
Why do I live in the past only
Worried about where they at
Oh yeah
When I don't know where I'm goin'
I don't want the drama from the trauma
Bad energy it's the problem
I take it personal I ain't perfect though
But it hurts you know
That make it worse you know
And the drama from the trauma
It's bad energy it's the problem
When I take it personal I'll be the first to blow
Makin' it worse you know
Is it worth it though
Is it worth it
Uh is it worth it though
Is it
Yeah ayy
Worth it
Cordae:
Was it worth it
I guess that is the question to ask
My worst behavior is the s**t that I left in the past
The first impressions are important perception is vague
The doubt was needed for a n***a to step in his bag
But really though how long you thought your deception would last
You really loosin' every ounce of respect that I had for ya
This honesty is quite a disorder
The same reason I just fired my lawyer
Enlighten my vision from writtens parasitic absorbers
Energy drainers the vibes that I get from reporters
Disappointed lookin' at the way these n***as was brought up
That get you caught up in a situation
With different places you never thought of
This world slaughters your weak will and kind-hearted
My mind audits creative ideas that define artists
And plus I speak my mind that makes me a prime target
But I'd rather start speakin' no beefin' 'cause
H.E.R.+Cordae:
I don't want no drama from the trauma
Bad energy it's the problem
I take it personal I ain't perfect though
But it hurts you know

And the drama from the trauma
It's bad energy it's the problem
When I take it personal I'll be the first to blow
