Hereditary

[Intro]
Hey, we really need to talk

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, uh
Want me to tell you the truth? (Want me to tell you the truth, no, woah)
What you expect me to say? (What you expect me to say, nah, nah)
'Cause if we keeping it true ('Cause if we keeping it true, nah, nah)
It's probably never gon' change (It's never gon', ooh-woah, woah)
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 (Yeah)
Shit, but if you let me explain, shit (Never gon', ooh-woah, woah)

[Verse 1]
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 (Yeah)
Shit, but, but that ain't the wave, yeah (But that ain't the wave)
But if I'm keeping it true, I know why I be this way now (Now)
We don't speak, we sit, eat food faced down (Face down)
We don't sleep no more, we need space now (Space now)
She gon' leave and go and 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 (This all your life)

[Bridge]
The fuck you want me to say? (What you want me to say)
And if I'm keeping it true (And if I'm keeping it true)
It's probably never gon' change, no (It's prolly 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 (Said it from the start, yeah)
But, but ain't that a waste?
A big fucking waste of time
A big fucking waste of time, yeah

[Verse 2]
Uh, okay, I remember all the better days (Oo)
Used to spend a hella lot of time (Ooo)
Guessing something had got in the way (Oo)
Guessing I was probably out of line (Ooo)
Then you said, "Don't speak to me" (Oo)
I'd be like, "Okay, it's fine" (Ooo)
That's just gon' prolong the fight (Oo)
Know that we said that if one of us upset (Oo)
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 (Oo)
Shit, it's like she spit in my face (It's like she spit on my face)
And now the world's fallin' down on me
And I can't handle the weight (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 (A relevation)
Uh, bu-but, but that ain't a waste, no (A waste)
It's never been a waste of time, (It never been a waste of time, no) a waste of time, waste of time, (Uh,) what a waste of time

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, uh
Want me to tell you the truth? (Want me to tell you the truth, no, woah)
What you expect me to say? (What you expect me to say, nah, nah)
'Cause if we keeping it true ('Cause if we keeping it true, nah, nah)
It's probably never gon' change (It's never gon', ooh-woah, woah)
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 (Yeah)
Shit, but if you let me explain, shit (Never gon')
It's prolly never, ooh-woah

[Outro]
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
