Hereditary

Hey, we really need to talk

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're playing with my heart?

It's hereditary girl

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 outta 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 it would be this way, now

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

We don't sleep no more

We need space now

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

Ouch, ouch, that's pain y'all

Oh, so painful, tryna change us

Lemme die in the rain fall

I can't save her

If she don't wanna be saved, how?

Please, God, do something for me, God

She cut me deep just to see if I'ma bleed, ah

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? I

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're playing with my heart?

It's hereditary girl

Coulda 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

Okay, I remember all the better days

Used to spend a hella lotta time

Guessing something had got in the way

Guessing I was probably outta line

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

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

That's just gon' prolong the fight

Knew we said that if one us says that

Then we just not gon' sleep at night, aw damn

Man, this shit is turning all bad

Call Mama, call Dad, call Izzy

Call Precious, call Pat

It's like she spit in my face

And now the world's falling down on me

And I can't handle the weight

But I finna get medicated, maybe

It'll take the pain away

A relationship'll make you

Have a fucking revelation

But, but, but that ain't a waste, no

It's never been a waste of time

Then I would have been a waste of time, no

Waste of time

Waste of time

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're playing with my heart

It's hereditary girl

Was just playing from the start, yeah

Shit, but if you let me explain, shit
