Dirty Laundry

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

When you're soaked in tears for years, it never airs out

When you make pain look this good, it never wears out

This dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

While my sister was on stage

Killing it like a motherfucker

I was enraged

Feeling it like a motherfucker

Bird in a cage

You would never know what I was dealing with

Went our separate ways

But I was happy she was killing it

Bitter sweet

When she was up, I was down

No lie, I feel good for her

But what do I do now?

Forget the records

Off the record, I was going through some bullshit

Post Survivor, she on fire

Who wanna hear my bullshit?

Meanwhile, this **** putting his hands on me

Swear, y'all don't know the half of this industry

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

When you're soaked in tears for years, it never airs out

When you make pain look this good, it never wears out

This dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

And it's almost been a decade

I'm behind them black shades

Roll up like it's all good

Right up out that Escalade

Fix my makeup

Get it together, Kelly, get it together

Then we make up

Well, get it together, ****, get it together

Kinda lucky I was in her shadow

Phone call from my sister, what's the matter?

She said, oh, no, baby, you gotta leave

I'm on the kitchen floor, he took the keys

I was mad at everybody

I mean everybody

Yeah, her, her, her, her, everybody

Five years later, I got my shit down pat

Think I had it good

And they don't know how bad

Fooled everybody

Except myself

Soaking in this hurt

Bathing in the dirt

Dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

When you're soaked in tears for years, it never airs out

When you make pain look this good, it never wears out

Dirty laundry

Laundry

So here I am in this spin cycle

We coming and we going

Nobody can notice

And I was trapped in this house

Lying to my mama

Thought it could get no worser

As we maximize the drama

Started to call them people on him

I was battered

He hitting the window like it was me

Until it shattered

He pulled me out, he said

Don't nobody love you but me

Not your mama, not your daddy

And especially not B

He turned me against my sister

I missed you

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

This dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

When you're soaked in tears for years, it never airs out

When you make pain look this good, it never wears out

This dirty laundry, dirty laundry

Love is pain and pain is love

He had me fucked up

Love is pain and pain is love

He had me fucked up
