[Verse 1: Cordae]
Public perception is often deception, uh
AmI think somebody needs to tell the truth, yeah
Killin' my ego through my self-reflection, uh
Bbmaj7Somethin' that we all fail to do, hmm
Why does compassion get treated as weakness?
AmYeah, what is the world really comin' to?
Uh, why is my empathy often misleadin'?
Bbmaj7Yeah, how you interpret that is up to you
[Verse 2: H.E.R.]
Bbmaj7So many things (So many things)
Why I let it get to me? (Yeah)
AmLike I know everything (Like I know everything)
When I don't know anything, yeah
Bbmaj7Why overthink?
Think I need a drink
Bbmaj7I just need to chill, maybe I need a shrink
AmNeed to hear 'em preach, and some inner peace
AmI'm always in a mood, think I just need some sleep
Ayy, ayy
[Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.]
Bbmaj7 Tellin' myself, I'm a mess (Mess)
I blame it all on my ex
AmHomie, it's just as good as it gets
It's just as good as it gets
[Chorus: H.E.R.]
Bbmaj7I don't want the drama from the trauma
Bad energy, it's the problem
AmI take it personal, I ain't perfect though
But it hurts, you know? That make it worse, you know?
Bbmaj7And the drama from the trauma
It's bad energy, it's the problem
AmWhen I take it personal, I'll be the first to blow
And it's worse, you know? Is it worth it though?
Bbmaj7No, no, oh, no
AmIs it worth it though? I don't know, I don't know
Is it worth it?
[Verse 3: H.E.R.]
Bbmaj7Don't know how to act (Don't know how to act)
When I can't handle that (When I can't handle that)
AmI'm stressin' the petty things (I'm stressin' the petty things)
How you see it is everything (How you see it is everything), yeah
Bbmaj7I made a bunch of figures, got a bunch of triggers
AmWhen 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
[Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.]
Bbmaj7 Uh, why I still can't live with that?
AmWhy Do I live in the past only?
Worried about where they at (Oh, yeah)
Am When I don't know where I'm goin'
[Chorus: H.E.R.]
Bbmaj7I don't want the drama from the trauma
Bad energy, it's the problem
AmI take it personal, I ain't perfect though
But it hurts, you know? That make it worse, you know?
Bbmaj7And the drama from the trauma
It's bad energy, it's the problem
AmWhen I take it personal, I'll be the first to blow
Makin' it worse, you know? Is it worth it though?
Bbmaj7Is it worth it?
AmUh, is it worth it though? Is it?
Yeah, ayy (Worth it)
[Verse 4: Cordae]
Bbmaj7Uh, was it worth it?
I guess that is the question to ask
My worst behavior is the shit that I left in the past
Am The first impressions are important, perception is vague
The doubt was needed for a nigga to step in his bag
Bbmaj7 But really though, how long you thought your deception would last?
AmYou really loosin' every ounce of respect that I had for ya
Dishonesty is quite a disorder
AmThe same reason I just fired my lawyer
Bbmaj7Enlighten my vision from writtens, parasitic absorbers
Bbmaj7Energy drainers, the vibes that I get from reporters
AmDisappointed lookin' at the way these niggas was brought up
AmThat get you caught up in a situation, with different places you never thought of
Bbmaj7This world slaughters, your weak will and kind-hearted
Bbmaj7My mind audits, creative ideas that define artists
AmAnd plus I speak my mind, that makes me a prime target
AmBut I'd rather start speakin', no beefin' 'cause
[Chorus: H.E.R., with Cordae]
Bbmaj7I don't want no drama from the trauma
Bad energy, it's the problem
AmI take it personal, I ain't perfect though
But it hurts, you know? That make it worse, you know?
Bbmaj7And the drama from the trauma
It's bad energy, it's the problem
AmWhen I take it personal, I'll be the first to blow
And it's worse, you know? Is it worth it though?
Bbmaj7Is it worth it?
AmUh, is it worth it though? Is it?
Yeah, ayy (Worth it)
[Outro: H.E.R.]
Bbmaj7Worth it (I don't know)
AmIt's worth it? I don't know
I said, "I don't know", uh
Bbmaj7 AmI don't know
