Hit-Boy , H.E.R. feat. Cordae - Trauma

[Intro: Cordae] (Hit-Boy) Na, na-na, na, na, na Na, na, na-na, na Na, na, na, oh Na, na-na, na, na, na [Verse 1: Cordae] Public perception is often deception, uh I think somebody needs to tell the truth, yeah Killin' my ego through my self-reflections, 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 [Verse 2: 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 [Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.] 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 [Chorus: H.E.R.] 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? [Verse 3: H.E.R.] 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 [Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.] 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' [Chorus: H.E.R.] 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) [Verse 4: Cordae] Uh, was it worth it? I guess that is the question to ask My worst behavior is the shit that I left in the past The first impressions are important, perception is vague The doubt was needed for a nigga to step in his bag But really though, how long you thought your deception would last? You really losin' every ounce of respect that I had for ya Dishonesty 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 niggas 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 [Chorus: H.E.R., with 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? 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? Is it worth it? Uh, is it worth it though? Is it? Yeah, ayy (Worth it) [Outro: H.E.R.] Worth it (I don't know) It's worth it? I don't know I said, "I don't know", uh I don't know
