Trauma (feat. Cordae)

Public perception is often deception

Uh, I think somebody needs to tell the truth

Yeah, killing my ego through my self reflections

Uh, something that we all fail to do

Why does compassion get treated as weakness?

Yeah, what is the world really coming to?

Uh, why is my empathy often misleaded?

Yeah, how you interpret that is up to you

So many things

Why I let it get to me?

Like I know everything

When I don't know anything, yeah

Why I 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

Ay, tellin' myself I'm a mess

I blame it all on my ex

On me

Is this as good at it gets?

Is this as good as it gets?

I don't want the drama

From the trauma

Bad energy

It's a problem

I take it personal

I ain't perfect though

But it hurts, ya know

That make it worse, ya know

And the drama

From the trauma

It's bad energy

It's a problem

When I take it personal

I be the first to blow

And it's worse, ya know

Is it worth it though?

I don't know, I don't know

Is it worth it though?

I don't know

I don't know

Is it worth it?

Don't know how to act

When I can't handle that

I'm stressing the petty things

How you see, it is everything, yeah

I made a bunch of figures

But I gotta bunch of triggers

When it comes to pictures

I don't see it bigger

Let it hold me back

When I know the facts, yeah

Oh, why I still can't live with that?

Why do I live in the past?

Only

Worried about where they at

When I don't know where I'm going

I don't want the drama

From the trauma

Bad energy

It's a problem

I take it personal

I ain't perfect though

But it hurts, ya know

Make it worse, ya know

And the drama

From the trauma

It's bad energy

It's a problem

When I take it personal

I'm the first to blow

Makin' it worse, ya know

Is it worth it though?

Is it worth it?

Uh, is it worth it though?

Is it, yeah

(Worth it) 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

Though first impressions are important, perception is bad

The doubt was needed for a **** 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 have for ya

Dishonesty is quite a disorder

The same reason I just fired my lawyer

In light of my vision for writtens parasitic absorbers

Energy drainers, the vibes that I get from reporters

Disappointed lookin' at the way these **** was brought up

That get you caught up

In a situation with different places you never thought of

This world slaughters

The weak-willed and kind-hearted

My mind audits

Created by deals that define artists

And plus I speak my mind, that makes me a prime target

But I'd rather start speakin', no beefin'

'Cause I don't want no drama

From the trauma

Bad energy

It's a problem

I take it personal

I ain't perfect though

But it hurts, ya know

That make it worse, ya know

And the drama

From the trauma

It's bad energy

It's a problem

When I take it personal

I'll be the first to blow

And it's worse, ya know

Is it worth it though?

Is it worth it?

No, is it worth it though?

Is it, yeah

(Is it worth it? I don't know)

(Is it worth it? I don't know)

(Is it worth it? I don't know)

(Said, "I don't know")

(I don't know)
