Ay, you work hard to be perfect

You tryna keep it all together, it ain’t working

You gotta let that grudge go, it ain’t worth it

You gotta let that grudge go, it ain’t worth it

Huh, you work hard to be perfect

You tryna keep it all together, it ain’t working

You gotta let that grudge go, it ain’t worth it

You gotta let that grudge go, go

Ay, I’m by my lonely, keep your distance, homie

You gotta clutch the real ones and then you ditch the phonies

Just keep your heart in check, you can’t forget your story

Girl, you got so much strength so check your inventory

They underestimate you, they think you not as good

But I can sense your struggle, you’re so misunderstood

You hide your true emotions, I guess you fear the light

What? You mad ‘cause a man didn’t treat you right?

Yeah, you was there for him, you went through hell for him

If love’s a crime, you did a hundred years in jail for him

You cried your eyes, I bet a hundred tears had fell for him

You can’t forget about the lies you used to tell for him

I guess you thinking that a grudge is gon' hurt him

When really you’re just hurting yourself, and that’s for certain

It’s time to let go of the past and build your future

You got so much more in the tank, don’t let 'em fool ya

Ay, you work hard to be perfect

You tryna keep it all together, it ain’t working

You gotta let that grudge go, it ain’t worth it

You gotta let that grudge go, it ain’t worth it

Huh, you work hard to be perfect

You tryna keep it all together, it ain’t working

You gotta let that grudge go, it ain’t worth it

You gotta let that grudge go, go

G—You got angry because of a disagreement

R—You resented the person you used to be with

U—It got ugly and ties severed of course

D—Disrespectful words flinging back and forth

Another G—Giving too much energy to a beef that shouldn’t'a even went this far, homie, that’s weak

So the real true question is how do these things live

‘Cause of E—Everybody’s too stubborn to forgive

From grudges we won’t budge ‘cause it’s a touchy subject

We suffer from it, gossiping people watch it and love it

Foolish pride, you trippin’, your anger will never cease

Then they died and you regretted never making peace

That’s a bad situation you choosing to make worse

Grown people playing a game of who gon’ break first

It’s really misguided emotions, so learn to control ‘em

‘Cause grudges only get heavier the longer that you hold ‘em

Ay, you work hard to be perfect

You tryna keep it all together, it ain’t working

You gotta let that grudge go, it ain’t worth it

You gotta let that grudge go, it ain’t worth it

Huh, you work hard to be perfect

You tryna keep it all together, it ain’t working

You gotta let that grudge go, it ain’t worth it

You gotta let that grudge go, go
