(Hit-Boy)

Na, na-na, na, na, na

Na, na, na-na, na

Na, na, na, oh

Na, na-na, na, na, na

Public perception is often deception, uh

I think somebody needs to tell the truth, yeah

Killin' my ego through my self-reflection, 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

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

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

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?

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

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'

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)

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 loosin' every ounce of respect that I had for ya

This honesty 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

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)

Worth it (I don't know)

Is it 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
