H.E.R. - Trauma (Audio) ft. Cordae Chords

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ I think somebody needs to tell [A] the truth.
Yeah, [Am] killing my ego through my self-reflection.
Something that we all fail [F] to do.
Why does compassion get treated [Dm] as weakness?
Yeah, [Am] what is the [Dm] world really [A] coming to?
[Am] Why is my empathy often misleading?
Yeah, how you interpret that is up to you.
I don't know [F] anything, but I let it get to me. _
[A] Like I know everything, [Am] but I don't know anything. _
[F] Why I overthink?
Think I need a drink.
I just need to chill.
Maybe I need a shrink.
[A] Need to hear him [Am] preach.
And cement a peace.
I'm always in a mood.
Think I just need some sleep.
[F] Hey, telling myself I'm a [Dm] mess.
[Am] I blame it all on my ex.
On me.
Is this as good as it gets?
Is this as good as it gets?
I [Bb] don't want the drama.
It's only trauma.
[A] Bad energy is the problem.
Take it [Am] personal.
Ain't perfect, though.
But it hurts, you know.
That make it worse, you know.
[Dm] In the drama.
Only trauma.
It's bad energy.
It's the problem.
But I [Am] take it personal.
I'll be the first to blow.
And it's worse, you know.
Is it [Bb] worth it, though?
No, no.
_ [Dm] Oh, man.
Is it worth it, though?
[Am] I don't know.
_ I don't know.
Is it worth it?
Don't know how [F] to act.
[Dm] When I can't handle that. _
[Am] Possession of petty things.
High key, it is everything.
Yeah.
I made a bunch [F] of figures.
Got a bunch of triggers.
[Am] Run a couple of pictures.
I don't see it big.
And let it hold me back.
_ When I know the facts.
Yeah.
[Dm] Oh.
Why I still can't live with that?
Why do I live in the [Am] past?
Only worried about where they at.
I don't know where I'm going.
I [Bb] don't want drama.
Only trauma.
[Am] Bad energy.
It's the problem.
I take it personal.
It ain't perfect, though.
But it hurts, you know.
Make it worse, you know.
[Dm] In the drama.
Only trauma.
Bad energy.
It's the problem.
But [Am] I take it personal.
I'm the first to blow.
Making it worse, you know.
Is it [Bb] worth it, though?
Is it worth it?
_ _ [Dm] _ Is it worth it, though?
[Am] _ Yeah.
Yeah. _
Was [Bb] it worth it?
Was it worth it?
I guess that is the [A] question to ask.
My worst behavior is the shit that I left in the past.
The first [Am] impressions aren't important.
Perception is bad.
And that was needed for a nigga to step [Bb] in his bag.
But really, [A] though, how long you thought your deception would last?
You're really losing every ounce of respect that I have for you.
This honesty is quite a disorder.
The same reason I disfired my lawyer.
Enlightened [Dm] my vision from written parasitic absorbers.
Energy drainers.
The vibes that I get from reporters.
[Am] Disappointed looking at the way these niggas was brought up.
That get you caught up in a situation with different places.
You never [Bb] thought of this world's slaughters.
Little weak will and kind [Dm] hearted.
My mind's artists.
Creative ideas that define [Am] artists.
And plus I speak my mind.
That makes me a prime target.
But I'd rather stop speaking no beefing.
Because I don't want to.
[F] Draw from the trauma.
That energy is the problem.
[A] Take it personal.
Perfect, though.
But it hurts, you know, that make it worse, you [Bb] know.
And the drama from the trauma.
[Dm] It's bad energy.
It's the problem.
[Am] I take it personal.
Be the first to blow.
And it's worse, you know.
Is it worth it, though?
[Bb] Is it worth it?
_ _ [Dm] _ Is it worth it, though?
[Am] Is it?
Yeah. _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
