Dirty Laundry

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

When you're soaked in tears for years it never airs out

When you make pain look this good it never wears out.

This dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

While my sister was on stage, killing it like a motherfucker,

I was enraged, feeling it like a motherfucker,

Bird in a cage, you would never know what I was dealing with

Went our separate ways, but I was happy she was killing it.

Bittersweet, she was up, I was down

No lie, I feel good for her, but what do I do now

Forget the records. Off the records was going through some bullshit

Post-survivor, she on fire, who wanna hear my bullshit

Meanwhile this nigga putting his hands on me

Swear yall dont know the half of this industry

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

When you're soaked in tears for years, it never airs out

When you make pain look this good it never wears out.

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

And its almost been a decade

I'm behind them black shades

Roll up like its all good, right up out that escalade

Fix my make-up, Get it together, Kelly, get it together

Then we make up, well get it together, nigga, get it together

Kinda lucky, I was in her shadow

Phone call from my sister, what's the matter

She said, Oh no baby you gotta leave

I'm on the kitchen floor he took the keys.

I was mad at everybody I mean everybody

Yeah, her, her, her, her everybody

Five years later, I got my shit down bad

Think I had it good, and they dont know how bad

Fooled everybody, except myself

Soaking in this hurt, bathing in the dirt

Dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

When you're soaked in tears for years, it never airs out.

When you make pain look this good it never wears out.

Dirty laundry, laundry

So here I am in the spin cycle,

We're comin and were goin

Nobody can notice

And I was trapped in his house,lying to my mama

Thought it could get no worser as we maximize the drama

Started to call them people on him..

I was battered

He hitting the window like it was me, until it shattered

He pulled me out, he said, don't nobody love you but me

Not your mama, not your daddy and especially not Bey.

He turned me against my sister

I missed ya.

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

When youre soaked in tears for years, it never airs out

When you make pain look this good it never wears out.

Let's do this dirty laundry, dirty laundry

Love is pain, and pain is love

He had me fucked up

Love is pain, and pain is love

He had me fucked up
