Trauma

| Bbmaj7     | Bbmaj7     | Am     |

 Am     |

(Hit-Boy)
Bbmaj7
Na, na-na, na, na, na
Am
Na, na, na-na, na

Na, na, na, oh
Bbmaj7
Na, na-na, na, na, na


[Verse 1: Cordae]

Public perception is often 
deception, uh
I think somebody needs to tell the 
Am
truth, yeah

Killin' my ego through my 
self-reflection, uh
Somethin' that we all fail to do, 
Bbmaj7
hmm

Why does compassion get treated as 
weakness?
Yeah, what is the world really 
       Am
comin' to?

Uh, why is my empathy often 
misleadin'?
Yeah, how you interpret that is up 
   Bbmaj7
to you


[Verse 2: H.E.R.]
   Bbmaj7
So many things (So many things)

Why I let it get to me? (Yeah)
            Am
Like I know everything (Like I know 
everything)

When I don't know anything, yeah
    Bbmaj7
Why overthink?

Think I need a drink
       Bbmaj7
I just need to chill, maybe I need a
 shrink
        Am
Need to hear 'em preach, and some 
inner peace
           Am
I'm always in a mood, think I just 
need some sleep

Ayy, ayy


[Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.]
Bbmaj7
      Tellin' myself, I'm a mess 
(Mess)

I blame it all on my ex
Am
Homie, it's just as good as it gets

It's just as good as it gets


[Chorus: H.E.R.]
                 Bbmaj7
I don't want the drama from the 
trauma

Bad energy, it's the problem
          Am
I take it personal, I ain't perfect 
though

Continues after the ad
But it hurts, you know? That make it
 worse, you know?
        Bbmaj7
And the drama from the trauma

It's bad energy, it's the problem
               Am
When I take it personal, I'll be the
 first to blow

And it's worse, you know? Is it 
worth it though?
Bbmaj7
No, no, oh, no
                               Am
Is it worth it though? I don't know,
 I don't know

Is it worth it?


[Verse 3: H.E.R.]
           Bbmaj7
Don't know how to act (Don't know 
how to act)

When I can't handle that (When I 
can't handle that)
                  Am
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
         Bbmaj7
I made a bunch of figures, got a 
bunch of triggers
When it come to pictures, I don't 
                     Am
see a bigger that'll hold me back 
(That'll hold me back)

When I know the facts, yeah, ayy, oh


[Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.]
Bbmaj7
      Uh, why I still can't live 
with that?
                          Am
Why do I live in the past only?

Worried about where they at (Oh, 
yeah)
Am
  When I don't know where I'm goin'


[Chorus: H.E.R.]
                 Bbmaj7
I don't want the drama from the 
trauma

Bad energy, it's the problem
          Am
I take it personal, I ain't perfect 
though

But it hurts, you know? That make it
 worse, you know?
        Bbmaj7
And the drama from the trauma

It's bad energy, it's the problem
               Am
When I take it personal, I'll be the
 first to blow

Makin' it worse, you know? Is it 
worth it though?
      Bbmaj7
Is it worth it?
                                  Am
Uh, is it worth it though? Is it?

Yeah, ayy (Worth it)


[Verse 4: Cordae]
           Bbmaj7
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
Am
  The first impressions are 
important, perception is vague

The doubt was needed for a nigga to 
step in his bag
Bbmaj7
      But really though, how long 
you thought your deception would 
last?
You really loosin' every ounce of 
                   Am
respect that I had for ya

Dishonesty is quite a disorder
         Am
The same reason I just fired my 
lawyer
                         Bbmaj7
Enlighten my vision from writtens, 
parasitic absorbers
                     Bbmaj7
Energy drainers, the vibes that I 
get from reporters
                     Am
Disappointed lookin' at the way 
these niggas was brought up
That get you caught up in a 
Am
situation, with different places you
 never thought of
     Bbmaj7
This world slaughters, your weak 
will and kind-hearted
   Bbmaj7
My mind audits, creative ideas that 
define artists
    Am
And plus I speak my mind, that makes
 me a prime target
        Am
But I'd rather start speakin', no 
beefin' 'cause


[Chorus: H.E.R., with Cordae]
                Bbmaj7
I don't want no drama from the 
trauma

Bad energy, it's the problem
          Am
I take it personal, I ain't perfect 
though

But it hurts, you know? That make it
 worse, you know?
        Bbmaj7
And the drama from the trauma

It's bad energy, it's the problem
               Am
When I take it personal, I'll be the
 first to blow

And it's worse, you know? Is it 
worth it though?
      Bbmaj7
Is it worth it?
Uh, is it worth it though? Is it?
Am


Yeah, ayy (Worth it)


[Outro: H.E.R.]
                  Bbmaj7
Worth it (I don't know)
                       Am
It's worth it? I don't know

I said, "I don't know", uh
        Bbmaj7    Am
I don't know
