(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
                                   Am
I think somebody needs to tell the truth, yeah

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

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

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

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
                                                       Am
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


[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?
                                                     Am
You really loosin' every ounce of 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
                            Am
That get you caught up in a 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?
                                   Am
Uh, is it worth it though? Is it?

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
