Dirty Laundry - Kelly Rowland
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 motherf*cker
I was enraged feeling it like a motherf*cker
Bird in a cage you would never know what I was dealing with
Went out 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 record I was going through some bullsh*t
Post-survivor she on fire who wanna hear my bullsh*t
Meanwhile this n*gga putting his hands on me
I swear y'all don't 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
This dirty laundry this dirty laundry
And it's almost been a decade
I'm behind them black shades
Roll up like it's 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 n*gga 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 sh*t down pat
Think I had it good and they don't 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
So here I am in the spin cycle
We're comin and we're goin'
Nobody can know this
And I was trapped in his house lyin' to my mama
Thought it could get no worse as we maximize the drama
Started to call them people on him
I was battered
He hittin' 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
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
