Dirty Laundry (Letra)
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***er
I was enraged
Feelin’ it like a motherf***er
Bird in the cage
You would never know what I was dealing with
We 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 record
I was goin’ through some bullshit
Post Survivor, she were on fire
Who’d want hear my bullshit?
Meanwhile, this n***a putting his hands on me
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, riding off that Escalade
Fix my make up
Get it together Kelly, get it together
Then we make up
We’ll get it together, n***a, get it together
Kind of lucky I was in her shadow
Phone call from my sister “What’s the matter? ”
She said “Oh no, baby, you’ve got to leave”
I’m on the kitchen floor, he took the keys
I was mad at everybody
I mean everybody
Yeah her, her, her, everybody
Five years later, I got my s**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, laundry
So here I am in this spin cycle
We’re coming and we’re going
Nobody could notice
And I was trapped in this house lying to my mama
Thought it could get no worse as we maximized the drama
Started to call them people on him, I was battered
He hit the window like it was me until it shattered
He pulled me out and said “Don’t nobody love you but me
Not yo 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
Love is pain and pain is love
Hear me f****d up
Love is pain and pain is love
Hear me f****d up
