Hurt Feelings

by Erykah Badu

[Intro]
Yeah (Whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa whoa-whoa whoa-whoa)
Yeah, yeah (Whoa, whoa-whoa)
Yeah, yeah (Whoa, whoa-whoa)
Yeah, yeah (Whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa whoa-whoa whoa-whoa)
Yeah, yeah
Well, okay

[Chorus]
I'm always sayin' I won't change but
I ain't the same (Same)
Everything is different, I can't complain
You don't know what you missin', shame on you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, shame on you
Everything is strange, that's just a game
Everybody trippin', throwin' it away
We was getting lifted, now we getting paid
Shame on you (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
I paid the cost to see apostrophes
That means it's mine, keep to myself, taking my time
Always into some bullsh*t, and out of line
Driving with my eyes closed, missing all the signs
Turn the ignition, I'm driven and sittin' pretty
Listenin' to Whitney and whippin' it through the city, yeah
Man on a mission, figure it out
Putting way too much on my shoulders, please hold me down (Down, down)
I keep my head above the water (Water)
My eyes is gettin' bigger, so the world is gettin' smaller (Smaller)
I've been gettin' richer but that only made me crazy
Mama told me I was different even when I was a baby
That Mercedes through the PA when I pull up (Pull up), soundin' like a concert
Or a, or a monster truck, I'm trippin' but I'm falling up
Always said I want it all, but it's not enough
O-kay (Yeah)

[Chorus]
I'm always sayin' I won't change but
I ain't the same (Same)
Everything is different, I can't complain
You don't know what you missin', shame on you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, shame on you
And everything is strange, that's just a game
Everybody trippin', throwin' it away
We was getting lifted, now we getting paid
Shame on you (Yeah)

[Bridge]
We only just begun
No, we don't wanna hurt your feelings
'Cause it's only just begun
No, we don't wanna
Hurt (Hurt) feelings (Feelings)

[Verse 2]
Down go the system, long live the king (King)
Turn the power off and get your water from the spring (Spring)
I'm bringing everyone with me when sh*t get iffy (Yeah)
I give a hundred and fifty percent
This is the sh*t that I'm dealing with, but I wish I forget
Used to be feelin' depressed, now that I'm living I'm a little obsessed (Yes)
High in Jacuzzis I be hitting the jets
I'm showing her some love she been givin' me sex (Blessed)
Respect to Adonai
Don't f*ck around and be a victim of your pride
Why you lyin'? (Why you lyin'?) Tell the truth and step aside
I don't got the time to let it slide (Yep)
I'm too grounded, push whips that move mountains
New cribs, blue fountains, these are my surroundings
I've been going through it, you just go around it
But it's really not that different when you think about it

[Chorus]
I'm always sayin' I won't change but
I ain't the same (Same)
Everything is different, I can't complain
You don't know what you missin', shame on you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, shame on you
And everything is strange, that's just a game
Everybody trippin', throwin' it away
We was getting lifted, now we getting paid
Shame on you (Yeah)

[Outro]
