[VERSE 1]
While my si[Dm]ster was on stage, k[Am]illing it like a motherfker
[Dm]I was enraged, [Am]feeling it like a motherfker
[Dm]Bird in a cage, you would [Am]never know what I was dealing with
[Dm]Went out separate ways, but I was [Am]happy she was killing it
[Dm]Bittersweet, she was [Am]up, I was down
[Dm]No lie, I feel good for her, but [Am]what do I do now?
[Dm]Forget the records, off the record,
[Am]I was going through some bullsht
[Dm]Post-survivor, she on fire, [Am]who wanna hear my bullsht?
[Dm]Meanwhile, this nigga putting his h[Am]ands on me (...)

[Dm]Fix my make-up, '[Am]get it together, Kelly, get it together'
[Dm]Then we make up, [Am]'well get it together, nigga, get it together'
[Dm]Kinda lucky, I was in her shadow
[Am]Phone call from my sister, 'what's the matter?'
[Dm]She said, 'O[Am]h no, baby - you gotta leave! '
[Dm]I'm on the kitchen fl[Am]oor - he took the keys
[Dm]I was mad at everybody[Am], I mean everybody
[Dm]Yeah, her, her, her her [Am]everybody
[Dm]Five years later, I[Am] got my sht down pat
