 While my sister was on stage, killing it like a motherfucker
 I was enraged, feeling it like a motherfucker
 Bird in a cage, you would never know what I was dealing with
 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 going through some bullshit
 Post Survivor, she on fire, who wanna hear my bullshit?
 Meanwhile this nigga putting his hands on me
 I swear y'all don't know the half of this industry

 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, nigga, 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 shit 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

 So here I am in the spin cycle we're coming and we're going
 Nobody can notice
 And I was trapped in his house, lying 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 you
