Dirty Laundry - Kelly Rowland

[Chorus]
Let's do this dirty laundry, dirty laundry this
Let's do this dirty laundry, dirty laundry this
When you're soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
When you look this good makeup pain it never wears out
This dirty laundry, dirty laundry this

[Verse 1]
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 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 bullshit
Post-survivor, she on fire, who want to hear my bullshit?
Meanwhile, this nigga putting his hands on me
I swear y'all do not know the half of this industry

[Chorus]
Let's do this dirty laundry, dirty laundry this
Let's do this dirty laundry, dirty laundry this
When you're soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
When you look this good makeup pain it never wears out
This dirty laundry, dirty laundry this

[Verse 2]
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 do not know how bad
Fooled everybody, except myself
Soaking in this hurt, bathing in the dirt

[Chorus]
Let's do this dirty laundry, dirty laundry this
Let's do this dirty laundry, dirty laundry this
When you're soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
When you look this good makeup pain it never wears out
This dirty laundry, dirty laundry this

[Verse 3]
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
Them people started to call on him
I was battered
He hittin the window like it was me, until it shattered
He pulled me out, he said, "Do not nobody love you but me
Not your mom, not your daddy and especially not Bey "
He turned me against my sister
I missed ya

[Chorus]
Let's do this dirty laundry, dirty laundry this
Let's do this dirty laundry, dirty laundry this
When you're soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
When you look this good makeup pain it never wears out
This dirty laundry, dirty laundry this
