音乐咖啡厅:K.Flay - DNA (Explicit)

 Started when I was 23, actin' like my daddy

 

I know, I know

 

I recognize parts of you in me, the parts that can't find peace

 

My soul feels old

 

 

I made decisions to prove I was different

 

But you follow me like a ghost

 

Now I'm a little bit lit and I'm pleading¹ the fifth

 

As I'm making a toast

 

 

People say I look like you

 

They say that I got your eyes

 

Your mother says I'm tough like you

 

Even in the ways that she don't like

 

And I can't change it, didn't choose my blood

 

But I made up my mind

 

But I don't want to be like you

 

But either way, I got you in my DNA²

 

My DNA

 

 

I try to just play pretend³ like I didn't fall apart again

 

I'm lonely, like am I the only one?

 

When blockin' out the shame stops workin'

 

Can't you tell, can't you tell that I'm hurtin'?

 

 

Hold me if you love me, come show me

 

Found myself down on the pavement

 

No matter which way that I turned, I was low

 

But you went before me and traveled the stories

 

To places I shouldn't go

 

 

People say I look like you

 

They say that I got your eyes

 

Your mother says I'm tough like you

 

Even in the ways that she don't like

 

And I can't change it, didn't choose my blood

 

But I made up my mind

 

But I don't want to be like you

 

But either way, I got you in my DNA

 

My DNA

 

My DNA

 

My DNA

 

 

The t-shirt you gave me in '96

 

It's bleached and it's faded, but it still fits

 

And I know that you thought that you fucked up

 

'Cause I used to too, but then I grew up

 

Now I'm the same age you were when you had me

 

And I'm not ready to be anybody's daddy

 

You and I, we both sing the same blues

 

I wish that you were here so I could thank you

 

 

I know that I look like you

 

I see it in my own two eyes

 

My mother says I'm tough like you

 

Even in the ways I know she likes

 

And I'm not angry, didn't choose my blood

 

But I made up my mind

 

I know that I'm just like you

 

But either way, I got you in my DNA

 

My DNA

 

My DNA

 

My DNA

 

My DNA
