  • Your body laid out on these filthy floors
    Your bloodstains on my custom coutures
    Bathroom attendant let me right in
    She was a big fan
    I really tried to stay cool
    But your arrogance disturbed my solitude
    Now I ripped your dress and you're all black and blue
    Look what you made me do

    They keep sayin' that I ain't nothin' like my father
    But I'm the furthest thing from choir boys and altars
    If you cross me, I'm just like my father
    I am colder than Titanic water

    Help me, Lord, from these fantasies in my head
    They ain't ever been safe ones
    I don't fellowship with these fake ones
    So let's travel to white chapels and sing hymns
    Hold rosaries and sing in stained-glass symphonies
    Cleanse me, Holy Trinity, from this marijuana smoke smell in my hair

    I sashayed my dress
    Did my best impression of a damsel in distress
    This alcohol and smell of regret
    Allured my catch
    Outfit too small to hide my scars
    Feelin' bottled up like bottle service broads
    How long can he hold his breath before his death?

    Caro mio ben
    Credimi almen
    Senza di te
    Languisce il cor
    Il tuo fedel
    Sospira ognor
    Cessa, crudel
    Tanto rigor
    Ooh
    Ooh

    Help me, Lord, from these fantasies in my head
    They ain't ever been safe ones
    I don't fellowship with these fake ones
    So let's travel to white chapels and sing hymns
    Hold rosaries, sing in stained-glass symphonies
    Cleanse me, Holy Trinity, from this marijuana smoke smell in my hair

    Say I'm nothin' like my father
    But I'm the furthest thing from choir boys and altars
    Double cross me, I'm just like my father
    I am colder than Titanic water Writer/s: Beyonce Knowles, Camaron Ochs, Derek James Dixie, Shawn Carter, Simon OMaartensson, Terius Gesteelde-Diamont
