Alltså.... WOW. Kelly Rowland fick mig att tåra upp fullständigt. Jag följer Kelly på insta och såg för någon timme sen, när jag stod och stekte min omelett, att hon precis lagt upp en ny låt från kommande albumet - Talk a good game - på sin soundcloud, och rusade dit för att lyssna. Jag förväntade mig sexig rnb men det här är seriös bikt, som känns fullständigt genuin. Kan inte minnas sist jag blev såhär känslomässigt påverkad av en låt faktiskt. The-Dream har producerat, och Kelly sjunger om att stå i skuggan av Beyoncé, och samtidigt vara i en relation med en manipulativ kvinnomisshandlare.
"Bittersweet / She was up, I was down…Post-Survivor, she on fire…Kinda lucky I was in her shadow”
“Meanwhile this nigga puttin’ his hands on me…I was battered / He hit 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 B. He turned me, against my sister.... I missed ya"
While my sister was on stage killing it like a mother
I was enraged feelin’ it like a mother
Bird in the cage, you would never know what I was dealing
we went our separate ways but I was happy she was killing it
Bitter sweet, she was up I was down.
No lie I feel good for her, but what do I do now?
Meanwhile, this n-gga putting his hands on me
swear y’all don’t know the half of this industry.
Chorus
Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry.
Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry.
When you’re soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
When you make pain look this good it never wears out
It’s dirty laundry, dirty laundry
And it’s almost been a decade, I’m behind them black shades
Roll up like it’s all good, riding in that Escalade
Fix my make up, get it together Kelly get it together
Then we make up, we’ll get it together, get it together
Kind of lucky I was in her shadow.
Phone call from my sister. Whats the matter?
She said Oh no, You’ve got to leave.
I’m on the kitchen floor. He took the keys
I was mad at everybody. I mean everybody.
Yea her her her, everybody
Five years later, I got my sh-t down pack.
Think I had it good and they don’t know how bad.
Fooled everybody except myself.
Soaking in this hurt, bathing in this hurt.
[Chorus]
So here I am in this spin cycle,
We coming and we going, nobody could notice
I was trapped in this house lying to my mama
Thought it could get no worse as we maximized the drama.
Started to call them people on him, I was battered.
He hit the window like it was me until it shattered.
He pulled me out and said “Don’t nobody love you but me
not yo mama, not your daddy and especially not Bey”
He turned me against my sister, I missed ya!
